During dinner, Joy sat beside Shu Pan, chattering away like a little sparrow.
“Mom, try the fish. It’s so delicious! Grandpa caught it from the pond. Look, eating this fish made me grow so tall!” Joy said, gesturing with her hand while speaking.
“Wow, really? You’ve grown so much taller! That’s amazing!” Shu Pan exaggeratedly agreed, and Joy giggled in response.
“Joy is such a good child. After dinner, you can go play with your dolls,” Lu Lifen patted Joy’s head.
Shu Pan knew that Auntie Lu probably had something to discuss, so she diverted Joy’s attention.
“Alright, Mom, eat quickly, and then you can play with me later,” Joy pleaded.
“Okay, I’ll play with you after I finish my meal,” Shu Pan promised.
As Joy moved away, Lu Lifen looked at Shu Pan with a serious expression and said, “Panpan, you’ve been divorced for almost four years now, and you’re approaching your thirties. You should start thinking about your own life. Tell me, how do you feel about Dr. Wen, who visited our house last time? Do you think he’s interested in you?”
“Auntie Lu, you’re overthinking it. Dr. Wen is just a friend. Besides, I have Joy to take care of, and we need to think about our next meal. I don’t think it’s necessary to pursue a relationship right now. Love is also a matter of fate,” Shu Pan replied sincerely.
“Ah, my dear, why do you make it so difficult for yourself? It’s all because of your father.” Shu Laide said, feeling genuinely remorseful. He had always believed that Shu Pan’s current situation was partly his fault, as Gu Shaoting had treated his daughter this way because of him.
“Dad, you’re talking nonsense again. It’s an issue between the two of us, and it’s not about anyone else,” Shu Pan hurriedly reassured him.
In recent years, her father’s health had declined, and he often felt down because of this matter.
After spending two days in Lotus Town, Shu Pan returned to Bin City and received a call from Dr. Wen. Over the past few years, Dr. Wen had visited Lotus Town twice and had become tamiliar With Shu Pan’s tamily.
“Shu Pan, where are you?” Dr. Wen’s voice came through the phone.
“I just returned from Lotus Town. Is there something you need?” Shu Pan asked as she entered her house with her belongings.
“Why didn’t you tell me you were going to Lotus Town? I could have driven you there. I haven’t seen little Joy in a long time,” Dr. Wen scolded.
“It was a last-minute decision. I’ll let you know next time,” Shu Pan replied dismissively. In truth, she wanted to maintain some distance from Dr. Wen. It was impossible, and she didn’t want to hold him back.
“How about having dinner together tonight? We haven’t seen each other in a long time. Are you free?” Dr. Wen asked Shu Pan.
“I just got back, and I’m a bit tired. If you don’t mind, you can come to my place for dinner tonight. I happen to have brought back some fish that my dad caught,” Shu Pan said, not wanting to disappoint him.
“That’s great! I don’t mind at all. I’m not picky. I’ll eat anything,” Dr. Wen happily exclaimed.
“Okay, then. Let me freshen up, and you can come over later.”
“Sounds good. See you in a bit.”
After hanging up the phone, Dr. Wen prepared to buy two boxes of chocolates to bring to Shu Pan. He had heard from hospital nurses that chocolates were the most romantic gift to give to a loved one.
When Dr. Wen arrived, Shu Pan had already prepared a meal with three dishes and a soup. The braised fish, in particular, looked incredibly appetizing.
Dr. Wen sat at the dining table and, without caring about his appearance, began to eat with his chopsticks. Shu Pan shook her head and smiled.
Finally, Dr. Wen looked up and said, “Shu Pan, anyone who marries you is incredibly lucky.” As he spoke, he cast a sideways glance at Shu Pan with his eyes..
