Wen Chi gazed at Shu Pan as if his eyes could melt at the view of her, holding
Shu Pan’s hand. “I’ll help you with cooking.”
Amidst a rather leisurely and unhurried meal, it lasted until 8 0’clock. Later, he received a phone call regarding some urgent matters at the hospital where he worked, which forced him to leave.
As he departed, his reluctant expression was genuinely endearing.
“I’ve just become someone’s boyfriend, and I don’t want to go back to work,” he playfully complained, resembling a mischievous child.
“Quickly go back to work. Otherwise, you’ll be late, ” Shu Pan persuaded him.
Finally, Wen Chi left the house. Shu Pan patted her cheeks with both hands, feeling a lingering warmth.
The next day, Shu Pan opened the door and, hand in hand with Joy, walked downstairs, only to spot a black car parked by the roadside.
As they approached, the car window slowly rolled down, revealing Wen Chi’s weary face.
“Why are you here so early?” Shu Pan was a bit surprised.
“I just got off work, thought I’d drop you both off and then catch up on some sleep,” Wen Chi said with a cheerful smile. Even though he had stayed up late, all his fatigue seemed to dissipate when he saw them.
“Quit messing around, go back and get some rest. I’ll send Joy to school and then take the bus to work; it’s very convenient,” Shu Pan looked at him with a mixture of gratitude and concern.
“Hurry, get in. You’re running late,” Wen Chi got out of the car and lifted Joy inside.
Resignedly, Shu Pan joined them in the car.
When they reached the entrance of Shu Pan’s workplace, she got out of the car. After some parting words and admonishments from her, Wen Chi reluctantly turned away.
“How about dinner with you and Joy tonight?” Wen Chi suggested.
“Let’s talk about it later. You might have other plans or work to attend to,” Shu Pan waved her hand as she walked toward her workplace.
“Girl, I’m coming to your place for dinner tonight,” Ye Xiaomeng, who had just returned from a business trip, immediately wanted to visit Shu Pan’s house.
“You just got back from your business trip?” Shu Pan could hear the exhaustion in her voice.
“Yeah, I’m done with these trips to godforsaken places where even basic necessities are hard to come by. I’ll talk to you tonight,” Ye Xiaomeng hung up the phone in a hurry.
In the afternoon, Wen Chi sent a message saying he had to attend a meeting at the hospital and wouldn’t be free in the evening.
This worked out well because Xiaomeng was coming over, and Shu Pan wasn’t mentally prepared to introduce them.
After finishing her work, buying groceries, and preparing dinner, Xiaomeng arrived right around dinner time.
“I’m starving…” Xiaomeng began eating as soon as she sat down.
After a few more bites, she finally had some energy and put down her chopsticks.
“Girl, you’re too good. You’re a model wife and mother. If I were a guy, I’d definitely marry you,” Xiaomeng exclaimed with emotion.
“You’re just talking nonsense. One meal is no big deal.” Shu Pan smiled at her.
“Men have no taste. Look at Su Yuan, he gave up on you and married his current wife. I heard they’re having relationship issues and might get a divorce.” Shu Pan was a bit stunned when she heard what Xiaomeng said. When Su Yuan mentioned divorce, she didn’t take it seriously and thought he was joking. She didn’t expect him to actually consider it.
She owed Su Yuan money, and she had been repaying him little by little every month, promptly depositing it into his account. He initially had reservations but eventually accepted her persistence.
In fact, Su Yuan didn’t want her to repay the debt, and it seemed like their contact would dwindle after she repaid it.
“And then there’s Gu Shaoting, not knowing how to cherish. Girl, you deserve better. You must find happiness,” Xiaomeng grew angrier the more she spoke. Why did she keep running into these lousy men?
Shu Pan looked at Xiaomeng, baffled. They hadn’t even had any alcohol, yet she was talking nonsense.. Why bring up the past like this?
