After My Rebirth, I Escaped My Marriage

Yin Zhen suddenly felt that Lin Zhaonan was quite pitiful.

“By the way, I gave my brother and Yanqing cookies and cakes. They seemed to like them.” Lin Gantang suddenly remembered.

“I’ll get someone to buy them.” Yin Zhen thought it was a good idea.

“Zhen Cutie, I made them myself. Why would you buy them?”

Yin Zhen was speechless. So annoying.

“What’s going on? Are you with Lin Fan?” Lin Gantang prodded, hoping to hear something juicy.

“No, it’s his 20th birthday. Since we know each other… And, I mean, he’s an artist for my company… I just thought it would be nice to give him something,” Yin Zhen denied.

“Come now, you should be honest with yourself. You’ll do yourself no favors by treating Lin Fan like an ordinary friend, yet have your assistant pick out gifts for him. Besides, would you need my help if that were the case?” Lin Gantang could read the situation like an open book.

“What do you suggest, then?” Yin Zhen grumbled. “I’m hanging up if you won’t offer anything productive.”

Lin Gantang seethed, chuckling with ill-suppressed frustration. “It doesn’t matter what you give him. He’d appreciate it even if you gave him a two-dollar lighter. Do you know why?”

“Why?”

“Are you stupid or blind? It’s because he likes you!” Lin Gantang snapped.

“Wouldn’t that mean it would be better not to give him anything, lest he misunderstand?” Yin Zhen asked after a moment of silence.

“Is this what you’ve figured out after spending half a day in thought?” Lin Gantang rubbed her throbbing temples. “Forget it. Just think about what you’d give Fu Lin for his birthday. He’s male, an artiste, and an acquaintance, so he checks the same boxes as Lin Fan.”

Yin Zhen thought about it. “I understand. Thanks. I’ll hang up first.”

Lin Gantang was not sure what Yin Zhen realized. After all, she had not managed to give her any noteworthy ideas. Lin Gantang shook her head. Yin Zhen was obviously very concerned about Lin Fan’s matters but refused to admit it to herself.

Lin Gantang gulped half her glass of water and sat down. Shortly afterward, the meeting room’s doors opened.

Lin Gantang shot to her feet and hurried over. Several people held documents, chatting away, while others were packing and preparing to leave. Wen Yanqing sat at the head of the table in a conversation with Yi Qian.

“Miss Lin is here,” Yi Qian noticed her and informed Wen Yanqing.

The others who saw Lin Gantang pretended to look in her direction casually. They watched as she took Wen Yanqing’s hand and led him away.

“I heard that the CEO is seriously injured. Who said that? Look at the meeting just now and the way he moved. Does he look like he’s unable to see anyone anyone?”

“Hiss, it’s a rumor spread by someone with ill intentions, right? Didn’t he cause the stock price to fluctuate previously?”

“What do you think? Director Li and the others don’t even dare to attend today’s meeting. They must have something keeping them occupied.”

To some people’s disappointment, Shengfang was still operating normally. No matter how fragrant this piece of fatty meat was, they could not take a bite out of it as they wished.

Wen Yanqing returned to his office. After resting for a while, he prepared to go back.

“Don’t you have things you need to do?” Lin Gantang asked.

“The rest can be left to the department heads.”

Wen Yanqing walked to her side. He lowered his head and pursed his lips. “I haven’t gone out with you in a long time. Do you want to go out for a walk?”

His words were barely more than a whisper as if he feared she would reject him — just like when they first met. Caution was reflected in Wen Yanqing’s demeanor.

It was all because she had said she would leave last night.

“You didn’t rest well last night, did you?” Lin Gantang kissed him on his lips with heartache. “Let’s go home and go shopping tomorrow.”

Lin Gantang held his hand, eagerly pulling him along.

“Tangtang.”

Hearing him call her name, Lin Gantang turned around.

However, she saw him looking down. “Don’t be angry with me. I also want to see you put on a wedding dress for me. I want to see you at your most beautiful.”

He feared he would regret it for the rest of his life if he never got the chance to see it..
