It was impossible for her to shut up. Lin Gantang directly exposed him. âDid I say anything about you drinking secretly? I didnât take a key from Yanqingâs family either. What did you say Iâm doing?â
âIâve given you the password to open the door,â Wen Yanqing interjected.
âLook, look. Who should I scold, if not you?â Mr. Lin immediately seized the opportunity to retort. âWhat has it got to do with drinking? Which eye of yours saw that I was the one who drank?â
Seeing that they were about to argue, Wen Yanqing kindly scooped a bowl of soup for Mr. Lin. âUncle, drink this soup. Gantang is worried about your health.â
Then, he peeled the prawns for Lin Gantang. âUncle, your blood lipid level is under control now. Itâs okay to drink a little.â
âItâs still Yanqing whoâs considerate.â Mr. Lin picked up the soup and took a sip. âSigh, the soup that Yanqing scoops is really different. Itâs especially sweet.â
Lin Gantang tacitly agreed with his wording regarding drinking less. She complained, âWhat does it have to do with him? Itâs obviously Auntie Zhang who brewed it well.â
Mr. Lin didnât want to talk to his annoying daughter. He looked at Wen Yanqing kindly and amiably. âCome over for dinner more often in the future. Look at Lin Zhaonan. Heâs so busy that he doesnât even come back. Donât learn from him.â
âUncle is right. Careers are important, but itâs more important to accompany the people around you. But Iâm going on a business trip tomorrow. Iâll definitely accompany Uncle when 1 come back.â Wen Yanqing smiled.
âOn a business trip again?â Mr. Lin was displeased.
âIâll be in Country Y for half a month. Iâll bring you two bottles of wine when I return.â
Mr. Lin chuckled when he heard that there would be alcohol. âI like it when young people like you have a strong sense of professionalism. Go ahead. Be careful.â
Lin Gantang couldnât stand it anymore. Her brother was being ridiculed for working overtime and not being able to go home. Wen Yanqing going on a business trip was having professionalism, and he still brought wine? Lin Gantang gave Wen Yanqing a warning look.
Wen Yanqing immediately understood. âUncle, you canât drink too much. Having a little is enjoyable. Otherwise, I wonât dare to bring you more in the future.â
âIâll listen to you, Iâll listen to you.â Mr. Lin was joyful.
After dinner, Wen Yanqing didnât go back. He sat in the living room with Lin Gantang and watched Mr. Lin fiddle with the blueprints.
Mr. Linâs enthusiasm for preparing toys for his grandson had yet to die down. However, he was no longer making a small car by himself. He suddenly had the idea of installing a childrenâs slide in the small garden.
Lin Gantang was used to him messing around. She leisurely leaned against Wen Yanqing and watched a drama. She leaned closer and whispered, âAre you going back early tonight? Pack your luggage.â
âI donât want to leave,â Wen Yanqing replied in a low voice.
âIf you stay over tonight, you wonât be able to catch the flight tomorrow morning,â Lin Gantang whispered into his ear.
The soft and numbing wind blew against his ears. Wen Yanqing rubbed her hair and slowly picked up a candy from the coffee table and peeled it open.
Wen Yanqing bit on a piece of candy, grabbed Lin Gantang, and forced it into her mouth. He then took the opportunity to arrogantly kiss her.
Lin Gantangâs face turned hot. She quickly pushed him away and glanced at Mr. Lin.
Mr. Lin was focused on choosing the style of slide.
Lin Gantang heaved a sigh of relief and turned around to give him a punch. This fellow was still smiling with his eyes curved into crescents, especially admiring her nervous look.
Lin Gantang gritted her teeth and pinched his waist.
Wen Yanqing let out a loud cry.
Mr. Lin raised his head when he heard the cry. âWhat are you doing, Lin Gantang? Are you bullying Yanqing in front of me?â
âIâ¦â Lin Gantang wanted to retort.
âUncle, donât scold Tangtang. Itâs not her.â Wen Yanqing softly interrupted.
Mr. Lin glared at him. âDonât speak up for her. She even bullies you at home. Would she not have her nose in the air when itâs someplace I canât see!â
Wen Yanqing covered his smile with his fist.
Lin Gantang felt aggrieved..
