Chapter 746: 746 Tangtang is busy, we are occupied
After My Rebirth, I Escaped My Marriage
After saying goodbye to Yin Zhen, Lin Gantang returned home with Wen Yanqing.
After taking a shower, Lin Gantang unintentionally looked up while drawing the curtains and saw a sky full of stars.
Breezes of utmost comfort blew in, the early summer night tranquil and peaceful.
âYanqing, there are so many stars out tonight,â Lin Gantang said, gazing unblinkingly at the sky.
Wen Yanqing slowly dried his hair. âHave you found the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd stars?â he asked.
ââ¦Canât find them.â
Other than the Big Dipper and the North Star she found the last time they went camping.
Lin Gantang fell silent, drew the curtains closed, took out the hairdryer, plugged it in and handed it to him, then lay on the bed and excitedly started playing a game.
Listening to the sounds of the game, Wen Yanqing lowered his head to touch the hairdryer in his hand and didnât move.
âWhy arenât you blowing?â Lin Gantang caught a glimpse of him sitting there doing nothing.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Wen Yanqing pursed his lips. âEver since Tangtang got the marriage certificate, youâve changed. You donât cherish me now that you have me.â
Lin Gantang was startled, her phone almost slipping from her hand.
âNo, baby, I havenât,â she said quickly, letting go of the phone and sitting up.
âNow you donât even have the patience to blow-dry my hair,â Wen Yanqing moped.
Lin Gantang immediately picked up the hairdryer and turned it on.
Wen Yanqing tried to take it from her hand. âI can do it myself. I donât want to force you.â
âThe game is not as important as you. Iâll play later.â Lin Gantang held the hairdryer tightly and didnât let go, pressing the switch to start the warm air. Halfway through drying, her phoneâs screen lit up. Lin Gantang noticed but did not answer, and continued to blow-dry the rest of her hair.
The phone kept ringing tirelessly until Wen Yanqing took the call.
âGantang,â Yin Zhen called from the other end.
Under the sound of the hairdryer, Wen Yanqingâs voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for the caller to hear: âTangtang is busy; weâre in the middle of something.â
The words that were at the tip of Yin Zhenâs tongue got stuck. What kind of busy were they?
âI need to talk to Gantang,â she said, her face expressionless. âIâm not going to hang up just because you tell me to. If you donât pass her the phone, Iâm going to come over there and call her out right now.â
Wen Yanqing calmly extended the phone to Lin Gantang. âYin Zhen is looking for you. Stop what youâre doing and take the call, my dear. She seems quite anxious.â
The gentle urging in his voice was almost unbelievable as something that could come from Wen Yanqingâs mouth.
Lin Gantang turned off the hairdryer and, with one hand, felt Wen Yanqingâs fully dry hair while she brought the phone to her ear with the other. âZhenzhen, we just met this afternoon. Miss me already?â
Yin Zhen ignored her teasing and asked, âIn the video you mentioned earlier, you said a detective named Vitamin E helped you find something. Whatâs his contact information?â
âYou mean Xiao Wan? Iâll send you his number.â Lin Gantang casually asked, âDo you want to hire him for an investigation?â
âMy mumâs Ragdoll cat has gone missing, and I want him to help us find it.â
âIt got lost because someone wasnât watching it properly?â
Yin Zhenâs expression darkened as she spoke: âIt was my grandpa. Today, Little Ze tried to grab the catâs tail, and he wasnât gentle. The cat was in pain and scratched him, and my grandpa saw it and made Yin He throw the cat away.â Lin Gantang thought of that exceptionally quiet child and the biased old man.
âAfter my mum found out, she had a row with him. Everyone thought grandpa was right and questioned my mumâs motives, saying she indulged the cat in hurting people.â With anger towards them in her voice, Yin Zhen said, âTheyâre taking it out on my mum because they disapprove of her. Now that Iâm at the Yin familyâs place, I have to stand up for my mum no matter what!â
Lin Gantang hadnât expected such a thing: âIs Auntie Ying okay?â
âMy mumâs fine, but the cat is lost,â Yin Zhen sneered. âIâm going to find it not only for her, but Iâll also get my mum a dog, the kind that can bite.. If anyone dares to touch her again, Iâll have the dog rip them apart!â
