Mrs. Wen, seeing Wen Chi remain silent, grew increasingly frustrated. This extended to some resentment towards Shu Pan.
"Mom, don't worry. Maybe she doesn't find your son appealing," Wen Chi joked, pretending to be nonchalant.
"My son is outstanding. If she doesn't see it, it's her problem," Mrs. Wen defended, unwilling to hear anyone speak ill of her son.
Wen Chi could only smile bitterly; nothing he said seemed right.
"Mom, I won't be home for dinner tonight. Don't wait for me," Wen Chi quickly changed the subject, realizing that discussing this further would lead nowhere.

After work in the afternoon, Shu Pan swiped her card to leave the office and noticed Wen Chi's car parked at the company entrance. Walking over, she saw Wen Chi had already stepped out of the car.
"I'm picking up Joy and going straight to her. Why did you come?" Shu Pan was surprised that Wen Chi hadn't informed her of his visit.
