At dinner time, Lin Gantang asked Auntie Zhang to prepare an extra serving of food for her and had her meal in her room.

Jiang Tongtong noticed and said, “Tangtang, it’s okay. Come down and join us.”

“Pregnant women have weaker immune systems, so I won’t trouble you,” Lin Gantang replied while wearing a mask and waving her hand dismissively.

Mr. Lin finished washing his hands and joined the conversation. “Why not consider hiring a family doctor? You won’t have to go to the hospital for minor ailments in the future.”

“For minor issues, taking some medicine on my own will suffice. For serious problems, hospitals have complete medical equipment. Instead of spending money on a doctor, it’s better to hire a health manager to manage your eating habits.” Lin Gantang quipped as she headed upstairs.

“What’s wrong with eating a bit of meat?” Mr. Lin muttered, grumbling to himself. “You’re overstepping my bounds.”

Jiang Tongtong laughed. “Dad, I didn’t say you can’t eat meat. I’m just suggesting you opt for something with lower fat content.”

Jiang Tongtong served him some chicken breast meat, causing Mr. Lin’s expression to turn sour. He wanted a fatty dish like braised pork or trotters.

After dinner, Mr. Lin settled in front of the television to watch the news. Then, he witnessed Lin Gantang rushing downstairs like a gust of wind and leaving the house.

Mr. Lin pondered, “Doesn’t this scene seem a bit familiar?”

Who did Lin Gantang run downstairs to welcome the last time?

“Dad, Yanqing is here,” Lin Gantang whispered as she returned.

Mr. Lin was at a loss for words.

His daughter might not be reliable, but her choice of boyfriend was entirely to his liking.

Wen Yanqing placed the gift on the coffee table and addressed Uncle Lin.

“You’ve been here many times before, why bring a gift?” Mr. Lin warmly invited Wen Yanqing to sit beside him. “Come, come, come, sit here with Uncle.”

Lin Gantang raised an eyebrow, wondering if she had just heard something unbelievable.

“Gantang has a temper and lacks capability. Seriously, why did you agree to be with her?” Mr. Lin furrowed his brows.

Lin Gantang was confused.

“You shouldn’t pick someone with her temper. Since you come from a good family background, you should find someone better,” Mr. Lin advised.

Lin Gantang was speechless. She must not be his biological daughter.

“Shouldn’t parents offer this kind of advice when their child is in a relationship with someone problematic?” Lin Gantang thought.

Wen Yanqing cleared his throat, suppressing his laughter.

Unable to quieten her father’s mouth, Lin Gantang’s attention shifted to the gift that Wen Yanqing had brought.

Just as she was about to pick it up for a closer look, Mr. Lin swiftly snatched it back to his side. “This gift was given to me by Yanqing. What were you trying to do sneakily?”

Lin Gantang glared at him and pulled Wen Yanqing upstairs. “What are you talking to my boyfriend about? If you have the guts, find a boyfriend for yourself.”

Hey!

Mr. Lin almost picked up his slipper in frustration.

Wen Yanqing smiled and obediently followed her into the room. He quietly surveyed his surroundings. This was his first time in Lin Gantang’s bedroom.

“Wait here for a moment.”

Lin Gantang hurried to the adjacent room and brought Little Leopard Flower with her.

Little Leopard Flower tilted its head and let out a meow directed at Wen Yanqing.

“Very cute.” Wen Yanqing gently touched its small head.

Lin Gantang guided him to sit on her bed and placed Little Leopard Flower in his lap. “I’ll get you a glass of water.”

“Don’t bother if you’re not feeling well. I’m not thirsty.” Wen Yanqing looked at her with a smile.

“It’s okay. I’m feeling much better after taking some medicine and getting some rest.” Lin Gantang asked, “Why did you come here? Aren’t you busy?”

“I’m not busy. 1 just wanted to see you.” Wen Yanqing reached out to touch her forehead, checking her temperature.

“I don’t have a fever.” Lin Gantang also touched her forehead and their hands coincidentally met.

With a slight movement of his fingertips, Wen Yanqing withdrew his hand. Lin Gantang had already pulled back hers. “Next time, don’t make a special trip here. You’re busy with work every day.”

“I’ll be on a business trip tomorrow, and… 1 just missed you,” Wen Yanqing finished, his gaze fixed on her..
