Chapter 497: How Dare You Hurt Her!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The news that the Gu and Shi families would unite in marriage spread far and wide in less than a day.

The details had yet to be confirmed, but that did not seem to matter.

Lin Gantang was a little surprised to learn of the engagement. After all, Shi Muzhen and Gu Zhichuan were not supposed to be involved at this time in her previous life.

She had chosen Wen Yanqing, so the people and things that happened after that had changed.

An engagement? She was willing to wish them a happy hundred-year marriage so long as they did not intrude on her relationship with Wen Yanqing.

When Lin Gantang left the bookstore to return to her father in the evening, she left after informing Wen Yanqing where she was going.

At home, Jiang Tongtong held Little Yi’an in the small garden, basking in the sun. The evening light was warm and gentle; even the little orange cat came out and lay comfortably on the ground with its belly up.

“Little Anan.” Lin Gantang went over to tease Little Yi’an and saw him grinning. She exclaimed in surprise, “He’s smiling! Ah, what a peerless cutie!”

Jiang Tongtong burst out laughing.

“Let me hug you.” Lin Gantang happily took the baby from Jiang Tongtong’s arms. “You’ve put on weight again! Hasn’t it only been a few days since I carried you? You’re growing so fast.”

Little Orange was also growing fast. The originally palm-sized cutie had grown a lot.

“Are you looking for your father?” Jiang Tongtong asked.

“I left my hair clip at home. I’ve come to collect it.” Lin Gantang gently poked the baby’s chubby little face as she spoke.

“You could have returned on another day for your hairpin,” Jiang Tongtong said with a knowing smile. “Did you have to make a trip home so soon?”

Lin Gantang stroked Little Yi’an’s soft and thick hair. She shook her head. “It’s different. Yanqing gave it to me.”

Jiang Tongtong covered her mouth and laughed.

Having enjoyed their little sunbathing session, they entered the house together. Shortly after, Auntie Ke took the child to the bathroom. They chatted for a while before Ling Gantang retreated to her room for her hair clip.

“Dad?” As she headed downstairs, Lin Gantang saw her father, who had just returned, and called out, “Dad?”

“Where’s Yanqing?” Mr. Lin looked over her shoulder.

Lin Gantang was speechless.

Forget it. She was used to her father’s antics.

She stepped into the living room and picked up her bag.

“Where are you going? It’s time to eat. You can leave after the meal,” Mr. Lin interrupted.

Her father could not bear to see her leave. Lin Gantang was delighted but did not forget to check, “Is Auntie Zhang cooking tonight?”

“Who else would be cooking? Am I supposed to cook dinner for you every day?” Mr. Lin grumbled good-naturedly. “Dream on! Do you think you can eat my cooking whenever you want to?”

Lin Gantang choked. She did not know what to say.

“Alright, I’ll have dinner before heading out,” she said as she sat down again.

“Yes,” Mr. Lin said, satisfied. “Then call Yanqing. How would I look if you got to eat but he didn’t?”

Lin Gantang was silent. ‘So this is your ultimate goal!’

Coincidentally, Wen Yanqing was free that night and said he would drop by after work.

Once she had completed her task, Lin Gantang thought of resting upstairs with Little Yi’an when her father stopped her.

Mr. Lin took out his phone and logged into the game. “Come, come. Let’s play a few rounds,” he said.

Lin Gantang glanced at his hands and was secretly shocked. With this smooth operational posture and this calm expression, could her father be a king of games?

Lin Gantang took out her phone in anticipation.

In the end, Lin Gantang, who had played two rounds, was speechless. ‘Yanqing, come quickly. I can’t play anymore!’

Finally, Wen Yanqing arrived. Lin Gantang put down her phone excitedly, leaving only Mr. Lin feeling regretful.

“Yanqing is here.” Mr. Lin looked up, discovering Wen Yanqing.

Wen Yanqing could read the mood and immediately sensed something off. He paused and picked up his presbyopic glasses to take another look.

“You…” The old man’s face darkened instantly. “Lin Gantang! How dare you bully me?!” he roared..
