It should have been after the busiest time around noon, so the noodles were quickly brought out.

Looking at the slender noodles, mixed with minced meat, garnished with chopped scallions, it truly opened up one’s appetite.

“Hey, how are things between you and Gu Shaoting?” Ye Xiaomeng finally remembered this question after taking a bite of noodles.

Shu Pan took a sip of soup and then put down her spoon. “Same as usual.” She didn’t want her friend to worry about her.

“So what’s his stance now? He doesn’t want a divorce, but he doesn’t care about you either. He takes care of your needs when he feels like it, and then he pretends nothing happened afterward. Who does he think he is? Does he think the world revolves around him? I couldn’t have imagined he’d be such a shameless person!” Ye Xiaomeng got more animated as she spoke.

“What’s the difference between his behavior now and that of a patron? No, wait, even patrons have to pay, right? He just comes back to sleep with you whenever he wants and ignores you when he doesn’t?”

“Mind your prenatal education, Xiaomeng,” Shu Pan said, looking at Ye Xiaomeng’s impassioned state, both amused and exasperated.

“Don’t worry, I’m fine,” Shu Pan quickly reassured her. “By the way, how about you and Cheng Yang?”

“He got promoted. He’s a department manager now, but he’s also busier. He’s been going on business trips frequently recently,” Ye Xiaomeng stirred her noodles with chopsticks and then began eating enthusiastically.

“That’s not bad. With a higher salary, there will be less pressure raising a kid,” Shu Pan reflected.

“Hey,” Ye Xiaomeng held Shu Pan’s hand and smiled slightly, “there’s no challenge you can’t overcome. When one door closes, another one will surely open for you.”

“Well, I hope so. I suddenly need to use the restroom. Wait for me here,” Shu Pan suddenly said.

“Sure, be careful,” Xiaomeng cautioned.

As she walked down the corridor, nearing the corner where the restroom was located, Shu Pan noticed a man standing at the entrance of the women’s restroom. She assumed he was waiting for his wife or girlfriend. Not paying much attention, she was about to enter when she glanced over and was utterly shocked by what she saw.

It was truly unbelievable. Standing at the door, waiting for someone, was none other than Cheng Yang, who was supposed to be away on a business trip. Of course, he couldn’t be waiting for Xiaomeng because they had just been together.

Clearly, Cheng Yang was as dumbfounded as she was, but his expression was more panicked.

Shu Pan fixed her gaze on him, her eyebrows furrowing.

“Why are you here? Who are you waiting for?” Shu Pan couldn’t help asking.

“I’m waiting for a friend, a childhood neighbor. We grew up together. She’s divorced now and alone here, so I’m helping her,” Cheng Yang quickly explained.

He knew that Shu Pan and Ye Xiaomeng were close friends, and if Xiaomeng found out about this, it would definitely blow up.

Just as Shu Pan was about to speak again, a woman came out of the restroom. She had a petite face, flowing long hair, delicate features, and was dressed in a knee-length belted khaki coat with knee-high boots. Her elegance and charm were evident in every move.

Such a beauty would tug at the hearts of women, not to mention men.

A woman as captivating as this, with a hint of vulnerability, would make anyone instinctively want to protect her.

The woman passed by Shu Pan and linked arms with Cheng Yang, giving a slight smile as she said, “Let’s go. I want to have some Western food. I’m feeling a bit hungry.”

Cheng Yang cast a quick glance at Shu Pan, his lips parting slightly before nodding. There was a complex expression in his eyes that Shu Pan couldn’t decipher.

“Today, Xiaomeng and I are shopping here too. She’s waiting for me at the noodle shop over there,” Shu Pan couldn’t help but tell him..
