Chapter 8: At least I Still Have a Chance
"Gantang?" The man\'s voice was a little hoarse, as if he had just woken up or was drunk.
When he didn\'t hear anyone respond, he became anxious. "Gantang, what\'s wrong? Say something."
Hearing his voice again, Lin Gantang didn\'t know how to describe the myriad feelings in her heart.
Perhaps it was because of that dream, or perhaps it was because the urge to call him had disappeared, Lin Gantang didn\'t know where to start now.
"Did you drink? You..." Lin Gantang stuttered, not knowing what to say.
She recalled Shi Jun\'s angry words over the phone, begging her to let Wen Yanqing off.
Could this phone call make Wen Yanqing stop thinking about her? Or would it pull him into an abyss instead?
What she owed Wen Yanqing was not something that could be repaid with a few words over the phone.
Lin Gantang felt a little self-loathing. "Stop drinking."
Far away in a foreign land.
The heavy curtains blocked out the light, and the room was dark and silent. The strong smell of alcohol filled the entire space.
Wen Yanqing thought that he was dreaming.
Otherwise, why would he have missed calls from her? Otherwise, why would Lin Gantang answer his call?
He swayed from the alcohol and sat up with difficulty, repeatedly looking at his phone\'s call history.
A glimmer of hope was ignited.
Wen Yanqing flew back.
When Shi Jun heard the news, he had mixed feelings.
"Didn\'t you say that you wanted to expand your overseas market and settle down abroad?" Shi Jun contacted Wen Yanqing immediately.
"There\'s something more important here."
Shi Jun paused for a moment, not even needing to think to know who could make his good friend give up so easily. "Lin Gantang contacted you?"
"Yes."
"What did she say?" Shi Jun gritted his teeth.
"She didn\'t say anything."
"Then you rushed back? Have you not learned your lesson? Can you wake up!"
Shi Jun was furious.
"At least I still have a chance."
After Shi Jun heard his words, he exhaled deeply, "Wen Yanqing! You\'ll die in her hands sooner or later!"
Lin Gantang found out from other people\'s friends that Wen Yanqing had returned to the country.
She had not gotten any sleep and had thought about it the whole night.
She had thought many things through. Although she was physically exhausted, her mind was unusually clear.
She sent Wen Yanqing a message, asking him to make a trip to Beaver Square\'s elegant dining restaurant at 12 pm. She had something to say to him.
At around 11 am, Lin Gantang checked out of the room and went over. She arrived almost ten minutes earlier.
Lin Gantang saw Wen Yanqing the moment she entered.
He seemed to like wearing white shirts very much, his rolled up sleeves revealing a watch on his left wrist.
He waited quietly for a long time.
His gentle gaze never showed any impatience towards her.
Lin Gantang did not know why Wen Yanqing liked her so much, so desperately.
"Sorry, I\'m late." Lin Gantang sat opposite him.
"Are you hungry? I\'ve ordered some dishes. Come and have some." Wen Yanqing said gently.
Lin Gantang looked at the dishes served by the service staff. They were all her favorite light flavors.
Lin Gantang\'s eyes dimmed slightly. She had ignored Wen Yanqing in the past and naturally ignored everything he had done for her.
Even Gu Zhichuan, whom she had loved unconscionably, thought that she liked spicy food.
When she opened her eyes and compared them, she realized how stupid she was.
"I asked you over today..."
"Why don\'t we eat first?" Wen Yanqing interrupted her with a cautious pleading look in his eyes.
It was as if he was extremely afraid that she would mercilessly leave after speaking her mind.
