After the incident, the Lin family began to prepare for the wedding of Lin Zhaonan and Jiang Tongtong.
The date was already set, just a month away. Mr. Lin called Jiangâs parents and they had no objections.
âIâve arranged to meet your parents to discuss the details of the wedding,â Mr. Lin said to Jiang Tongtong.
Jiang Tongtongâs family was simple, just the three of them, with Jiang Tongtong being their only daughter.
âIâll draft a guest list later. If you have any classmates or friends you want to invite, make sure to add them.â Mr. Lin advised, âTime is tight, but there arenât many auspicious dates in the second half of the year that align with your compatibility. We canât wait until Tongtong gives birth to arrange the wedding. Thatâs not appropriate. Zhaonan, make sure to take care of the wedding planning and bridal photos.â
Listening to her fatherâs incessant chatter, Lin Gantang couldnât help but remark, âDad, why donât you find a partner for yourself? Being both a father and a mother, it seems like you need a helping hand.â
Mr. Lin shot her a stern look. âStop stirring up trouble. Thatâs better than anything!â
In the afternoon, Lin Gantang accompanied Jiang Tongtong for shopping.
In the past, Lin Gantang had bullied Jiang Tongtong too many times, so Lin Zhaonan was not too assured. However, when he thought about how the two of them had been getting along quite well recently, he did not say anything.
âWhy didnât you ask my brother to come with you?â Lin Gantang inquired in the car.
Jiang Tongtong didnât have many friends, and her relationship with Lin Gantang used to be quite strained. Whenever she went out, she usually went alone or with Lin Zhaonan.
âBuying some things for women.â Jiang Tongtong said in a soft voice, as if embarrassed, âEver since I got pregnant, Iâve felt that my underwear doesnât fit well, and, well, weâre getting marriedâ¦â
So what if they were getting married? Lin Gantang couldnât quite grasp the implication in her words.
Jiang Tongtongâs personality indeed didnât seem like she would bring Lin Zhaonan along to shop for lingerie. Seeing the risque lingerie in the store, Lin Gantang understood.
Ah, honeymoon stuff, got it.
She leaned over to see the size Jiang Tongtong picked, then turned around and picked a few sets.
When paying the bill, Jiang Tongtong saw the things in Lin Gantangâs hands that made one blush with just a glance. She stammered, âTangtang, you want to buy this?â
âItâs for you.â Lin Gantang handed the items to the store clerk to be packed.
Jiang Tongtongâs face turned crimson. âWhat do 1 need this for?â
âArenât you getting married? Donât be shy. Itâs just a small thing. And remember to be gentle when you have a child,â Lin Gantang reassured her calmly.
âI meant that 1 want to secretly choose a wedding gift for Zhaonan,â Jiang Tongtong explained, her face flushed.
âOh,â Lin Gantang responded. âThat makes sense. The gift is chosen then.â
Jiang Tongtong was on the verge of tears.
After settling the bill, Lin Gantang helped her carry the bags, not giving her a chance to return any items on the spot.
Considering Jiang Tongtong was pregnant and he didnât want her to get too tired from shopping, Lin Gantang accompanied her to buy a few other things. After they packed the items into the car, she asked Uncle Yang to take her home first.
Jiang Tongtong remembered that she had plans for Sunday evening, so she didnât invite her to go back with her.
Lin Gantang leaned down and sent her location to Wen Yanqing. When she passed by a menâs clothing store, she suddenly remembered Wen Yanqingâs white shirt.
In her memory, Wen Yanqing used to be a fan of hoodies, but he hadnât seen him wearing them lately.
The clothes in the shop window looked great, stylish, and youthful yet not too casual. Lin Gantang thought they would suit him.
So she sent another message to Wen Yanqing. âWhatâs your height, weight, and measurements?â
Wen Yanqing, who was about to set off, read it twice with confusion. Finally, he sent his details and asked, âWhat are you up to?â
âWaiting for you,â she replied.
Wen Yanqing wanted to change the way he asked, but he was afraid that he was overthinking things.
But ultimately, his inner anticipation won out. Wen Yanqing ventured, âAre you planning to buy me clothes?â
âBuying you some underwear.â
Wen Yanqingâs ears turned red, burning hot..
