âHoney, whatâs troubling you?â Wen Chi asked cautiously. He had just been fine last night, so why was he gloomy today?
Gu Huanhuan was usually straightforward. She had intended to confront him about whether he had been going on dates with beauties behind her back, but she thought better of it and held back. She hadnât pointed it out initially, and now it was too late.
âItâs nothing, Iâm just a bit tired today,â Gu Huanhuanâs tone remained the same.
âWhereâs my sweet baby?â Wen Chi asked.
âJust fell asleep.â Wen Chi asked one question, and Gu Huanhuan answered only that much. Even someone as slow as Wen Chi could tell that Gu Huanhuan was angry with him. Usually, if there was something bothering her, she wouldnât stop chattering about it.
But he hadnât upset her, had he? Their phone conversation last night had been perfectly normal.
However, understanding a womanâs heart is like searching for a needle in the ocean, something he just couldnât figure out.
He couldnât help but smile bitterly.
âIf youâre too busy to come back, Iâll try to find some time to visit the set. Take care of yourself,â Wen Chi was still as gentle as ever.
âHmm.â After hanging up the phone, Gu Huanhuan sent a message to Shu Pan, saying she was back and wanted to stay at her place for a couple of days.
Shu Pan was definitely very welcoming.
Gu Huanhuan checked the time, feeling tired herself, so she took a nap with her daughter.
They didnât wake up until almost 5 PM.
Soon, everyone else was back home too.
It had been a while since Gu Huanhuan had seen Shu Pan, so the first time she saw her, she couldnât stop complimenting her.
âCousin-in-law, you look younger and more beautiful; my brother must be feeling threatened,â Gu Huanhuan said while holding an apple in her hand, taking bites as she spoke.
âFlatterer.â Any woman would be happy to receive compliments. âIs Wen Chi on a business trip?â
Shu Pan typically guessed that it was when Wen Chi was away that Huanhuan would come over.
Gu Huanhuan was taken aback for a moment before managing a forced smile, âHeâs been busy.â
Her words were somewhat vague.
âHeâs doing it all for you and your daughter, working harder,â Shu Pan chimed in supportively.
Gu Huanhuan nodded. Shu Pan always felt something was off, wondering if there had been a conflict between her and Wen Chi.
She would call Wen Chi later to ask.
Wen Chi finished work unusually early today, and his afternoon had gone smoothly.@@novelbin@@
When he took off his white coat, Song Ying was already standing there, smiling gracefully, enchanting and attractive in her demeanor.
âLetâs go, Gao Jie is already waiting for us,â Song Ying said.
âOkay,â Wen Chi nodded slightly.
The two walked together, a handsome man and a pretty woman, indeed a perfect match, drawing envious glances from everyone.
The dinner was at a high-end Cantonese restaurant; with Gao Jie coordinating, the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Song Ying was natural and graceful, every gesture showing her upbringing and restraint.
Wen Chi was turned slightly, chatting with Gao Jie.
The three of them ate and talked, and soon it was almost over when suddenly a phone rang.
âItâs yours, buddy,â Gao Jie pointed at the phone.
Wen Chi picked up to see that Shu Pan was calling, which was unusual. He wondered what it could be about?
He apologized, then picked up the phone and walked aside.
âChi, are you on a business trip?â Shu Pan cut straight to the chase.
âNo, I just finished work and am having dinner with some friends. Any issues?â Wen Chi casually responded, his hand in his pocket.
âWeird, then why is Huanhuan here with Warm Sunlight saying she wants to stay here for a couple of days? You two didnât have a fight, did you?â Shu Pan found it strange.
