“Uncle is an elder, and it’s only right for me to come and see you.”

He glanced at Lin Gantang and Wen Yanqing, sighing, “It’s Zhichuan’s misfortune. But the way things are now is quite good. You two make a great couple.”

The atmosphere remained harmonious. Most of the time, Gu Guoliang chatted with Wen Yanqing, while Lin Gantang sat with them for a while. She only left when a nurse came to administer an IV.

Gu Guoliang then called Gu Zhichuan back into the room.

“Gantang already has a partner. What are your plans?” Gu Guoliang asked. “If you don’t want to date and get married, I’ll tell your mother not to push you. If you don’t want to break up, then bring her here for me to meet and see if she’s good or bad.”

“She and 1 aren’t like what you think,” Gu Zhichuan denied.

Gu Guoliang became angry upon hearing this. “Where’s your responsibility as a man? If it’s not that kind of relationship, don’t string others along!”

“Dad, 1 understand.”

“No matter who you choose in the future, Gantang has moved on. Her current boyfriend is Wen Yanqing, and it’s wise to build a good relationship with the Wen family. Don’t make any foolish decisions,” Gu Guoliang advised.

“I get it.”

“Alright, there are nurses here. You should get back to work.”

Gu Zhichuan left the room.

He hadn’t expected Lin Gantang to ask Wen Yanqing to accompany her.

After the incident at the Qin family’s banquet, in his free moments, he would occasionally think of her. He didn’t dwell on it much, but it was enough to make him reminisce about the feelings they had shared.

He thought he could have a conversation with her today, but he found himself unable to say anything in her presence.

Gu Zhichuan leaned against his car and lit another cigarette.

Wen Yanqing accompanied Lin Gantang back home, a situation that surprised him.

After Mr. Lin mentioned him so frequently, almost as if he were his son, Lin Gantang thought it would be best to have Wen Yanqing come to her home.

“Is it convenient?” Wen Yanqing asked.

“If 1 don’t bring you in, 1 don’t know what my dad will say to me.”

Wen Yanqing smiled when he saw her helplessness.

Lately, Mr. Lin had been engrossed in making toys, as if he had found a newfound joy in it. He even declined invitations from his old friends for walks.

This time, he was working on a triangle puzzle. When he spotted Wen Yanqing, he raised his hand and beckoned. “Come, come, Yanqing, come and help.”

His tone was very familiar, and he didn’t even glance at Lin Gantang, as if she were merely a tool for bringing Wen Yanqing home.

Wen Yanqing inspected the simple car beside Mr. Lin and the three differently-sized triangle puzzles in front of him. He asked with a smile, “Is uncle making a tangram?”

“You even know about this?” Mr. Lin was surprised.

“You’re still meticulous, unlike Gantang.” Mr. Lin said with disdain. “Yesterday, I spent a long time making a circular puzzle. When she saw it, she asked me if 1 was making doughnuts! That made me so angry, she couldn’t even recognize a Rainbow Tower!”

Wen Yanqing smiled as he picked up the tools. “There are no children at home, so she hasn’t paid attention to the toys kids play with. Normally, she doesn’t know.”

“She’s just being foolish. You don’t need to make excuses for her.”

As Lin Gantang brought over some mangoes, she overheard her father speaking ill of her.

She sat down to eat.

Wen Yanqing cut out the remaining four triangular pieces according to Mr. Lin’s specifications. Mr. Lin took them to polish the edges, satisfied with the result. He continued speaking as he worked, “Do you think I should paint these? I heard that paint might not be good for children.”

“Colors can stimulate a baby’s brain development. Nowadays, eco-friendly paints are safe. If you’re still concerned, why not stick colorful paper on them?”

“That’s a good point.” Mr. Lin nodded.

“Uncle should rest early tonight. If you can’t make toys, you might as well buy some first,” Wen Yanqing suggested.

“Alright, alright, 1’11 buy some. I’ll listen to you.” Mr. Lin chuckled.

Lin Gantang widened her eyes.. When she had said she wanted to buy toys, her father hadn’t reacted like this!
