After that hug, Lin Gantang felt that something had changed in her heart.

Every time she unlocked her phone, she checked for messages from Wen Yanqing. In her free moments, she found herself thinking about Wen Yanqing’s smile. When she received a goodnight call from Wen Yanqing before bedtime, she would toss and turn in bed for a while before finding calmness.

Lin Gantang rubbed her face and quickly found something to occupy herself with. contemporary romance

She located several pet adoption centers. While she was busy with her search, Bei Bei informed her that her father had the car driven back, the same one she and Xu Bingxi had used, and it had been followed once again.

However, this time, the driver was a bodyguard hired by Mr. Bei. He intentionally allowed the pursuer to approach and then intercepted them unexpectedly.

Unfortunately, the person being followed was very cautious and abandoned the car before escaping. Mr. Bei reported the incident to the police, and they discovered that the white Honda was a stolen vehicle.

“I’m staying at home now and don’t dare to go out. I just hope we can find that person soon,” Bei Bei’s voice on the phone lacked her usual cheerfulness. It seemed like the incident had left her quite frightened.

Lin Gantang reassured her for a long while.

The following day, Lin Gantang continued her work at the bookstore.

The bookstore had been thoroughly cleaned inside and out. Although environmentally friendly materials had been used for the renovation, Lin Gantang arranged for a professional company to conduct tests to ensure that harmful gases remained within safe limits for the health of the employees, customers, and cats.

Lin Gantang felt relieved and contacted the book suppliers she had previously arranged with to have the books delivered.

Afterward, Lin Gantang visited the adoption center.

Upon hearing her requirements, the staff led her to see the cats.

Some of the cats were confined in cages, while others roamed freely outside. The cats’ fur was clean, but not particularly smooth or shiny.

“These free-roaming cats have been with us the longest, and they are not afraid of humans. Nowadays, many people prefer to purchase cats from breeders, as we have fewer breeds here, mostly local cats. The attractive ones are easier to find new owners for,” the manager explained.

“Which cats have milder temperaments?” Lin Gantang inquired.

The manager picked up a calico cat.

This particular calico cat had a rather unconventional appearance, with an irregular black pattern around its left eye, a disordered orange pattern on its right ear, and a patch of black marring its otherwise white chin, giving its appearance a somewhat distorted look.

“It’s been at the adoption center for two years and has the best temperament. Perhaps it’s also been hoping for someone to take it home, which is why it’s always well-behaved,” the manager sighed. “But unfortunately, its appearance doesn’t seem to appeal to those who come to adopt. If you’re not interested, 1 can introduce you to other cats.”

The manager placed the calico cat on the table. She had her hopes, wanting this well-behaved cat to find a home, so whenever someone visited, she would introduce this cat and extol its virtues.

Regrettably, no one had shown interest.

The calico cat wasn’t shy at all. Lin Gantang extended her hand, and it affectionately rubbed against her.

Lin Gantang hugged it, and the calico meowed, gazing at her with its yellow eyes.

“How old is it?” Lin Gantang asked.

“It’s almost three years old.”

Lin Gantang gently placed it back on the ground. The manager appeared somewhat disappointed, but quickly regained her enthusiasm and began introducing Lin Gantang to other cats.

Lin Gantang walked around. Most of the cats were not particularly friendly, but there were a few that allowed her to pet them. The cats she brought home would become her companions, and Lin Gantang hoped to find ones that would like her.

However, it was evident that the cats were more interested in the freeze-dried chicken breast she held in her hand.

Only the calico cat remained by her side, unwilling to leave.

Lin Gantang didn’t know whether to laugh or sigh. Would this unique-looking calico cat scare away her customers?

She decided to take it with her. “I take it home..”
