“Does my brother know?” Lin Gantang sat beside her.
Jiang Tongtong nodded. “I told him that I’m going to look for a job.”
“No, I’m asking if he knows how you’re feeling right now. Did you communicate to him that you’re feeling uncomfortable and anxious?” asked Lin Gantang.
“He’s already very busy with work. I don’t want to pass these negative emotions on to him. Besides,” Jiang Tongtong said, “I can get rid of my emotions by myself. I’ll probably be fine when I’m done with work and have no time to think about things.”
Lin Gantang frowned when she heard this.
She had never been a mother before, so she had never experienced the emotional changes after childbirth and the shift in focus from the husband and wife to the child. She could not think of a way to comfort Jiang Tongtong, but she also knew that Lin Zhaonan might have overlooked this matter and neglected Jiang Tongtong’s psychological changes.
“It’s still better to have a heart-to-heart talk with my brother,” Lin Gantang suggested. “He’s busy, but he cares about you. The family definitely won’t object to your work. If you think that work will make you feel more fulfilled, then go for it. Everyone will support you.”
Jiang Tongtong revealed a smile.
“Then are you going to work at the family’s company?” Lin Gantang asked.
“I want to go to an external company,” she said.
“Why don’t you go to Shengfang?” Lin Gantang thought for a while. “You have a good education background and work experience. There are many departments in Shengfang; there will definitely be a position suitable for you. I’ll talk to Yanqing and arrange it.”
“Then what’s the difference between that and me working at the family’s company?” Jiang Tongtong chuckled.
“Sigh, I don’t understand you. I’d definitely find a comfortable position if I were you,” Lin Gantang said lazily. “It’s so nice to have someone to take care of me.” Too bad, she had no interest in the family business and only wanted to happily pet cats.
“Oh right, this is for you.” Lin Gantang remembered the dolls she had specially brought and handed it to Jiang Tongtong.
Jiang Tongtong took them out curiously. When she saw the two dolls, she asked happily, “Is this Zhaonan?”
I’ve found a soulmate! “Doesn’t it look just like him?” Lin Gantang asked excitedly.
“Yes, it looks like him.” Jiang Tongtong laughed heartily.
Lin Gantang was very pleased with herself. “Yanqing said that my brother might not like it. Come, Tongtong, put it in the most eye-catching position, such that my brother can see it every day.”
Jiang Tongtong touched the other doll that looked like her. Her eyes curved into crescents as she smiled. “Sure. They’re so cute. Of course, we have to display them.”
The two of them chatted for a while. Little Yi’an woke up and cried. Jiang Tongtong carried him and comforted him. Auntie Ke heard the noise and came in to get some milk powder.
It was still early, so Wen Yanqing would not come over so soon. Lin Gantang saw the small garden from upstairs and went back to her room to get a hat before briskly going downstairs.
A warm and delicate red blossomed among the dark green branches and leaves. The layers of petals slowly opened under the sunlight, and the unopened flower buds also looked delicate and cute.
A gentle breeze blew, and a butterfly flew over.
Lin Gantang leaned over and sniffed. The faint fragrance was pleasant.
With a smile on her face, she cut off a few branches, fixed the thorns, and held them in her arms.
Just as she was about to return to her room, she vaguely heard a conversation not far away. One of them was Mr. Lin’s voice.
Her father was back?
Lin Gantang walked over. Not only did she see Mr. Lin, but she also saw Lin Mingqing standing in front of him.
Lin Mingqing stood dejectedly. Lin Gantang heard him say, “Second brother, please help me. Yanhui’s mother is seriously ill. Can you help me contact an authoritative doctor? I can’t find any connections, so I can only come and beg you..”
