Chapter 276 - 276: Perfect Agreement
“You know how to swim?” asked Lin Gantang.
“Yes.” Wen Yanqing confirmed.
Even if he didn’t know how to, he should learn to do it. Would he let his girlfriend wear a bikini and get taught by others? Dream on.
Only then did Lin Gantang realize that she had asked a useless question. It was Wen Yanqing who had saved her from the water at Qinghe Manor. How could he not swim?
Lin Gantang had no idea what her boyfriend was thinking. She was very happy. “That’s great. I don’t even need to find a coach.”
The two of them were not thinking in the same direction, but they had reached a perfect consensus.
Wen Yanqing was very satisfied.
During the meal, Lin Gantang and Wen Yanqing’s favorite dishes were mostly served. Wen Rendong hadn’t eaten with Wen Yanqing for a long time, so he was in a good mood and went to get a bottle of wine.
“I’m driving. I can’t drink.” Wen Yanqing refused.
“It’s okay. If you don’t want to drink, then don’t drink. There are a few bottles of good wine in the wine cellar,” Wen Rendong said to Lin Gantang. “Bring some for your father when you go back.”
“Thank you, Uncle Wen.”
“Don’t be so polite. We’re family from now on. Do you have any plans to get married this year?” Wen Rendong could not help but ask.
“Let’s eat,” Wen Yanqing said calmly.
Wen Rendong realized that his son did not want him to be bothered about this. He sighed to himself, but there was nothing he could do.
The food was delectable, but Lin Gantang realized that Wen Yanqing did not eat much. She was sure that he liked these dishes and didn’t want to eat them. Perhaps it was because he was in the Wen residence?
But how could he not eat? Lin Gantang’s scalp tightened when she thought of the dishes that her father would personally cook in the evening. She quickly picked up his favorite braised pork ribs and advised seriously, “Have more. Otherwise, you’ll regret it.”
“Why?” Wen Yanqing did not understand.
“Just listen to me,” Lin Gantang said seriously.
After saying that, she peeled prawns for him, picked some food for him, and even scooped up a bowl of soup as if she wanted to fill him up.
Wen Rendong watched their interaction and could not help but relax his brows. Their relationship was good; it was something that a father would like to see.
After the three of them finished eating, Lin Gantang went to the washroom. The Wen family’s father-son pair sat on the sofa in silence.
“Are you going to the Lin residence later? Bring some gifts.”
“I did.”
“You and Gantang…”
“I’ll inform you on the day of our wedding. You don’t have to ask about Gantang and me. We’ll make our own decisions.” Wen Yanqing raised his head and looked at Wen Rendong with his usual distant expression. “I’m not here today because you’re my father. I’m here because I’ll accompany Gantang through the process from dating to marriage.”
“It’s the same, in my opinion.” Wen Rendong’s smile also faded.
“It’s different. If I told you that we’re not getting married and will be in a relationship for the rest of our lives, that we wouldn’t have children and become a dual-income-no-kids couple, would you still treat Gantang as kindly as you did today?” Wen Yanqing questioned.
“Will you?” Wen Rendong shook his head. “You can’t wait to keep her by your side, right? What else can make you feel more at ease than a legal procedure like marriage registration?”
“What happens after that? Even if I coax her into marrying me and then she gives birth to a girl, will you still be satisfied? You don’t like girls, do you?” Wen Yanqing mocked. “I don’t understand why you keep obsessing about such unnecessary things. It’s really ridiculous.”
“If your concern is sincere, I also hope that we can get along well.” Wen Yanqing heard Lin Gantang’s footsteps and narrowed his eyes. “I hate you for letting my mother down, but I’m more afraid that you’ll affect my child. As long as you don’t take back your self-righteousness, I don’t want to stay here..”
