Chapter 291: Who Doesn’t Have a Man?

“You openly brought him to see your friends, so Auntie Ying will know that you’re dating in the next two days, right?” Lin Gantang picked up the snack in front of Yin Zhen.
Yin Zhen pushed the rest to her. “I’ll simply say that we’re friends. Did anyone see us being intimate?” she said nonchalantly. “Then they’re just saying that he’s my boyfriend? Even if he is, can’t I break up in the end?”
In short, Jiang Chenying wouldn’t let her marry Lin Fan.
Lin Gantang tasted the snack and lamented, “Fortunately, I’m not a man. I’ll be driven to my grave, falling in love with you.”
“I didn’t know that Gao Ruikun was cunning. I was with him because I wanted to get married, but now…” Yin Zhen put down her cutlery. “It’s not a bad thing to be cold-blooded now. Love is not a necessity.”
Lin Gantang thought of the Yin Zhen of a few years later. She was calm and decisive.
However, she didn’t recall this person Lin Fan in her memories. She didn’t even hear that Yin Zhen had given birth to a child.
At that time, she had already been tortured by her marriage and was covered in scars.
She couldn’t even look after herself; how could she have the energy to pay attention to anything else?
“You’re different from me. Who would be willing to walk into brambles if everything can go smoothly?” Yin Zhen said. “Just stay the way you are now. Manage your bookstore well and be with Wen Yanqing. He and your life now suit you well.”
Lin Fan came back with food and the two of them stopped talking.
“Shall we have fun together?” Lin Gantang put down the sparkling water and asked Lin Fan with a smile. “Or do you want to walk around with your sister first?”
Lin Fan looked at Yin Zhen.
“I’ll go around with him first. I’ll look for you later,” Yin Zhen said.
“Sigh, I’ve been waiting for you for so long. So it turns out that your man is still more important. In the end, I was overthinking things.” Lin Gantang shook her head, pretending to be regretful. “Forget it, forget it. This is a throwaway friendship. I’ll go and look for Yanqing. Who doesn’t have a man?”
The manor’s buildings were well-proportioned, and the activity room was not far away. Lin Gantang guessed that Wen Yanqing was there.
She walked to a water corridor. The rocks and pine branches were reflected in the water, blurring as ripples were stirred up by wind.
When she was almost at the end of the corridor, she saw Gu Zhichuan standing in front of her.
Why was Gu Zhichuan here? Lin Gantang frowned.
“Excuse me,” Lin Gantang said politely, as he was blocking the way.
“I was waiting for you.” Gu Zhichuan did not move.
Wait? There was nothing else to talk about between them, right? “Is anything the matter?” Lin Gantang asked quietly.
Gu Zhichuan was silent as he looked at her beautiful face, her windswept hair, and the little pearls that were swaying gently on her earrings.
She had become even more beautiful. Her eyes seemed to glow, like the exquisite crescent moon in the autumn night, soft and bright.
Gu Zhichuan’s usually cold gaze gradually turned warm at this moment. “You look very beautiful today,” he said in a low voice.
Lin Gantang raised her eyebrows slightly.
How difficult it was to get a word of praise and affirmation from him when she had been chasing him. Yet now that she didn’t need it anymore, she heard what she wanted to hear from his mouth.
What was the use?
Lin Gantang chuckled. She was neither happy nor sad because she had already let go.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving first.” Lin Gantang walked forward and passed by him.
Turn back and take a detour? Would you stop and turn around because of an irrelevant person? It was completely unnecessary.
Gu Zhichuan moved aside and subconsciously wanted to reach out to pull at her, but he still remembered the distant and disgusted look on Lin Gantang’s face in the past. In the end, he did not touch her. The moment she brushed past him, he said, “I went to look for you on New Year’s Eve.”
Lin Gantang turned around and gestured for him to continue.
“Wen Yanqing looked for me that night. If I’m not wrong, you probably didn’t know that I looked for you, right?” Gu Zhichuan asked..
