It was close to home and not far from his company.

If the bookstore was opened here, he could even visit her during his lunch break.

Wen Yanqing stood by the floor-to-ceiling window in his office, gazing into the distance, and his anticipation for the future grew stronger.

The interior design and construction matters were handled by professionals. She had already secured a source for books, so she was just waiting for the renovation to be completed. Since Jiang Tongtong was pregnant and Lin Zhaonan didn’t want a cat at home for the time being, Lin Gantang had to put the plan of adopting a cat on hold.

After all, she needed a place to bring the cats home.

Jiang Tongtong felt a bit regretful upon hearing this, so she returned to the room and playfully gave Lin Zhaonan a beating.

Lin Zhaonan felt puzzled and endured the playfully inflicted blows, eventually attributing it to the emotions of a pregnant woman.

Lin Gantang was organizing the shop’s regulations in her room. Handling the rules and regulations for book sales was straightforward since her family was well-versed in those matters. However, the care and “work” required for the cats needed to be meticulously planned.

Ye Qiuqiu finally removed her from the blacklist and sent three consecutive messages.

Ye Qiuqiu sent a message with a picture. “Sister, you might not believe this, but my Chinese mitten crab has turned into a lobster!”

“Both my mother-in-law and my husband are shocked!”

“Wake up, did you mistakenly tell me that you want to send crayfish?!”

Lin Gantang laughed. “Chinese mitten crabs won’t be plump until the end of September. Go ahead and eat the lobsters first. I had Auntie Zhang pick the freshest ones for you. 1’11 send you the Chinese mitten crabs later.”

Ye Qiuqiu sent a kneeling rejection emoji. “Don’t, big spender. Sorry for bothering you. I’m backing off.”

Lin Gantang chuckled. “Good sister, make the most of the freshness and cook them quickly.”

Ye Qiuqiu quipped. “You wasteful person, it’s all about money.” (My heart hurts, come and give my breasts a rub.jpg)

Lin Gantang knew that Ye Qiuqiu was genuinely kind-hearted, so she responded, “I’m planning to open a cat-themed bookstore. Once I make money, 1’11 treat you to even better things.”

Ye Qiuqiu, a cat enthusiast, was immediately distracted, “Kittens! Sister, can I come work for you now?”

Lin Gantang asked, “Isn’t your husband interested?”

Ye Qiuqiu replied, “I’m not deserving.”

Lin Gantang’s smile grew wider.

While everything was going smoothly for Lin Gantang, Shi Muzhen was having a streak of bad luck.

She had put a hallucinogenic drug in Gu Zhichuan’s cup. She had acquired it from a friend she knew from less reputable places. It was a small amount, actually a mixture of two substances, aphrodisiac and sedative.

Originally, her plan was for Gu Zhichuan to ingest it, become emotionally aroused, and then engage with her. Afterward, the sedative would take effect, giving her enough time to act.

However, her inexperience led to her downfall. She hadn’t foreseen the mistakes she would make.

When Gu Zhichuan woke up, he already suspected her.

She wept and swore, claiming that she had stayed by his side because she cared for him.

Gu Zhichuan lacked evidence, but his gaze grew colder as he looked at her.

Gu Zhichuan felt embarrassed and kept the incident from his family. Even Mrs. Gu remained unaware. Shi Muzhen felt that she still had a chance.

She arranged a chance meeting and accompanied Madam Gu to a beauty salon. Mrs. Gu sighed and grumbled about the arrogance of the Qin family. They had postponed their meeting twice. Clearly, they didn’t think highly of her son.

“1 wonder if rumors about Gu Zhichuan having someone outside have spread,” Mrs. Gu said with bitterness, “B*tch, she’s shamelessly living in my son’s house!”

Shi Muzhen’s eyes flickered as if she was very concerned about Mrs. Gu. “Brother Gu doesn’t own any other properties. He’s always at the North Mountain Villa. Auntie, don’t be upset. It’ll give you wrinkles.”

“It’s at Grampian Garden. I saw it with my own eyes!” Mrs. Gu fumed.

Shi Muzhen comforted Mrs. Gu, her eyes flickering uncertainly.. “Auntie, do you need my help?”
