Let’s Divorce As Agreed

Chapter 26

Money isn’t everything, but without money, there’s a lot you can’t do. For Shu Pan, it was a troublesome matter that had her worried and stressed. But for Su Yuan, it was easily resolved.contemporary romance

When Shu Pan snapped back to reality, she sighed. When she looked up, she noticed that Su Yuan’s gaze had never left her. She suddenly felt a bit awkward.

“Su Yuan, thank you for today. If it weren’t for you, I don’t know what would have happened. I’ll repay you as soon as I have the money,” she said gratefully, even though the feeling of being watched made her a bit uncomfortable.

“I’m not in a rush. Take care of your father. If you want to thank me, invite me for a meal. I happen to be hungry,” Su Yuan winked at her and pretended to be relaxed.

In truth, he was quite nervous and worried that she might refuse. Ever since he found out about Shu Laide’s situation from Cheng Yang, he had been restless, unable to find an excuse to get close to her. Now, he finally had one.

Su Yuan wanted to catch up with Shu Pan. He had heard from Cheng Yang recently that she was already married, but it was a hasty marriage. He wondered if she had forgotten him, or if her feelings for him were still the same, unable to let go of their past. He assumed that she had rushed to marry someone without a foundation of love.

That was why he couldn’t control his own heart and couldn’t resist coming to see her. Seeing her in such a difficult situation today, without her husband by her side, he couldn’t believe it. What would the outcome have been if he hadn’t come? The consequences would have been unimaginable.

“Alright, what do you feel like eating?” Shu Pan readily agreed. She treated him as a friend.

“You decide. I haven’t been back to Bin City in years, so I don’t know where the good food is anymore,” Su Yuan said with relief when he heard her acceptance. His tone was like that of a long-lost friend, casual and natural.

“Then let’s go to the Gathered Dragon. They have a milder flavor. I remember you didn’t like strong flavors,” Shu Pan said, but then she paused. Why did she bring up the past?

“Sure. Then I’ll eat more,” Su Yuan smiled with his eyes narrowed.

The two of them left the company together. Su Yuan considerately opened the car door for Shu Pan, closed it after she got in, then walked around the front of the car and got in from the other side. He started the car and drove away, leaving behind the indistinct dust swirling in the air.

Inside the car, Su Yuan turned on some soft piano music.

“Pan,” Su Yuan focused on driving and called out softly.

Shu Pan turned her head and looked at him, waiting for him to say what he wanted to say.

“Are you doing well?” Su Yuan couldn’t help but blurt out because he believed that any man who loved his wife wouldn’t let her fall into such a predicament.

“Yeah, I’m doing fine,” Shu Pan pursed her lips and replied softly.

The car fell into silence. Fortunately, the restaurant wasn’t far, and they soon arrived at Gathered Dragon.

Su Yuan got out of the car directly, then walked around and opened the door for Shu Pan, displaying the epitome of gentlemanly manners, making her feel a bit embarrassed.

Gathered Dragon was quite crowded, but they managed to find a place in the lobby. Shu Pan held the menu and asked Su Yuan to order. Su Yuan relaxedly leaned back in his chair and said, “You’re treating today, so you can order.”

Shu Pan nodded helplessly.

Shu Pan flipped through the menu with her slender fingers as Su Yuan glanced at her from the side. Her profile had a soft contour, and a few strands of hair playfully fell down, creating a beautiful image that was hard to look away from.

She called the waiter over and ordered Kung Pao Chicken, steamed fish, a plate of sizzling beef, a plate of boiled Chinese cabbage, and duck soup. She thought that it should be enough.

“I’ve ordered these dishes. If you want anything else, let me know,” Shu Pan turned to Su Yuan and asked.

“Sounds good. I love everything you ordered. We can order more later if it’s not enough,” Su Yuan’s mind was elsewhere. He took the menu and put it aside.

“Pan, don’t worry too much about your father’s situation. If you need any help, just let me know,” Su Yuan comforted her. Seeing her small shoulders carry such a heavy burden made him feel pity.

“Thank you, Su Yuan.” Shu Pan couldn’t express her gratitude with any other words besides thanking him.
