“Mommy, what’s wrong?” Lele saw her mother leaning against her father’s arms and asked with concern.

“It’s okay. Mommy is a little timid. I’m not as brave as you, Joy. Mommy still has to learn from Joy.” Shu Pan smiled.

“Mommy, it’ll be fine if you come a few more times next time,” Joy said seriously.

“Alright, I’ll listen to you, Joy.” Shu Pan patted Joy’s little head.

Gu Shaoting looked at the time. It was already past five o’clock. They had played for so long and were very tired. They planned to go to the restaurant to eat before going back.

Just as they arrived at the restaurant and were about to sit down to order, Gu Shaoting’s phone suddenly rang. He was stunned for a moment. Why was there a call at this time? He took it out and saw that it was Charlene. He had saved her number before.

He frowned. Why did she call? Was there something urgent? It shouldn’t be business-related. If there was something important to deal with, Secretary Zhang would have contacted him. But contacting him for a personal matter? They were not close.

Seeing that Shu Pan had come over, he was worried that she would let her imagination run wild again, so he muted the phone and ignored her.

Shu Pan looked at him strangely. Why didn’t he pick up the phone when it rang?

The phone rang for a long time, but no one picked up. The phone hung up automatically.

Not long after, the phone rang again. Gu Shaoting glanced at it and saw that it was still the same number. He suddenly felt a little angry.

“Is there something important? If you have something to do, you can go first. Joy and I will take a bus back later.” Shu Pan heard the phone ring again and thought that Gu Shaoting didn’t answer the phone because he was concerned about their presence.

So she reminded him.

“It’s okay. It’s not an important person. There’s nothing important or urgent either.” Gu Shaoting said lightly and then declined the call.

The family’s mood to have a good meal was ruined.

“Alright then.” Although Shu Pan said so, she was a little puzzled. She had called twice in a row. It was probably an emergency.

But Gu Shaoting didn’t answer. Why?

Suddenly, she had an idea. Could it be that Charlene calling? That was why it was inconvenient for him to answer the call.

Thinking of this, Shu Pan felt a little uncomfortable.

If it really was Charlene, then it meant that she was interested in him, otherwise she wouldn’t have chased him so relentlessly.

What was even more hateful was that Charlene actually framed her to make a fool of herself just to dance with Gu Shaoting.

“Let’s eat, you must be hungry.” Gu Shaoting saw Shu Pan was in a daze and reminded her.

“Yes, I’m hungry. Come, Joy, have some vegetables.” Shu Pan helped Joy pick up some food and covered up her loss of composure.

Shu Pan’s guess was right. It was indeed Charlene. She wanted to strike while the iron was hot, but she remembered that she had just finished dancing last night, so she wanted to ask Gu Shaoting out for dinner tonight. Anyway, they were both not married, so she didn’t need to feel guilty.

She was just giving Gu Shaoting another chance to choose.

When she made the first call, she thought that he would pick up very quickly. However, to her disappointment, he did not pick up. She thought that he did not hear her, so she called again. However, after two rings, he actually declined the call.

What did he mean by this? Did he not want to answer her call? Or did she offend him?

Charlene instantly felt depressed. She couldn’t guess what Gu Shaoting was thinking.

Was it inconvenient for him to answer her call, or did he not want to answer her call?

This made Charlene feel a trace of panic and unease.

This morning, when she saw the news of her dancing with Gu Shaoting online, she thought there was hope because the comments online were all saying that they were a perfect match.
