Bab 143: Jealousy

"Pan, Auntie knows you're a good girl, but you and Wen Chi really aren't a good match. Auntie hopes you can understand my motherly love," Mrs. Wen spoke in a gentler tone.

Shu Pan nodded but felt a deep sense of discomfort.

Back at home, Wen Chi happened to arrive.

"Pan, get Joy ready. I'm taking you both out for dinner at a friend's restaurant," Wen Chi announced with a cheerful smile.

Pretending like everything was normal, Shu Pan looked at Wen Chi, feeling torn inside. She knew she was about to disappoint him.

Wen Chi and Shu Pan came out with Joy, appearing to be a lovely and harmonious family in the eyes of outsiders.

This was particularly true for Gu Shaoting, who had been spending time near Shu Pan's building, observing them from a distance whenever he had a chance.
