Getting All the Hopes About Love

Lin Gantang looked at the time and told the driver to go back after getting into the car.

She had agreed to go back before Wen Yanqing woke up from his afternoon nap. Lin Gantang did not want to break her promise to him.

The car drove steadily towards the Wen Family home. A man and a car were parked beside the main gate.

Outside the car, Gu Zhichuan was smoking silently. He saw Lin Gantang’s face through the half-rolled-down car window. He put out his cigarette and stepped forward.

“Miss Lin, he seems to be looking for you.” the driver said.

“Don’t worry about it.” Lin Gandang glanced at him indifferently. “Go in.”

The chauffeur followed her instructions and went straight in. However, he could not move. The chauffeur was annoyed. “Miss Lin, the other party is blocking the road.”

Lin Gantang looked at Gu Zhichuan, who was staring at her outside the car. He wanted her to get out of the car and talk to him.

When they were together, she didn’t think so. After they separated, she lost the filter of love and realized how annoying he was.

“You can go in first.” Lin Gantang said to the chauffeur as she exited the car.

Gu Zhichuan did not make things difficult for the chauffeur anymore when he saw her coming down. He walked closer to her.

As the wind blew past, Lin Gantang could smell the tobacco on his body and frowned.

She took two steps back. Gu Zhichuan saw her avoiding him like a duck and felt his heartache.

“What’s the matter, Mr. Gu?” she asked.

Gu Zhichuan was already used to her unfamiliar way of addressing him. “Is Wen Yanqing right?” he asked.

Recently, many people would ask Lin Gantang about Wen Yanqing’s condition out of concern when they met her. However, hearing it from Gu Zhichuan today, Lin Gandang found it ridiculous.

“You care about him? If you’re concerned, won’t you go in and see him when you reach the door?” Lin Gantang asked.

She was not even willing to waste her energy on the small talk between normal friends. Gu Zhichuan felt helpless. He said frankly, “Actually, I’m here to look for you.”

“I can tell. If you have something to say, say it quickly. I’m very busy.” Lin Gantang looked impatient.

Gu Zhichuan was silent for a moment. “I’m very sorry about the fire. It was because of me that Shi Muzhen caused you harm.”

Lin Gantang chuckled. Her expression was cold. “Shi Muzhen’s heart is black. But if it weren’t for you, she wouldn’t have used her arrogance on me. You are indeed responsible for thinking this way.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Things have come to this. When Yanqing and I were lucky enough to survive. Shi Muzhen will be sentenced soon. As for you, I hope you can stay away from us. After all, who knows if there will be a second Shi Muzhen?” Lin Gantang’s eyes were indifferent.

She said, “I just want to live peacefully with Wen Yanqing. As for you, I’ve already let go of the past. I’m also telling you clearly that there’s no longer any possibility between us. No matter how hard you try, it won’t move my heart.”

She did not fly into a rage, nor was she full of resentment. Her calm, distant, and resolute words made Gu Zhichuan’s heart feel like it was being cut by a knife.

But this time, it was his existence that hurt her. No matter how much he liked it, he could not pursue it fearlessly like before.

“L..No more chances?” Gu Zhichuan lowered his head and said in a low voice, “Even a little bit?”

“No, because I don’t need it anymore.”

“I’ve received all the expectations of love from Yan Qing.” Lin Gandang looked up.

No phone call could not be dialed, no worries and suspicions caused by the opposite sex, and no empty bed waiting for dawn.

When she was with Wen Yanqing, she was willing to give up everything, but she also received the warmth that he took the initiative to return. She was relaxed and at ease. Love was worth it.

She no longer needed Gu Zhichuan to change his mind.
