Chapter 718 - 718 His selfishness is beyond redemption

Lin Gantang somehow managed to allay the suspicions of the staff, convincing her that both parties were aware and not deceived, successfully obtaining the marriage certificate.

Lin Gantang kept looking at the brand-new Household register over and over again.

“I’ll hold it for you,” Wen Yanqing extended his hand.

“I haven’t finished looking at it yet,” Lin Gantang refused to hand it over.

Wen Yanqing lowered his hand and tried to reach out to hold her hand, cautiously asking, “Are you still angry now?”

“Are you still thinking about no hope in life and telling me to find someone else?” Lin Gantang asked.

He wasn’t thinking that anymore. She said she wanted to go abroad, to get rid of the child, and in that moment he almost went mad.

These days his heart was being torn apart every single moment, cut by cut, a bloody mess, too horrible to look at. In the end, he still wanted to have her, his selfishness was beyond redemption.

Wen Yanqing took her hand, feeling much more settled in his heart, and after being silent for a while he asked, “The child…”

Lin Gantang felt guilty.

She picked up her phone to change the subject, “Wait, I forgot I haven’t turned on my phone.”

When the phone started up, the screen displayed dozens of missed calls and a glaring red number of unread messages in the corner of the chat app.

A jolt went through Lin Gantang’s heart. They were all from her dad.

As soon as she turned on her phone, another call from Mr. Lin came in. Lin Gantang quickly answered, and before she could say hello, she heard her dad bellow, “Lin Gantang, is your phone just a decoration? Look how many times I’ve called you!”

Lin Gantang shrank her neck, “Dad…”

“Where are you now? Get back here!”

Lin Gantang asked in a weak voice, “Dad, why are you angry?”

“Are you going to register?”

Lin Gantang glanced at Wen Yanqing and said, “I did it with your approval.”

“You didn’t tell the truth! Why didn’t you tell me about Yanqing’s current condition? You just rush into things without thinking, right? Come back here! Return the Household register to me!”

Lin Gantang said, “Okay, okay, don’t be angry, here you go, I’m coming back now.”

After hanging up the phone, Wen Yanqing asked her, “Was that your dad’s call?”

“Right, he’s looking for me, I need to go back first,” Lin Gantang thought she couldn’t let Wen Yanqing know about this, and then said, “I’ll have the driver take you home first, I’ll go to my dad’s and then come find you.”

“Shall I come with you?”

“No, you must go home to take your medicine on time, three meals a day, rest regularly,” Lin Gantang’s attitude was firm, leaving no room for refusal.

Wen Yanqing could only nod.

The car first headed back to the Wen family’s home.

On the way, Wen Yanqing said he wanted to look at the marriage certificate again. After opening it and touching it a few times, he didn’t give it back to Lin Gantang. When he got out of the car, he took it with him.

Lin Gantang returned to the Lin family house alone, peered into the living room, and, seeing the low pressure coming from Mr. Lin, she inwardly cursed her bad luck.

Mr. Lin’s sharp gaze swept over, and Lin Gantang obediently sat on the sofa.

“Are you aware of Yanqing’s situation?”

“Yes.”

“If you’re aware, why didn’t you tell Dad!” Mr. Lin slammed the table, “Before he lost his sight, you said you didn’t mind. Fine, it’s just blindness, Dad let you have your way. But now, is his current situation the same as before?”

In a weak voice, Lin Gantang asked, “Dad, don’t you really like Yanqing?”

“Dad does like him, but you are my daughter, you are!” Mr. Lin pointed at Lin Gantang, wishing he could poke her head to wake her up from this vexing nonsense, “Think about how distressed Dad was when your mum was about to pass away. Can Dad bear to see you follow in my footsteps, walk down my path?”

“Your path’s ending wasn’t perfect, but it’s been happy all along,” Lin Gantang said.

Mr. Lin’s words stuck in his throat were directly choked off by her..
