Chapter 721: Chapter 721 Registration, She is Waiting for Me
Lin Gantang spoke to Mr. Lin and said she was going back to find Yanqing, then left first.
The Wen family.
When Aunt Zhong saw her return, she wiped her hands and came forward, “I see Sir’s mood is better than before. Have you two reconciled, or are you still keeping the secret that you are here from him?”
“We’ve reconciled. Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Zhong,” Lin Gantang said.
“That’s good,” Aunt Zhong breathed a sigh of relief. She wasn’t the one working hard; she felt for both of them. Mr. Wen had not been this heartbroken even when Miss Lin did not respond to him at first; it was quite heartwrenching to see.
“Then I’ll get back to work. Sir is resting in the room now,” Aunt Zhong said.
“Did he take his medicine?”
“Yes, he took it as soon as he came back.”
Lin Gantang went up to the room but didn’t see Wen Yanqing. He was on the terrace.
When she walked over, she realized that he had fallen asleep in the chair.
He was sleeping so deeply that he didn’t even notice her quietly taking Big Mi from his arms.
When Big Mi was awoken by her embrace, she wriggled in Lin Gantang’s arms to find a new position, resting her small head on Lin Gantang’s arm, her hanging tail swaying back and forth.
Lin Gantang knew that Wen Yanqing had not slept well these past days and must have been very tired, so she went into the room to fetch a thin blanket and gently covered him with it.
In the afternoon, Wen Rendong still had not returned, and seeing that Wen Yanqing hadn’t woken, Lin Gantang went to the courtyard to cut some flowers to take back to the room to arrange.
On her return, she accidentally overheard two young housemaids talking.
“That woman outside waited for half a day, and then seeing Miss Lin allowed to enter, that’s what prompted her to make a scene, right?”
“Probably thought Miss Lin had the same status as her, hilarious. Miss Lin is the future mistress of the Wen family, while she, a mere minor lover, imagined herself to be comparable.”
“Just let her cry and throw a fit there?”
“It’s not just her crying; the employer said not one of these people is allowed in. You’re new and inexperienced; she’ll cry and eventually leave, so don’t bother with it.”
Lin Gantang understood; it turned out to be Wen Rendong’s love debts. The main gate was quite far from the residential building and the servants had been instructed not to pay attention, so no wonder nobody mentioned it.
After arranging the flowers, Lin Gantang went to the terrace. She intended to check if Wen Yanqing had awakened, but she saw Vitamin E squatting on the patio table, reaching out its paw, nudging a water glass bit by bit toward the edge. With ears perked forward and round eyes wide, it looked like it was secretly up to no good.
Lin Gantang inwardly cursed, just about to go over and grab the cat to save the glass, but Vitamin E had already stretched out its paw quickly and pushed the glass to the floor.
Clang
Wen Yanqing abruptly awoke with a start.
Lin Gantang: …Crap.
Wen Yanqing, startled awake from his sleep, sat up in a daze, not immediately remembering the date or the hour. Then, he frantically stood up, the blanket on him sliding to the floor.
His mind was in chaos, vaguely remembering something important he had to do, yet also feeling like he had missed the time; it felt as though he had just been asleep, back in the days when Lin Gantang wasn’t by his side.
His sleeping mind suddenly awake, his processing of information was in utter disarray.
As he anxiously began to get up, Lin Gantang already approached and took hold of him, “Where are you going?”
“To register, she is waiting for me,” he replied anxiously.
Lin Gantang froze for a moment, then gently reassured, “I’m here, we’ve already registered and come back.”
Wen Yanqing paused for a moment, then calmed his frantic breathing, saying in a low voice, “I was confused from sleep.”
“Right, it’s already afternoon, come on, Aunt Zhong has prepared afternoon tea, let’s go have something to eat.”
As Lin Gantang led him away, she noticed that he was holding onto her hand very tightly.
