After ending the call with Yi Qian, Lin Gantang called Wen Yanqing.
She could almost imagine Yi Qianâs anxious look. She wanted to laugh, but this had happened because of her. She held back her laughter and waited until Wen Yanqing picked up the phone. She said, âWhere is your household register? Iâll bring it to you. You donât have to waste time running back.â
âItâs in the drawer in the room, the second one,â Wen Yanqing said.
âItâs so casually placed?â Lin Gantang got up and walked to the drawer he mentioned. âCan I at least put it in the safe?â Her dad, for example, kept his books tightly locked, afraid that he would lose them.
âIâll put it in the safe after we get our marriage certificate. Iâll set a password for it â the kind that I wonât give you even if you regret and want to take it away.â Lin Gantang heard him chuckling softly.
Hearing his low laughter, Lin Gantangâs ears heated up. She rubbed her ears and said, âYou should hurry back to the meeting. My household register is still with my dad. I have to go home; I wonât be so soon.â
âIâll go with you.â
âI canât run away. If we canât make it today, weâll get it tomorrow. Whatâs the hurry? Todayâs work should be very important?â Lin Gantang laughed. âYi Qian was so anxious that he called me.â
âNot as important as you.â
How could it not be important? She had seen with her own eyes how busy he had been these past few days. If he suddenly left the meeting, she did not know how much effort he would have to put in to make up for it.
Lin Gantang tried to persuade him in another way. âBut I still have something to do in the morning and have to go to the bookstore. Why donât I take the two registers with me? Iâll be done with my work after your meeting as well. Iâll go over and look for you to set off together? Thereâs still time. Itâs still early.â
Lin Gantang insisted, and Wen Yanqing listened to her.
Lin Gantang found Wen Yanqingâs household register in the room and drove straight to her dadâs place.
However, Mr. Lin had gone out early in the morning. Lin Gantang called him to ask where the household register was and if it was still in the safe.
Mr. Lin sat up straight when he heard the question. âHousehold register? What for? Do you want to register?â
âThatâs right. Dad, you guessed it so accurately.â
âIs there a need to guess?â Mr. Lin told her the password to the safe. âRemember to lock it after you take it. Donât tell your brother the new password. That brat, he stole my register previously. Letâs see how heâs going to steal it now!â
Lin Gantang was speechless. He didnât need to steal anymore. After all, he had married his wife.
However, Lin Gantang was excited. Did you hear that? Donât tell her brother the password, but it was alright for her to know it! Her status far surpassed Lin Zhaonanâs!
Wait a minute. Lin Gantang thought of something. âDad, you wonât change the password again after I take it, will you?â she asked tentatively.
âWhat do you mean change it? Dad canât remember so many passwords at my age. Most of the things in the safe are left behind by your mother. If you like it, come back and take it. Your brother is a man and can strive for whatever he wants. Iâm worried that my safe is not decent enough.â
âDad, why are you suddenly so nice to me?â Lin Gantang asked cautiously, feeling something amiss after the initial elation faded.
In the past, he had always despised her whenever he got a hold of her!
Why was he so generous, kind, and doting now?
âDidnât you say that you were going to register your marriage? I have to show you the dowry.â Mr. Lin said, âSee if you like it. If you donât like it, weâll talk when I get back. Eh? The fish has taken the bait. Letâs not talk about it first. Iâm busy!â
Then, Lin Gantang heard a beeping sound. Her dad had hung up the phone. She didnât even have the time to ask him what dowry he was talking about.
But it didnât matter! Lin Gantang stepped on the accelerator and headed home. She wanted to see what treasure her dad had hidden.
