Chapter 371: Why Is Your Boyfriend Getting More and More Clingy?

Wen Yanqing dropped Lin Gantang off at the bookstore before returning to the company. Before Lin Gantang exited the car, he drew her back and kissed her.

Lin Gantang muttered to herself that her boyfriend was becoming increasingly clingy. She kissed him and waved goodbye.

The bookstore was not open yet. Some cats were playing on the cat tree, while others were lying comfortably in front of the French windows.

Ximi leaped to her side, rubbing her feet. Lin Gantang squatted down. She picked it up and stroked it.

All the other cats were in good spirits except Sweet Wine. Sweet Wine was a little too quiet, almost listless.

Lin Gantang put down the Ximi and picked up Sweet Wine to check on her. It turned out she was still experiencing diarrhea.

She cleaned up Sweet Wine’s fur, put her in the cat carrier, fed the other cats, and took it to the vet.

The vet diagnosed Sweet Wine with a bad case of indigestion due to a weak stomach, resulting in diarrhea.

Lin Gantang paid for the medicine the vet prescribed. By then, she was so tired that further action was too much for her. Hence, she decided to bring Sweet Wine home with her. That way, she could properly care for Sweet Wine.

She sent a message to Qian Ruoxi to explain Sweet Wine’s condition.

Taking Sweet Wine to the vet had been a long, tiring affair.

Meanwhile, Aunt Zhong was cleaning the house by the Yuanshui River.

The door to the master bedroom was closed, and she could not enter. Aunt Zhong knew Wen Yanqing’s habits and knew she did not need to clean that specific room.

She wiped down the coffee table till it shone. When she saw a beautiful hair clip on the coffee table and a handful of fruit candies on the fruit basket, she couldn’t help but smile, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes appeared.

She remembered that Mr. Wen didn’t eat candy, so it went without saying who he bought it for.

The door opened just as she was about to tidy up the fridge. Aunt Zhong started, noticing the source of the notice. It was Lin Gantang with a carrier in hand.

“Aunt Zhong,” said Lin Gantang, who had been to the Wen Family before and recognized her.

“Ah, Miss Lin. It’s you!”

Aunt Zhong did not know that Lin Gantang was staying with the Wen Family until she saw Lin Gantang easily open the door to the master bedroom and change into a dress before feeding Sweet Wine.

“Sir said that he would be back for lunch. Miss Lin, is there anything you want to eat? I’ll go and prepare it,” Aunt Zhong chuckled. She was very happy to see Lin Gantang.

Although Mr. Wen was her employer, he treated her well. Aunt Zhong had seen Wen Yanqing grapple with his love troubles, so she was happy for him now that his relationship was going well.

“I’d like steamed fish, then. Prepare whatever Yanqing likes for the rest. How has Uncle Wen been recently?” Lin Gantang asked. “I haven’t seen him in a while.”

Regardless of her current relationship with Yanqing, being polite and observing proper etiquette was still important. Lin Gantang recognized she did not possess the power to make certain decisions in the household despite being part of it for the time being.

“He’s well. I’m sure he would be most pleased to see you again,” Aunt Zhong said.

“If Yanqing intends to visit him, I shall tag along.” Lin Gantang smiled.

“Ms. Lin,” Aunt Zhong nodded in acknowledgment. “I’m taking out the trash. Is there anything you’d like me to throw out in the master bedroom?”

“Feel free to have a look,” Lin Gantang replied.

Aunt Zhong entered the master bedroom and saw a pile of used tissues in the basket. She paused and then glanced around the room. It was full of Lin Gantang’s things: cosmetics, cute hamsters, and what looked like half a wardrobe stocked with women’s clothing. It appeared the two of them were living together.

Aunt Zhong was delighted.

A few days ago, Wen Rendong was still worried about Wen Yanqing’s love life. Now, wasn’t everything fine?

Aunt Zhong returned to the Wen Family home after lunch.

She had been responsible for cleaning the house by the Yuanshui River for a few years. Whenever Wen Yanqing called her, she would go over. Otherwise, she normally lived in the Wen family’s servants’ quarters. Since Wen Yanqing had not instructed her not to perform her usual duties, she would do the work as was routine for her.

When Wen Rendong saw Aunt Zhong return, he asked her about Wen Yanqing’s recent situation and whether she had seen anyone else at his son’s place..
