Gu Hejun didnât drink. âThereâs no need to entertain me. With the relationship between our two families, thereâs no need to do such frivolous things. Donât you think so, Mr. Wen?â
Wen Yanqing sat down and smiled. âCalling Mr. Wen is too formal. Since our family is close and Tangtang calls you brother, you might as well call me brother-in-law.â
Gu Hejun was dumbstruck.
Lin Gantang took out the chess pieces. She felt that the atmosphere between the pair was a little off. She handed the items to Gu Hejun. âIs there anything else to bring over?â
Gu Hejun took it from her. âNot at the moment. If Uncle Lin wants something, Iâll come over again.â
Wen Yanqing asked Lin Gantang to come to his side. He smiled and said, âThere is no need for A4r. Gu to personally run errands. Xiaofu, if Mr. Gu needs anything in future, you can make a trip over. Mr. Gu is busy with many things, so itâs not good for us to trouble him.â
Wen Yanqing called out with great familiarity to the Lin familyâs helpers. The helpers all treated him as the son-in-law of their employer, and Xiaofu crisply agreed to it.
Gu Hejun picked up the chessboard and stood up. He said to Gantang, âIâll be leaving first. Iâll look for you again.â
âShall I send you off?â Wen Yanqing stood, completely acting like the host.
âNo need,â Gu Hejun rejected.
âAlright, the road is slippery in the snow. Mr. Gu, be careful,â Wen Yanqing reminded him with concern.
Gu Hejun felt uncomfortable and turned around to take a look before leaving the living room.
He saw Wen Yanqing sitting on the sofa with his arm around Lin Gantangâs shoulder, watching him. When he saw him looking over, he even smiled at him.
D*mn!
Gu Hejun left with a dark expression.
Lin Gantang didnât notice the exchange between the two of them. Her attention was attracted by the tabby cat in the carrier.
She opened it and the tabby cat obediently came out for her to carry it.
âWhy did you suddenly come over tonight? And you brought it with you.â Lin Gantang gently stroked the catâs paws. The paws were fluffy and white like mangosteen. It was extremely cute.
âIâm going overseas for a business trip. I brought Little Leopard Flower here for you to take good care of it,â Wen Yanqing said.
âBusiness trip?â Lin Gantang raised her head. âWhere are you going? For how long?â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âAbout half a month to Country Y. 1â11 try my best to come back as soon as possible.â Wen Yanqing patted the tabbyâs head. The cat raised its head comfortably and narrowed its eyes. âThere shouldnât be anything else to settle after Iâm done with work. I can spend the new year with you in peace.â
âDo you want to come to spend the new year at my house?â Lin Gantang smiled again at the mention of the new year.
He didnât like the Wen family and had always spent the Lunar New Year alone at the Yuanshui River.
âAlright, Uncle wonât have any objections, right?â Wen Yanqing smiled gently.
âWhat does he have against it? Heâs earnestly wishing for you to be his biological son.â Lin Gantang complained. Then, she hugged the tabby to her chest and kissed it. âMy cat is so cute! Iâll bring you to work tomorrow.â
Wen Yanqing paused for a moment. He pinched the catâs neck and pulled it back. âDonât kiss it.â
âWhy?â Lin Gantang was puzzled. âItâs so cute!â
Wen Yanqing explained seriously, âCats donât like to be close to people, like dogs do. Itâs best not to use kissing methods that cats donât understand when petting cats. Be careful that it bites or scratches you.â
Lin Gantang was skeptical. Really?
âItâs about time to sterilize the cat. Going into heat will increase the risk of illness.â
âItâs still a child!â Lin Gantang was shocked.
âOh, itâs not its turn yet. Can you make appointments for the cats in your bookstore?â
Lin Gantang quickly snatched her little cutie back.. She never expected her boyfriend to be this kind of person, to take action on his own child!
