The bookstore was close to her residence. Lin Gantang arrived at the shop early, but Qian Ruoxi had arrived even earlier. When Lin Gangtang entered the shop, she saw Qian Ruoxi combing the cats’ fur and carefully gathering the fallen fur.

“You’re here so early. It’s not even business hours yet.” Lin Gantang was surprised.

Qian Ruoxi smiled. “I like them very much. I won’t have time to accompany them when I get busy later.

“By the way, Boss, fans of the author, Qian Ying, contacted our bookstore and said that they hope to hold a small meet-and-greet for readers here. If possible, someone will come over to discuss and make preparations,” Qian Ruoxi said.

“You can make the specific arrangements. If you need help, just come to me.”

Lin Gantang walked around the bookstore and opened for business.

Before the customers came, Lin Gantang pulled out the latest monthly income statement and analyzed it carefully.

In the blink of an eye, the bookstore had been open for almost half a year. Book sales were increasing by the day. Several stray cats had also been adopted. It was about time to make a follow-up video.

Lin Gantang was still thinking about the bookstore when she got home at night, so she didn’t notice Lin Zhaonan entering the door behind her. He was in a hurry to enter and accidentally bumped into Lin Gantang.

Lin Gantang snapped back to her senses after knocking into him. She raised her head and realized that he had an anxious expression on his face.

What’s wrong?

Lin Gantang came in and saw Jiang Tongtong sitting on the sofa wiping her tears. She instantly understood.

Jiang Tongtong must have just returned from her parents’ place. Lin Gantang did not know what she was crying about. She watched her brother busy coaxing his wife, but he failed to do so. The more he talked, the more tears flowed down Jiang Tongtong’s face.

Lin Gantang silently took the half-filled plate of tangerines from the coffee table and sat at the side, peeling them while looking at them.

“It’s really not what you think. I have nothing to do with her. I just helped her up when she fell,” Lin Zhaonan explained anxiously.

The tip of Jiang Tongtong nose was red, and so were her eyes. “There were so many people; why did she have to fall toward you? Were you helping her up? You two were hugging!”

Lin Gantang thought, “Oh.”

“She’s an important client of mine,” Lin Zhaonan said. “I can’t just watch her fall in front of me, can I? And I didn’t break any rules.”

“You didn’t; what about her? You have her lipstick on your clothes!” Jiang Tongtong brushed her tears away angrily.

Lin Gantang thought to herself, “Exciting.”

“She accidentally rubbed the lipstick on when she fell,” Lin Zhaonan said.

Jiang Tongtong cried even harder. “You say it’s okay, but in reality, you’re defending her! If you care so much about her, then scram and go look for her!”

Lin Zhaonan couldn’t explain himself. He got upset as well. “I didn’t. What do you want me to say to make you believe me?”

“You don’t even have any patience with me now? How can I believe you when you shout like that!” Jiang Tongtong wiped her tears.

Lin Zhaonan grabbed his hair in annoyance.

Lin Gantang silently ate the fruit. “You’re trying to reason with a woman. You don’t want to enter your wife’s room tonight.”

Lin Zhaonan’s gaze finally landed on Lin Gantang, who was eating tangerines while watching the show. He was even more displeased. He said to Jiang Tongtong, “I’m not arguing with you here. Let’s go back to our room.”

Lin Gantang chuckled. “Brother, you’re about to be finished.”

Sure enough, Jiang Tongtong threw the sofa pillow angrily at Lin Zhaonan’s face. “Who wants to go back to the room with you! I shouldn’t have come back! You can go back by yourself. You can go wherever you want! I can’t be bothered about you anymore!”

Lin Zhaonan’s face had a dark expression. He grabbed her arm. “Come with me to look for her now. I’ll ask her to explain everything to you.”

“Let go!” Jiang Tongtong struggled hard..
