The French escargot and cream of mushroom soup at the restaurant were exceptionally delicious, considered signature dishes.
Shu Pan enjoyed her meal thoroughly, and watching her eat so enthusiastically, Wen Chi also found his appetite increasing.
As for Gu Shaoting, who was not far away, he had actually noticed Shu Pan since they entered the restaurant. Of course, he also saw the man sitting across from Shu Pan. Seeing the man’s handsome appearance and refined demeanor, he felt a mix of emotions and discomfort.
“Shaoting, what’s wrong? You seem a bit distracted,” Tong Fei’s gentle voice filled with concern.

“It’s nothing, just thinking about work,” Gu Shaoting replied casually, not wanting to engage in further conversation.
Tong Fei lowered her head obediently and continued eating, refraining from asking more questions, as she knew that pressing further wouldn’t yield any answers.
Tong Fei ate slowly, taking small spoonfuls, as models needed to maintain their figures and couldn’t indulge in large meals. Her stomach had become accustomed to small portions, and she would feel full after just a little.
Seeing her eating like a bird, Gu Shaoting lost his appetite as well, especially after the scene he witnessed earlier. He put down his spoon.
“Shaoting, I heard from Auntie that your villa in Tongyuan is under renovation. Can I visit it sometime when you’re free? I also enjoy reading about interior design,” Tong Fei tentatively inquired.
She had heard from Auntie that Gu Shaoting was renovating the villa, probably preparing a new home. She felt delighted, thinking that Gu Shaoting hadn’t told her about it to give her a surprise.
But she couldn’t help mentioning it, as she thought about becoming the mistress of the villa in the future. She wanted to see if the interior design matched her taste.
“Oh, you can visit when you have time. I’ve entrusted the renovation to a company,” Gu Shaoting replied casually, downplaying it.
“Okay,” Tong Fei replied softly.
After Wen Chi and Shu Pan finished their meal, Wen Chi signaled the waiter to pay the bill, and then they left.
Gu Shaoting looked at the empty seats, feeling like something was missing, an emptiness in his heart.
He couldn’t help but wonder if all men had this kind of feeling, that even if they didn’t want a woman, they still didn’t want to see her with someone else?
Was that man Shu Pan’s boyfriend or suitor? He saw the affection in Wen Chi’s eyes, a gaze that a man directed at a woman, so passionate and affectionate. Before long, Gu Shaoting also settled the bill and then drove Tong Fei home.

“Ming, come out for a drink now, at our usual place,” Gu Shaoting didn’t want to go back to his empty home.
“Sure, I’ll be there in a moment.” For He Ming, whose nightlife was quite active, this kind of request was easy to fulfill.
When He Ming arrived, Gu Shaoting was sitting on the sofa, legs crossed, and a cigarette in his mouth.
“What’s wrong, Brother Ting? You look troubled. Tell your brother what’s bothering you, and I’ll analyze it for you, ” He Ming said nonchalantly.
“Am I supposed to feel happy that you find my troubles amusing? Are you trying to make fun of me?” Gu Shaoting’s gaze pierced like an arrow.
He Ming quickly raised his hands in a surrendering gesture and said,
“Misunderstanding! I wouldn’t dare. I just can’t figure it out. The corporation is thriving, you have a beautiful woman, and you’re on the path to settling down..
What could be bothering you?”
