After My Rebirth, I Escaped My Marriage

Chapter 753: Chapter 753: Let’s Not Learn to Bark Like a Dog

Mr. Lin stayed for dinner in the evening, and Lin Gantang asked him to spend the night at the manor. Mr. Lin waved his hand, “Dad has already made plans with Old Cheng to go out for tea and a chat tonight; I can’t break the appointment.”

The driver brought the car around, and before getting in, Mr. Lin said to Lin Gantang, “Fishing here seems nice. Should I bring Uncle Fu and Uncle Cheng next time?”

“Sure,” Lin Gantang agreed readily, handing him the manor keys she carried with her. “Dad, come whenever you like, no need to ask me. What kind of tea do Uncle Cheng and Uncle Fu like? I’ll have someone prepare it.”

“Don’t worry about the tea. Dad will send you a list of ingredients for cooking the fish later on, you just get everything ready, I’ll need them when I’m cooking.”

Lin Gantang: …You’ve been thinking about cooking all day long?

She decisively closed the car door, waving goodbye, “Dad, drive safely.”

Wen Yanqing stood beside her with a tender smile, holding her hand, “Bye, Dad.”

As the car drove away, the two walked back hand in hand.

Lin Gantang looked down at Ximi, who was tagging along beside them, and laughed. “I feel like I’ve got a little dog, following us wherever we go.”

Wen Yanqing chuckled and said, “Ximi is sensible. If it were Big Mi, the cat would probably be gone by now.”

Back in the house, Lin Gantang picked up Ximi and used a wet towel to clean its paws, teasing the cat, “Ximi, learn from me, woof woof~”

Ximi: “Meow.”

“Woof woof.”

“Meow~”

Lin Gantang burst out laughing, “Alright, I know Ximi is a pure little kitty, no need to learn how to bark like dogs.”

Just as she said that, a “woof” came from the left.

She and Ximi both turned their heads to look at Vitamin E squatting on the ground.

Lin Gantang: “…”

After that, Lin Gantang would occasionally hear woofs from Vitamin E. She shook Wen Yanqing’s arm. “What should we do, what should we do? Can it be reversed? I think I’ve corrupted Vitamin E.”

Wen Yanqing could not stop laughing.

Days passed leisurely, and before they knew it, half a month had gone by.

Perhaps the doctor’s prescribed medication was effective, and combined with the quiet and simple life away from the complicated hustle and bustle, and with the company of his beloved, the shackles in Wen Yanqing’s heart gradually dissolved. He rarely felt severe headaches anymore and hardly suffered from insomnia.

Lin Gantang was very happy to see this.

Wen Rendong had visited once during that time and, seeing that the sizable estate was maintained by only Aunt Zhong, Uncle Peng, and Rongrong, suggested hiring a few more helpers, which Wen Yanqing refused.

After knowing that Wen Yanqing was comfortable living there, Wen Rendong didn’t stay long.

Lin Gantang checked the date and recalled that Yin Zhen had mentioned she would come with her mother in a couple of days, but they hadn’t appeared. She wondered if they had been delayed by something or had changed their minds.

Just as she was pondering this, in the evening, Yin Zhen sent a message: “Tomorrow I’ll accompany my mum to Qinghe Manor for a short stay. Are you still there?”

“Still here,” Lin Gantang replied. “I thought you weren’t coming.”

“I’ve wanted to come earlier, but the cat’s condition wasn’t good. My mum said to wait until it gets out of the pet hospital to take it with us to Qinghe Manor.”

Those people didn’t even spare an innocent cat; Yin Zhen’s mother didn’t feel comfortable leaving it behind.

Lin Gantang asked, “Is the injury to its tail very severe?”

“At first, I thought it was just a fracture in the tail, but the examination revealed it was completely shattered,” said Yin Zhen. “The pet doctor said it’s unlikely to recover completely, even with surgery. Plus, it’s developed an inflammation and is very weak, so it’s been under constant treatment.”

Yin Zhen continued, “But now it’s mostly recovered. Shall I come to you tomorrow?”

“Why don’t I come over to you? I haven’t seen Auntie Ying in a long time; I should visit her,” Lin Gantang decided.
