After My Rebirth, I Escaped My Marriage

Chapter 692: Chapter 692: Hasn’t He Told You Yet?

Yi Qian saw her deep in thought and prepared to quickly make his escape before he got asked any more questions, which could lead to talking too much and giving himself away.

He held the documents and said, “The CEO has just finalized a few plans, and I need to get back to the company. It’s quite urgent, so I won’t take up any more of Miss Lin’s time.”

Urgent matters? Lin Gantang couldn’t very well stop him, so she let him go.

But she couldn’t help wondering if it was just her imagination that Special Assistant Yi seemed to run off particularly fast.

So urgent? No wonder Wen Yanqing said first thing in the morning that he was waiting for him; it seems the company’s work is indeed pressing.

Lin Gantang withdrew her gaze and pieced together the events before and after.

After finishing his tasks, Wen Yanqing was on the terrace with Big Mi, taking in the breeze to relax, and then they had lunch and took a walk together—everything appeared to be no different from usual.

Lin Gantang wondered if she was overthinking it.

“Do you want to make plans with friends to go out?” asked Wen Yanqing as he petted the tabby cat, “Having a few more friends wouldn’t be a bad idea, right? It must get boring always hanging out with me.”

“Aren’t my fair-weather friends enough already?” Lin Gantang replied, “Didn’t I used to play wild enough? I nearly gave my dad high blood pressure with my antics. Now I’m cultivating my character and temperament, don’t you tempt me.”

Wen Yanqing pursed his lips. “I’m not tempting you. Last time I went back, your uncle missed you a lot. Why don’t you go stay there for a few days?”

“Are you coming with me?” Lin Gantang looked up.

“I might not be very convenient to go, with my condition. Going there would just cause trouble for your uncle.”

“If you don’t go, I won’t go,” Lin Gantang said without hesitation.

Wen Yanqing lowered his gaze. “I’m just afraid you won’t feel comfortable staying at the Wen family’s place.”

Lin Gantang observed him for a long moment, then asked with furrowed brows, “Why are you always telling me to go out? Do you want me to leave?”

Wen Yanqing’s lips moved slightly, then he forced a smile. “No, Tangtang, you’re overthinking it.”

Good, Lin Gantang hummed lightly and said, “The only thing the cat has left is the Vitamin E and the new vaccine. Let’s go get it done today; you should come out with me.”

“Why not let the servants take it instead?” Wen Yanqing asked.

“Didn’t you always tell me to go out for a walk? If you’re cooped up in the house every day, isn’t that more boring?” Lin Gantang said. “I’m willing to go out now, and yet you don’t want to come with me?”

She knew Wen Yanqing’s concerns. “There’s nothing inconvenient about it. I’ll hold your hand tight, I won’t lose you.”

Lin Gantang put Vitamin E in the cat carrier and asked the driver to take them to the pet hospital.

On the way, Vitamin E nestled into the soft padding of the cage, his body still but meowing from time to time, Lin Gantang didn’t know what he was saying. The cat seemed to be quite happy talking by himself.

At the pet hospital.

Lin Gantang hadn’t expected to run into Gu Zhichuan here.

He was at the counter, letting the vet assistant take out deworming medication, and the cat in the cage next to him, likely his, was spinning around inside.

Lin Gantang remembered the incident when Gu Zhichuan had upset her boyfriend and decided not to heed him.

However, as soon Gu Zhichuan turned his head and noticed the two of them, his eyes swept over Lin Gantang and Wen Yanqing’s faces, and their entwined hands, his gaze dimmed slightly.

Still so close.

“You haven’t told her yet?” Gu Zhichuan asked with his hands in his pockets, looking straight at Wen Yanqing.

Wen Yanqing tightened his grip on Lin Gantang’s hand.

Lin Gantang’s gaze circled around the two men. “Haven’t told me what?”

“He…” Gu Zhichuan began.

“Gu Zhichuan!”

Interrupted, Gu Zhichuan turned to look at Wen Yanqing, his expression the usual cold. “Afraid I will tell?”

“Miss Lin, please bring your cat over,” Dr. Xia said at that moment.

Lin Gantang took Wen Yanqing with her, but noticing he didn’t move, she looked back at him.

‘You take Vitamin E over there, I’ve got something to say to Mr. Gu..’
