Chapter 79: Wen Yanqing Had Longed For It
Lin Gantang successfully persuaded her blind date partner to leave. The blind date partner called the matchmaker with a sour face.
Upon hearing the news that her daughter had a preference for the same sex, Bei Bei’s mother initially refused to believe it. However, upon recalling the yaoi and yuri manga she discovered them in her room. It was both male-male and female-female relationships, she suddenly felt her world spinning.
Fearing she might provoke Bei Bei further, her mother refrained from pressing the matter, worried that her daughter might rebel and bring home a girlfriend.
When Bei Bei returned home, she anticipated being scolded, but to her surprise, she was met with an unusually gentle mother. This approach had turned out to be surprisingly effective. She only regretted not thinking of it earlier. Bei Bei quickly sent a generous red envelope to Lin Gantang as a token of gratitude.
Feng Yangyang remained unconscious, undergoing urgent medical treatment at the hospital. As she lacked any identification, her family hadn’t been contacted yet.
Meanwhile, Gu Zhichuan’s mood soured after falling victim to a scheme. He also seemed to have lost interest in Grampian Garden. Consequently, news of Feng Yangyang’s kidnapping and relapse remained unknown.
Lin Gantang couldn’t help but notice the recent unusual silence in her high school classmates’ group chat. The absence of Shi Muzhen’s usual disruption was quite unusual.
Holding the bookstore’s design drawings, Lin Gantang was pleased with the outcome. The construction workers had selected the materials, and the renovation of the store was officially underway.
Amidst these tasks, Lin Gantang caught wind of some gossip related to the Gu family. Mr. Gu had broken his hand, keeping Mrs. Gu busy tending to him. This explained the suspension of her beloved tea sessions.
However, these events were inconsequential to Lin Gantang. She was busy sending a message to Wen Yanqing, “What time is your flight back?”
Wen Yanqing, in a distant city, was just about to screenshot his flight information to send to Lin Gantang when a call came in.
It was an unfamiliar number from C City.
Wen Yanqing answered the call, “Hello.”
Le Yu’s voice sounded uncertain on the other end. Checking his phone, he confirmed that it was indeed Lin Gantang’s number.
“Hello, I’m looking for Lin Gantang. Can you let her take the call?” Le Yu inquired.
Wen Yanqing’s eyebrows furrowed slightly at the young man’s voice, but her tone remained gentle, “I’m afraid that won’t be convenient. She’s not with me. May I know who are you?”
“Who are you, and why do you have her phone?”
“Sir, 1 believe there’s a misunderstanding. This is my phone number, and I’m Lin Gantang’s boyfriend.”
Boyfriend?
Wen… Wen Wen Wen Wen Wen Yanqing?
“Sorry for the interruption!” Le Yu exclaimed in shock.
He swiftly ended the call, his face flushed.
Fortunately, he hadn’t said anything inappropriate. Could the Wen family’s wealth overpower the Le family’s?
Le Yu hastened to delete the number. The awkwardness was almost unbearable.
Glancing at her contacts, Wen Yanqing called Lin Gantang.
A soft voice greeted her, “Hello.”
“Somebody called me earlier, looking for you,” Wen Yanqing informed her.
Lin Gantang recalled the incident and laughed heartily. She shared the story of Le Yu requesting her contact information.
Wen Yanqing was amused by her laughter and smiled. “He must be quite frustrated.”
“I did nothing wrong. Finding you means finding me.” Lin Gantang laughed uncontrollably.
During the call, Wen Yanqing also informed her of his flight’s return time to C City.
At the airport, the display showed the flight status, indicating an on-time arrival.
Wen Yanqing, off the plane, briskly made his way to the pick-up point. Among the crowd, he spotted Lin Gantang holding a sunflower, looking around.
For a long time, Wen Yanqing had anticipated this moment.
He had hoped that one day, upon his return, his beloved would be waiting for him here.
His small wish had come true, and the sensation was incredibly sweet.
Not far behind her, Wen Yanqing watched her quietly, smiling serenely.
Lin Gantang seemed to sense something and turned around. Delighted, she approached him.
At that moment, his smile resembled sunshine, radiant and beautiful..
