Wen Yanqing parked his car not far from the Lin family's house. After leaving the bar, he subconsciously drove to this location. He got out of the car and looked up.
The night was very dark. The curtains of the room on the third floor were drawn and the lights were on.
On the way, Lin Gantang called twice, but he did not answer. Wen Yanqing wasn't sure if her response to his call last night was a joke.
He picked up and put down his phone several tis, hesitating to call her.
Wen Yanqing stood alone beside the car for a long ti.
Lin Zhaonan, who had returned from a night run, noticed the parked car by the roadside. He checked the license plate number and saw Wen Yanqing's figure. "Looking for Gantang?" Lin Zhaonan approached, sweat covering his forehead and back. "Do you want to go inside?"
"It's too late. I don't want to disturb you," Wen Yanqing replied, looking up as the lights on the third floor turned off.
"I haven't properly thanked you for saving Gantang this ti. If there's anything I can do to help you in the future, just let know," Lin Zhaonan said.
"It's what I should do. There's no need to be so polite." Wen Yanqing smiled and said, "I'll be leaving now."
Lin Zhaonan nodded and watched as Wen Yanqing's car left the villa area. Then, he glanced at the third floor before entering the house.
The next morning, Lin Gantang woke up early. Before even washing her face, she sent a ssage to Yin Zhen. "Sis, are you free?"
As expected, she received a reply, "Get lost!" Miss Yin's fortress had no blind spots and was hard to break through, just like before.
During breakfast, Mr. Lin ntioned, "I've prepared the gift for the Le Family. I'll send it over later. You seem to get along well with that kid from the Le Family?"
"Is that so?" Lin Gantang scooped her porridge. "We haven't spent much ti together."
Mr. Lin nodded in approval. "Le Yu is a good friend, but I don't think his personality would be a good match for you as a boyfriend."
"Then who do you think would be a good match?" Lin Gantang asked casually, but she didn't expect Mr. Lin to give a serious answer, "That Yanqing kid seems quite good. Why don't you like him?"
"Alright, noted," Lin Gantang said.
Mr. Lin thought his daughter was just brushing him off and shook his head helplessly.
"Last night, he was downstairs at our place. Did you know that?" Lin Zhaonan, who had been quietly having breakfast, suddenly asked.
Lin Gantang looked up in surprise.
"It's not good to drag things out in a relationship. You dealt with your feelings for Gu Zhichuan quite decisively, but I hope you can be just as decisive with Wen Yanqing." Lin Zhaonan analyzed rationally. "I'm not taking sides for him. I just want you to confront your feelings."
Lin Gantang was at a loss for words.
Did she have feelings for Wen Yanqing?
Of course, she did. She still rembered the feeling of being moved at Qinghe Manor.
If not, why did she give him a definitive answer without hesitation last night?
Thinking about Lin Zhaonan's words, Lin Gantang wanted to confirm sothing, so she waited until nightti.
On this hot sumr night, she hid behind a tree in advance and, as expected, she saw soone.
The car was parked in a quiet spot, and Wen Yanqing stood in an inconspicuous corner.
At such a close distance, he didn't dare to approach.
She had never paid attention to how lonely and desolate the quiet Wen Yanqing could be.
How many nights had Wen Yanqing quietly waited downstairs, wanting to see her but not saying a word? Lin Gantang's eyes beca teary, and her defenses crumbled.
She took out her phone and sent a picture to Wen Yanqing. "Do I look good?"
"You look good," Wen Yanqing replied, looking at the photo. His lips curved up slightly, and his gaze was as gentle as the night.
He was so easily satisfied.
"Shi Jun's words last night were a bit harsh. You... don't have to worry about it," he said.
Lin Gantang sensed the cautiousness in his words and replied, "I'm already worried."
She saw Wen Yanqing's smile fade, and his face turned pale in comparison.
He hesitated for a long ti with his fingers on the keyboard but didn't type anything.
Lin Gantang stepped out of the shadows and asked, "So, should we give it a try and be together?"
She saw the expression of disbelief on Wen Yanqing's face, followed by the sparkle in his eyes.
"I think you want to see ," Lin Gantang said.
Wen Yanqing looked up instinctively. He intended to look up at the building, but he saw Lin Gantang standing not far in front of him, her eyes glistening like mist as she smiled at him.
