The spring scenery in the city was not obvious. There were few flowers in bloom and greenery in the environment. Only the warm and bright sunshine after the spring rain and thunder strongly indicated the presence of spring.

Lin Gantang returned to the bookstore.

After the bookstore opened online book purchases, online marketing sales steadily increased. In addition to interacting with cats daily on the live broadcast, Lin Gantang would also recommend book series.

However, she could only recommend it after she had read it, so Lin Gantang read even more books.

Lin Gantang knew that she could leave these things to the store manager. She didn’t have to go to such lengths. However, she liked such quiet days. She guarded a shop with love, books, and cats. It was more to gain spiritual inspiration.

In the blink of an eye, it was evening again.

Gu Zhichuan had been rather busy recently. He had been trying to get the Gu Corporation back to its original position by using tough and violent methods. Other than being forced by the situation, he also wanted to prove that his ability was not inferior to Wen Yanqing’s.

He would also take this opportunity to reorganize the company.

Gu Zhichuan paced outside the bookstore for a while before stepping through the doorway.

Gu Zhichuan did not ask the shop assistant if Lin Gantang had come today. He walked around the first floor like he did the previous few times. He was a little disappointed when he did not see Lin Gantang. Then, he went upstairs holding a last bit of expectation.

He found Lin Gantang by the window. There were several books in front of her, and she was reading one quietly.

The scenery outside the window could not compare to her beautiful figure.

Gu Zhichuan sat far from her and did not disturb her, his eyes occasionally glancing over at her.

Lin Gantang did not notice him. The book’s contents were too novel. It was even more exciting than Bei Bei’s Tyrannical Marshal Fell in Love with Me. She was so engrossed in reading that she forgot that she was selecting a book for the live broadcast.

Until Qian Ruoxi came up to call her.

Gu Zhichuan saw that Lin Gantang had gone down to the first floor. He thought about it and decided to go down to inform her so that he wouldn’t have to wait any longer.

He chased her downstairs and bypassed the cat that was playing. Just as he was about to catch up to Lin Gantang, a person suddenly appeared beside him and blocked his path.

“Hey, what a coincidence.” Wen Yanqing smiled and interrupted his footsteps.

Gu Zhichuan heard his gentle voice and frowned reflexively.

What’s coincidental about this? He didn’t want to see Wen Yanqing at all. He didn’t understand why he kept bumping into him.

“Mr. Wen?” Gu Zhichuan looked at Lin Gantang’s receding figure and suppressed the anger flaring up in his heart. “Mr. Wen, is there something you need from me?”

Wen Yanqing smiled. “No, but why are you looking for my girlfriend?”

Gu Zhichuan reached into his pocket and took out a cigarette. He remembered that he couldn’t smoke in the bookstore and stuffed it back into his pocket. His tone was stiff. “Are you going to interfere with everything that happens to Lin Gantang? She’s a human being, not something that belongs to you.”

“Of course not.” Wen Yanqing spoke in a very good-natured manner. He pointed at a male customer a distance away and said meaningfully, “I don’t interfere with normal social interactions like this at all. Why do I target Mr. Gu? I think you should have some self-awareness.”

“Heh.” Gu Zhichuan chuckled. “Then you’re overthinking things this time. I was thinking of asking her to help me deliver a congratulatory gift. Although my Gu family is not blessed to be married with the Lin family, the Gu family still has to give her nephew’s one-month-old gift on account of our friendship.” Wen Yanqing’s gaze swept past the things in his hands. A congratulatory gift?

“I’m afraid that you have ulterior motives. If Mr. Gu is honest, do you dare to put the congratulatory gift in my hands?” Wen Yanqing chortled. “After all, I have the key to the Lin residence. I’ll help you make a trip to the Lin family’s house tonight. It’s not a bad idea.”

Wen Yanqing placed the plastic bag in his hand aside and reached out, his gaze provocative. “Can I have it?”

Gu Zhichuan glanced at the bag that had opened when he put it down, and the items inside arrogantly stared out at him.

It was condoms.

Gu Zhichuan gripped the congratulatory gift tightly..
