Lin Gantang and Ye Qiuqiu had fun and enjoyed themselves. It wasnât that they had to see and do famous things of a certain standard to have fun, but mainly because the friends had a heart-to-heart talk, so they had a good time.
Ye Qiuqiu had to get up early for work the next day. After their night of fun, Lin Gantang sent her home before returning to the hotel.
Lin Gantang had not brought much luggage with her. After washing up, she lay on the bed. Night had fallen here, but it was daytime where Wen Yanqing was.
Lin Gantang rested her cheek on her hand and sent a message to ask if it was convenient to video-call him.
The other party immediately sent a video request.
Lin Gantang happily picked up the call. Wen Yanqing was wearing a
British-styled outfit on the screen, looking elegant, reserved, and gentlemanly.
Lin Gantang thought it looked good and admired it with a smile for a while. âWhat are you looking at? Youâre not even saying anything.â Wen Yanqing laughed.
âI realized that this outfit suits you very well. Iâll get someone to tailor-make a few more for you later.â Lin Gantang was tired of lying on the bed. She turned over, holding her phone with both hands.
Wen Yanqing took a look. âPull up your collar. Be careful outside.â
Lin Gantang looked down and realized that the neckline of her nightgown was too low, half-exposing her breasts. She obediently pulled it up, but still defended herself. âAnyway, Iâm alone. Why should I be afraid of exposing myself?â
Lin Gantang decided not to continue lying down. She sat cross-legged and grinned. âDid you see the photo I sent you today?â
âI saw it.â Wen Yanqing smiled.
Lin Gantang proudly raised her head. âIâm reporting my whereabouts to my boyfriend when Iâm out. I was with Ye Qiuqiu today â there was no one else. Is my boyfriend relieved?â
âYes, your boyfriend is very assured.â Wen Yanqing smiled even more gently. âThen Iâll let you busy yourself with your work. Iâll leave for C City tomorrow morning. Iâll let you know when I get home.â
Lin Gantang chatted with him for a while more before turning off the video call.
Lin Gantang wasnât sleepy yet. She turned on the TV in the hotel and wanted to watch a show. At this time, the doorbell rang. She wore slippers and walked to the door to look through the peephole. It was actually Yin He who pressed the doorbell?
Why was he here and how did he know that she was staying in this room?
Lin Gantang frowned and didnât open the door.
However, he seemed to know that she was inside. He pressed the bell once but no one answered the door. He very patiently pressed the bell a second time. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
After a few times, he knocked. âMiss Lin, I know youâre inside. Is it convenient for you to open the door?â
A man and a woman alone in a hotel. Why would she open the door?
Lin Gantang was not stupid. She was also impatient to hear him continue knocking and disturbing her peace.
She picked up the phone in the room and called the receptionist. Soon, the hotel staff came up and politely asked Yin He to leave.
It was quiet outside. Lin Gantang continued to watch TV in peace. Unexpectedly, half an hour later, there was another knock on the door.
âMiss Lin, Iâm sorry to have disturbed you just now. I didnât mean anything. I just wanted to come over and say hello to you since I happened to see you in H City.â Yin He raised his voice so that Lin Gantang could hear him clearly.
He probably wouldnât give up without a reply. Lin Gantang walked to the door impatiently and said, âNow that youâve said hello, you can leave.â
âOf course, I donât dare to disturb your rest. I bought you a famous local supper as an apology. Iâll leave it at the door,â Yin He said. âIf you feel like eating, you can open the door later.â
Then, there was the sound of plastic bags rustling outside the door.
Lin Gantang saw Yin Heâs expression through the peephole. He didnât look angry at all after being rejected twice. He looked like a gentleman.
However, Lin Gantang was not interested in the gift.
Yin He put down the supper and hid beyond view of the peephole. He waited quietly for a long time, but Lin Gantang didnât open the door. He turned his watch with a gloomy look and finally left..
