Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After settling the book list, Lin Gantang went to the second floor to look for exercise books. This was a birthday present that Hong Shuangying had asked her to prepare for her schooling child.

Lin Gantang looked at the title of the book that she had sent and the large stack of books in front of her and fell into deep thought. This gift…No one would want it, right?

The child at home was so ‘touched’ that they were about to cry.

Hong Shuangying would come over to get it when she had the time. Lin Gantang picked up the books and prepared to give it to her when the time came. After taking a few steps, Joy suddenly appeared out of nowhere and brushed past her feet.

Lin Gantang almost stepped on it. Shocked, she dodged and spilled half of the exercise books on the ground. She squatted down to pick them up. Someone in front of her bent down and reached out to help her pick them up one by one.

Lin Gantang looked up. It was Gu Zhichuan.

Gu Zhichuan picked up all the books, smiled at her, and put them back in her hands.

“Thank you,” Lin Gantang said.

“You’re welcome.”

Gu Zhichuan did not say much. Seeing that she was about to leave, he turned sideways to let her go. He acted like an ordinary guest and helped her out.

He was polite and stayed within his lane; his tone and attitude were friendly. He no longer looked cold and arrogant. Lin Gantang could not say anything unpleasant. She thanked him and continued to work.

Gu Zhichuan did not look for her, as if he was really here to buy books.

It was better if he didn’t cause any trouble, so Lin Gantang threw it to the back of her mind in the blink of an eye.

Lin Gantang saw Gu Zhichuan, but she did not see Shi Muzhen.

Shi Muzhen stood in a quiet corner and watched as Gu Zhichuan rushed forward to help. She saw Gu Zhichuan staring at Lin Gantang’s back as she turned around and saw the reluctance in his eyes.

Shi Muzhen recalled Feng Yangyang’s words. If Gu Zhichuan could not let go of Lin Gantang, then it would never be possible for her.

Gu Zhichuan was busy with work and could not stay in the bookstore all day. Not long after he left, Shi Muzhen came out and stood in the bookstore, deep in thought.

She walked to Lin Gantang’s side.

Lin Gantang did not have a good impression of her. Because she had been slandering her in the high school class group chat, she was a little cold. “What do you need? Feel free to take a look around.”

“I need to talk to you,” Shi Muzhen called out to her when she saw that she was about to leave after giving her a perfunctory reply.

Lin Gantang stopped in her tracks.

“I saw it just now. Zhichuan is looking for you again.” Shi Muzhen’s heart sank. “It’s not just once. Sometimes, when you’re not around, he’ll come over as well.”

“Just say what you want to say.” Lin Gantang didn’t have time to listen to her beat around the bush.

“I like him, and he likes you. I know that you will definitely draw a clear line between you and him, right?” Shi Muzhen was anxious to hear an affirmative answer from her.

“That’s right. Not only that, but I also like someone else, so there’s no possibility of me being with Gu Zhichuan anymore. I wonder if you’re relieved now?” Lin Gantang answered patiently.

“I knew you would say that. But he still likes you. What should I do?” Shi Muzhen sighed.

“What do you think you should do?” Each and every one of them insisted on looking for her. She was already tired of saying that she didn’t like Gu Zhichuan, yet they still came looking for her. Lin Gantang was impatient.

“I don’t know. I’m so flustered.” Shi Muzhen walked closer to her. “Why are you the daughter of the Lin family? If you were an ordinary person, I would have let you go, asking you to go far away and never let Gu Zhichuan see you again.” Was this something a normal person would say? “Yes, but unfortunately, I’m the daughter of the Lin family. If it doesn’t work, you should change your path. Tie Gu Zhichuan to your side so that he can’t leave. That way, he will belong to you alone, forever and ever.”

Shi Muzhen’s eyes flashed. She was tempted..
