Chapter 198 - 198: Sorry, I Mind
Yin He sighed and put the jewelry box back into his coat pocket. “It’s normal for Miss Lin to have concerns and not accept it. I’ve been presumptuous.”
He waited for the night breeze to blow, looked at her clothes, removed his coat, and handed it to her in a gentlemanly manner. “I wonder how long Miss Lin will have to wait. Why don’t you put on some clothes to keep warm first? Miss Lin had earlier rejected the offer because of the value of the gemstone, so there’s nothing to worry about with such an ordinary coat, right?”
Lin Gantang raised an eyebrow.
Seeing that she didn’t reach out to take it, Yin He wasn’t in a hurry. Instead, he said kindly, “Although Yin Zhen and I have some issues, the relationship between the Yin and Lin families has always been there. Miss Lin, you don’t have too overthink it. If you don’t mind…”
Lin Gantang reached out and twirled his jacket with two fingers.
Yin He thought she had accepted the offer. He maintained his gentlemanly attitude, but his eyes flashed.
Of course, he knew that Lin Gantang wouldn’t accept his gemstone necklace, but was the necklace his intention? No, it was this coat.
There was no girl who didn’t like others to care about her. What he wanted was to have a little contact with Lin Gantang first and then slowly work it out from there.
Unexpectedly, Lin Gantang did not put the coat on herself. Instead, she changed directions and moved it to the right.
Her fair hands were as white as snow under the light in front of the hotel. She looked at him and released the coat from her two fingers in front of him, causing it to fall on the steps.
“I’m sorry,” Lin Gantang smiled. “I mind.”
The coat lay on the ground in a mess. The jewelry box in the pocket rolled out, and the ruby fell to the ground.
Lin Gantang took out a tissue paper and wiped her fingers slowly.
Yin He felt insulted and his face turned pale.
He quickly controlled his emotions and looked up with his gaze unchanged. He smiled. “Miss Lin is really an interesting person.
“In that case, I won’t disturb Miss Lin’s peace. I’ll take my leave now.” Yin He bent down to pick up his coat. “Have a good night, Miss Lin.”
Yin He left, deliberately leaving the ruby necklace on the ground.
Lin Gantang glanced at him and called the auctioneer over.
Under the dim light in the corner, a red dot shone. Yin He lit a cigarette and watched the staff pick up and take the necklace away.
“Lin Gantang is more hot-tempered than I thought.” Yin He held the cigarette butt but didn’t smoke it.
Tan Huiya came out from behind him. “If her feelings changed so quickly, she wouldn’t have chased after Gu Zhichuan without looking at others.”
“It’s alright. It’ll be easy to get her,” Yin He sneered. “There’s no point in snatching.”
“There will be plenty of opportunities in the future.” Tan Huiya took out her phone and showed it to him. “There’s no rush to know Wen Yanqing’s current address. Give me his email address.”
In the photo album on her phone, there were a few photos of Lin Gantang and Gu Hejun talking and smiling happily. There were also photos of the two of them walking very closely together from a good angle.
Just now, when he had been talking to Lin Gantang, Yin He’s face wasn’t in the shots, but Lin Gantang’s action of taking his coat was very clear.
Yin He instantly understood what Tan Huiya was trying to do.
He returned the phone to her. “Alright, I’ll send you the information.”
When Lin Gantang and her father returned home, she removed her makeup and took a shower. It was already past eleven o’clock.
She collapsed on the bed and found that Ye Qiuqiu had sent her several messages while she was showering.
“I’m so sad. I told you that 1 might get a promotion at the end of the year, but it’s gone.
“After getting pregnant, I didn’t have enough energy and couldn’t keep up with the work. I even took a leave of absence. The higher-ups appointed another person as the supervisor.
“On the contrary, Haobo became the manager. His mother was so happy that she added a few more dishes.”
Her mood between the lines was quite low..
