Chapter 855: Chapter 855 Two for One, You Win
Wen Yanqing said, “Alright, after Feng Yangyang returns, you continue to watch her every move for me. If there’s anything unusual, inform me immediately.”
After hanging up the phone, Wen Yanqing stood alone on the balcony, staring at the distant lights, his eyes deep and somber.
The soft and fluffy sensation at his feet made Wen Yanqing look down and pick up Big Mi, who was affectionately rubbing against him, and return to the room.
The next day.
Secretary Pei knocked and entered the office, bringing the wedding invitation to Gu Zhichuan.
“An invitation?” Gu Zhichuan took it.
“Yes, it’s the wedding invitation of Mr. Wen Yanqing and Miss Lin Gantang,” said Secretary Pei.
Just as Gu Zhichuan was about to open the invitation, he stopped abruptly.
He placed it on the desk, his expression austere. “I see. Is there anything else?”
With nothing else, Secretary Pei left first.
Gu Zhichuan resumed working, but his attention kept being drawn to the festive red invitation on the desk, and he eventually picked it up and opened it.
The groom, Wen Yanqing.
The bride, Lin Gantang.
Gu Zhichuan stared at the pair of names on it, feeling as if a fishbone was stuck in his throat.
He clenched the invitation tightly, his fingertips turning white.
He remembered what she had said in the live broadcast yesterday:
“I am very happy, now and in the future.”
Only the past was left out.
Was it because of him that she wasn’t happy?
Gu Zhichuan’s expression turned glum.
He placed the invitation back on the desk and opened the video follow list on his phone. Cat Bookstore wasn’t live-streaming.
Feeling a surge of longing, Gu Zhichuan checked the time and stood up to leave.
In the bookstore, Mr. Lin came in carrying a cat cage and went straight to Lin Gantang.
“Dad?” Lin Gantang’s attention was captured by the cat in the cage: “Where did this cat come from?”
“From the rescue center,” Mr. Lin said. “You were busy, so I went to pick a couple for you.”
He passed the cage to her. “Both are Ragdolls with good temperaments. The staff at the rescue center said they’re old and, though good-looking, have never been adopted.”
The two cats in the cage looked very similar, lying quietly.
“How old are they?”
“Ten years old. They’re littermates, inseparable, and they get anxious if they’re separated,” Mr. Lin explained. “Old cats are not very popular for adoption, and since these two must be adopted together, increasing the expense, many people have given up.”
Lin Gantang took the cage. “Have they been checked?”
“Seen by a veterinarian, no issues. Dad has taken care of everything for you. Just keep them quarantined in the shop for a while,” said Mr. Lin
Seeing that she wasn’t displeased, Mr. Lin took it as a sign of her liking it. “Since you like them, from now on, you’re not allowed to even think about trading Sweet Wine, got it? One for two, you’re making a profit,” he teased.
Lin Gantang couldn’t help but laugh.
No wonder her father had the patience to pick cats for her. It turned out he had the intention of trading them.
It seemed that her father truly had a special fondness for Sweet Wine.
“Dad, I’m letting you keep Sweet Wine. I won’t go back on my word, so don’t worry,” Lin Gantang reassured him.
Mr. Lin scoffed, “When am I worried? I just see that your shop is empty with only three cats, yet it calls itself Cat Bookstore. Having so few cats is like deceiving the customers, you know?”
“Right, right, right, Dad, you make a good point,” Lin Gantang agreed, seeing through his stubborn nature to never admit that.
“Alright, I’ve given you the cats. I’m going home to do early education with Yi’an,” said Mr. Lin as he walked out, leaving Lin Gantang to take care of the two Ragdolls.
When Gu Zhichuan arrived, he saw Mr. Lin get into his car and leave from afar. He scanned the first floor but didn’t see Lin Gantang, so he went up to the second floor.
Unconsciously seeking her figure, he saw her squatting in front of the two cats and instinctively stepped towards her direction, but then, on the next step, he abruptly came back to reality.
What was he doing? What use would it be if he went over there?
Gu Zhichuan was clear in his heart that Lin Gantang didn’t look favorably upon him. After several struggles, he forcibly retracted his steps.
