Lin Gantang: “Although it’s just a small test, it’s better to be safe than sorry.” “Like this?” Wen Yanqing was confused. He felt something was amiss but could not pinpoint what it was. “A family doctor can do these basic examinations. There’s no need to go to a hospital for something like this…”
“You can’t be sure of something like that.” Lin Gantang looked at the next item on the list, leading Wen Yanqing away.
Wen Yanqing was confused. The more checks he underwent, the more he felt that something was wrong. “Is this really a physical examination?”
“What else would it be?”
Lin Gantang answered with such certainty that it momentarily silenced him. Wen Yanqing remembered that he had made her angry last night, and she had not pursued the matter. So be it; he would play along as long as it made her happy.
Some time afterward, Wen Yanqing finished his check-ups. It was almost time. Knowing he had a meeting, Lin Gantang said, “Shall we head to the company first?”
“Don’t you have a physical examination?”
“It isn’t urgent; I can do it anytime.”
“?” Lin Gantang said she had a physical examination. Why was she not in a hurry after he had finished his? While Wen Yanqing was deep in thought, Lin Gantang had already called their chauffeur and asked him to pick them up.
When they arrived at Shengfang, Lin Gantang gave Yi Qian a few instructions before she left and returned to the hospital for her check-up.
Trouble? She was not afraid of trouble. If she had not taken the opportunity to force him to undergo a check-up, there might not have been another one in the future.
Retreat?
She, Lin Gantang, was giving him a way out. She would take things slowly till she was ten months into her pregnancy. She did not believe Wen Yanqing would let their child be born out of wedlock.
Lin Gantang looked at the pre-pregnancy check-up report in her hand and snorted.
Some tests needed a few days to complete, and the results would not be available soon. Ling Gantang was in no hurry; she would return in two days to collect the test results.
The meeting still had not ended when she returned to Shengfang.
Secretary Wang’s eyes lit up when she saw Lin Gantang return and invited her into the CEO’s office to wait.
“Secretary Wang, how much longer until the meeting ends?” Lin Gantang asked with a smile.
“They’re almost done. The meeting should end soon if everything goes well.”
Lin Gantang said not to disturb them since they would wrap things up soon. She could wait in the waiting area in the meantime.
Secretary Wang poured her a glass of water while she waited.
Sitting on the comfy lounge chair, Lin Gantang eyed the tightly shut conference room doors. When she took out her phone, she noticed a message she had received from Yin Zhen.
Yin Zhen had asked her: [ What should I give a man for his birthday? ]
Lin Gantang raised an eyebrow. [ Is now a good time to have a quick chat? ]
Yin Zhen phoned.
“You’re not busy at the moment?” Lin Gantang answered the call, somewhat surprised.
“I usually am. What took you so long to respond? What are you doing?”
“I was at the hospital. I just found some free time to check my phone.”
“Are you ill?”
“No. It’s just a regular check-up.” Lin Gantang thought it was a handy excuse, so she did not change her narrative. “Who is the gift for,” Lin Gantang asked.
“Just some guy.”
“Gifts for relatives and clients are different, okay? You have to tell me who it’s for,” Lin Gantang chided. “Only then can I make a proper recommendation. Are you giving it to someone you like?”
Yin Zhen rubbed her temples. “It’s for Lin Fan. Now hurry up! I don’t have the time to argue with you.”
“Tsk, tsk. You should gift Lin Fan your patience. I think he needs it.”
Yin Zhen was speechless. She wondered whether she had asked the wrong person: “What gifts did you give Wen Yanqing?”
“Yanqing is my sweetheart. What is your relationship with Lin Fan?” Lin Gantang was happy to share what she had given to Wen Yanqing.
“I gave Yanqing a ring. Are you planning to give one to Lin Fan?” Lin Gantang teased.
“That won’t do.”
“Tsk, girl, you’re so troublesome.” Lin Gantang counted with her fingers. “I’ve also given him roses, love letters, and kisses. Which one do you prefer?”
Yin Zhen was disgusted. “Lin Gantang, aren’t you tired of spouting such nonsense? Forget it. What gift are you giving your brother?”
“I gave him a cat tree.”
Yin Zhen was speechless..
