Wen residence.

The wind blew and the rain fell. The pitter-patter of the rain grew louder. Occasionally, thunder rumbled.

“Is Tangtang not back yet?” Wen Yanqing asked.

“Not yet. Maybe she’s staying at her house? After all, the rain is quite heavy tonight.” Aunt Zhong went forward and closed the window. “Why don’t you have a rest first? It’s not good for your health to be standing here in the wind.”

The tightly shut windows kept out the wind and rain, and the sound of the rain became softer.

Wen Yanqing looked out of the window and saw a sudden flash of lightning. He saw a twisted silver thread of light shooting straight to the ground.

The intense light disappeared, and all that was left in his eyes was the dim and blurry light outside, and more darkness.

“She didn’t call. She’ll definitely come back. I’ll pick her up at the door.”

“Tsk, Sir. If you get caught in the rain at the door, Miss Lin will be heartbroken when she comes back and sees you,” Aunt Zhong advised him.

Would her heart ache? How good was that? She would only feel sorry for him if she cared about him. In the past, when he fell sick in the rain, she did not even take care of him once. Now if he was drenched in the rain, she would be so nervous that she would pull him in.

Wen Yanqing placed his hand on the window. The glass window was cold, but his heart felt warm.

Wen Yanqing wanted her to feel bad for him, but he could not bear to make her heart ache for him. He didn’t go out and waited for her at home with the lights on.

“Sir, if you miss Miss Lin, why don’t you give her a call and ask where she is?” Aunt Zhong said.

Thunder boomed in the sky. Wen Yanqing moved away from the window and said, “I won’t call. The road is slippery on rainy days. I won’t rush her.”

When she arrived at the Wen residence, the car parked in front of the building. The servant immediately went forward with an open umbrella upon seeing the car door open.

Lin Gantang thanked the servant.

When she returned to the house, her clothes were not wet, though her bare arms had been splashed with some rain. The servant handed her a dry handkerchief, and Lin Gantang took it, wiping her arms.

Then, she went upstairs.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Wen Yanqing standing by the window and turning his head in the direction of the sound.

“Yanqing.”

Lin Gantang went forward to pull him back. Naturally, she noticed that his arm under his short-sleeved shirt was covered in goosebumps.

“What’s going on?” Lin Gantang rubbed his arm.

“Thunder.”

His brows were furrowed and his nerves were tense.

As soon as he finished speaking, thunder suddenly clapped. The roaring thunder seemed to have fallen outside the building. The rumble was ear-splitting, as if it wanted to shatter the world.

“Oh my god!” Lin Gantang was so shocked by the sudden loud thunder that she jumped in fright. Without thinking, she threw herself into Wen Yanqing’s arms.

It was so scary.

Why was the thunder so deafening?

Lin Gantang hugged Wen Yanqing tightly. She was even more cowardly than the person in front of her who was afraid of thunder.

Wen Yanqing patted her back comfortingly and chuckled. “Why are you more scared than me?”

“It was too loud, all of a sudden.” After the thunder died down, Lin Gantang came out from his arms. She patted her chest and pulled him to the bed. “Sit down for a while. I’ll take a shower and change my clothes before accompanying you.”

She saw Big Mi strolling over. She scooped it up and placed it in Wen Yanqing’s arms. “Help me accompany your father.”

Ximi, who came in later, wanted to follow her into the bathroom, but was locked outside by Lin Gantang.

Lin Gantang took a quick shower. When she came out, Ximi was obediently squatting at the bathroom door with its paws together. It meowed when it saw Lin Gantang come out.

It was time to rest. Remembering Yanqing’s habit, Lin Gantang mercilessly shut the two cats outside the door.

After an exhausting day, she pulled Wen Yanqing to her side and collapsed onto the bed. “Did you sleep during the day?”

“I slept for two hours.” Wen Yanqing’s nose was filled with the fragrance of her after bathing. He could not help but sniff her neck and shoulders lightly, his hand caressing her smooth and round shoulders..
