Yin Zhen shivered, feeling goosebumps traveling up her arm and down her spine when she heard the pet name Lin Gantang had for her.
Lin Gantang had called her Yin Zhen, Miss Yin, and just that one with the surname Yin before. She had even used worst when they fought, but what the hell was this ‘Zhenzhen’ business? And to use such a saccharine tone…!
Was this the power of love? Had she been driven crazy? Why else would she behave so coquettishly?
“… I’m sorry, but I think you’ve got the wrong person.” Yin Zhen’s expression was hard to describe. “Are you done playing the fool? If you were bullied, why haven’t you gone to Wen Yanqing?”
“Get lost, you’re the fool!” Lin Gantang harrumphed. “But that aside, hasn’t Lin Fan contacted you? No? Are you sure?”
“I’m glad you’re back to normal…” Yin Zhen heaved a sigh of relief. “What about Lin Fan? We’re not a thing anymore. Is that why you’ve called? What are you doing with him?”
Was that so? Who was it who said she did not mind finding a stepfather for her child after she broke up with her ex? Not only had she abstained from sexual intimacy with other men, but she also kept a poster of Lin Gan at home! Moreover, whenever she saw him in public, she would steal a few glances as if she could not get enough of him.
“I met Lin Fan at the mall just now and saw him being…” Lin Gantang thought she was stubborn, but someone else rivaled or even beat her.
Before Lin Gantang could finish, she saw Lin Fan shaking his head at her.
Lin Fan did not want Yin Zhen to know about the matter.
Lin Gaantang’s mouth snapped shut.
“What’s wrong with him?” Yin Zhen asked.
“He won’t let me say it. Forget it. I won’t say it.” Lin Gantang shrugged.
“Don’t be like that! You’ve already begun; you can’t leave me hanging like that! Lin Gantang, if you don’t spit it out, I’ll give you a good beating!” Yin Zhen seethed.
Lin Gantang snorted. “You aren’t even with him. Why are you so anxious? Okay, I’m hanging up now…”
“Hang your head! Hurry up and finish your sentence!”
Yin Zhen felt that she might have overreacted. She took a deep breath and said, “Lin Fan is an artist under contract with my company. If he encounters trouble, the company will do its best to help him resolve it.”
“My, my… What a good reason you’ve devised! Ah, never mind. I could never…! There’s no need to disturb President Yin with such a small matter… Having one of your subordinates take care of it should be more than enough. Goodbye.”
Lin Gantang hung up.
Yin Zhen was furious. This was exactly why she often quarreled with Lin Gantang over the years. Lin Gantang had the amazing ability to infuriate people with the slightest gesture or word.
Yin Zhen phoned her despicable friend of many years. When Lin Gantang saw the incoming call, she cocked a brow and showed it to Lin Fan.
When Lin Fan saw this, his face lit up, but it quickly drooped again. “Forget it. I don’t want to cause trouble for President Yin. I’ll tell Brother Fan about this. I believe he will help me.”
Yu Fan’s ability and character were good. When he learned about it, he would surely think of some way to resolve the situation. Lin Gantang guessed that, with Yin Zhen’s present attitude, she was unlikely to ignore what was happening to Lin Fan.
Lin Gantang had nothing else to worry about. “You should be more careful when you go out in the future,” she said. “I’ll head home first. How about you? Would you like a lift?”
“No need, no need.” Lin Fan waved his hands. He knew Lin Gantang had called her good friend, Yin Zhen, to help him. They had only met a few times, yet Lin Gantang went so far as to help him. It was already his good fortune, and he did not dare ask for more.
Lin Fan politely bade her farewell. Lin Gantang looked at his departing figure and sighed. What a sensible child. What was Yin Zhen doing? Why did she have to take the bumpy path of love? Tsk.
Just then, her stomach rumbled, and Lin Gantang remembered she had not eaten yet. No sooner had she found a Western restaurant to dine in than Wen Yanqing called.
“Hello, darling,” Lin Gantang said sweetly.
“Where are you?” Wen Yanqing asked.
“I’m at home.” Lin Gantang was lying through her teeth.
“Is that so?”
“Of course.”
Wen Yanqing chuckled and did not say anything. His laughter made Lin Gantang feel a little guilty.
There was no way he knew where she was, right? How could he have discovered otherwise?
