After hanging up with Shu Pan, Gu Shaoting checked the time and realized it was still early. He remembered he hadn’t contacted Song Can in a long time, so he picked up the phone and dialed her number.

“What? Do you still remember 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 me for? Just focus on your wife and child.” Song Can’s voice softened slightly upon hearing Gu Shaoting’s tone.

“I’ll come back to spend time 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 home to an empty house, why don’t we go out for a drink?” He Ming suggested, feeling a bit bored and wanting someone 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 demeanor.

“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 Xiaomeng feels pressured since she’s not pregnant.” He Ming replied, feeling frustrated.

Xiaomeng was out traveling, and when he called her today, she said she was shopping and didn’t have time. 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 time. 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 Xiaomeng first, but she refuses. She wants to register after getting pregnant, but pregnancy isn’t something you can plan for. Who knows when that’ll happen?” He Ming lamented, feeling overwhelmed by his situation.

“Sometimes we need to take a stand and not always listen to women.” Gu Shaoting shared his experience.

“Yeah, I need to stand firm,” He Ming agreed.

They clinked their glasses in agreement.

Meanwhile, Shu Pan and Ye Xiaomeng, who were traveling, were also having a great time.

Ye Xiaomeng indeed rented a luxurious villa, fully equipped with everything they needed, even allowing them to cook for themselves.

“Xiaomeng, come and eat,” Shu Pan called out.

“We’re not home, but men can have fun too. He Ming just sent a picture of him and Gu Shaoting drinking,” Ye Xiaomeng 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.

“Come on, let’s have a drink too,” she said, opening the fridge and taking out two bottles of beer.

“Yeah, cheers!” Shu Pan exclaimed happily.

The sisters indulged themselves in eating and drinking.
