Chapter 786: Chapter 786: Enemies Meet Again

Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Relative after relative came, but the last guest was someone Shu Pan did not expect—Wen Chi, who had been absent for quite a while.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Because of his profession, Wen Chi was always busy. He only attended events he deemed important. Shu Pan had casually mentioned the full moon celebration to him once, not expecting him to actually come.

Wen Chi arrived with his usual refined demeanor, his charming almond-shaped eyes, tall stature, and gentle aura. He brought a generous gift for Xiaobao, which Shu Pan felt embarrassed to accept, but he insisted, saying it was for the baby.

“Let me hold him,” Wen Chi said as he carefully picked up Xiaobao. Looking at the cute, fair-skinned little boy, he felt a wave of emotion. He couldn’t believe that the girl he once liked now had a beautiful baby.

“Wow, Xiaobao is so adorable. He’s going to be a handsome guy someday,” Wen Chi said with a smile.

“Of course he’s adorable. Look at his parents!” Gu Huanhuan chimed in as she entered the room. Seeing Wen Chi holding Xiaobao and noticing the baby smiling at him, she felt a pang of jealousy and couldn’t help but comment, though her tone was a bit sour.

Hearing the somewhat unfriendly voice, Wen Chi looked over and saw her. He remembered her from treating her before. It made sense she’d be here; after all, she was Shu Pan’s cousin-in-law.

Gu Huanhuan walked over to Xiaobao, making a funny face at him. She couldn’t understand why this cute baby cried only when she held him, despite her youthful beauty.

“Babies are actually very perceptive. They can tell who they like at a glance,” Wen Chi said calmly, though his words carried a hidden meaning.

“What’s that supposed to mean? Are you saying I’m not likable?” Gu Huanhuan asked, glancing around to see she was the only one he could be referring to.

“I didn’t say that. Right, Xiaobao?” Wen Chi, seeing Gu Huanhuan’s aggressive stance, decided to defuse the situation by focusing back on the baby.

“Don’t corrupt Xiaobao with your playboy demeanor,” Gu Huanhuan said, feeling uncomfortable looking directly into his captivating eyes.

Wen Chi glanced at her, trying to recall if he had ever wronged her, wondering why she always had sharp words for him.

Nonetheless, he was magnanimous and wouldn’t take issue with such a young woman.

Gu Huanhuan felt a bit deflated when Wen Chi ignored her.

Just then, Shu Pan came in and took Xiaobao from Wen Chi. “Chi, why don’t you go grab something to eat?”

“Sure, I should be heading out soon anyway. I have a minor surgery this afternoon,” Wen Chi replied, checking his watch before giving a gentle smile.

“Thank you so much for making time to come today. I really appreciate it,” Shu Pan said gratefully. Wen Chi was the ideal big brother in her eyes, always quietly looking out for her.

“No need to thank me,” Wen Chi said with a slight smile.

After Wen Chi left, Gu Huanhuan pouted, muttering, “Trying to act cool.”

A little while later, Shu Pan took Xiaobao outside. Everyone gathered around to see and play with him. Xiaobao, delighted by the crowd and excitement, was in high spirits.

It wasn’t until dusk that the guests gradually began to leave.

Song Can sat on the sofa, holding Joy in her arms.

“Mom, thank you for everything today,” Shu Pan said sincerely.

“It’s no trouble at all. Why are you being so polite?” Song Can replied, genuinely transformed.

Everyone appreciated her change. Now, the sound of family laughter frequently filled Qiyuan.
