Chapter 420: Wen Chi Was Bombed

Gu Shaoting’s remark implied that he allowed them to meet generously because of their daughter, Joy. So, he advised Shu Pan not to consider herself the main character; she was just a supporting role accompanying their daughter.

Unable to resist, Shu Pan rolled her eyes at him. This petty man left her speechless.

Silently, Shu Pan turned and walked towards the company. With every step, her skirt danced elegantly, appearing quite stunning. Gu Shaoting, gazing at her retreating figure, was lost in thought, momentarily unable to snap out of it.

His woman was indeed beautiful. It would be even more perfect if he worried about her less on ordinary days.

Shu Pan returned to the office. Shortly after sitting down, she received a text from Gu Shaoting. Upon checking, she discovered the address of the restaurant. Wow, the restaurant he booked was the most luxurious private dining place in the city, only open to VIP guests, with an annual fee running into millions.

Gu Shaoting had taken her there once before, and she had protested, insisting they shouldn’t visit such an expensive place again.

Who knew how much money they’d spend on just one meal?

Why did he choose such a high-end restaurant this time? To show off to Wen Chi? To assert dominance? Such childish behavior.

Nevertheless, looking on the bright side, maybe he genuinely wanted to express gratitude to Wen Chi.

Shu Pan shook her head, dismissing these questions.

After receiving the message, Shu Pan forwarded it to Wen Chi.

Wen Chi, at home, was enduring Mrs. Wen’s “torture” when he received the text. He glanced at it, and his expression froze.

He had heard of this restaurant, exclusively open to VIP members. Clearly, Shu Pan didn’t make the reservation; it was probably Mr. Gu, that hostile figure.

Dealing with him would be challenging.

“Wen Chi, are you even listening to me?” Mrs. Wen couldn’t help raising her voice, noticing Wen Chi lost in thought and unaware of what she was saying.

Mrs. Wen had been deeply concerned. He was talented, performed well at work, so why didn’t he have a girlfriend?

“What did you say?” Wen Chi snapped back to reality, asking somewhat dazed.

Mrs. Wen glared at him impatiently. “When will you seriously get a girlfriend? You used to talk about being busy and focusing on your career. Fine, I didn’t press you then, but now that you’re back, it’s time to consider this matter seriously.”

Despite her earnest advice, sometimes talking to him was like talking to a wall; he never seemed to listen.

“Mum, I know what I’m doing. Don’t worry,” Wen Chi consoled.

“Why shouldn’t I worry? People your age already have kids, ” Mrs. Wen was agitated. How could she not worry?

“Are you still thinking about that Shu Pan?” Mrs. Wen suddenly thought of that name, asking with uncertainty.

She stared at Wen Chi, wanting to see his reaction. As expected, Wen Chi gently smiled, “Shu Pan is a good girl.”

Mrs. Wen’s face immediately darkened. She knew it. No wonder he refused to talk about having a girlfriend. He was still thinking about Shu Pan.

It’s not that she thought Shu Pan wasn’t good, but she felt Shu Pan wasn’t suitable for her son. Her son, who was so outstanding, would be ridiculed by relatives and friends if he chose a divorced woman with a daughter. She had even approached Shu Pan before, and she had promised not to have any entanglements with Wen Chi. Was she going back on her word? Otherwise, how could this foolish boy remain so infatuated?

The more Mrs. Wen thought about it, the more anxious she became. How could she make Wen Chi change his mind?

“I know she’s a good girl, but she’s not suitable for you. You better give up on her. I won’t agree. If you insist on being with her, don’t call me ‘mom’ anymore,” Mrs. Wen threatened.

Wen Chi felt bitter. Even if he wanted to be with her now, he wasn’t sure if he had a chance..
