Shen Huai'an leaned back in his chair, his wrist resting lightly on the armrest, smoking a cigarette as he looked at the dog running wildly in the distance, and said thoughtfully, "I heard you're going to have a marriage alliance with the Chen family."
He didn't ask Fang Shiming; instead, he stated the facts.
Fang Shiming immediately recalled what happened last time and said, "Yes, there was a misunderstanding at the last banquet. Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, I think Mr. Shen won't mind."
