Their gazes made Lin Gantang feel immense pressure. How should she bring this up?

Did she say she was moving out because she feared her father’s dark cuisine?

Or should she say something similar to a daughter moving away to live with a man because she was all grown up?

But if she said that, wouldn’t she break the heart of her old man?

“That’s right… Yanqing and I…” Lin Gantang stammered.

“What’s going on between the two of you?” Mr. Lin demanded anxiously. “Are you pregnant? Or did you follow in your brother’s footsteps, secretly marrying and applying to the household registrar to recognize your civil marriage?”

Wen Yanqing: “Secretly registering? So this is how Lin Zhaonan operates!” It seemed he would have to take notes…

Lin Gantang: “Of course not! I didn’t think you were so accepting, that’s all.”

Relief washed over Lin Gantang. “I’ll be staying with Yanqing for a while; it’s much closer to the bookstore, so it’ll be more convenient for me to go to work.”

He wouldn’t be sad to hear that, would he? Would he overthink things? After all, he had raised her for more than twenty years.

“Alright, but remember to come home for dinner on Saturdays and Sundays. By the way, have you already gotten your marriage house, or do you plan to continue living at his place even after marriage?”

Ah… What had she been worried about?

It seemed she had been the one to overthink things, worrying that she would break his heart.

To think her father was already talking about marriage when all they had planned was mere cohabitation. Lin Gantang suddenly felt exhausted.

“That’ll depend on Tangtang.” Wen Yanqing smiled brightly. Things were progressing surprisingly smoothly.

“The food is getting cold… Where is your brother?” Mr. Lin muttered.

“I’ll call him.” Lin Gantang whipped out her phone. “I’ll get him to hurry up. How can he miss the food you’ve so painstakingly prepared?”

Lin Gantang sent a message to Lin Zhaonan: [ Remember to come home for dinner. Today’s dinner is fantastic. Even Yanqing says they’re good. I doubt Michelin-star restaurants can compare. ]

“Don’t tell him you cooked the dried fish.”

“Why?”

“Let’s give him a surprise. Life should be marked with a few surprises now and then; I’m sure your efforts will touch him, Dad,” Lin Gantang said with a straight face.

“Alright, we’ll save more for him,” Mr. Lin agreed.

After dinner, Lin Gantang left the dining room happily and went upstairs to carry Xiao Bao down.

Xiao Bao was awake when she found him. He was staring at the chandelier. The tabby cat waltzed over and eyed the little guy from left to right.

“Let me pack some clothes.” Ling Gantang handed Xiao Bao over to Wen Yanqing, having played enough.

“There’s no need; I’ve already prepared everything. You can leave the rest at home here.” Wen Yanqing hugged Xiao Bao.

Lin Gantang cocked an eye, mainly because Wen Yanqing liked her to wear the clothes he bought for her at least twice before getting her anything new.

It was not long before Xiao Bao kicked up a fuss in Wen Yanqing’s arms. He kicked and shook, fidgeting to show his discomfort. Wen Yanqing noticed and handed him back to Lin Gantang. “You should carry him. He’s not comfortable with me.”

Lin Gantang cradled Xiao Bao close, carrying him back to Tongtong’s room. She soon discovered the cause for his discomfort: he had defecated in his diapers.

“Yanqing is so thoughtful,” Jiang Tongtong praised.

Lin Gantang rested her head on her hands as she watched the nanny change Xiao Bao’s diapers. “I told Dad I want to stay with a Yanqing just now. Why didn’t he react at all?” she asked.

Jiang Tongtong covered her mouth and laughed. “He probably already treats Yanqing as family. So, what’s there to worry about if you stayed with him?”

“Ah… And I was expecting a scene where Dad would be reluctant to see me off with tears in his eyes, or perhaps a show of jealousy where he would stick up for me against his daughter’s evil boyfriend.” Lin Gantang sighed repeatedly. “Do you know why Dad is willing to let you go? I accidentally overheard him explaining it once,” Jiang Tongtong said mysteriously.

Lin Gantang leaned closer, eager to hear what Tongtong had to say.

“The main reason is Dad’s belief that your personality has improved since you got together with Yanqing. Dad might be jealous of your newfound boyfriend, but he would never show someone who has helped you better yourself with hostility,” Jiang Tongtong explained..
