After My Rebirth, I Escaped My Marriage

“Didn’t you tell him you’re not me?” Lin Gantang asked.

“At first, I didn’t get the chance to say anything, and just when I was about to tell him, he suddenly went on the offensive, so I… replied a few times, which is why I still haven’t deleted him.”

Lin Gantang: So you decided to play along with him first?

“I even thought you didn’t give Mr. Wen’s phone number to him because you had some feelings for him, sheesh, that scared me,” Le Yu said.

Lin Gantang was speechless for a moment: “My husband’s number isn’t something I can just give out randomly, is it? Otherwise, how many people would harass him? If it weren’t for the trust I have in you as my friend, I wouldn’t have given it to you either.”

Looking back, Le Yu realized that his life had changed from that of a carefree rich second-generation to a penniless worker, and it seemed to have started with Wen Yanqing’s phone number.

From idly squandering his days to busily working a nine-to-five, Le Yu didn’t know whether to be happy or feel sorry for himself.

“A good friend’s advice: if you bump into someone with the surname Shang again, ignore him. Everyone in C City knows that you and Mr. Wen are registered; yet, he’s still pressing in. What do you think that’s about?”

Le Yu guessed that Mr. Shang dared to do this because he probably saw Wen Yanqing’s current blindness as an opportunity.

Lin Gantang sighed, “Ah, it’s all because of my damned charm.”

Le Yu: “…”, Enough, good night, that’s really enough for today.

After putting down her phone, Lin Gantang tried to recall this person, Shang You, but couldn’t conjure any specific memories.

She turned over, wanting to chat with Wen Yanqing, but found that in just a short while he had fallen asleep.

Wen Yanqing had been sleeping as soon as his head hit the pillow these past few days, enjoying particularly good sleep quality, so Lin Gantang didn’t dare to wake him and covered him gently with the blanket.

Seeing that it was about time, she tiptoed out to the balcony, looking at the distant Ferris wheel that had turned off its lights, and made a phone call.

Before she could speak, her father’s exasperated voice came through, “I give up, I give up! Don’t call anymore, if I play games after dark again, I’ll twist my head off and use it as a stool for you!”

“Dad, so violent, you’re going to scare your precious daughter to death.”

“Bullshit! If you call me one more time, I’ll come over and wring your neck!”

“Fine then, Wen Yanqing will stand up for me if you try to beat me. Let’s see if you can bring yourself to do it.” Lin Gantang laughed, feeling untouchable.

That really got Mr. Lin worked up.

“Are you really not going to stay up all night playing games?” Lin Gantang asked.

“No more games! Screw that!”

Lin Gantang joked, “Oh, dad, please mind how you speak. What if Xiao An picks up your bad language?”

Right now, Mr. Lin felt like grabbing a feather duster and spanking this headache-inducing pest.

“Why are you meddling with me all day? Go find something to do if you’re so bored, or at the very least have a kid and keep yourself busy. I mean, really, every single day!” Always getting on my case, Mr. Lin felt helpless and frustrated.

“You’re my dad, if I don’t look after you, who will? And I’m not stopping you from playing games; I just want you to rest early and not stay up late,” Lin Gantang said, leaning on the railing, looking out at the lights of thousands of homes, smiling. “As for having kids? Isn’t one Yi’an enough for you to take care of?”

Finally getting her dad off her back, Lin Gantang hung up the phone, pleased, and went back to her room.

She had just lain down when she remembered her dad mentioning having kids, and felt like she had forgotten something, but couldn’t quite think of what it was at that moment.

It wasn’t until the lights went out and she was about to drift off that Lin Gantang suddenly remembered that her period was two days late this month.

She sat up abruptly, her heart suddenly tightening.

Could it be…?

They had taken precautions, and importantly, the doctor said it wasn’t suitable to conceive a child while she was on medication.

Lin Gantang felt uneasy.
