The more Shu Pan thought about it, the more furrowed her brow became.

She thought to herself, she definitely couldn’t tell Xiaomeng about this; it might upset her and could even harm the baby in her womb.

But to act as if she hadn’t seen anything at all? She couldn’t accept that. What if He Ming really had something going on with that woman? Wouldn’t she be covering for him then?

She decided she had to warn him.

Lost in thought, Shu Pan didn’t even notice when Gu Shaoting returned to sit across from her.

Gu Shaoting waved his hand in front of her eyes, finally snapping her out of her reverie.

“What are you thinking about? You seem so lost,” Gu Shaoting asked, puzzled. He had only taken one phone call and returned, yet she seemed like a different person.

Weren’t they just fine during the performance and dinner?

“Shaoting, do you think all men like to play both sides? Saying one thing to your face and doing another behind your back?” Shu Pan couldn’t help but voice her doubts. She figured Gu Shaoting, being a man, would understand better.

“Hold on, dear, where did that come from? You’re painting everyone with the same brush. Not all men are like that,” Gu Shaoting thought to himself, feeling a bit defensive. After all, he wasn’t like that.

“Sorry, I spoke too generally. But I really can’t wrap my head around it. Look at the 8,” Shu Pan didn’t want to falsely accuse anyone. With Gu Shaoting as a witness, He Ming wouldn’t be able to play innocent.

Upon hearing Shu Pan’s words, Gu Shaoting turned curiously and looked in the direction she indicated. His expression changed as he saw He Ming dining with another woman, seemingly having a good time.

Of course, the woman wasn’t Xiaomeng, which explained Shu Pan’s strong reaction.

Gu Shaoting was quick to come to He Ming’s defense. “She’s probably just a friend. It’s normal for friends and classmates to have dinner together.”

Shu Pan remained silent, continuing to stare at Gu Shaoting. “So you’re telling me you’ve never taken a female friend out for dinner, especially not to a romantic Western restaurant like this?”

“No, I haven’t,” Gu Shaoting refuted.

He thought, “He Ming, I can’t help you with this anymore.” The atmosphere here was for couples on dates. The dim lighting and ambiguous ambiance spoke for themselves.

“But that doesn’t necessarily mean anything. I’ll find a time to ask him about it. After all, he treasures Xiaomeng like a treasure and wouldn’t do anything to betray her,” Gu Shaoting thought. He knew there were many fickle-hearted men out there, but He Ming wasn’t one of them.

“Let’s hope so, or I won’t let it go easily,” Shu Pan said firmly.

Because of He Ming’s situation, this little episode had also affected them.

Seeing that they had finished eating, Shu Pan didn’t feel entirely at ease, so Gu Shaoting decided to settle the bill and head home.

Before they left, they glanced at He Ming, who was still chatting away. Gu Shaoting could only feel sympathy for him.

“Oh, He Ming, there might be a class reunion next month,” Yao Ning suddenly remembered. “It’s organized by Liu Peng, you know, the chubby guy from before.”

“A class reunion? That sounds good. It’ll be nice to catch up with everyone,” He Ming nodded in agreement.

“Consider yourself invited, then. We’ll let you know the details later,” Yao Ning thought it would be another opportunity to see him.

“Okay, I’ll try to make time for it,” He Ming glanced at the time; it wasn’t early anymore.

“Are you full? Would you like dessert? Oh, right, girls usually love desserts. Let me order a dessert for you,” He Ming was truly thoughtful. Yao Ning was touched. She didn’t want to miss out on this man.
