Moreover, Pang Yong felt that this young woman he was meeting for the first time had a very good personality and was not pretentious at all.
In the short time they were talking, Chen Juren had already finished a large bowl of dumplings. Pang Yong saw this and quickly went over to clean up the empty bowl. He turned back to Hong Xiaoduo and said, "Just leave this bowl and bamboo basket here. I'll take them back later."
