“If you liked her, you could have married her, and I would even arrange a wedding for you. What are you worried about?” Wen Rendong asked.

Wen Yanqing sarcastically replied, “Before I got together with Gantang, weren’t you always trying to arrange a marriage partner for me? Are you looking for me to start a family and establish a career? All you wanted was for me to carry on the Wen family’s legacy and have a son, right?” contemporary romance

Mr. Lin agreed to let him be with Gantang simply because he thought he was a good person and respected his daughter’s choice.

On the other hand, Wen Rendong’s agreement for them to be together was based on the fact that Wen Yanqing only wanted her. Now, since Wen Rendong could no longer dictate his life, he could only accept the fact that Lin Gantang was the one who could potentially bear Wen Yanqing’s child in the future.

This agreement wasn’t entirely pure.

It also wasn’t something Wen Yanqing cared much about.

Wen Rendong couldn’t have children, so he had an unusually strong desire for the continuation of the family line.

However, the current Wen Yanqing was no longer the same as when he had just returned to the Wen family. With Wen Yanqing standing in front of her, his gentle aura was restrained completely, replaced by a cold and guarded demeanor. He retorted, “You don’t have a heart, so you’ll never understand why children are the result of love.”

Wen Rendong reluctantly gave up.

Autumn winds blew, and the days grew colder. It was time for Jiang Tongtong’s prenatal checkup again.

Lin Zhaonan was away on a business trip, so Lin Gantang volunteered to accompany Jiang Tongtong. She changed into a loose-fitting sweater for ease of movement and drove Jiang Tongtong to the hospital.

It was Lin Gantang’s first time in the Obstetrics Department. Surrounded by pregnant women with prominent bellies, many of them were there without their husbands.

Jiang Tongtong had an appointment for her checkup, and the wait was a bit long. Lin Gantang passed the time outside while playing with her phone.

Che Qin sent a voice message with a picture, saying, “Sister Gantang, I’ve made some new pear tea. I’d love to treat you to it if we get a chance.”

Lin Gantang, who was feeling a bit bored, opened the picture and replied, “It looks great. You have a knack for this. The fruit tea you made at Rongqing’s house last time was also delicious.”

Che Qin seemed delighted to receive her response and said, “It’s a shame Rongqing isn’t in C City. Otherwise, we could visit her. I’m sure she’d also enjoy the pear tea.”

“I haven’t seen her in a while. Last time, she mentioned she was going to A City to visit her great-grandmother. Hasn’t she returned yet?” Lin Gantang inquired.

Lin Zhaonan’s wedding had gone smoothly, from planning to execution. Zhang Rongqing seemed to have toned down her behavior, possibly due to the incident with Hou Xiaoai.

Anyway, it was a good thing that she didn’t mess around.

“Well, I’ll tell you a secret.” Che Qin appeared to be in the know. “A friend from A City spotted her. It seems her face is covered in acne now. She looks really bad and is secretly getting treatment in A City, too afraid to come back.”

Lin Gantang’s eyes flickered. “Her skin was fine before she left. Could it be she’s not acclimating well?”

“Who knows? Even if she isn’t acclimating, it shouldn’t result in her looking like that, right? Her acne is worse than what teenagers go through.”

Lin Gantang thought of the skincare products that Zhang Rongqing had gifted her and understood the underlying issue.

“By the way, I still don’t know why you often meet up with Rongqing. Are you two classmates?” Lin Gantang inquired.

“No, I was a year younger than her in university. In my sophomore year, my mother needed surgery, and my family was facing financial difficulties and couldn’t raise the money. Rongqing lent me 100,000 yuan, so I’ve been grateful to her all these years,” Che Qin revealed.

Che Qin’s family situation was quite ordinary. However, because she had been following Zhang Rongqing, she had the opportunity to be exposed to this social circle.

“Have you paid back the money from back then?”

“The money has been repaid, but you know, it’s not so easy to repay a favor,” Che Qin sighed. “Rongqing brings it up from time to time, so I can’t just sit idle.”

This statement revealed a lot of information. Lin Gantang smiled faintly. It seemed that Che Qin was indeed as she had suspected: not someone who genuinely cared about Zhang Rongqing. She was not willing to stand by Zhang Rongqing’s side..
