They had dinner outside before returning home. Joy urged Shu Pan to quickly call Uncle Wen to check if he was available tomorrow night.
Shu Pan dialed Wen Chi's number, telling him that Joy missed him and inquiring about his availability for the next evening. Wen Chi readily agreed.
Wen Chi initially suggested he would make the restaurant reservation, but Shu Pan promptly intervened. She knew Gu Shaoting's character well – when he said he would handle it, it meant he would, and she didn't want any potential complications later on.
It was usually a minor matter where they met; she just followed his lead. It was rare for him to agree willingly.
Shu Pan informed him that she had already booked a restaurant and would text him the details later. Wen Chi acknowledged with understanding.
Watching them chat comfortably, Gu Shaoting felt uncomfortable. He couldn't fathom why he willingly arranged for his loved ones to meet his romantic rival.
