Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Lin Zhaonan and Jiang Tongtong’s wedding date was getting closer and closer. Mr. Lin asked Butler Lu to send invitations to each family, and they were happy all day long.

Lin Gantang couldn’t contribute much to the wedding preparations, so she made several visits to the bookstore to check on the progress.

Wen Yanqing knew she was at the shop and even joined her during lunch breaks to take a look.

The storefront was starting to take shape, and it seemed like it would be ready for business shortly after the wedding.

At present, Lin Gantang was focused on learning how to take care of cats and understand their behavior.

These days were quite fulfilling, and Lin Gantang felt like she was gradually forgetting the feeling of idleness that characterized the previous generation, where there was only love and nothing else to do.

However, it was at this moment that Gu Zhichuan called.

It was an unmarked number, and because she didn’t pay much attention, Lin Gantang didn’t realize it was him when she answered the call. “Hello? Who is this?”

There was a long silence on the other end, leaving Lin Gantang puzzled. She took her phone to check.

This was the phone number that had been etched into her heart from her previous life. Lin Gantang was about to hang up.

But then a voice came from the other end, “Gantang, it’s me.”

Lin Gantang didn’t know why Gu Zhichuan would suddenly contact her. After they parted ways at the hospital, neither of them had reached out to the other.

Lin Gantang had thought that things would continue this way in the future, with each of them leading their own lives without interference.

“What’s the matter?” Lin Gantang asked.

Perhaps her tone was too cold, as Gu Zhichuan remained silent for a moment. “My dad mentioned you and said he misses you. He’s currently in the hospital recovering. Would you like to come and visit?”

Gu Zhichuan’s tone, filled with discussion, caught Lin Gantang by surprise. He had always been the decisive one, with her just following along.

In her previous life, Mr. Gu had treated her well. He even scolded Gu Zhichuan when he found out about Gu Zhichuan having another woman.

Whether it was for the benefit of their families’ cooperation, to uphold the Gu family’s reputation, or for her sake, Mr. Gu had always been a rational and fair person.

“Aunt Gu wouldn’t want to see me,” Lin Gantang said.

“She’s not at the hospital in the evenings.”

“1 can visit Uncle, but please don’t call me again. My boyfriend won’t be happy.”

Lin Gantang hung up the call and blocked Gu Zhichuan’s number.

In the past, she hadn’t done this because she thought it didn’t matter. She believed that given Gu Zhichuan’s personality, he would never contact her again.

If there were any real issues, he could call her home number, and Butler Lu would handle it for him.

However, Gu Zhichuan didn’t know that Lin Gantang had distanced herself completely.

He stood outside the hospital, lit a cigarette, and watched the patients and their families bustling about, their expressions filled with fatigue or anxiety.

The turmoil in his heart couldn’t be settled.

Lin Gantang had come, but she had brought Wen Yanqing along.

When Gu Zhichuan saw the two of them, his eyes darkened.

“Mr. Wen.” Gu Guoliang, whose right hand was immobilized, managed to sit up with his left hand. His gaze moved over Wen Yanqing and Lin Gantang.

“Uncle Gu, lie back down. This is something Gantang and I picked for you, something to nourish your body.” Wen Yanqing spoke gently. “Uncle Gu, do your hands feel any better?”

“I’m much better. 1’11 be discharged in a few days once they remove the stitches.” Gu Guoliang looked at Lin Gantang and smiled. “Gantang, have a seat. It’s been a while since 1 last saw you. 1 heard you’re planning to open a bookstore.” contemporary romance

“Uncle, you must be joking. I’m just dabbling in something small. 1 might not even succeed.” Lin Gantang smiled back at Mr. Gu.

The two of them chatted for a while. After Gu Guoliang asked Gu Zhichuan to leave, he said to Lin Gantang, “1 feel quite guilty about what happened at the wedding last time, but he couldn’t bring himself to apologize to the Lin family. He used his illness as an excuse today to have you come over.. Do you blame him?”
