After My Rebirth, I Escaped My Marriage

“Zhichuan said you’re sick. When are you going to recover and move out? It’s not suitable for you to live in his house, right?” Mrs. Gu’s words sounded polite, but her expression didn’t hide her displeasure. Looking at her, she seemed quite repulsed.

Feng Yangyang bit her lip.

Mrs. Gu glanced at her fragile appearance and felt a sense of aversion. She had seen the girls Gu Zhichuan had been interested in before, and every girl was more impressive than the one right in front of her.

“I’ve already found a suitable future daughter-in-law. 1’11 arrange for her to meet Zhichuan in the next few days. Miss Feng, girls should have self-respect and dignity. I believe you understand what I mean,” Mrs. Gu said, her tone dripping with disdain.

Feng Yangyang forced a smile and replied, “Auntie, you’re mistaken. Brother Gu just felt sorry for me and let me stay here to recover. You’re thinking too much.”

“That’s for the best.” Mrs. Gu stood up proudly and left. “I hope you remember what I’ve said today.”

Once Mrs. Gu left, Feng Yangyang closed the door. She was filled with a sense of dissatisfaction, her lips were chapped from biting them, and she felt a surge of resentment.

The night had fallen.

After Lin Gantang and Wen Yanqing finished their meal, they got into the car and headed to the Ferris wheel.

Lin Gantang had never ridden it in her two lifetimes. Gu Zhichuan had mentioned that it was boring, and going with friends wouldn’t be as enjoyable. Thus, she was quite eager for the experience now.

Wen Yanqing was observing the two bags in her hands.

“I got something for my brother,” Lin Gantang said.

Lin Zhaonan was around the same size, so did Wen Yanqing use his measurements as a reference? Wen Yanqing made a sound of agreement, feeling a bit disappointed.

The journey was smooth. When they arrived at their destination, they parked the car in the underground parking lot and had to cross a road.

The two of them stood side by side in front of the red traffic light. When they moved, Wen Yanqing touched the back of her delicate hand.

Wen Yanqing lowered his eyes slightly, his heartbeat erratic. Slowly, tentatively, he wanted to hold her hand.

The red light turned green, and Lin Gantang stepped forward. She looked back at him. “Let’s go.”

Wen Yanqing clenched his fist and smiled. “Alright.”

The Ferris wheel was illuminated with blue lights at night, tracing a beautiful arc in the sky, overlooking the Yuanshui River.

Sitting inside the observation cabin, the Ferris wheel moved slowly, ascending.

At the highest point, Lin Gantang saw the long bridge lying across the Yuanshui River, the endless road resembling a dragon’s path on the earth, and the myriad of bright lights from countless households.

“It’s so beautiful.” Lin Gantang looked down and exclaimed.

Wen Yanqing was gazing at her, his eyes filled with tenderness deeper than the night itself. “Yes, it is.”

Inside the glass cabin, there were no kisses, no promises, but Wen Yanqing’s heart was softer than ever before.

“Can you see your house from here?” Lin Gantang turned and asked him.

Wen Yanqing pointed towards the east. “Over there. Would you like to go there?”

“Maybe next time. It’s late.”

Wen Yanqing dropped Lin Gantang off at her house and parked in front of the villa.

As Lin Gantang got out of the car, she remembered the clothes she had bought for him. She quickly handed him one of the bags. “This is for you. Let me know if it doesn’t fit.”

After saying that, she waved and happily walked into the house.

There was no one in the living room, so Lin Gantang headed straight to her room.

Seeing the latest Ferris wheel picture on Lin Gantang’s Moments, Ye Qiuqiu gave her a call.

“Hey, who are you on a date with?” Ye Qiuqiu teased over the phone.

Lying on the bed after placing the shopping bags down, Lin Gantang retorted, “Who else could it be? The tone you’re using now sounds like a witch from a story.”

“Get lost!” Ye Qiuqiu laughed and scolded her. “You two are progressing quickly. Did you kiss?”

“Hmm?” Lin Gantang responded innocently. “1 was just curious to try it out. The view from up there is quite nice.”

Ye Qiuqiu was left speechless..
