“My eyes are all blurry.” Lin Gantang put away the card and said to Zhang Rongqing, “Why don’t you take your time looking here? I need to go buy a cufflink.”
“Sure, go ahead.” Zhang Rongqing was enchanted by the choices and couldn’t decide. She hesitated to leave.
“Che Qin, do you want to stay here with Rongqing to choose, or come with me?” Lin Gantang asked.
Zhang Rongqing finally lifted her gaze from the jewelry and responded, “She can stay here. She doesn’t know how to pick cufflinks.”
Che Qin, who was slightly moved, agreed after hearing Zhang Rongqing’s words, “Sister Gantang, you go ahead.”
Lin Gantang was left alone.
Without interruptions, Lin Gantang found a shop and meticulously selected a cufflink, even more seriously than when picking her jewelry.
Considering the occasions Wen Yanqing attended, Lin Gantang chose a silver one, and the salesperson eagerly presented it.
However, Lin Gantang didn’t seem entirely satisfied. “Is it possible to have it customized?”
“Of course, but it’ll take some time,” the salesperson explained.
“That’s alright, I’ll come back for it,” Lin Gantang accepted, describing in detail what she envisioned. She made the payment and then headed to the Elegant Restaurant.
After informing Auntie Zhang that she wouldn’t need dinner tonight, Lin Gantang dialed Zhang Rongqing’s number.
“Rongqing, have you made your selection? I’m getting hungry, so I’m at the Elegant Restaurant already. Hurry up, 1’11 order some dishes and wait for you.”
Upon hearing the click of the call ending, Zhang Rongqing was taken aback. Wasn’t she going to pay for her jewelry first?
However, Lin Gantang hadn’t made any purchases. It would be quite embarrassing to specifically call someone to help her with the payment, as that would clearly show she was treating Lin Gantang as a fool.
“Madam, do you want to keep this necklace?” the salesperson who had been assisting her in the shop asked.
Zhang Rongqing felt a little awkward. “Not for now, I have something else to attend to. 1’11 be back later.”
She hurriedly left as if she were rushing away.
Che Qin quickly caught up with her.
The salesperson couldn’t help but sneer, then put the items back where they belonged.
At the Elegant Restaurant, Lin Gantang ordered an array of dishes.
When the dishes arrived, Zhang Rongqing surveyed the light and mild dishes in front of her and asked, “Didn’t you used to love spicy food?”
Seeing the pimple on Zhang Rongqing’s forehead, Lin Gantang joked, “Well, you’ve got a pimple on your forehead, do you still want to eat spicy food? Alright, I’ll order a couple of spicier dishes.”
Zhang Rongqing was most concerned about her appearance, quickly covering the pimple and stopping Lin Gantang, “No, it’s fine. These dishes are good.”
Lin Gantang picked some vegetables with her chopsticks for Che Qin and inquired, “Che Qin, what do you like to eat? 1 didn’t get a chance to ask you earlier.”
Che Qin hurriedly expressed her gratitude and replied, “I’m not picky, anything is fine.”
Zhang Rongqing remembered that Lin Gantang hadn’t given her the necklace and decided not to speak.
Coincidentally, this suited Lin Gantang’s intentions.
After eating most of the meal, a message from Wen Yanqing came in, asking her what she was doing.
Lin Gantang responded, “Having dinner with friends.”
After sending the message, she remembered how Wen Yanqing had cautiously inquired about the man who had spread strawberry jam on her toast last time. She smiled and said to Zhang Rongqing and Che Qin, “Let’s take a photo.”
Lin Gantang raised her phone, and Zhang Rongqing automatically adjusted her hair and struck a 45-degree angle pose, forming a heart shape with her hands.
After the three took a selfie, Zhang Rongqing asked, “Can you send it to me?”
Lin Gantang shared it with her and forwarded it to Wen Yanqing’s chat.
In the office, Wen Yanqing opened the picture, and his expression softened.
“They’re all women.” Wen Yanqing thought.
Upon seeing the new message, Wen Yanqing’s ears reddened slightly.
Yi Qian came over to organize the documents the CEO had handled. Upon entering the office, he noticed the CEO’s absent-minded, smiling face.
He didn’t need to look twice. The CEO was in love.
As for the object of affection? He’d bet a packet of instant noodles that it was Lin Gantang..
