"I understand," Shen Pan said, "but I want a sister."
"Because you have a younger brother?"
"That's part of the reason," Shen Pan thought for a moment and then said, "I will repay my parents for raising me, but... I don't want to be a brother-supporting demon."
Zhou Mo gave Shen Pan another pizza.
But Chen Pan pushed Zhou Mo's hand away and said, "I can't eat anymore."
"Eat some more," Zhou Mo advised, "No matter how unhappy you are, don't be mean to delicious food."
Shen Pan nodded and ate another piece.
How could Zhou Mo not feel distressed and sympathetic towards Chen Pan's life experience?
There is a limit to what she can do, but as long as it is within her ability, she will definitely help.
The two had a delicious meal and came out of the restaurant.
Shen Pan took out the rose from her handbag and said, "Here, this is for you."
Zhou Mo took it with a bit of surprise, and said jokingly, "What do you mean? Are you confessing to me?"
"Thank you for treating me to this meal," Shen Pan said, "I haven't been out for a long time."
"That's perfect," Zhou Mo put his arm around Chen Pan and sniffed the rose gently, "accompany me to look at furniture and explore the store."
The two of them crossed the road hand in hand and just reached the intersection.
Not far away at the entrance of Greedy, a man and a woman walked out of the revolving door.
Chen Pan froze completely, and Zhou Mo followed her gaze.
Lu Zhishu and a woman seemed to be talking and laughing, and they walked out side by side.
There was a Rolls-Royce parked at the door. Lu Zhishu was very gentlemanly and stepped forward to open the door for the woman.
The woman was not in a hurry to get on the car. She pulled up the bag beside her and gently lifted her wavy hair, revealing her slim figure.
The two chatted for a few more words, and Lu Zhishu politely invited the woman to get in the car.
When the woman got into the car by holding the door, she gently placed her hand on the back of Lu Zhishu's hand holding the door, and then raised her head and gave him another teasing look.
Lu Zhishu always had a polite smile on his face and closed the car door decisively.
The Rolls-Royce drove away.
Lu Zhishu turned around and put away his smile. He tugged at his tie and looked up to meet two pairs of eyes staring at him blankly.
"Chen Pan..."
"A new love?" Shen Pan stretched his neck slightly to look in the direction where the Rolls-Royce disappeared, "Congratulations."
Lu Zhishu's face was dark and unclear, and for a moment it was all pitch black.
“Just a customer.”
"Isn't that better?" Chen Pan asked back, "It would be great if we could care for each other in life and help each other in career."
Lu Zhishu wanted to say something, but seeing Zhou Mo there, he stopped himself.
He changed the subject, "Have you eaten yet? I'll treat you all."
Shen Pan smiled, without any warmth.
"Do you have time?" She glanced at Zhou Mo and said, "You're so busy, forget it. Besides, I'm here to go shopping with Momo, and I have things to do with her. I won't keep you any longer. Bye."
Chen Pan said goodbye very naturally, and without waiting for Lu Zhishu's response, he pulled Zhou Mo and turned to leave.
"Chen Pan," Lu Zhishu hurried over and grabbed Chen Pan's arm. He glanced at Zhou Mo and said, "Can we talk alone? I have time now."
Shen Pan pried his hand apart and pulled her arm free. "You have time, but I don't. I'm taking a rare break today, so I'm going out to relax with some friends. We already have plans. If you want to talk to me, please make an appointment in advance. You have all my contact information, and I haven't blocked you."
"Is it necessary to be so distant?" Lu Zhishu frowned.
"We've broken up," Shen Pan reminded.
Lu Zhishu's face darkened. "I haven't agreed yet."
"I don't need your consent," Shen Pan said, "Breaking up is not a divorce. Both parties must reach an agreement. Breaking up is breaking up. I unilaterally notified you that we are over, which is also a breakup."
"You said you could let me think about it first."
"That was just a euphemism. We didn't want things to get too awkward," Chen Pan said. "Besides, it's been so long. I don't think you've figured it out. Give me an answer. I really can't wait any longer. Momo, let's go."
Chen Pan didn't give Lu Zhishu any chance at all. He pulled Zhou Mo and waved to stop a taxi on the side of the road.
Lu Zhishu didn't give up and continued to chase after them, "Where are you going? I'll take you there."
Shen Pan turned around, his face full of impatience, "No need."
Just then a taxi stopped, Shen Pan pushed Zhou Mo, and they both got into the taxi.
He didn't care at all about Lu Zhishu who was still standing there.
In the car.
Zhou Mo asked worriedly, "Are you sure you don't want to have a good talk with him?"
Shen Pan looked out the window: "What is there to talk about?"
Zhou Mo knew that Chen Pan had suffered great injustice while being with Lu Zhishu, and it was not something that could be explained in a few words.
"Some things are better said openly," Zhou Mo said, "It feels like... Lu Zhishu doesn't seem to want to break up."
"It's his business if he doesn't want to break up. I don't want to be with him anymore," Shen Pan said, "Don't mention him. It's a bummer."
Zhou Mo understood. After all, no one could be happy after a relationship just ended.
"Do you still want to go to the furniture store?" Zhou Mo asked.
"Go, why not?" Chen Pan said, "It's just a one-time encounter with him. I can't be so miserable that I can't even live my life."
The two took a taxi to the furniture store together.
Zhou Mo had previously looked at several items on IKEA's official website online. They were newly launched and had good sales.
There is an IKEA life experience center in the furniture city, which is said to provide an immersive experience of livable life.
"Didn't you ask Han Chen's mother what style she likes? After all, she's the one who lives there," Chen Pan said.
"I haven't asked yet. I want to explore the store first and find out in advance. I'll bring her and my parents here on May Day."
Shen Pan's eyes swept Zhou Mo from top to bottom, "You are still pretending to be someone's girlfriend? This is clearly the job of a wife."
Zhou Mo smiled embarrassedly, "I just want to help Han Chen. He is busy with work and doesn't have much life experience. He can't handle buying furniture."
"Oh my, my tooth hurts more the more I talk about it," Shen Pan felt his teeth grinding against his. "No, one pizza won't cure my toothache. I'll need several."
Zhou Mo pushed her.
IKEA occupies three floors in the furniture store. When it came to bedding, Zhou Mo took a fancy to a gray VADHEIM air-pressure bed.
She went on to try sitting on it a few times. It was very soft and comfortable, and the price was also reasonable, around four thousand.
There is also ample storage space under the bed, and Zhou Mo is very satisfied.
She used her phone to write down the model number of the bed.
She tried a few more and the results were also very good, and she recorded them one by one.
As soon as Shen Pan entered the experience hall, he was attracted by the dazzling array of furniture and decorations.
Zhou Mo went to the double bed area, and Shen Pan ran to look at the lights.
When he lived in Gan Ding Apartment before, although the house was finely decorated and had everything he needed, Chen Pan still felt that if he didn't buy some things, it would not feel like home.
So she bought a bedside lamp with a glass shade. ?
