Chapter 723: Chapter 723: Missing Your Child, Sorting Out Deliveries Tonight
Lin Gantang noticed Wen Yanqing had become quiet for a while, then chuckled softly in a low, muffled voice.
He chuckled? Why would he laugh, Lin Gantang thought this was not a normal reaction.
“Why are you laughing?” Lin Gantang didn’t understand and then acted petulantly, “I don’t care, you agreed, it’s all in the past now. Let’s not bring up each other’s faults.”
Wen Yanqing let out a laugh-sigh, “You… ”
Seeing no signs of disappointment or anger on his face, Lin Gantang thought to herself, could her man’s temper be any better?
He can still laugh even after being tricked into marriage.
“But the matter with the child is easy to solve.” Lin Gantang began to pry his arms away, trying to escape his hold, “Lacking one child, I’ll match you up tonight, a slight difference in delivery time won’t be a problem for you, right?”
Wen Yanqing tightened his grip on her as she tried to wriggle free, “It’s alright, if it hasn’t happened, it hasn’t happened. I’m not disappointed. Let’s let nature take its course. But don’t ever talk about losing it again; that would drive me insane.”
Lin Gantang discerned his true meaning, “You’re willing to have children?”
“If you want them, we’ll have them.” He lowered his head and kissed her forehead, “But I don’t know if the medicine I’m currently taking will have any effect. Better ask the doctor first.”
Seeing how cautious he was, Lin Gantang knew he was serious and couldn’t help but smile brightly.
“Let’s sleep for now. Should we ask the doctor when we go for the follow-up?” Wen Yanqing asked.
Lin Gantang made an affirmative sound, her tone light and cheerful.
It didn’t take long for Lin Gantang to fall asleep.
Wen Yanqing had taken a nap in the afternoon and felt quite refreshed. Before, the space beside him had been empty, but now that she was back, it felt like his heart was suddenly filled.
He slowly got up, took the ring, and gently slipped it back onto her finger.
She thought he cared about having a child, that it was the child that made him drop his last defenses and agree to register. But that wasn’t the case. He sensed from her words a complete farewell, and his world collapsed.
Even now, knowing she had told a lie, he could no longer deceive himself.
It was she who said he could be a little more selfish.
If you are not afraid of my imperfections, not afraid of my selfish possession, then stay.
If you give the opportunity and don’t leave, then truly, you’re free to look at other men only once I’m in the ground.
He held her hand and kissed the hand that now bore the ring again.
That night, Lin Gantang slept very peacefully. When dawn was breaking, she woke up, annoyed that she had slept so deeply; she hadn’t noticed how Wen Yanqing had slept.
Worried that he was in pain and struggled to sleep.
But at this moment, he slept quite well, his brow relaxed. Lin Gantang, not wishing to disturb him, closed her eyes and fell back asleep.
Later, Lin Gantang was awakened by the continuous vibration of her phone. When she checked, it was Bei Bei bombarding her WeChat.
She clicked open—
“Gantang, why did you suddenly go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register with Gu Zhichuan?”
Lin Gantang, just woken up, had a dazed expression. What the hell?
“You broke up with Yanqing? When did this happen?”
Lin Gantang remained completely baffled.
“You and Gu Zhichuan got back together, and in the end, you chose him?”
Lin Gantang rubbed her eyes, turned to look beside her. It was Wen Yanqing, no mistake. Wasn’t her husband right there, asleep next to her? When had she registered with Gu Zhichuan?
“Where did you hear this news?” Lin Gantang asked Bei Bei.
Bei Bei replied, “Someone took pictures of you going to the Civil Affairs Bureau with Gu Zhichuan. It sounded very convincing, and now everyone is spreading it. They’re curious about the three of you.”
“When did this happen?”
“Last night, didn’t you see?” Bei Bei asked.
“As a married woman, my night life is too busy. How could I have time to see what others are saying?” Lin Gantang said.
Bei Bei’s hand, poised to send screenshots, stopped and she asked, “So Yanqing is right by your side now?”
“Is that strange?”
