After hanging up with Shu Pan, Gu Shaoting checked the ti and realized it was still early. He rembered he hadn’t contacted Song Can in a long ti, so he picked up the phone and dialed her number.
“What? Do you still rember I’m your mother?” Song Can’s voice carried a hint of sarcasm.
“Mom, why do you always say such hurtful things?” Gu Shaoting replied gently.
“What do you care about for? Just focus on your wife and child.” Song Can’s voice softened slightly upon hearing Gu Shaoting’s tone.
“I’ll co back to spend ti with you when I have the chance.” Gu Shaoting sighed. Changing Song Can’s mindset would probably be difficult.
“I wouldn’t dare to trouble you.” Song Can said, feeling a bit resentful.
“Alright, mom, take care of yourself.” Gu Shaoting felt frustrated with his mother’s attitude and realized there was no point in continuing the conversation.
As soon as he hung up, He Ming walked in.
“Brother Ting, since you’re going ho to an empty house, why don’t we go out for a drink?” He Ming suggested, feeling a bit bored and wanting soone to chat with.
“Sure.” Gu Shaoting grabbed his jacket and left with He Ming.
They decided to have hot pot, mainly because it allowed them to eat slowly without worrying about the food getting cold.
“Shu Pan has only been gone for a day, and you’re already like this, Ting. I kinda miss the old you.” He Ming noticed Gu Shaoting’s distracted deanor.
“I’m just not used to it.” Gu Shaoting nodded.
He Ming remained silent, pouring himself a glass of beer.
“What about you? When are you planning to get married?” Gu Shaoting asked, concerned. He had been preoccupied with his own affairs with Shu Pan lately and felt he had neglected his friend.
“Married? Haha, that’s still a distant dream. My mom hasn’t given her blessing yet, and Xiaong feels pressured since she’s not pregnant.” He Ming replied, feeling frustrated.
Xiaong was out traveling, and when he called her today, she said she was shopping and didn’t have ti. She had been acting hot and cold towards him lately, and he didn’t understand why.
“It’s tough. My mom has objections too, but I can’t yield this ti. I’ve already lost once, and I can’t afford another mishap.” Gu Shaoting shook his head, knowing the age-old problem of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law issues.
“I want to register with Xiaong first, but she refuses. She wants to register after getting pregnant, but pregnancy isn’t sothing you can plan for. Who knows when that’ll happen?” He Ming lanted, feeling overwheld by his situation.
“Sotis we need to take a stand and not always listen to won.” Gu Shaoting shared his experience.
“Yeah, I need to stand firm,” He Ming agreed.
They clinked their glasses in agreent.
anwhile, Shu Pan and Ye Xiaong, who were traveling, were also having a great ti.
Ye Xiaong indeed rented a luxurious villa, fully equipped with everything they needed, even allowing them to cook for themselves.
“Xiaong, co and eat,” Shu Pan called out.
“We’re not ho, but n can have fun too. He Ming just sent a picture of him and Gu Shaoting drinking,” Ye Xiaong walked over and handed her phone to Shu Pan.
Seeing Gu Shaoting in the picture made Shu Pan miss him even more.
“It’s okay to relax occasionally,” Shu Pan said nonchalantly, realizing they must be out drinking, explaining the lack of phone calls.
“Co on, let’s have a drink too,” she said, opening the fridge and taking out two bottles of beer.
“Yeah, cheers!” Shu Pan exclaid happily.
The sisters indulged themselves in eating and drinking.
