Chapter 739: Chapter 739: Anyway, We’re Going to Have One
“I never expected you to be so ambitious.” Wen Rendong said coldly, “You want to enter my Wen family, using the bastard in your belly to pretend to be my son and inherit my fortune?”
Ge Shanci’s flirtatious gaze flickered as she insisted, “It is your child, if you don’t believe me I’ll go to the hospital to have the fetus’s DNA tested, if I’m lying may lightning strike me!”
Wen Rendong let out a cold laugh, “Fine, I’ll grant your wish.”
“Xiao Li.” He called his driver, “To prevent Miss Ge from playing tricks and fabricating results, take her to a private hospital owned by an old friend of mine, stay with her every step of the way, watch her every move, and the doctor conducting the test must not be someone she knows.”
Ge Shanci’s face clearly showed panic.
“Wen Rendong, are you really so heartless!”
“You only wanted to be with a man in his sixties for his money, so don’t talk to me about affection.”
Wen Rendong left Ge Shanci behind, “Tell the other servants, if they see her again, chase her away with a broom, don’t let her dirty the doorstep of the Wen family.”
He went back inside and asked the servants if Wen Yanqing and Lin Gantang were around.
The servant said the two were resting in their room, so Wen Rendong did not disturb them.
During breakfast the next day, Wen Rendong sat at the dining table reading the newspaper, waiting for the two to come downstairs before instructing Aunt Zhong to set out the breakfast.
“Uncle is back?” Lin Gantang, holding Wen Yanqing’s hand, took their seats.
“You should call me Dad now.” Wen Rendong chuckled, putting the newspaper aside and handing her a red envelope, “I should have given this to you on the day you registered your marriage, but I was busy and it got delayed. Take it now, there’s no need to wait until after the wedding. Once you’re registered, you’re my daughter-in-law.”
Lin Gantang caught the red envelope and beamed, “Thank you, Dad.”
“Ah, good, let’s have breakfast.” Hearing this ‘Dad’, Wen Rendong felt content.
For a long time, Wen Yanqing stubbornly waited for Lin Gantang, unwilling to settle for any other woman, and Wen Rendong thought his son would remain a bachelor for life.
But as he heard this ‘Dad’, Wen Rendong realized for the first time how sweet a daughter’s voice calling out ‘Dad’ could be—so gentle, nothing like his son’s.
Suddenly, he felt a bit envious of Lin Mingzhuo, who had both a son and a daughter.
“What has your dad been busy with lately?” Wen Rendong asked.
Lin Gantang replied with a smile, “Nothing much, he stays at home doing early education for Yi’an, drinking tea and chatting with neighbors, very relaxed.”
Wen Rendong thought of the Lin family’s little baby and took the opportunity to say, “You should have a child while you’re young, I…”
Before he could finish, the calm Wen Yanqing forcefully placed his bowl down, interrupting him.
Wen Rendong paused and then refrained from mentioning having children at the dining table.
He knew there was no way to persuade Wen Yanqing, so he quietly finished breakfast, waited for an opportunity, and when Wen Yanqing went back to his room to rest in the afternoon, he called Lin Gantang down, who was still editing videos.
“Dad, did you need me for something?”
“Is Yanqing asleep?”
“He took his medication and fell asleep.” Lin Gantang answered.
Wen Rendong nodded and tentatively began, “About what I wanted to say this morning…”
“You want me and Yanqing to have a child, I know.” Lin Gantang interjected, “Both Yanqing and I have thought about having kids, Dad, you don’t need to worry.”
Wen Rendong knew that if it was Lin Gantang, Wen Yanqing wouldn’t resist the idea of having children, but Wen Rendong’s concern was obviously not just about this.
“You’re already married, since you both want it why not do it sooner? You’re going to have kids anyway.” Wen Rendong was somewhat anxious; after all, Wen Yanqing’s illness hadn’t been cured, and he was worried about complications.
The sooner they could provide an heir for the Wen family, the better.
Lin Gantang didn’t plan to follow his wishes, “The doctor said it’s not appropriate for Yanqing to have children while he’s on his medication, so no matter how anxious you are, Dad, it’s no use..”
