After My Rebirth, I Escaped My Marriage

Meng Shuwan, true to her name, had an elegant and gentle scholarly aura, very pretty, and the more one looked, the more attractive she became. No wonder Gu’s parents liked her.

“My uncle lives nearby, I came out to buy some things for him,” Meng Shuwan was also sizing up Lin Gantang: “Miss Lin is even prettier than in the photos.”

“Thank you.”

“Are you feeling unwell?” Meng Shuwan looked at the bag in her hand, unable to see what was inside.

“No, just buying some medicine in case, thank you for your concern, Miss Meng,” Lin Gantang replied, then with a hint of apology, “Let’s sit down together sometime in the future, but I have to go back now as I have something to take care of.”

“No problem.” Meng Shuwan smiled and asked, “Your husband is waiting at home for you, right?”

Lin Gantang’s eyes curved into a smile: “Right, I’ve been out for a while and I’m worried he’ll miss me; Miss Meng, goodbye.”

Meng Shuwan waved to her.

As she watched Lin Gantang’s car drive away, what was on Meng Shuwan’s mind was the tenderness that had unintentionally spilled from Lin Gantang’s eyes when she mentioned her husband.

Meng Shuwan felt a bit more at ease.

She hadn’t seen Lin Gantang since she started dating Gu Hejun, and the reason she recognized her was from the photos of Lin Gantang that Gu Hejun had kept.

Women’s intuition is sensitive, and Meng Shuwan sensed that Gu Hejun must have had feelings for Lin Gantang at some point.

It was too common for someone to have liked another person or to have dated a few girlfriends. As long as Gu Hejun had no one else in his heart while he was with her, Meng Shuwan didn’t mind.

Now, judging from the unintentional look in Lin Gantang’s eyes, she was definitely very fond of her husband; and Gu Hejun, having brazenly introduced Lin Gantang to her after knowing that she’d found Lin Gantang’s photo, didn’t seem to be hung up on her.

The worries that Meng Shuwan once harbored were put to rest.

The encounter with Gu Hejun’s girlfriend seemed like a minor interlude, and Lin Gantang didn’t take it to heart.

Getting back to the villa, she immediately took the test, nervously waiting for the result.

The pregnancy test showed a single line.

Not pregnant.

Lin Gantang sighed in relief and threw it into the waste bin.

After washing her hands, she came out of the bathroom to find Wen Yanqing had already come in, holding a small plate of breakfast she liked: “Why the rush, did something happen?”

Having found out the result and feeling relieved, Lin Gantang didn’t hide it from him and said directly, “I went to buy a pregnancy test to check.”

Wen Yanqing’s hand holding the plate tightened.

“Fortunately, I’m not pregnant, I’m relieved, really relieved.”

Wen Yanqing pursed his lips, and after some hesitation, asked, “You… don’t want to have my child?”

“No, no, it’s just that the doctor said the medicine you’re taking might affect the fetus, and I’m worried about the health of the baby if I got pregnant,” Lin Gantang took the food from his hand and began to eat with peace of mind.

Her reasoning set Wen Yanqing’s mind at ease, and a smile returned to his face.

“I haven’t seen you take vitamin C these past few days, have you finished it?” Wen Yanqing mentioned.

Thinking of the so-called vitamin C, which was actually the prenatal folic acid she had taken in an attempt to sneakily get pregnant and coerce him, Lin Gantang almost choked. She swallowed hard, patting her chest, “No, I forgot to take it.”

Worried that Wen Yanqing would bring up the subject again, she quickly asked about his matters: “Did you take your medicine this morning?”

“Not yet,” he said.

Lin Gantang set aside the breakfast, fetched the medicine and some warm water, and said, “Here.”

Several pills were stuffed into Wen Yanqing’s palm.

He held them gently.

He wanted children, so the medicine had to be stopped. But what if stopping it affected the recovery of his eyes?

He looked toward Lin Gantang, wishing so much that he could see her face clearly again.

Wen Yanqing quietly swallowed the pills.

Just wait a bit longer; perhaps this time, fortune would be on his side.
