After My Rebirth, I Escaped My Marriage

After dinner.

The two of them were heading home. Mr. Lin was too lazy to send them off. There was no need to be reluctant to part at all; they would be back again in a few days. This was the benefit of having a boyfriend who stayed nearby.

In the future, he would not have to worry about the issue of her being married off and returning to her parents’ home.

Wen Yanqing brought the roses home and placed them in a vase in the living room. He tidied them up, his gentle gaze and upturned lips revealing his good mood.

He admired the bouquet for a while and felt that they were the most beautiful roses he had ever seen.

His heart softened.

The tabby cat jumped to the side of the vase and sniffed the petals. It wanted to use its claws to pick the green leaves on the branches. However, Wen Yanqing picked it up and placed it on the ground. “Don’t touch it. You’ll spoil it.”

“Meow…” Big Mi walked to the sofa and jumped up to Lin Gantang’s side.

“Will you accompany me to the business banquet tomorrow night?” Wen Yanqing asked Lin Gantang, who was peeling walnuts on the sofa.

“You need a female companion?” Lin Gantang pushed Big Mi away with her forearm.

“Yes, it’s mainly a business meeting. Maybe your brother will be there too.” Wen Yanqing sat down and took the walnut from her hand.

He squeezed hard, and the thin-skinned walnut easily split open.

He peeled the fruit and handed it to Lin Gantang.

“Alright!” Lin Gantang happily took it and put it into her mouth. “I’ll get ready tomorrow.”

Wen Yanqing continued to peel while Lin Gantang ate by his side. The programs on television made her laugh from time to time.

“Do you want to have some?” Seeing that he was simply peeling and not eating the walnuts, Lin Gantang picked up a piece and brought it to his mouth.

“No.” Wen Yanqing shook his head.

“Why not? It tastes good,” Lin Gantang said.

“I’d be on fire.” Wen Yanqing smiled.

“What are you afraid of? You don’t even say that you’re on fire when you eat chili.”

Wen Yanqing smiled and explained, “I’m saying that walnuts can enhance a man’s kidney function and yang qi; good for internal heat.”

Lin Gantang paused for a moment, then silently retracted her hand from his mouth and put the walnut into her mouth.

Big Mi had jumped to the other side of the coffee table at some point in time. It stuck out its head and quietly reached out its claws for the walnuts on the table. When Lin Gantang realized this, she quickly stretched out her hand to snatch it back. Not only did Big Mi not stop, but its claws were also very fast. With a bang, it had already pushed the walnuts to the ground. It bit on one and ran away quickly.

Lin Gantang was speechless.

Naughty child.

Lin Gantang accepted her fate and picked up the rest that had rolled to the ground.

“Are you done eating?” Wen Yanqing wiped his hands.

“I’m done.” Lin Gantang ate all the peeled walnuts and leaned back on the sofa contentedly.

“Alright.”

Wen Yanqing picked up the remote control and turned up the volume of the television.

“Why make it so loud?” Lin Gantang asked curiously.

“I’m afraid you’d be shy.”

Lin Gantang was baffled.

In the midst of her confusion, Wen Yanqing came over and pressed her down to kiss her.

Lin Gantang finally reacted and hurriedly pushed him away. “You, you… Didn’t you not eat? H-h-how…”

“What does it have to do with walnuts?” Wen Yanqing chuckled and unbuttoned her shirt with one hand.

Lin Gantang suddenly thought of the cocktail party tomorrow night. She gripped her collar tightly to stop him from kissing her. “I know. You want to make it hard for me to wear a beautiful dress again! No way!”

“No, I like it when you dress beautifully.”

Wen Yanqing whispered into her ear. His warm breath made Lin Gantang’s heart tremble. It tickled and was soft.

She shrank back and dodged, but Wen Yanqing did not give her a chance to do so.

He kissed her, took control, took possession of her.

Only the unbearable lingering sound of joy was drowned out by the sound of the television..
