I won’t marry anyone other than him.

Wen Yanqing raised his head abruptly, his dark eyes shining brightly because of that one sentence. It was as if a gentle spring breeze was surging in, calming his panicking and uneasy heart.

Unknowingly, he relaxed and slowly walked out from behind the rocks, standing in the light.

As long as she said yes, he would no longer have to wait in the corner and walk alone in the dark.

Lin Gantang’s back was facing Wen Yanqing and she did not notice him, but Gu Zhichuan noticed his arrival at a glance.

Gu Zhichuan’s thin lips were pursed into a straight line.

This man had picked up his lost pearl. How could he continue to face him calmly?

The man standing opposite him had a calm and composed expression, as if he was nothing in his eyes, which served as a foil to his overestimation of his own abilities.

In that instant, unwillingness welled up from the bottom of his heart. Gu Zhichuan stared at Wen Yanqing and said to Lin Gantang, “Since that’s the case, can I hug you one last time? Let’s erase all our past grudges. Is that okay?”

Gu Zhichuan’s voice rang clearly in Wen Yanqing’s ears.

The wind ruffled his hair as he stood quietly. His fingers that were gripping the phone were white and his veins were bulging.

“Tangtang, come here,” he said with his jaw tensed.

Gu Zhichuan could only see his calm exterior, but he did not know how much effort he had put into hiding the calmness he displayed.

When Lin Gantang heard Wen Yanqing’s voice, she immediately turned her head. Then, she revealed a surprised expression and turned to walk towards him without hesitation.

Gu Zhichuan saw her skirt flying as she moved further and further away from him.

Wen Yanqing wrapped his arms around her waist. His eyes met Gu Zhichuan’s for a moment before he lowered his head to kiss her forehead. “Let’s go.”

“Yes, I was just about to go and look for you.”

Lin Gantang left with Wen Yanqing. She ran to someone else without a second thought. From then onward, he was the one who would look at Lin Gantang from afar. Gu Zhichuan stood there for a long time without leaving. He took out a cigarette and lit it up. His mind was still filled with Lin Gantang’s charming eyes.

Lin Gantang followed Wen Yanqing. The latter’s silence made Lin Gantang feel a little at a loss.

“Yanqing?” Lin Gantang tugged at his sleeve.

Wen Yanqing looked down at her.

“I wanted to look for you just now, but I bumped into Gu Zhichuan. I don’t know why he’s here either. I didn’t arrange to meet him,” Lin Gantang explained.

“I know. I’m not angry.”

Seeing that there was no one around, Lin Gantang stopped and kissed him on the lips. “Why didn’t you talk to me just now if you’re not angry?”

Wen Yanqing was really not angry. He was probably feeling a little upset inside. When he saw Lin Gantang looking cautiously at him, his heart softened. “Does what you say just now still stand?”

“I said quite a lot. Which one are you referring to?” Lin Gantang asked him gently.

“Marry me, have a baby with me and hold a full-month banquet.” Wen Yanqing picked the main point.

“Of course it stands. But I’m not sure about the rest.” Lin Gantang pursed her lips and smiled.

Wen Yanqing’s heart tightened. Was she unwilling?

However, he heard her say, “How can one be enough? At least give birth to two. They’ll have a companion.”

Wen Yanqing suddenly let his guard down and could not help but hug her.

Lin Gantang wrapped her arms around his neck and sniffed his collar and neck. “I’ve been wanting to ask you – why do you smell like alcohol? Did you drink a lot?”

Her soft hair brushed against his chin, and the fragrance around his neck made Wen Yanqing’s Adam’s apple roll. He pushed Lin Gantang against the wall and captured her delicate lips in one fell swoop.

Their breaths intertwined, and they kissed passionately..
