Let's Divorce As Agreed

Wen Chi was having a blast with Joy. It seemed like Joy had never been this happy before.

Everywhere they went, Joy was pulling her “Uncle Wen” along. Shu Pan couldn’t help but feel a bit helpless and felt that she was redundant. She simply didn’t have the energy to be as wild as they were.

Finally, around noon, they took a break, and everyone was starving. Wen Chi suggested taking Joy to KFC. Shu Pan frowned slightly, showing some disapproval.

Wen Chi convinced her by saying that it was something kids loved and that it was okay to indulge occasionally. Joy clapped her hands in delight upon hearing this because she had seen it on TV.

Since it was two against one, with the majority in favor, Shu Pan reluctantly agreed.

As it was a weekend, KFC was crowded, and they had to wait for a table. Shu Pan was about to go and order when Wen Chi quickly stopped her. “It’s crowded, I’ll go. You watch Joy.”

Wen Chi walked away gracefully, leaving Shu Pan looking at him standing in the queue, where he seemed to shine brightly, outshining those around him.

Finally, it was Wen Chi’s turn to order. He spoke softly to the cashier, ordering a family bucket and an additional serving of fries that Joy had been wanting for a while.

Shu Pan was defeated once again by him. It seemed like he was spoiling the little girl beyond measure. Perhaps, in the future, Joy’s favorite person would be Uncle Wen.

Shu Pan couldn’t help but admonish Wen Chi. “Why did you buy so much? You’ve made her idolize you.”

“We’re out for fun, don’t be a spoilsport. Joy, let’s dig in!” With those words, Joy started enjoying her fries with gusto, rotating her shiny little eyes.

After Joy had eaten her fill, she noticed a small amusement park inside KFC. It was right next to their table, and she looked at it eagerly. Then she asked Shu Pan, “Mom, can I go play for a while?”

“You can, but be careful, and stay inside. Don’t go too far,” Shu Pan patted her head and watched as Joy entered the play area.

“Shu Pan, we’ve known each other for a few years now, right? What do you think of me?” Wen Chi suddenly asked Shu Pan, taking her by surprise as she sipped her juice. She almost choked on it before swallowing hard, then responded seriously, “You’re great, your medical skills are superb, and you’re kind to your patients. When we first met, you were so helpful to me.”

Wen Chi looked intently at her and continued, “Don’t give me too much credit. Do you think I would be suitable to be your boyfriend?”

Wen Chi’s unexpected confession startled Shu Pan. Although she had mentioned giving him and herself a chance, she hadn’t fully considered it yet. Now, faced with Wen Chi’s confession, she didn’t know how to react.

“Wen Chi, you have a great profession, a good personality, and you’re handsome. You deserve someone better. Look at me, I’m a divorced woman with a daughter…” Shu Pan spoke candidly to Wen Chi, hoping that his confession wasn’t out of pity or a sudden impulse.

“Shu Pan, I’m a man with rational thinking. My profession requires careful consideration, and it’s not just hormones acting up. Let me take care of you, alright?” Wen Chi said seriously. Although he sometimes seemed carefree, he approached serious matters with deep thought.

Looking at his expression, which didn’t seem like a joke, Shu Pan finally spoke slowly, “Wen Chi, it’s too sudden.. Let me think about it, okay?”
