Lin Gantang didnât know why Wen Rendong had asked her out. What couldnât be said here?
She glanced at Wen Yanqing and then nodded at Wen Rendong.
Before she came out, she even pushed the glass of water inwards, afraid that Wen Yanqing would accidentally spill it and wet himself. She additionally straightened Wen Yanqingâs shoes so that he would be able to put them on if he got out of bed, lest he could not see or find them.
She was very attentive, and Wen Rendong was filled with emotions he could not express. He gripped the document in his hand, hoping that he had not misjudged her.
He and Lin Gantang went to the corridor, which was a distance from the ward.
Wen Rendong looked towards the ward and made sure that Wen Yanqing had not come out. Then, he looked back at Lin Gantang. After a moment of silence, he said, âWhen Yanqing is in the hospital, there will be a nurse to help him with his daily life. You donât have to do it yourself. You have to take care and rest too. Donât tire yourself out.â
âItâs just a small matter. Itâs not tiring. Besides, I know Yanqingâs habits better than the nurse. Heâll feel more comfortable if I take care of him,â Lin Gantang said.
Wen Rendong saw her persistence and did not persuade her further.
âUncle Wen, is there anything you wanted to say to me? Is it Yanqingâs injuriesâ¦â Lin Gantang was worried.
âNo, Uncle has something to tell you. Take a look.â Wen Rendong handed her the document in his hand.
Lin Gantang took it and saw âPersonal share transfer agreementâ on it. She flipped through it in confusion and frowned.
âIâll transfer part of my shares in Shengfang Group to you. If you think itâs too little, I can raise it by another percentage,â Wen Rendong said.
âUncle Wen, what does this mean?â Lin Gantang handed the agreement back.
Wen Rendong did not take it.
He placed his hands behind his back and looked deeply at Lin Gantang. âYanqingâs surgery is completed. We donât know the outcome. If he still canât see, I hope that you can continue to accompany him for the sake of this fortune.â
âDo you think I lack money?â Lin Gantang scoffed.
âYou donât lack money, but Shengfangâs shares will make you richer. Who would complain about having more assets? This is just a little token of my appreciation. I hope you can accept it.â
âPlease take it back.â Lin Gantang maintained her posture of handing over the document. âEven without this agreement, I will still accompany him and never leave him. If I accept it, it will seem that my motives are impure. What do you want Yanqing to think?â
Lin Gantang knew that Wen Rendong was probably someone who did not believe in love. Otherwise, he would not have played havoc for so many years without giving his heart away. Even if he married a wife, he would not hesitate to divorce her.
Obviously, he did not believe that love could keep the two of them together.
âMy feelings for Yanqing are not because I was moved by his love for me for eight years, nor is it because I was grateful for his life-saving grace. I am clear about my feelings.â Lin Gantangâs expression was serious. âTo put it bluntly, I wonât leave him even if heâs crippled, let alone blind. Can you think of our future in a better direction?â
Wen Rendongâs expression changed slightly.
He sighed imperceptibly. âBut this is something that I canât help but worry about as a father. Iâll feel more at ease if you take the shares. If Yanqing recovers, just treat it as a betrothal gift from the Wen family. No one will say anything.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIf itâs a betrothal gift, Iâll accept it, but please send it to my father.â Lin Gantang smiled. âEven though we donât have parentsâ orders or matchmakersâ words now, we still have to go through the proper procedures, right? Since Uncle Wen has time to let his thoughts run wild, why donât we decide on the guests for the reception? I donât mind holding a wedding with Yanqing after heâs discharged..â
