After My Rebirth, I Escaped My Marriage

Chapter 972: Chapter 972: Is This What A Real Mum Would Do?

Ever since Xing You had warned her, Lin Gantang, pregnant with a child, dared not take any risks, so she stayed at home to nurture the pregnancy, making sure to have someone accompany her whenever she went out.

Lin Gantang knew she was just an ordinary person; even if she had lived a life before, she remained just a normal person.

Having lived up to this point, many things had already changed from her previous life. She had no ability to foresee the future and had no idea where dangers might be lurking.

Lin Gantang was very self-aware. When she realized her own abilities were lacking, she knew she should be obedient and leave matters to capable people. She couldn’t act recklessly, charging forward to face dangers like a naïve girl and cause trouble for Wen Yanqing.

After speaking to Wen Yanqing about this matter, Wen Yanqing showed her the results of the investigation he had conducted during this period.

Feng Yangyang was cunning enough to get off scot-free. Just like the last time, even though they knew the arson case might be related to Feng Yangyang, they could do nothing without evidence.

This time, if they weren’t completely certain of a direct hit, then they couldn’t afford to act rashly and alarm the snake in the grass.

Lin Gantang kept an eye on Feng Yangyang’s movements. She didn’t notice any abnormal behavior, but instead, she saw that Feng Yangyang seemed rather close with Xing You lately.

Wen Yanqing told her to relax, so Lin Gantang waited patiently, trusting him immensely.

A few days prior, Ye Qiuqiu had received the down jacket Lin Gantang bought for her. Lin Gantang received a video call from her, and she saw Qianqian sleeping next to her.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Hang up, so we don’t wake Qianqian,” Lin Gantang said, lowering her voice subconsciously.

“It’s fine, she’s sleeping so deeply, even thunder wouldn’t wake her,” Ye Qiuqiu said. She then directly reached out and touched her little girl to prove she wasn’t lying to her.

Lin Gantang: “…” Is this what a mother does?

Ye Qiuqiu wiped the sweat from Qianqian’s forehead from sleeping and said, “Why suddenly buy clothes for Qianqian? You’ve gone to unnecessary expense again.”

Although the tags were cut off from the clothes, Ye Qiuqiu could feel their quality; they were exceptionally good and certainly not cheap.

“I bought them because they seemed right. The clothes are both light and warm. Kids are active, so wearing something too heavy and burdensome isn’t as comfortable. Remember to dress her in them when it gets colder.”

Lin Gantang hummed, “Besides, do you think being a godmother is just something you say? Of course, I have to treat her well.”

Seeing this, Ye Qiuqiu said nothing more. Lin Gantang cared for her daughter, and she would do the same for Gantang’s child in the future. Affection was mutual, a fact Ye Qiuqiu understood well.

“But if you feel embarrassed, shall I give you a way to thank me?” Lin Gantang looked around to make sure Wen Yanqing wasn’t nearby and whispered into the phone, “Could you send me some of your candy?”

Ye Qiuqiu decisively refused, “No way, your husband has already called me and said I can’t give you candy.”

Lin Gantang: “!!” When had he done that?

“Just endure it for now. After you give birth, I’ll send you a whole sack,” Ye Qiuqiu said.

Lin Gantang sprawled on the sofa, fully aware that she had to endure. But it was precisely because she was holding back that her craving was growing stronger.

The occasional bit of candy she managed to eat couldn’t satisfy her.

Ye Qiuqiu eyed her suspiciously, “You haven’t been eating it secretly, have you? What’s your blood sugar now? Did you pass your prenatal checkup?”

“Get out of here, do I not know any better, like a child? Of course, the checkup results were all normal,” Lin Gantang said with a beaming smile, daydreaming, “With such a fondness for sweetness, the baby I’m carrying must surely be a sweet little girl.”

Ye Qiuqiu couldn’t help but feel exasperated.

“How’s work going for you? Is everything smooth?” Lin Gantang asked.

A month ago, Ye Qiuqiu had found a new job, but she was not in a great mood when talking about it, “I’ve got work, but my heart is always with Qianqian at home. I can’t concentrate on my tasks. I feel like it’s only a matter of time before I get fired.”
