Chapter 905: Chapter 905: This is a Man-Eating Lotus
The bookstore’s book sales soared dramatically, and Qian Ruoxi and her team were nearly overwhelmed. A few kitties were not enough to satisfy the customers’ desire to pet them.
The one attracting the most attention was still Ximi. Everyone said it was so ugly, but they insisted on coming to see just how ugly it was. Upon arrival, they found it was indeed as ugly as expected, not letting them down. Despite their preference for beautiful cats, they found its ugliness charmingly distinctive and became somewhat obsessed.
It didn’t take long after Lin Gantang entered the store for someone to recognize her. She struggled to handle the enthusiasm of the customers and didn’t like exposing herself to the cameras of one phone after another, so she advised Qian Ruoxi and the others to be aware of safety hazards due to the crowd, and then she left shortly after.
She couldn’t stay for long, after all, since there were too many people, and she was pregnant, afraid of any mishaps.
After this experience, Lin Gantang didn’t visit the bookstore for several days. She inquired about the bookstore’s situation over the phone with Qian Ruoxi, and once the audience’s enthusiasm cooled off, they would be able to resume normal operations.
Lin Gantang didn’t particularly care about the bookstore’s sudden surge in popularity, as stores that exploded in popularity overnight and quickly faded away were commonplace on the internet.
Now completely free from other concerns, Lin Gantang decided to focus on preparing for her wedding.
The wedding gown was finished, and the design team brought it over for her to try on. Wen Yanqing was busy at work and hadn’t come back. Lin Gantang stood in front of a full-length mirror, showing off the skirt of the gown.
“Mrs. Wen, the design chosen by your husband suits you perfectly,” the designer said, her eyes shining with admiration. “Do you need me to take a photo for Mr. Wen to see?”
Lin Gantang smiled gently and shook her head, “Let’s wait until the wedding day.”
After they left, Lin Gantang saw it was time for her lunch break, so she contacted Wen Yanqing and said, “Dad asked me this morning if we wanted to have dinner together at Jinshan tonight?”
The last time she saw Wen Rendong was at the Lin family’s place, and Wen Yanqing hadn’t been back to the Wen household since his business trip.
“Does he miss you?” Lin Gantang asked.
By this time, Wen Yanqing had completed his morning’s work and replied attentively, “He’s not like your dad. You don’t need to speculate about him with too much warmth and kindness.”
Now that Lin Gantang was his wife and their relationship was growing closer, they could openly discuss things that she used to feel should not be inquired into.
So she asked, “Don’t you plan to forgive your father?”
Without hesitation, Wen Yanqing said, “Let’s wait and see after our child is born.”
After understanding his attitude, Lin Gantang didn’t ask further, “Alright, I’ll definitely stand by your side no matter what.”
Wen Yanqing’s expression softened, “Alright, we won’t go to Jinshan. You’ve not been feeling well. I’ll cook for you at home.”
After finishing speaking, Wen Yanqing stacked the approved documents on his desk, and just then, the information from the private detective lit up:
[Feng Yangyang recently started working at the Gu Corporation, no other unusual activities detected.]
After reading it, Wen Yanqing deleted the message without a change in his expression.
It was a coincidence. Right after he received the message about Feng Yangyang, Wen Yanqing saw her today.
Wen Yanqing’s car hadn’t left the central business district when he stopped at a traffic signal. A group of people emerged from the building on his right.
Gu Zhichuan, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time, walked in front, and Wen Yanqing’s gaze skimmed past him, recognizing the woman in the white business suit behind him as Feng Yangyang.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
The woman, who appeared pure and innocent in the dossier, Gu Zhichuan probably had no idea that she was a carnivorous plant.
It was a pity, though, there was still just a bit of evidence missing.
Wen Yanqing averted his gaze, quietly waiting for an opportunity.
As his car slowly moved forward, under the mild breeze and scorching sun, Feng Yangyang had no idea that she was being closely watched.
