Her plan included their future. Wen Yanqing’s initial uneasiness turned into relief.
Lin Gantang said she would be back soon and left with Blackie.
Mr. Lin was the first to notice when she returned to the Lin family. He craned his neck to look over her shoulder. When he did not see Wen Yanqing, he snorted in disappointment.
Lin Gantang felt that her father’s temper was like a child’s. “Dad, what are you snorting about? I haven’t done anything to annoy you now, have I?”
“You sequester yourself at home all day with him, yet you don’t even have the decency to bring him when you visit your dear old father. It’s unacceptable!” Mr. Lin turned away, walking with his hand behind his back.
“He didn’t want to come. Besides, didn’t you just see him recently?” Lin Gantang sighed in exasperation as she trailed behind her father.
“Oh? Are you referring to the day you plucked my purple roses?” Mr. Lin countered faintly.
Lin Gantang immediately shut up.
Judging from her guilty countenance, Mr. Lin was convinced that she had plucked his prized roses. He could not help but reflect on his fixation. Was he obsessed over his flowers because he lacked her current wealth?
Meanwhile, Sweet Wine was curled up in the cat bed, sleeping happily. Lin Gantang gently picked him up. Startled, Sweet Wine’s baby-blue eyes shot open, but he did not struggle upon noticing that Lin Gantang was carrying him.
Lin Gantang placed it next to Blackie and caught sight of Mr. Lin’s hesitant expression. She was puzzled. Her Dad had always said whatever he wanted to her, and he would scold her if she did something he disapproved of. When had he ever hesitated to make his opinion known?
“What are you troubled about, dear Daddy?” Lin Gantang asked.
“Dear Daddy?” Mr. Lin coughed in disgust. “Speak properly.”
Lin Gantang pursed her lips.
Her father was no gentleman.
“Have you heard about the matter?” Mr. Lin finally asked.
Mr. Lin was probably referring to Lin Jingqi, Lin Mingbai’s son. “What’s the matter?” Lin Gantang had not been paying much attention to the situation of those she knew.
Mr. Lin took two steps forward and sighed.
“?” What did it have to do with her?
Mr. Lin felt that raising a daughter was troublesome, unlike Lin Zhaonan, who could take a beating. Moreover, as a father, there were some things he was equipped to say, and others he lacked the qualifications.
Lin Gantang was different. She was a girl, and as her Dad, it was not convenient for him to teach her many things. A woman was best equipped to handle the affairs of women. He would not have had to deal with such a headache-inducing situation if his wife were around.
Still, Mr. Lin braced himself to ask what he must. “You’re not pregnant, are you?”
“?” “Dad, are you still harping about grandkids?” Lin Gantang was puzzled.
“No, your cousin got a girl pregnant and didn’t want the child, so he encouraged his girlfriend to have an abortion. I hope you won’t be like that child from the Gan family,” Mr. Lin said to Lin Gantang. “You should know where to draw the line. After all, it’s your health you’re gambling with.”
“Dad, you’re overthinking things. Besides, even if I were pregnant, Yanqing wouldn’t put me in the same position as Lin Jingqi put his girlfriend.” Lin Gantang felt her father was letting his imagination run wild.
Mr. Lin was a big man with rough hands and feet. He could not teach his daughter many delicate things, and he was worried. “I’m just afraid that you’ll do something rash.”
Lin Gantang glanced at her Dad. ‘Weren’t you the one to suggest that I pretend to be pregnant?’ she thought.
In any case, there was nothing to worry about now. She was not pregnant.
“Dad, I’m a good young woman with goals and ideals. I won’t do anything rash,” Lin Gantang promised.
Mr. Lin regarded her confidence with skepticism, feeling her words lacked weight.
“Dad, are you still thinking about Gan Wenyu?” Lin Gantang patted her chest and asked curiously.
“How did you know? They’ve been hiding their relationship from the family.”
“Only the parents, right? I’ve seen them at several parties. I even saw them at the hospital once.” Lin Gantang wondered if Lin Jingqi had already known that Gan Wenyu was pregnant then..
