âWhy did you come back before business hours are over? Are you always so casual with your business?â Mr. Lin criticized.
âDad, did you eat the wrong medicine?â Lin Gantang was baffled.
So should she return early or late, after business hours?
1 didnât offend you today, did 1?
At this moment, Wen Yanqing poured a cup of tea for Mr. Lin. âUncle, have some tea. Itâs fine if 1 wait. Gantang is quite tired after a busy day. Iâll go make noodles for her.â
Mr. Lin sighed. âSigh, youâre just pampering her too much. Iâve only said a few words to her and your heart already aches.â
âGirls should be spoiled,â Wen Yanqing said gently.
âAlright, alright.â He gave his own daughter the cold shoulder, but it was a different story for others. Mr. Lin smiled. âGantang is really blessed to be able to be your girlfriend.â
Wen Yanqing went to the kitchen and easily found and put on an apron. He then went to the fridge to look for some ingredients.
âWhatâs wrong with my dad tonight? Does he want me to starve to death so that he can save on food?â Lin Gantang ran to his side and sighed, âYouâre still the best, Yanqing.â
âIs that so?â Wen Yanqing smiled.
âOf course, but youâre not allowed to bite me next time. Itâs so obvious that I canât hide it,â Lin Gandang complained softly.
So, as long as it can be covered, itâs fine, right? Wen Yanqing understood.
Wen Yanqing made a bowl of longevity noodles for her. As she ate the noodles, Lin Gandangâs eyes lit up slightly. It was delicious.
Wen Yanqing sat in front of her and ruffled her hair. His voice was as gentle as the breeze and as warm as the moon. âHappy birthday.â
Lin Gandang was stunned.
Mr. Lin heard a little and turned around from the TV show. âHmm? Birthday? Whose birthday? Is it Gantangâs birthday today?â
Lin Gantang had just been touched by Wen Yanqingâs sincerity, but she was interrupted by Mr. Linâs words. âDad, have you forgotten your daughterâs birthday?â
âHow can 1 remember? 1 donât even remember my own birthday,â Mr. Lin said confidently.
It was so true that Lin Gantang was dumbstruck.
Mr. Lin remembered that his daughter had previously helped him celebrate his birthday. He thought about it and suggested, âWhy donât 1 call your brother and sister-in-law over to make a birthday cake for you?â
Lin Gantang quickly hugged her longevity noodles and immediately rejected the idea. âNo, donât trouble them. This bowl of noodles is enough for me, really!â
âWhy didnât you tell me itâs your birthday earlier?â Mr. Lin glanced at Lin Gantang and asked in confusion, âThereâs something on your lips. Youâre already an adult. Donât you wipe your mouth when you eat?â
Lin Gantang quickly got up and sat down with her back facing Mr. Lin. She then stomped on Wen Yanqingâs foot.
She looked up and saw that Wen Yanqing was secretly laughing at her. How infuriating!
Who was the one who broke her skin; he still had the cheek to laugh!
Lin Gantang glared at him.
After finishing her noodles, Lin Gantang sat far away from her father. Every time he looked over, she was afraid that he would again ask her why she didnât wipe her mouth.
âDad, why didnât you go for a walk tonight?â Lin Gantang wanted to send him away.
âItâs cold, Iâm too lazy to move.â Mr. Lin put on his reading glasses and replied to his old friend on his phone. â1 have an appointment with a friend tomorrow morning. Iâll be back at night. By the way, do you two have any plans for New Yearâs Day?â
âThe bookstore is doing well during the holidays. I want to go to the shop,â Lin Gantang said.
Mr. Lin suddenly thought of Wen Yanqingâs three-day leave. One was on leave while the other was busy. When would he be able to hold the wedding for these two? Mr. Lin pushed his glasses up. âYanqing is so busy with work, but heâs still free. What are you busy with? Give yourself a break too.â
Lin Gandang immediately turned to look at Wen Yanqing. âAre you free on New Yearâs Day? Why didnât you say so earlier?â
âYou said you were ignoring me,â Wen Yanqing said in a low voice.
For some reason, he felt a little wronged. Lin Gantang had even eaten the noodles made by him, so her heart softened on the spot..
