The message that he got from Ru Shi read:

"Hey. This is your sister. If you don't believe me, ask mother. I'm already at home and waiting for you. What's up with you living with a woman? You don't come here in half an hour, I'll barge myself in your home."

Pan An rolled his eyes when he read the message again. Even though it's an unknown number, he wouldn't dare to doubt the content of this message.

He knew that it's already her sister with the way the message was typed—already hearing her sister's voice as he shuddered.

"Dang… is your sister really home? Why? All of a sudden?" Wang Lei asked, Pan An, sighing as he put his phone down and continued eating.

"Probably coming here to pry since my mother has told her something about Shu Xian," he replied, Wang Lei getting his phone to talk to Chia Hao.

The two of them are also friends with Ru Shi's husband. Even though they have three years of gap, they were still close with each other, Wang Lei comfortably calling Chia Hao at this time of night.

As the phone was ringing, Wang Lei put his phone on loudspeaker. The moment the call connected, they heard Chia Hao's voice, both of them greeting him as well.

"Wang Lei! What's up? You rarely call."

"Chia Hao, hey!" Wang Lei greeted, a smile coming to Pan An's face. "I'm eating hotpot with Pan An. We just thought we'd call?"

"Dang!" Chia Hao exclaimed, a chuckle coming afterward. "I wished I told you guys that I arrived in Country C earlier! With the meetings I had, I didn't have the time to even text," he added, further confirming that the message Pan An received is indeed true.

"My sister," Pan An started, "Is she with mother?"

"Yeah," Chia Hao replied, a laugh coming after. "Don't tell me Ru Shi didn't tell you that she's coming home? Haiya… she really plans on surprising you," he added, making Pan An playfully roll his eyes.

"We'll catch up with you soon, aight?"' Wang Lei said, making Chia Hao feel excited. "We'll call you over the weekend and we'll have a boy's night out."

"I'll make sure to free my schedule before we go back to country M," Chia Hao replied, the boys smiling at the thought of them making time for each other. "Take care—I have to fix up documents for tomorrow's meeting."

As soon as the call ended, Pan An shook his head and looked at Wang Lei.

"I guess I really need to ask a favor from you."

"Sure," Wang Lei already guessed, drinking his glass of water. "I'll drop you by to your mother's house."

With that, both of them ate the other remaining food that they have on the table. As soon as they were finished, Wang Lei got the attention of the manager, already indicating their leave.

Since he owns the place, he need not to pay for the bill, already leaving the restaurant with Pan An following behind him.

As they were walking towards the parking lot, Pan An got his phone from his pocket. With him dialing Shu Xian's number, the call connected on the third ring, a girl's voice heard at the other end of the call.

"Pan An," Shu Xian greeted, her voice soft as she was still shy with them talking over the phone despite living together. "What's up?"

"I might be coming home a little bit late," he said, making Shu Xian furrow her brows.

"Oh! I see. You and Wang Lei deciding to drink?"

Pan An and Wang Lei chuckled when they heard what Shu Xian said.

"How could you associate us with alcohol, Shu Xian?" Wang Lei complained, Shu Xian, laughing. "It hurts!"

"I'm sorry," Shu Xian apologized, already feeling less awkward with Wang Lei joking around. "Anyway, is it?"

"No."

Pan An replied, both of them already getting inside the car. They fastened their seatbelts, Wang Lei about to drive.

"There was an urgent news of my sister coming home—so I have to visit her and talk with her. It might take me long since she rarely comes home," he added, Shu Xian, surprised."

"Oh! I see!" Shu Xian exclaimed, embracing both of her knees. "Alright, then. You have your keys with you, right? I'll lock the door."

"Good," Pan An said, reminding her of her safety. "Wan Wan's there with you and the neighborhood is safe. I'll not disturb you when I get home."

"Better than you coming home drunk, yes?" Shu Xian joked, making both of the boys laugh. "Alright, I get it. Umm… send me my regards to your sister," she added, making Pan An nod even though she won't see.

"Alright. Bye."

With that, Wang Lei grinned, commenting about Pan An.

"You update her like your wife, ey?"

"Oh, stop it," Pan An retorted, "We live together. She has to know my whereabouts, too."

"Yeah, yeah…" Wang Lei commented, still curious about his older sister.

"With your sister here and with Chia Hao here, too… do you think that they got closer in their marriage?"

"Who knows," Pan An shrugged, both of them knowing that they only married because of family's sake. "Neither of them aren't saying anything," he added, Wang Lei, sighing.

"Sad… to be honest, Chia Hao is good. I mean, I have nothing against your sister but Chia Hao treats her well."

"I know," Pan An agreed, letting out another sigh. "But I sort of get her… in a way," Pan An added, making Wang Lei silent as he further told him what he meant.

"My sister has long loved someone secretly—only mother and I knew about her past relationship before with the man. When father knew… well… you know what happened."

"Yeah," Wang Lei nodded, no longer saying a word. "I'm stupid in this topic so I'll just keep it zipped."

With Pan An laughing at Wang Lei's joke, the drive towards Cai Li's home is now quiet, Pan An already expectant of what's to happen next.
