Chapter 37
Act First and Report Later
Wen Yanqing sent Lin Gantang home.
On the second floor, Lin Zhaonan stood at the windowsill and could see Wen Yanqing’s car.
He and Jiang Tongtong had left early and returned quickly.
Jiang Tongtong noticed that he was looking downstairs and asked, “What are you looking at? Why have you been staring for so long?”
“Gantang is back,” Lin Zhaonan said.
Jiang Tongtong was sorting out the examination report and vaguely heard Auntie Zhang talking to Lin Gantang downstairs.
Lin Zhaonan didn’t come back from the windowsill. He held a cup of coffee and looked down, his brow slightly furrowed as he said, “Wen Yanqing’s gaze at Lin Gantang doesn’t seem quite right.”
Jiang Tongtong laughed when she heard that. “He likes Tangtang. You know that.”
Wen Yanqing’s gaze as he watched Lin Gantang was focused and affectionate, so intense that it almost suffocated people.
Lin Zhaonan took a sip of coffee. “He usually appears very calm, but now his gaze feels possessive.”
Jiang Tongtong didn’t think much of it. “You said it yourself, men have a hunting instinct. Wen Yanqing’s feelings for Tangtang should be even deeper than what you and I imagine.”
After the car downstairs left, Lin Zhaonan turned around and entered the room. “If you say you like someone but can’t have them, would you become depressed and develop some issues?”
“Are you suggesting that there’s something wrong with Wen Yanqing?” Jiang Tongtong didn’t believe it. “If there were a problem, he wouldn’t do anything on Tangtang’s wedding day.”
Lin Zhaonan thought about it and felt that it made sense.
He saw Jiang Tongtong neatly placing the report into a folder and said, “Tell Dad about your pregnancy. He should be very happy.”
In the morning, Jiang Tongtong received the pregnancy test kit from Lin Gantang. When she went upstairs, she secretly went to the toilet to take the test. The result showed two lines, one of which was a bit faint in color.
She checked online and found that morning urine would be more accurate. However, Jiang Tongtong didn’t want to wait until the next day, so she found an excuse to go to the hospital with Lin Zhaonan.
Jiang Tongtong felt a little nervous.
Lin Zhaonan held her hand and said, “We are already legally married, and Dad is not an unreasonable person. Besides, how long do you want to hide the fact that we are legally married? You’re doing great, no need to care about what others think.”
During dinner, Lin Zhaonan shared the good news with Lin Mingzhuo.
Mr. Lin was indeed very happy. He could not stop smiling.
“Since Jiang Tongtong was pregnant, both of you should go Civil Affairs Bureau to get your Household register.”
As a result, when Mr. Lin flipped through their household register, he discovered that Jiang Tongtong had long become a member of the Lin family.
Mr. Lin, who had been kept in the dark for so long was speechless.
Back in the living room, Mr. Lin slammed the household register on the coffee table.
Lin Gantang cut half of a watermelon and sat down to watch the scene.
Jiang Tongtong lowered her head, while Lin Zhaonan sat beside her with his back straight.
“You said you wanted to get married. How could I stop you? Sneaking around like this!” Mr. Lin scolded him.
Lin Zhaonan listened to the reprimand without daring to talk back.
Lin Gantang chuckled.
“Hurry up and hold the wedding.” Thinking that his son was the most reliable, but in the end, he did something like this. It wasn’t that bad, but it was quite infuriating. Mr. Lin was furious. “If I hadn’t gone to get the Household register, how long were you planning to hide it from me? You’re trying to anger me to death!”
“And, how did you know the safe’s password?” Mr. Lin asked he was still angry.
Lin Zhaonan honestly replied, “Mom told me a long time ago. Didn’t she tell you?”
Mr. Lin glared at him.
Lin Gantang chuckled.
Mr. Lin immediately shifted his gaze to her.
Lin Gantang fearlessly said, “She did tell me, but I was too young to remember. Don’t look at me.”
Lin Gantang suddenly felt a little regretful and wondered what treasures inside Lin Mingzhuo’s safe were.
