“I’m letting you know so you can be mentally prepared. It wasn’t easy for you and Wen Yanqing to get together. Don’t let any shady people cause any misunderstandings. If anything happens in the future, you won’t be deceived,” Yin Zhen said.

“Thank you for telling me about this. Let me know when Yin He gets back.”

“Alright, but remember to be careful not to fall into his trap. If you need help, just look for me. Be careful when you drive. I’ll get going too.” Yin Zhen hung up the phone after hearing her reply.

Lin Gantang drove back to C City. After reporting to Wen Yanqing and her family that she was safe, she rested at home for a while.

Everyone was busy with their own matters. After lunch, Lin Gantang went to the bookstore with the tabby cat.

As soon as they arrived at the shop, the tabby cat immediately jumped onto the cat tree and squeezed close to the black cat’s side to sniff it. Its claws hooked around Blackie’s neck, and Blackie good-naturedly squatted down, its tail swaying leisurely.

Seeing that the two of them did not fight, Lin Gantang went to get busy.

On the second floor, she was surprised to see Jiang Chenying. She was wearing an elegant suit, her hair neatly combed, and was holding the sweet Ragdoll cat in her arms. She was sitting in front of the table and reading a literary classic.

“Aunt Ying,” Lin Gantang called out sweetly.

Jiang Chenying looked up and smiled when she saw her. “Gantang.”

“I didn’t know you were here. Otherwise, I would have come over earlier to accompany you.” Lin Gantang smiled.

Jiang Chenying returned a smile, revealing wrinkles left behind by the years. “I heard Yin Zhen mention your bookstore, so 1 asked for the address and came over to have a look.

“Your cat is so obedient. 1 can’t bear to let go of it.” Jiang Chenying slowly stroked Sweet Wine’s fur. “Its blue eyes are so pretty.”

“Sweet Wine is a good child,” Lin Gantang beamed.

Sweet Wine seemed to understand and meowed twice.

Jiang Chenying sighed. “It’s so nice to open a bookstore like yours. It’s so comfortable. A family like ours doesn’t have to worry about basic necessities. Look at Yin Zhen now. She’s busy all day long. I’m worried that her body can’t take it.”

“I envy Yin Zhen for being so powerful and capable. I don’t have any great ambitions,” Lin Gantang said with a smile. “I opened a small-scale bookstore.”

“Your dad must be so happy that you’re like this. Auntie isn’t saying that girls shouldn’t be too career-minded, but my heart aches for Yin Zhen. What I want most is for her to slow her pace and fall in love like you, finding a reliable person to marry and leading a relaxed life. That’s what 1 look forward to the most.”

“But what you said just now is not the kind of life that Yin Zhen likes.” Lin Gantang spoke up for Yin Zhen.

Jiang Chenying sighed. “I know. That’s why I didn’t stop her. 1 just hope that she can meet someone who is mutually supportive and start a family with him.”

Lin Gantang suddenly remembered Yin Zhen’s plan to raise a child without its father. She didn’t even dare to mention it to Jiang Chenying.

“By the way, do you want to have dinner with Auntie tonight? With Yin Zhen?” Jiang Chenying asked.

Lin Gantang had not seen Yin Zhen for a long time, so she agreed.

When it was about time, Jiang Chenying had a sudden idea. She said that it was not warm enough outside and wanted to cook for Yin Zhen in Mingqing Mansion. She wanted to go ahead of time to prepare the food.

Since she had promised her, Lin Gantang simply accompanied her. Ever since Qian Ruoxi had become the store manager, she had been able to handle all sorts of matters more efficiently. Lin Gantang did not have to worry about the bookstore as much, and her time was very flexible.

Jiang Chenying had the key to Yin Zhen’s house. When she opened the door, Lin Gantang looked at the two pairs of gray slippers at the entrance and fell silent for a while.

Jiang Chenying saw it too. “Why are these shoes so big? Did Yin Zhen take the wrong size?” she asked.

Lin Gantang quickly took out her phone and asked Yin Zhen, “Auntie Ying is raiding your place. Do you have a boyfriend? Does your mum know?”

Yin Zhen’s reply was even more urgent, “Don’t let my mum know! Help me cover up the evidence!”
