“I’m doing well. When did you return to Bin City?” He Ming looked at Shu Pan, who appeared even thinner than before, giving off a pitiful vibe.
It seemed they were well aware of her departure. He just hadn’t been paying attention lately, so he didn’t know when she had returned.
“I’ve been back for a while. I’ve been working at Sunrise Architecture,” Shu Pan replied, cooperative in her responses.

“Oh, congratulations to them,” Shu Pan replied politely upon hearing their names, her expression indifferent, and her demeanor distant, as if it had nothing to do with her.
He Ming furrowed his brow, finding Shu Pan’s behavior somewhat unbelievable. “Thank you on their behalf,” He Ming initiated, realizing that this was the only option at the moment.
“Do you need to consult Mr. Gu’s opinion first? Should I let him know that I am the designer? If he doesn’t agree, we can still consider changing the designer,” Shu Pan offered a suggestion, concerned that Gu Shaoting might change his mind once he realized it was her working on the project.
“I’ll talk to him. Come in and take the measurements you need,” He Ming opened the door and invited Shu Pan inside.
Shu Pan observed that the villa was located in the most beautiful part of Tongyuan and had at least 300 square meters, larger than Shuimu Qinghua. She silently reproached herself for thinking about the past again.
Efficiently, she recorded the necessary data and then said her goodbyes to He Ming.
After she left, He Ming couldn’t help but reflect on the twists and turns of life.
Just as she exited Tongyuan, a black Mercedes suddenly passed by. Gu Shaoting was sitting in the back seat, and in a momentary glance outside, he was completely stunned.
“Wait…” Gu Shaoting called out, and the driver quickly pulled over to the side of the road.
Gu Shaoting’s eyes were fixed firmly on the figure in the light green top who had just emerged from Tongyuan. She had taken him completely by surprise. That figure was one he couldn’t be more familiar with. He had resolved to forget the past completely, but this figure had created ripples in his heart once again.
In a hazy moment, her light green top seemed refreshingly vivid, her hair tied in a ponytail swaying gently as she walked.

He couldn’t help but furrow his brow.
He had once asked himself what his feelings were for Shu Pan, but in the end, he had found no answer.
Gu Shaoting remained standing there, unmoving.
Not far away, Shu Pan anxiously waited for her ride. Since this was a high-end residential area, most residents had private cars, and the wait for a bus was quite long.
Fortunately, the bus arrived, and Shu Pan hurriedly got in. It wasn’t until Shu Pan had left that Gu Shaoting finally returned to his car.
The driver noticed him lost in thought, unsure of what he was contemplating, and didn’t dare to disturb him. Only when Gu Shaoting snapped back to reality did he instruct the driver to start the car.
Upon reaching his designated parking spot, Gu Shaoting got out of the car and headed towards the villa.
He had seen a design sketch that seemed oddly familiar, so he decided to come and take a look. The warmth depicted in the drawings was precisely what he needed.
Shortly, He Ming came over and opened the door for him..
