Chapter 626: Loving You Is an Instinct Engraved in My Bones

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Lin Gantang finally fell asleep in the dead of the night, overcome with exhaustion.

Wen Yanqing opened his eyes, and his warm fingertips gently caressed her eyebrows, tracing her appearance.

Sleep eluded him from the moment he heard her soft breath as she fell into slumber.

Lin Gantang had told him to be selfish.

Selfish? If he were to be as selfish as he wanted, he would tie her up so she would never be able to leave his side. Trapped, he would freely indulge in his wild thoughts, some of which terrified even him!

He feared that he would scare her away if he truly behaved selfishly.

That Wen Yanqing was not the Wen Yanqing she liked.

It was the version of himself who did as he pleased, without caring too much about what Lin Gantang wanted, just as she had said for him to do. But he could not bring himself to do it.

Wen Yanqing caressed her soft hair and felt a lump in his throat. Loving Lin Gantang had become an instinct engraved into his bones. The first thing he would consider was her future, not his happiness.

Needless to say, Wen Yanqing did not sleep that night.

At dawn, he got up and washed up.

Lin Gantang also woke up. She remembered he would return to the company, so she got up.

“Tangtang…” he called out quietly.

He feared she would be angry because of what happened last night.

When she woke up, Lin Gantang’s emotions had settled. She picked out a white shirt for him to put on. Seeing him button up the buttons individually, Lin Gantang picked a matching tie and looped it around his neck for him.

“What time does the meeting start?” she asked.

“10:30.”

“I’ll go with you,” Lin Gantang said. “I also need to make a trip to the hospital.”

“Are you not feeling well?” Wen Yanqing asked hesitantly.

“No, it’s just a routine check-up. You should go for one too. Your sudden headache is concerning.”

“Tangtang…” Wen Yanqing was reluctant to proceed.

“We should go together. Doesn’t it still hurt?” Lin Gantang adjusted her hold on his collar.

“It doesn’t hurt anymore.”

“Are you sure it doesn’t hurt?” Lin Gantang tried again.

“… A little.” Wen Yanqing lowered his head.

Lin Gantang scowled. “See? Let’s go now. I’ve already made the appointment.

I’ll accompany you back to the company after the check-up.”

They set off without a moment to lose. Wen Rendong, who was eating breakfast, noticed their abrupt departure and did not even have the time to ask where they were going.

“Where are they off to in such a rush?” Wen Rendong mumbled, “Aren’t they going to eat breakfast?” Aunt Zhong, who had pottered over, heard him.

“Miss Lin texted me before bed last night. She said that they were going for a medical check-up at the hospital; she said not to prepare breakfast,” Aunt Zhong responded.

Wen Rendong felt something off about the situation. Another check-up?

Hadn’t he just gone for a follow-up consultation? Why would he need another one so soon?

The chauffeur drove the two of them to the hospital. Lin Gantang went straight to Doctor Qiu and asked him to examine Wen Yanqing’s head. However, there was no problem with it. The doctor instructed Wen Yanqing to relax and maintain a state of calm. Lin Gantang listened at the side.

After leaving Dr. Qiu’s consultation room, Wen Yanqing thought it was all over, but Lin Gantang went upstairs instead.

“Where to?” Wen Yanqing asked.

“To the physical examination center.” Lin Gantang looked at the time. “Since you’re already here, let’s continue.”

Why did he need a physical examination? Wen Yanqing’s face was full of question marks as she led him.

“Wait for me here.” Lin Gantang told him not to leave and went in herself.

After a while, she came out and looked at the instructions. “They need to measure your weight and blood pressure. Hmm? Do they really need to check something like this?”

She had no experience there.

“Isn’t that the usual for physical examinations?” Wen Yanqing was puzzled.

“Ah! Yes, yes. You’re right.”

After the check-up, Lin Gantang brought him to do a blood test. She pressed Wen Yanqing into the seat, handed the bar code to the nurse, and rolled up Wen Yanqing’s sleeves.

Wen Yanqing felt that the needle had been inserted for a long time. He left the blood collection area and asked, “It seems like they took a lot of blood, don’t you think?”

“But of course.” Lin Gantang looked at the list in her hand. There were several other items.. How could it be enough for all the tests if they did not take more?
