Chapter 894: 894 Alas, I'm so worried
After My Rebirth, I Escaped My Marriage
Now pregnant, Lin Gantang couldnât get angry or be slighted because, if you considered his current status in the family⦠oh, what status do I have?
Lin Zhaonan silently repeated to himself three times not to provoke, not to provoke, not to provoke, since Yanqing would be back in a couple of days.
Then he saw Lin Gantang in front of him, reaching into his pocket for something.
This kitchen, this scene⦠felt somewhat familiar.
Lin Zhaonan: âWhat, youâre going to show off your husbandâs black card in front of me again?â
Jiang Tongtong, who was caught kissing, had already fled the kitchen in embarrassment with her breakfast in hand. Lin Gantang didnât tease the two about their affection but pulled a receipt out of his pocket instead.
âDo I walk around the house with a black card? Am I out of my mind?â Lin Gantang expressed surprise at his odd assumptions.
Lin Zhaonan: â¦
Havenât you done this before?
Youâve said it all.
Lin Gantang handed him the receipt: âTrouble you, reimburse me.â
âWhat did you buy that you need me to reimburse for?â Lin Zhaonan looked down at the bill.
âDidnât buy much, just around a hundred lipsticks, I guess. I spent it to appease your wife,â Lin Gantang said with a face that read âwho else but youâ.
Lin Gantang handed over the receipt, her arms crossed in front of her chest: âBro, donât you get it? Itâs not easy to trickâ¦ah, to marry a good wife; you should cherish her. If youâre not jealous, family conflicts are bound to arise sooner or later.â
âAm I not jealous?â Lin Zhaonan countered: âI treat Tongtong quite well.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThen have you prepared the seasonal items for her wardrobe change?â
âI give money⦠â
âMoney?â Lin Gantangâs elegant eyebrows twisted in disapproval: âHow long has it been since you took her out after the baby was born? Have you cared for her during her special days? She doesnât have many friends in C City; have you spent time with her? When you were buying sports cars, didnât you think about getting her something?â
Lin Gantang scorned: âSo, youâre the only one with money, huh? My sister-in-law may not say it, but we women treasure these little details the most. If she doesnât mention it, can you pretend not to know?â
Lin Gantang was frustrated with his nonchalance: âHow can someone be so blunt in our family? Gosh, it worries me to death.â
Lin Zhaonan nearly passed out from the barrage of questions, his little sisterâs mouth could really give someone a headache when she lectured.
He rubbed his forehead and glanced at her: âIs that so, whoâs the blunt one? I remember someone who didnât even know how to date when they switched partners.â
Lin Gantang: â?? Is that the point?â And when was she ever blunt?
Lin Zhaonan was not annoyed by Lin Gantangâs teasing; in fact, he felt somewhat pleased at heart, because this showed that she and Tongtong got along well.
Lin Zhaonan didnât say it out loud but teased her back: âSo, is this how you train Yanqing at home? Tsk, my brother-in-law has it tough.â
Lin Gantang huffed: âYanqing is the most perfect man, he needs no training. Unlike you.â
âHuh, when you were little, who clung to my leg saying âbig brother is the bestâ? Now that youâre married, your heartâs with someone else.â Lin Zhaonan picked up the bill: âIâll reimburse the expense, but⦠arenât all lipsticks pretty much the same red? Why buy so many?â
Lin Gantang: Confirmed, a true straight man.
Lin Zhaonan transferred the money right away, and after he had done it he suddenly remembered, oh no, his private stash.
But it seemed Lin Gantang hadnât thought of that.
He looked at his sister, who was happily checking her phone to see if the money had arrived, and the corners of his mouth lifted.
Lin Gantang was right, his care for Tongtong indeed hadnât been as attentive as during their dating times since Yiâan was born. Tongtong was reserved by nature, and like Lin Gantang said, he should take the initiative to show more concern for her.
Sister had grown up, Lin Zhaonan thought sentimentally and reached out to vigorously ruffle her hair before leaving the kitchen.
Lin Gantang exploded in a second: âMy freshly combed braids!! Lin Zhaonan, Iâm gonna kill you!â
