Chapter 68: Since We Are Together, She Can Only Be Mine
“You don’t get to see Wen Yanqing all the time.” Bei Bei nudged Xu Bingxi with her elbow and playfully suggested, “I’m curious about how Lin Gantang agreed to Wen Yanqing’s pursuit. Should we go over and gossip a bit?”
Xu Bingxi shrugged. “If you want to go, go ahead. Gossiping in front of those involved? 1 don’t want my parents to know about this, they will punch me.”
“You’re an adult now, still scared of your parents? How embarrassing!” Bei Bei dragged her towards Lin Gantang.
Lin Gantang had been open about her relationship with Wen Yanqing, not hiding it. Wen Yanqing needed reassurance, and being exposed would give him a sense of stability.
She stood by his side, very close to him. This intimate proximity made Wen Yanqing feel as if he had tasted something sweet, like candy.
He looked at her like he was looking at a cherished treasure he had safeguarded for centuries. The air around them softened.
“Gantang, Bingxi, and I have opened a secret escape room. Would you like to try it when you’re free?” Bei Bei winked playfully, “Many couples go to play. How about going with Mr. Wen?”
Bei Bei was quite interesting. She had strong social skills. She could be friends with someone like Qin Jiayao and also get along well with the temperamental Lin Gantang.
Lin Gantang smiled lightly and didn’t decline, “I’m quite interested. Where is it?”
Bei Bei casually told her the location of the escape room, but internally, she was already screaming. “It’s true! Wen Yanqing is her boyfriend!”
The two chatted happily while sitting together, discussing the process of opening the escape room. Wen Yanqing turned around to get some snacks for Lin Gantang.
Bei Bei observed the mango mousse he brought back and remarked, “The strawberry pudding here is amazing.”
“She doesn’t like strawberries.” Wen Yanqing smiled.
Bei Bei’s expression showed she had never encountered such a thoughtful boyfriend before.
“You guys chat, I’ll go talk to Shi Jun,” Wen Yanqing said softly to Lin Gantang.
Lin Gantang had been scolded by Shi Jun twice before, so she was a bit apprehensive. “Sure, go ahead. I’ll come find you later.”
Wen Yanqing nodded and left, but Lin Gantang’s gaze remained on him.
“Oh my, you’re so affectionate. D*mn this love.” Bei Bei’s mischievous expression brought immense joy to Lin Gantang.
Shi Jun had been around for a while, leaning against the side and observing Wen Yanqing and Lin Gantang.
When he saw Wen Yanqing approach, he raised his wine glass in a greeting. “You mentioned having something tonight, so you’re here?”
“Aren’t you here too?” Wen Yanqing chuckled.
“You should know who I’m here for,” Shi Jun said with a self-mocking tone.
Wen Yanqing glanced at Qin Jiayao.
But Shi Jun turned his gaze towards Lin Gantang, “So, you two are together? Unbelievable.”
“I have to thank you for that phone call at the bar,” Wen Yanqing said.
“I didn’t expect her to agree, that’s why I dared to call,” Shi Jun explained.
Wen Yanqing looked at Lin Gantang, who was chatting with Bei Bei, with a tender gaze.
“Lin Gantang openly told others that you’re her boyfriend which made me respect her more.” Shi Jun smirked.
“I had originally planned to mention it to Uncle Lin when our relationship was more stable,” Wen Yanqing admitted a look of happiness unmistakably present on his face.
Shi Jun knew that ever since their relationship was confirmed, Wen Yanqing had fallen even deeper, unable to escape.
“Have you thought about the future? What if Lin Gantang wants to break up with you?” Shi Jun inquired.
Wen Yanqing took a sip of champagne, his gaze dropping to hide the swirling emotions in his eyes. “I won’t let her go. Since we’re together, she can only be mine, unless I die..”
