Clean Break

Not long after, he saw Shu Pan and her daughter, hand in hand, returning.

Without hesitation, he opened the car door and walked towards them.

"Joy, did you miss Uncle Wen?" Wen Chi hugged Joy tightly, lifting her.

"Hehe, I missed you, Uncle Wen. How about coming to our place for dinner tonight? My mom is making cola chicken wings for me." Joy said, her mouth practically watering.

"Sure, I'd love to. I also want to see if they're as delicious as you say." Wen Chi spoke while gazing affectionately at Shu Pan, as if waiting for her approval.

Shu Pan patted Joy's little hand and said, "Come down and walk by yourself. Uncle Wen will get tired if you keep carrying you. Let's go." Shu Pan took the lead, and the two quickly followed.

After dinner, Joy went off to play on her own, giving Wen Chi a chance to talk to Shu Pan alone.
