The three of them ate together. Lin Gantang asked Ye Qiuqiu where she was going to stay that night. Ye Qiuqiu said that she would find a hotel for the night since she was going back the next day.

“Are you leaving so soon?” Lin Gantang asked.

Ye Qiuqiu was quite helpless. “1 only have two days off. Besides, Haobo and I have quarreled, so I’m taking it that I went away to cool down. After I calm down, 1 have to go back and face it.”

“Then don’t stay in the hotel tonight. Stay at my house. Let’s talk.”

Ye Qiuqiu thought about it and agreed.

Ye Qiuqiu accompanied her until the bookstore closed. Wen Yanqing sent the two of them home.

Ye Qiuqiu got out of the car first. When she saw Lin Gantang waving at Wen Yanqing, she teased, “Just like that? Aren’t you going to kiss him goodbye?” “Why should I let you see it?” Lin Gantang looked at her.

Ye Qiuqiu laughed.

Mr. Lin had already retired for the night, so Lin Gantang brought her upstairs. The room where the kittens were kept had not been tidied up and was not appropriate for a guest to sleep in, so Lin Qingtang brought her to another room.

After showering, the two of them leaned against the headboard and talked.

Ye Qiuqiu stretched. “I’m so envious. It’s good to have money and a house.”

“You want to buy a house? Can 1 lend you some for your down payment?” Ye Qiuqiu had mentioned quarreling that day, and Lin Gantang remembered that Ye Qiuqiu was divorced in her previous life.

“Don’t. If 1 have to borrow money for the down payment. I’m afraid I won’t be able to afford the mortgage. You have to spend a lot on your bookstore at the moment. Don’t worry about me.”

“If you have any difficulties, remember to look for me.”

“I know you have good intentions, but let me tell you.” Ye Qiuqiu said happily and expectantly, “The higher-ups said that I did a good job. They privately revealed that they will promote me at the end of the year. Then, my salary will increase. Moreover, Haobo has also become a manager. Our days will definitely keep improving in the future.”

Ye Qiuqiu was full of expectations. Lin Gantang smiled faintly. “Congratulations.”

“I’ve been observing Wen Yanqing for the whole day.” Ye Qiuqiu turned the topic back to Lin Qingtang. “He’s really good to you. A CEO’s willing to be your shop assistant. And the way he looks at you… All, I’m going to die. He’s too doting. If my husband could be half as gentle as him, 1 would wake up laughing in my dreams.”

“You’re exaggerating.” Lin Gantang was amused.

“Tsk, I think you should have kicked Gu Zhichuan away a long time ago. Wouldn’t it be nice to be pampered by Wen Yanqing for a few more years? Fortunately, your eyes are not blind and you know your way back.”

Ye Qiuqiu glanced at her good friend, wondering if she had noticed.

Whether it was when Wen Yanqing quietly whispered intimately with Lin Gantang in the bookstore, declaring his sovereignty to the customers who were peeking at her, or when he casually let Lin Gantang drink the same tea he had drunk during dinner.

Wen Yanqing was like an extremely patient hunter, silently guiding Lin Gantang’s footsteps. Once she was used to his approach, he slowly invaded her world.

Ye Qiuqiu could almost foresee the moment Lin Gantang was caught.

Ye Qiuqiu giggled.

At noon the next day, Lin Gantang sent Ye Qiuqiu to the train station and then went to the bookstore.

The bookstore was not open for business. There was cat food and water in the automatic food dispenser. The cats were in good spirits after a night’s rest.

Lin Gantang sat on the ground and picked up the Ragdoll cat to examine it.

When Wen Yanqing came over, he saw her gently taking care of the cats.

Lin Gantang opened the door for him and sat back down. She groomed the Scottish Fold’s fur. “Aren’t you busy? Why are you here?”

“I want to see you.” Wen Yanqing sat behind Lin Gantang and hugged her gently.

Lin Gantang was too busy to care about him.

Her slightly curly long hair was tied up high, revealing her slender and fair swan-like neck.

Behind her, Wen Yanqing’s eyes darkened slightly. His strong feelings were surging and slowly eroding his restrained nerves.

He lowered his head and sniffed her delicate skin. He smelled the faint fragrance of flowers on her body. It was like a fatal temptation, clamoring to kiss and possess her..
