After My Rebirth, I Escaped My Marriage

Chapter 768: Battle Until Dawn

In the night, after Wen Yanqing had fallen asleep, Lin Gantang opened her eyes, carefully extracting herself from his embrace.

Today she was determined to get to the bottom of it and find out which cat was disturbing her dear husband’s sleep in the wee hours.

Waiting around was too boring, so she took out her phone, put on her earphones, and prepared to play a few games; to her surprise, she found that her father’s gaming account was online.

Lin Gantang checked the time and thought to herself, had her dad become an internet addict in his old age?

She tiptoed out of bed and walked to the balcony to dial Mr. Lin’s number.

“Tangtang, you’re still up? What’s up?”

“I’m calling to tell you to go to bed.”

There was a pause on Mr. Lin’s side, “Humph, I went to bed early and it was your phone call that woke me up.”

“Hehe, Dad, did you forget that you added me as a friend in the game?” Lin Gantang said.

Mr. Lin was caught off guard but then argued defiantly, “You’re also up late, why are you meddling with me?”

“I’m only up because I have something to do tonight. I was wondering how your gaming account leveled up so fast. No staying up late! Otherwise, I’ll have my brother set the Wi-Fi to time-restricted access.”

“Ha! Lin Gantang, you’ve grown bold, haven’t you? If you cut off the internet, I’ll just use data!”

Lin Gantang felt at that moment her dad was like a rebellious child, “Fine, you want to play? I’ll play with you. Whoever stops first is a wimp.”

Lin Gantang decisively hung up the call and sat down on the balcony chair, fired up the game, and invited her father to team up.

Her dad’s gaming skills had improved dramatically; he must have spent a lot of time practicing, and judging by his account, who knows how much money he had spent on in-game purchases, Lin Gantang sniffed disdainfully.

Two hours blinked by.

Lin Gantang plugged in her phone to charge and continued playing, noticing her dad’s reactions becoming slower, she called him, “Dad, getting sleepy? Not really, right? Come on, have a cup of coffee to perk up; let’s battle till dawn!”

After half an hour more of playing, Lin Gantang called again, “What’s going on? Why aren’t you moving? What are you doing, just standing there? Dad, hurry up!”

An hour later, all was silent outside the villa, with only the streetlights shining. Lin Gantang dialed again, “Dad! Dad! Come on, let’s get hyped up!”

“Bugger off, I’m already asleep!” Her normally gentle father cursed.

Lin Gantang ignored his anger, “Alright, I’ll look for you at six tomorrow. Don’t flake on me, dear dad.”

Before she hung up the call, Lin Gantang faintly heard her dad let out a roar.

Tsk, can’t handle the night-life but trying to act young.

She hadn’t been back in bed for long when she heard a cat’s meow, and then something landed softly on the floor with a clink.

Lin Gantang left a night light on as she walked out of the room and started the night-time recording.

The scene showed cats running amok in the living room staircase area, zooming up and down like little rockets, darting left and right.

The whole house belonged to the feline masters.

Lin Gantang walked forward, and the sound of her footsteps made the cats in the dark halt; following the dim light from the room’s night light, she saw four pairs of glowing eyes all looking at her.

Lin Gantang flipped on the light to see Vitamin E leap down from a high spot, Ximi looking at her with a tilted head, and Big Mi sitting with paws together in place.

So you’ve learned to play nice now?

No wonder Yanqing said it was disturbing his sleep—the midnight revelry would disturb anyone.

Lin Gantang decided she would definitely play with them tomorrow until they were panting like dogs.

“Keep running, and there’ll be no chicken breast for you this week!” Lin Gantang warned.

Vitamin E: “yu~”

“No fish either!”

Vitamin E: “miaow~”

“I don’t want to chat with you in the middle of the night,” Lin Gantang said sternly, “Behave yourselves and go back to your places.”

There was no way they were going to just sit still. Lin Gantang returned to her room and closed the door. Blackie silently strolled in the darkness, Ximi lay at the staircase entrance, a paw blocking the tabby cat who attempted to run up.
