Chapter 693: Chapter 693 She Really Listens to You

“What do you have to talk about with him?” Lin Gantang swept a displeased glance over Gu Zhichuan, “Later, you’ll say all kinds of nonsense and spoil the mood for both of us.”

“Just for a moment, I’ll discuss some matters between men with him, right here in the hospital,” Wen Yanqing said.

At his words, Lin Gantang’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she said no more. When she passed Gu Zhichuan holding Vitamin E, she shot him a warning glare.

Her unwavering protection of Wen Yanqing left Gu Zhichuan with mixed feelings. He reluctantly withdrew his gaze from Lin Gantang and said with either envy or mockery, “She really listens to you.”

“She used to listen to you just as well. If you told her to stand in the rain, she wouldn’t use an umbrella; if you told her to cry, she wouldn’t smile,” Wen Yanqing stabbed him in the heart with his words.

“Enough,” Gu Zhichuan said with a stern face, “Seeing her unaware, do you plan to keep her in the dark forever?”

“When did I ever say that? I have my plans, and I certainly don’t need an outsider like you to worry about them,” Wen Yanqing responded indifferently.

“Wen Yanqing, face it squarely,” Gu Zhichuan said coldly, “Thinkabout Lin Zhaonan, think about Uncle Lin. Knowing about your condition, would they really want their precious gem to marry you? Don’t delude yourself.”

Wen Yanqing’s face tightened at his words.

“If you haven’t figured out how to break the news, I can help you tell her,” Gu Zhichuan said, his gaze heavy, watching his reaction, “You interrupted me just now because you have no confidence, don’t you? Since you think she might not stay, why keep forcing the issue?”

Wen Yanqing suddenly sneered, “Gu Zhichuan, why the rush?”

“Do you think that if I let go, you’d have a chance?” Wen Yanqing said mockingly, “The emotional scars you caused Tangtang in the past made her keep her distance from you. Where do you find the confidence to believe she would accept you again?”

He lifted his eyelids; even though his vision was cloaked in darkness, he refused to show any weakness in front of Gu Zhichuan, “Even if I let go, and she chooses someone else, you, Gu Zhichuan, will never have another chance!”

“Go ahead and bring it up to her. I won’t stop you this time; let’s see if she pities me or chooses you, you sanctimonious hypocrite,” Wen Yanqing said coldly.

Gu Zhichuan kept gripping the handle of the cat carrier tighter.

The cat inside the carrier let out a faint meow, and Wen Yanqing looked down following the sound, as if seeing the cat itself: “Even if you keep a cat for her, she already has her own cat now. Things she once couldn’t have, she doesn’t care for anymore.”

Lin Gantang, holding vaccinated Vitamin E, observed the two standing at the entrance of the hospital. With a slight shift in her gaze, she quietly approached them.

“All your own speculation,” Gu Zhichuan retorted, a pain point struck, his thin lips pressed into a straight line.

Wen Yanqing’s expression had returned to calm, all his thoughts deeply concealed, as he spoke indifferently, “Even if I am deluding myself, so are you.”

At that moment, Gu Zhichuan’s phone rang urgently.

As he took out the phone intending to silence it, his glance fell upon the caller ID, which showed Secretary Pei had been calling repeatedly, likely something urgent.

Gu Zhichuan answered the call and heard her say, “Presiden Gu, please return to the company. There’s an issue with the accounts that requires your attention.”

Gu Zhichuan asked a few questions, said he would come over, and hung up the phone before fixing his scrutinizing gaze on Wen Yanqing.

Wen Yanqing, as if he knew something, dismissed it with a laugh, “What could I, a blind man, possibly do to meddle with your company’s affairs?”

Gu Zhichuan stared coldly at Wen Yanqing for a moment, then turned and left.
