Wen Chi heard Shu Pan’s response about considering it instead of an immediate rejection, and a smile appeared on his face. “I may have been impulsive. Alright, take your time to think, but I won’t accept a refusal.”

Shu Pan couldn’t help but find his domineering response somewhat amusing.

Since it was getting late, Joy had worn herself out from playing and fell asleep on Shu Pan’s lap once they were back in the car.

Wen Chi dropped them off at their doorstep. “Wen Chi, thank you for spending the day with Joy. It’s clear she had a great time,” Shu Pan sincerely thanked him.

“What nonsense are you talking about? I really like Joy. I’ll treat her as my own,” Wen Chi understood what mattered to Shu Pan, and he made a commitment.

Indeed, when Shu Pan heard this, she was deeply moved. At this moment, she didn’t know how to respond. She pretended to reach for the car door with her hand, but Wen Chi had already stepped out of the car to open the door for her.

Bending down, he reached out to take Joy from Shu Pan’s arms. Although Joy was still small, holding her for a while had made Shu Pan’s hands feel a bit numb.

After placing Joy on the bed, Wen Chi checked the time. He told Shu Pan that he had some matters to attend to and would contact her later.

Once he left, Shu Pan slumped onto the sofa. Her thoughts returned to Wen Chi’s sudden confession, and even now, she found it hard to believe.

She was grateful to Wen Chi and felt a certain fondness for him, but it wasn’t love. She didn’t immediately accept Wen Chi because of this. It wouldn’t be fair to him either.

She felt overwhelmed with confusion and decided to go with the flow for now.

Gu Shaoting had been bombarded with calls from Song Can, urging him to return home. He had been quite busy at work lately, but he couldn’t withstand her relentless phone calls.

As soon as he arrived at the Gu family’s mansion, he saw Song Can sitting in the living room. “Mom, couldn’t you have discussed whatever it is over the phone?” Gu Shaoting asked, seeing her relaxed demeanor and sensing that it wasn’t an urgent matter.

“Do you remember that I’m your mother? You’re so busy that you don’t have time to come home,” Song Can said, slightly irritated.

“Are you more concerned about making money or your lifelong commitment?” Song Can became increasingly frustrated with his seemingly nonchalant attitude toward marriage.

“Mom, there’s no rush. Marriage is something that should happen naturally,” Gu Shaoting replied, feeling a headache coming on. His mother took this matter very seriously.

“Shaoting, you agreed to date Tong Fei of your own accord. No one forced you. You’ve been together for several years now, and it’s not going anywhere. That girl can’t afford to wait forever,” Song Can grew increasingly agitated as she spoke.

“Are you still thinking about Shu pan? Is that why you keep procrastinating?” Song Can believed this was highly likely, as Gu Shaoting had spent the past few years with only Shu Pan or Tong Fei.

Gu Shaoting remained silent, neither confirming nor explaining. His demeanor made Song Can even more frustrated. She had a kind of exasperated resentment, feeling that he was being very uncooperative.

“As the president of the Gu Group, do you really need to obsess over a lower-class woman like her, or the one you abandoned?” Song Can didn’t like

Shu Pan at all, finding her petty and not fit for the role of her son’s wife.

“Mom, you’re going too far with your words. What do you want from me?” Gu Shaoting was truly at a loss with Song Can. His thoughts were now a tangled mess, and he could no longer understand his own heart..
