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.

“Xiaopan, I want to apologize on behalf of my mother for making you feel uncomfortable,” Wen Chi said sincerely, abandoning his usual carefree demeanor.

“Chi, don’t blame Auntie. She’s also thinking about you. Indeed, it’s hard for someone to accept me like this, and I can understand it,” Shu Pan comforted him, speaking the truth.

“Pan, I’m sorry for putting you through this. I’ll talk to my mother again, and I hope you won’t give up,” Wen Chi felt sorry for her, seeing how much she was suffering.

Ye Xiaomeng had initially planned to go see Shu Pan and comfort her, but as she was about to leave, she received a call from her mother.

“Mengmeng, Cheng Yang came to our house again today. What exactly are you thinking? If you don’t want to give him a chance, just make it clear. Every time he brings over gifts, it’s inappropriate for the neighbors to see. Don’t drag it out,” Mother Ye earnestly advised.

“Mom, it’s impossible between him and me. I’ll talk to him clearly,” Ye Xiaomeng replied, feeling uneasy.

“Alright, that’s good. It’s been a long time since this happened. Everyone should forget about it and live well. Look around and see if there’s anyone better for you. Seize the opportunity,” Mother Ye was genuinely concerned about her daughter’s future.

“I understand, Mom. Don’t worry,” Ye Xiaomeng felt she hadn’t been a good daughter.

After hanging up, she felt it was time to have a clear conversation with Cheng

Yang.

As she was contemplating, she immediately called Cheng Yang.

“Xiaomeng, this is great! You finally called me,” Cheng Yang sounded ecstatic as soon as he heard Xiaomeng’s voice.

“Do you have time tomorrow? Let’s meet after work and talk,” Ye Xiaomeng said calmly.

“Sure, how about Gathered Dragon? Can we meet there?” Cheng Yang’s voice trembled with excitement.

“Okay.” Ye Xiaomeng hung up the phone.

On the other end, Cheng Yang continued to hold the phone for a long time without putting it down.

After ending the call, Ye Xiaomeng fell into deep thought. This time, she had to make a clean break. She had been single for a long time, and Cheng Yang might have thought she couldn’t let go, so things had remained unresolved. It was better to cut the ties and move on with their lives.

When Ye Xiaomeng arrived at Gathered Dragon, Cheng Yang had been waiting for her for a while.

“Xiaomeng, take a look at the menu. What would you like to eat?” Cheng Yang handed the menu to Ye Xiaomeng warmly.

“Anything is fine. You can order,” Ye Xiaomeng said indifferently.

Cheng Yang smiled awkwardly and said, “Alright, I’ll decide then.”

He ordered dishes that he knew Ye Xiaomeng liked. During the meal, neither of them spoke.

Finally, Ye Xiaomeng broke the silence. “Cheng Yang, please don’t come to my house anymore. It’s impossible between us..”
