After My Rebirth, I Escaped My Marriage

Under the tabby cat catâs doubtful gaze, which seemed to say âa two-legged beast actually has the same diet as meâ, Lin Gantang âenjoyedâ her fatherâs loving meal.
Mr. Linâs arrival had interrupted the two of them. At night, Lin Gantang lay on the bed and stole a few glances at Wen Yanqing. When she realized that he did not seem to have that intention, she went to sleep with a peace of mind.
In the end, she was woken up by him in the middle of the night. Lin Gantang, who hadnât slept enough, was so frustrated that she scratched him countless times.
The next day, when Lin Gantang woke up, she saw her boyfriend sitting next to her in a loose sleeping robe. He had his head lowered and was focused on cutting her nails.
Lin Gantang raised her right hand in front of her eyes. He had already finished trimming it.
She retracted her left hand. However, Wen Yanqing grabbed it tightly. âDonât move. Itâs almost done.â
âHow am I supposed to get a manicure if itâs so short?â Lin Gantangâs voice was a little soft after waking up.
Wen Yanqing said, âYou donât have to do it. Your nails are pink. They look good to begin with.â
He kissed the back of her hand and coaxed her.
âDonât. Iâll do whatever I want with my nails,â Lin Gantang said as she struggled free from his grip.
Wen Yanqing did not say a word and simply tore off his sleeping robe.
Seeing the marks on his body, Lin Gantang silently and obediently extended her left hand back to him.
ââ¦Was I that ruthless?â Lin Gantang said weakly.
âItâs okay. I like it very much,â he said gently.
âIf you like it, why would you cut mine?â Lin Gantang asked.
âItâs useless for you to scratch here. Remember to scratch where others can see next time,â Wen Yanqing suggested.
You still want others to see it?
Lin Gantang immediately changed her words. âCut it. Cut it off. Itâs not that I donât like manicures. I just think that itâs clean and sanitary if itâs cut short.â
After breakfast Lin Gantang asked Wen Yanqing to send her to the pet rescue center and put the cat that she had agreed to take away into the cat cage.
She had been there many times, and the person in charge already knew her. When he received a stray cat, he would send a picture to ask Lin Gantang if she wanted it.
After all, every cat that Lin Gantang took away was a cat that had a home to return to. It was their wish to help them find a home.
Although a single personâs ability was small, it was a ray of hope, a good deed.
Lin Gantang sent the cat to the pet hospital for quarantine. It was quite late when she returned to the bookstore. The bookstore was comfortable and peaceful in the afternoon.
Lin Gantang entered the shop and saw Shi Muzhen. Then, she realized that the man beside her was the same one who greeted her at the Starlight Dinner.
She did not recognize him before, but now that he was standing next to Shi Muzhen, she remembered that this man was Shi Muzhenâs husband in her previous life.
In her previous life, she had married Gu Zhichuan. Shi Muzhen did not have the chance to do so and was forced to get married under the pressure of her family. Shi Muzhenâs husband was an overseas returnee. His family background was similar to that of the Shi family. After getting to know the two families, they quickly got married.
Later on, Shi Muzhenâs husband chose to settle down overseas and she followed him.
Lin Gantang glanced at the two of them. So now was the time for them to meet?
Shi Muzhenâs attention was focused on the man and she did not notice Lin Gantang.
She said impatiently, âI came out to make things clear to you. Itâs not a date. I already have someone I like. I donât want to hold you up.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI know, but our conditions are very compatible. Are you really not going to consider it?â
Shi Muzhen walked out of the bookstore. When she saw Gu Zhichuan, who had just brushed past her, she was stunned for a moment and immediately turned around to go over.
However, the man beside her was following her closely. Shi Muzhen stopped in her tracks and pointed at Gu Zhichuan unhappily. âThatâs the person I like. He came to look for me. Give up. You canât compare to him..â
