Gu Zhichuan had never given her anything. The only valuable jewelry he had prepared for her was the wedding ring.
At the North Mountain Villa.
Gu Zhichuan took out a pair of wedding rings. The diamonds on the ladyâs ring reflected light beautifully.
That day, Lin Gantang left the church and he did not have time to put the ring on the bride.
Gu Zhichuan closed the jewelry box and locked it.
He lit a cigarette. He probably felt indignant, so he couldnât forget.
For the next few days, Gu Zhichuan went to the Cat Bookstore. Sometimes, he would see Lin Gantang, and at other times, Lin Gantang was not around.
Gu Zhichuan had just left when Wen Yanqing came over from the office and recognized his car.
Wen Yanqing stood outside the door with his hands in his pockets as he stared in the direction Gu Zhichuan had left. The autumn wind blew his hair, revealing his dark eyes.
âWhere are you?â he asked, taking out his phone.
Lin Gantangâs relaxed voice was heard. âIâm in the pet shop choosing toys for the cats. You got off so early from work today?â
âYes.â
âWait for me. 1â11 be back soon.â
Not long after, Lin Gantang returned with half a bag of things. When she saw Wen Yanqing standing outside the door, she ran over happily and held his hand. âWhy are your hands so cold? What are you standing outside for? Itâs so warm inside.â
Lin Gantang did not know that Gu Zhichuan had come that day, and Wen Yanqing did not mention it either.
âIâm not cold.â Wen Yanqing took the bag from her.
âCome in. Iâll leave with you after Iâm done with Xiaoxi.â
In less than ten minutes, the two of them left the bookstore.
Lin Gantang sat in the car and suddenly remembered, âItâs my dadâs birthday in a few days. What should I prepare? He doesnât lack ordinary things.â
âAre we having a birthday party?â
âMy dad doesnât like it. He said that a family meal is enough.â Lin Gantang turned to look at him and said, âYou should come too. My dad will definitely be happy.â
âAlright.â Wen Yanqing smiled.
Lin Mingzhuoâs birthday happened to fall on a Sunday, three days later.
Lin Gantang directly asked Jiang Tongtong about the arrangements for that day. Jiang Tong Tong pursed her lips into a smile and said, somewhat embarrassed, that she was going to make a birthday cake for Mr. Lin.
The previous year, she and Zhaonan had carefully chosen a gift, but Mr. Lin had scolded them.
Mr. Lin didnât want to do things like exchanging of gifts.
Lin Gantang expressed that she understood. She returned to the bookstore and flipped through cookery books.
Wen Yanqing had arrived especially early that day. Lin Gantang was a little surprised to see him. âArenât you busy today?â
Wen Yanqing glanced around the bookstore and acknowledged, âWork has been arranged. I have more time these two days.â
âDo you want to learn how to cook?â Wen Yanqing asked when he saw the book in her hand.
âI want to cook a meal for my dad, but I only know a little. Brewing soup is still alright,â Lin Gantang said honestly.
Wen Yanqing removed the book from her hand and placed it back in its original place. âI know how to.â
âHuh? What will you do with me?â
âIâll make it for you. You donât have to learn.â Wen Yanqing could not help but laugh. âIs it for Uncleâs birthday? Iâll do it with you.â
Lin Gantangâs eyes lit up.
He half-hugged Lin Gantang and ran his fingers through her thick hair, combing it gently. âWho has drunk the soup you made?â
âGuâ¦â
Wen Yanqing kissed the tip of Lin Gantangâs nose affectionately and rubbed his face against hers. He asked softly, âWhose name did you want to say just now?â âNo⦠No one.â Lin Gantang blushed. âSomeone will see us!â
âItâs good if they do.â His gaze met Gu Zhichuanâs, who was not far behind Lin Gantang. He looked straight at him and smiled. He lowered his head to kiss Lin Gantangâs lips..
