Chapter 547: Why Did You Accept His Things?
Gu Zhichuan’s head was in a mess. He felt that Lin Gantang was telling the truth.
Lin Gantang was very easy to understand. When she loved him, she loved him and couldn’t see other men. Now that she liked Wen Yanqing, she didn’t give anyone else a chance. From the beginning to the end, her heart only had space for one. The person she liked was Wen Yanqing.
Now, she didn’t even say a single tender word to him.
She drew a clear line and said that it was because Wen Yanqing did not like it.
When Gu Zhichuan knew that he had lost such a precious relationship, he wanted to let it go, but later he realized that he could not let go. The regret, loneliness, and heartache made him unable to breathe, and he desperately wanted to redeem himself.
“You can’t…can’t reconsider it a little?” Gu Zhichuan’s voice became softer.
Lin Gantang’s words were hurtful. “Gu Zhichuan, I’m a thousand times happier being with him than with you. What else do I need to consider?”
Gu Zhichuan watched as she walked away from him, not even turning back once.
She was treating him the way he used to treat her – cold, distant, and uncaring. She would no longer bother about his feelings and would leave whenever she wanted to. All she left for him was her back view and words that pierced his heart.
Because she didn’t love him anymore.
Gu Zhichuan turned around in disappointment and left the bookstore alone.
Shi Muzhen looked at Gu Zhichuan’s dejected expression because of Lin Gantang, and her nails dug into the book.
She walked out from the side and followed Lin Gantang to the second floor.
She saw Lin Gantang carrying the cat out of the cage. The skinny cat that had been hiding at home and refusing to eat her cat food obediently let Lin Gantang handle it. It would be a lie to say that she wasn’t infuriated.
Just like Gu Zhichuan – he tried his best to curry favor with Lin Gantang, but he was like that lousy cat towards her, not allowing her to touch him at all.
Lin Gantang checked the cat’s body and found that it was very cooperative. It seemed that it was a beloved cat and was not afraid of her, a stranger.
Shi Muzhen walked soundlessly towards Lin Gantang. Lin Gantang noticed her from the corner of her eye and faced her with the cat in her arms.
“A cat from Zhichuan.” Shi Muzhen was expressionless. “You’re cherishing it rather a lot, holding it in your arms. You even said that you have nothing to do with him. Then why did you accept his things?”
Lin Gantang frowned. “I hope Miss Shi can get this straight. This is a lost cat. Mr. Gu asked the bookstore to help find its owner. He didn’t give it to me.” “Isn’t it the same? The bookstore is your bookstore. He found an excuse to make you accept his gift.” Shi Muzhen stared at the cat in her hand. “And you, accepted it.”
“Miss Shi is a little unreasonable. Are you here to find trouble today?” Lin Gantang asked frostily.
“I’m Gu Zhichuan’s fiancee. I have the right to ask about Zhichuan. Give me this cat.” Shi Muzhen lifted her chin slightly.
“You’re not the cat’s owner.” Lin Gantang refused.
“It was brought by Zhichuan.” Shi Muzhen’s face darkened.
“Then ask Gu Zhichuan to come and take it away.” Lin Gantang did not comply with her unreasonable request.
“Lin Gantang!” Shi Muzhen shouted angrily.
Lin Gantang looked at her indifferently.
“You said that you have Wen Yanqing! You said that you have nothing to do with Gu Zhichuan anymore!” Shi Muzhen took two steps forward. “Then why are you always with him? Why are you still haunting him!”
“Do you think I’m easy to bully? That’s why you’re repeatedly coming over and acting crazy.” Lin Gantang’s face turned cold. “Gu Zhichuan is a hot potato in your eyes, but he can’t be compared to a strand of Yanqing’s hair in my eyes. I hope you can control your man and not run to a woman to question her.”
