Chapter 764: 764: Seeing Such a Big Reaction from Us?

In the mountain villa.

After chatting with Ye Qiuqiu, Lin Gantang forgot to message her dad and put down her phone to work on video editing.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

After her nap, she returned to bed to check on Wen Yanqing and felt that he was sleeping deeper than usual; he usually would have woken up by now.

She stroked his hair, touched his eyelashes, and kissed his cheeks, but he still didn’t wake up.

An hour later, Wen Yanqing finally opened his eyes.

Lin Gantang propped her chin and looked at him with a light smile, “That tired? Didn’t sleep last night?”

Wen Yanqing sat up drowsily, “Last night, who knows which cat got frisky, practicing parkour all night long.”

After he lost his sight, his hearing improved; the quiet of the night made every little noise crystal clear.

Hearing his plaintive tone, Lin Gantang laughed, but then felt it wasn’t very kind and said, “Tonight, I’ll get up and see who’s causing trouble.”

She rose from the bed, “Speaking of which, didn’t we soundproof the rooms when we did the renovations? I’ll ask someone about it.”

“No need to go through the trouble, just exhaust the cats’ energy during the day, and they should be quiet at night.”

These cats were quite well-behaved; this kind of behavior had not happened at the Wen family’s home before.

“Then let’s get up, we need to visit my dad’s place.”

Once they were ready, Lin Gantang pocketed the amulet and led Wen Yanqing out the door.

Uncle Peng left the car keys at the entrance, so Lin Gantang went to get the car, only to discover that the amulet she’d left in Yin Zhen’s car had been placed back in her Porsche.

Yin Zhen didn’t want it, so Lin Gantang helplessly put it away.

On their way back to the Lin family’s home, Lin Gantang saw a procession of decorated wedding cars as they neared the house.

Lin Gantang gave it a couple of extra glances.

Mr. Lin was sitting in front of the couch watching a movie, cupping a thermos and drinking when he saw Lin Gantang suddenly appear, choking and coughing incessantly.

Lin Gantang dropped her bag and sat down, eyeing him suspiciously, “That big of a reaction to seeing us?”

“Didn’t expect you’d come back, it’s a bit of a surprise,” Mr. Lin managed to stop coughing.

Lin Gantang looked at his cup, “What are you drinking?”

“Just warm water.”

Lin Gantang took a deep sniff, “Why do I smell alcohol?”

“Aunt Zhang is making stout-braised meat in the kitchen, you’re probably smelling that,” Mr. Lin quickly covered his thermos. “Good thing you’re here, let’s eat together tonight.”

Lin Gantang fixed her gaze on his thermos.

Mr. Lin glared at her, gripping the thermos tightly, “What are you looking at my cup for? You think I would put liquor in here? Baijiu should be in a flask, you know a common stainless steel cup like mine isn’t suitable for that, right?”

Just then Jiang Tongtong came downstairs, “I heard Tangtang’s voice and thought I was hearing things.”

She came over smiling, “How’s living in the villa? I’ve wanted to visit with your brother, but he’s been too busy.”

“It’s quite nice, once Xiao An is a bit older, you can take him there to fish and catch dragonflies,” Lin Gantang teased Little Yi’an in her arms.

Seeing Mr. Lin finally shift his focus elsewhere, he breathed a sigh of relief, got up, and tucked the thermos into a corner of the kitchen.

In the living room, Lin Gantang asked Jiang Tongtong, “Is someone in the neighborhood getting married? I saw the wedding cars on my way here.”

“Heading towards our villa area? That should be Lin Jingqi’s procession,” Jiang Tongtong said. “Today’s his wedding day.”

“That quick?” Lin Gantang had only recently heard about Gan Wenyu trying on wedding dresses.

“It must have been the Gan family’s decision. I heard the two families had quite unhappy discussions over the wedding, and the banquet wasn’t even grand; they just hastily put together a few tables after picking up the bride.”

Lin Jingqi had wanted to split with Gan Wenyu, but ended up tied together because of the child, so he likely wasn’t too invested in the wedding.
