The reporters werenât that easy to dismiss. They were obviously not satisfied with Tong Feiâs answer.
They kept pressing her.
Fortunately, the restaurant owner saw the commotion and rushed over. He then said apologetically, âMs. Tong is my VIP today. Please donât disturb her.
Please give me some face and enjoy the dishes weâve prepared for you over there. Thank you.â
The restaurant ownerâs words were reasonable. Since it was his opening night, it would be rude to say anything, so the reporters moved away.
Only then did the restaurant owner say with a guilty look on his face, âTong
Fei, sorry for the trouble.â
Tong Fei smiled. âOld Zhang, youâre being too polite.â
âHmm⦠Shaoting is here too, uh⦠With his friends.â The restaurant owner said vaguely.
Tong Fei was ecstatic. She knew that Old Zhang and Gu Shaoting were close and Old Zhang would definitely invite him, so she agreed to come and try her Plus, there were reporters here today⦠As she expected.
She suppressed her elation and didnât show it on her face as she replied casually, âOh? Heâs here too. Iâll go and say hi later.â
âUm⦠Thereâs no hurryâ¦â Tong Fei was a little confused at Old Zhangâs stutter.
âIs it inconvenient?â She could not help but ask.
âHeâs having dinner with his friends.â Old Zhang made an inviting gesture and Tong Fei walked into the private room that Old Zhang had prepared for her. A few of her friends were already inside.
They ate and drank for a while, and then Tong Fei went to the bathroom. On her way back, she asked a waiter and found out where Gu Shaoting and his friends were. She followed the waiterâs instructions and headed in his direction.
She suddenly stopped in her tracks as she approached their table, her eyes fixed on the scene before her.
It was a scene of a happy family having dinner. The mother was picking up food for the child while the father smiled knowingly as he watched. Then, the father scooped a bowl of soup for the mother and asked the mother to drink it quickly while he fed the child.
They looked like a happy family to anyone. Tong Fei actually lost the courage to approach them.
The scene really messed up her head because the Gu Shaoting she knew was never so family-oriented and gentle.
He always had a cold look on his face, so she couldnât believe her eyes.
It turned out that he could be gentle, just not with her.
She then looked at Shu Pan with a vicious gaze. It was all because of her that Shaoting did not want to be with her. He used to be so good to her that she would occasionally reminisced about their good times together.
Tong Fei noticed that the reporters had been looking at her. She pretended not to see them and turned to go back to her private room.
She gave up on the idea of saying hi to Gu Shaoting.
After getting back to her private room, Tong Fei quickly collected herself and chatted and laughed with the dinner companions.
Gu Shaoting had been taking care of Joy, and the little girl was getting attached to him.
Shu Pan would be lying if she said she wasnât moved by Gu Shaotingâs eager attempts to please her and Joy.
However, could her already scarred heart still love someone?
She still couldnât let go of the hurt that Gu Shaoting had caused her, so she couldnât respond to him.
But she was grateful for his involvement in Joyâs life. After all, he had lost his memory yet he could treat Joy as his own.
She looked at the man and child, who looked alike, and their question-and-answer conversation. She fell into deep thought.
âEat more. Why are you in a daze?â Gu Shaoting couldnât help but asked when he saw that she wasnât eating.
âWill do.â Shu Pan slowly picked up her chopsticks and started eating..
