He Ming suddenly looked at Gu Shaoting with a strange expression. “Brother Ting, do you think your behavior is normal? It seems like whenever Shu Pan is mentioned, you tend to lose control. Do you like Shu Pan?”

He Ming asked cautiously.

“I’m not sure. Probably, whenever I see Shu Pan now or anything related to her is mentioned, I feel my heart racing, and I seem to lose control,” Gu Shaoting sounded somewhat lost, his handsome face displaying a hint of confusion.

“But aren’t you engaged to Tong Fei? This…” He Ming found the whole situation quite messy.

“Alright, let’s drop it. Let’s go,” Gu Shaoting said and started walking ahead, ignoring He Ming. He Ming felt somewhat puzzled and had to quicken his pace to catch up.

Shu Pan and Joy returned reluctantly from Lotus Town to Bin City in the afternoon, where the warm sunlight lazily bathed the surroundings.

Shu Pan was about to go out to buy groceries when Wen Chi’s call came in. “Pan, what are you up to? Have you made up your mind? Can you give me an answer?”

Wen Chi had been feeling restless these past few days, not contacting Shu Pan and hoping to give her time to think. Today, unable to endure any longer and seeing that Shu Pan hadn’t contacted him either, he started to feel anxious and quickly made the call.

“Do you have time tonight? Come over for dinner,” Shu Pan didn’t provide a direct response.

“I’m free. It’s been a while since I had your home-cooked meal. I want to have your braised fish,” he wasn’t being shy about it at all.

“Alright, see you tonight,” she hung up the phone, and Shu Pan couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She had made up her mind, decided to give herself and Wen Chi a chance. Regardless of what might happen in the future, she wanted to make the most of the present.

With a clear decision in mind, she felt much lighter and didn’t need to be constantly entangled in this matter.

In the evening, Wen Chi arrived. He was wearing a checkered shirt with a beige cardigan over it, paired with khaki-colored casual pants. He looked refined and cultured. His fair and smooth skin, captivating peach-blossom eyes, straight nose, and charming curves made him quite eye-catching.

Shu Pan once again marveled at how fortunate she was to have earned his affection. She couldn’t help but wonder about the good karma she must have accumulated over several lifetimes.

“Joy, look at what Uncle Wen brought for you,” Wen Chi, after entering the house, put down the bag he was carrying and took out a set of Peppa Pig plush toys from one of the bags.

Seeing them, Joy’s face lit up with joy. “Uncle Wen, thank you! I love them. I’ll sleep with them tonight.’

“Why do you keep buying her toys? She already has so many. You’re spoiling her,” Shu Pan playfully scolded Wen Chi while smiling.

“It’s alright, girls need to be pampered, to be spoiled like little princesses,” Wen Chi looked at Joy indulgently.

Shu Pan shook her head, helpless against him. She knew that saying more wouldn’t make a difference.

With the toys in hand, Joy happily went back to her room to play. Wen Chi, with his charming peach-blossom eyes, looked directly at Shu Pan, saying, “Be my girlfriend, Pan.”

Wen Chi’s tone was gentle yet firm.

“Are you sure? I’m not really deserving of…” Shu Pan hadn’t finished her sentence when Wen Chi covered her mouth with his hand.

“I’m absolutely sure. Promise me, let me take care of you and Joy, Pan,” Wen Chi’s words seemed to carry a magical force that made it impossible to refuse.

“Okay,” Shu Pan nodded shyly.

With a joyful expression, Wen Chi lifted Shu Pan into his arms and twirled her around.

“Put me down, quickly. I’ll cook for you both,” Shu Pan’s cheeks were flushed with embarrassment..
