Chapter 692: Hasn’t He Told You Yet?
After My Rebirth, I Escaped My Marriage
Yi Qian saw her deep in thought and prepared to quickly make his escape before he got asked any more questions, which could lead to talking too much and giving himself away.
He held the documents and said, âThe CEO has just finalized a few plans, and I need to get back to the company. Itâs quite urgent, so I wonât take up any more of Miss Linâs time.â
Urgent matters? Lin Gantang couldnât very well stop him, so she let him go.
But she couldnât help wondering if it was just her imagination that Special Assistant Yi seemed to run off particularly fast.
So urgent? No wonder Wen Yanqing said first thing in the morning that he was waiting for him; it seems the companyâs work is indeed pressing.
Lin Gantang withdrew her gaze and pieced together the events before and after.
After finishing his tasks, Wen Yanqing was on the terrace with Big Mi, taking in the breeze to relax, and then they had lunch and took a walk togetherâeverything appeared to be no different from usual.
Lin Gantang wondered if she was overthinking it.
âDo you want to make plans with friends to go out?â asked Wen Yanqing as he petted the tabby cat, âHaving a few more friends wouldnât be a bad idea, right? It must get boring always hanging out with me.â
âArenât my fair-weather friends enough already?â Lin Gantang replied, âDidnât I used to play wild enough? I nearly gave my dad high blood pressure with my antics. Now Iâm cultivating my character and temperament, donât you tempt me.â
Wen Yanqing pursed his lips. âIâm not tempting you. Last time I went back, your uncle missed you a lot. Why donât you go stay there for a few days?â
âAre you coming with me?â Lin Gantang looked up.
âI might not be very convenient to go, with my condition. Going there would just cause trouble for your uncle.â
âIf you donât go, I wonât go,â Lin Gantang said without hesitation.
Wen Yanqing lowered his gaze. âIâm just afraid you wonât feel comfortable staying at the Wen familyâs place.â
Lin Gantang observed him for a long moment, then asked with furrowed brows, âWhy are you always telling me to go out? Do you want me to leave?â
Wen Yanqingâs lips moved slightly, then he forced a smile. âNo, Tangtang, youâre overthinking it.â
Good, Lin Gantang hummed lightly and said, âThe only thing the cat has left is the Vitamin E and the new vaccine. Letâs go get it done today; you should come out with me.â
âWhy not let the servants take it instead?â Wen Yanqing asked.
âDidnât you always tell me to go out for a walk? If youâre cooped up in the house every day, isnât that more boring?â Lin Gantang said. âIâm willing to go out now, and yet you donât want to come with me?â
She knew Wen Yanqingâs concerns. âThereâs nothing inconvenient about it. Iâll hold your hand tight, I wonât lose you.â
Lin Gantang put Vitamin E in the cat carrier and asked the driver to take them to the pet hospital.
On the way, Vitamin E nestled into the soft padding of the cage, his body still but meowing from time to time, Lin Gantang didnât know what he was saying. The cat seemed to be quite happy talking by himself.
At the pet hospital.
Lin Gantang hadnât expected to run into Gu Zhichuan here.
He was at the counter, letting the vet assistant take out deworming medication, and the cat in the cage next to him, likely his, was spinning around inside.
Lin Gantang remembered the incident when Gu Zhichuan had upset her boyfriend and decided not to heed him.
However, as soon Gu Zhichuan turned his head and noticed the two of them, his eyes swept over Lin Gantang and Wen Yanqingâs faces, and their entwined hands, his gaze dimmed slightly.
Still so close.
âYou havenât told her yet?â Gu Zhichuan asked with his hands in his pockets, looking straight at Wen Yanqing.
Wen Yanqing tightened his grip on Lin Gantangâs hand.
Lin Gantangâs gaze circled around the two men. âHavenât told me what?â
âHeâ¦â Gu Zhichuan began.
âGu Zhichuan!â
Interrupted, Gu Zhichuan turned to look at Wen Yanqing, his expression the usual cold. âAfraid I will tell?â
âMiss Lin, please bring your cat over,â Dr. Xia said at that moment.
Lin Gantang took Wen Yanqing with her, but noticing he didnât move, she looked back at him.
âYou take Vitamin E over there, Iâve got something to say to Mr. Gu..â
