After the proprietress and her son finished speaking, Wen Chan also called out "Sister Zhou".

Seeing how beautiful Wen Chan looked today, Zhou Juan gave her a thumbs up, saying, "You've finally discovered your beauty, that's something!"

"It was my first time wearing it, so I felt a little uncomfortable and didn't know if it would look good."

Zhou Juan stepped forward and circled around Wen Chan, even touching her waist, before nodding affirmatively, "Very beautiful, a good bust, a good butt, and a supple waist, definitely a great figure."

"Right, Aunt Zhou? I think Mom looks prettier today than ever before." Ah Xuan said, noticing that his mother and Aunt Zhou were chatting and had forgotten about him.

Quickly trying to get attention, Zhou Juan asked Ah Xuan, "Ah Xuan, if your mom were to find you a new dad, would you be happy?"

When Wen Chan saw Zhou Juan ask this question, she quickly grabbed Zhou Juan's sleeve and winked at her, signaling her not to talk nonsense.

Zhou Juan realized that she had gone too far with her words, so she shut up.

Zhou Juan cleared her throat. "Do you want the usual flavor, or would you like something different today?"

"Let's keep the original one."

Zhou Juan nodded, but before leaving, she leaned close to Wen Chan's ear and said, "You're dressed so beautifully, you must have a boyfriend." She then gave Wen Chan a flirtatious wink.

Wen Chan felt a little embarrassed by Zhou Juan's actions.

Zhou Juan was so certain because she understood Wen Chan; a woman dresses up for the one she loves.

Zhou Juan and Wen Chan had gone shopping together before. When she wasn't working at the porridge shop, she dressed fashionably and boldly, and knew how to dress herself well, while Wen Chan always covered herself up tightly.

The most outrageous thing they do is wear off-the-shoulder tops with knee-length skirts; they're too embarrassed to show their thighs.

So every time she and Wenchan went shopping for clothes, she would tell Wenchan to buy tighter-fitting clothes with a bolder style, so that she could show off her beauty and not hide it.

Unfortunately, Wen Chan always remembered that she was a widow and stuck to the old ways. She was also somewhat conservative and wouldn't listen to Zhou Juan's advice. So Zhou Juan didn't force her to listen.

After eating and drinking their fill, Wen Chan and her companion went to the park's sports field for some exercise, and then went shopping and watched a movie at the mall.

This whole ordeal took until around 4 p.m., and then I remembered I still had to go to the seafood market.

Wenchan and Wenxuan went to buy groceries hand in hand and went home. Wenxuan happily looked around the small market full of seafood.

Seafood is delicious when cooked properly, but the small seafood market here is too smelly and damp.

Wen Chan, in particular, looked out of place in the market, even though there were many women in the market who dressed even more daringly than her.

But this was the first time Wen Chan had dressed up so elaborately, so she felt like everyone was staring at her, and all she wanted to do was buy nice things as soon as possible.

She and Wenxuan went straight to the crab stall and bought five large crabs, more than two pounds of shrimp, and a sea bass to make soup.

This is enough for the two of them; even if we buy more, we won't be able to finish it.

Wen Chan came out and thought carefully about what else she needed to buy. She couldn't think of anything right now, so she asked her son, "Is there anything else we need to buy for our family?"

Before Wenxuan could reply, she muttered to herself, "I should go buy some rapeseed shoots; they're delicious stir-fried."

Finally, I bought some apples and bananas, and then went to the supermarket to buy a carton of milk.

After leaving the market, Wenxuan ran into Sister Zhao, who was carrying a vegetable basket and was obviously going to buy vegetables.

Wen Chan smiled at her from afar, "Sister Zhao, buying groceries?"

"Yes, Xiaowen, you've finished shopping? Look at all those bags you've got. What are you planning to cook today?"

Wen Chan said, "I only bought two crabs. Ah Xuan said he wanted to eat them, so I just went to the market to buy them."

"Alright, goodbye then. I won't keep you any longer."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two parted ways.

Wen Chan and A Xuan were chatting and laughing as they were about to enter the building when they saw their neighbor returning from another direction.

Wen Chan didn't notice the man, but the man did notice them. He saw that Wen Chan was carrying things and her fingers were red from being squeezed.

He quickly stepped forward and politely asked, "Do you need any help? I see you're carrying a lot of things?"

Wen Chan was startled by his voice, and her heart skipped a beat.

Seeing that it was a neighbor, he quickly declined, saying, "No need, I'm almost home, so I won't trouble you."

Now that we've taken the extra steps, what's a few more? She's not that kind of pretentious person.

Seeing that she firmly refused, Huang Xianhai didn't interfere. After all, they weren't familiar with each other, and it would seem inappropriate for him to help so readily.

Because they live on the second floor, Wenchan doesn't like taking the elevator; she feels a bit of chest tightness when she does.

When they reached their respective doorways, Wenxuan suddenly asked, "Uncle, do you live alone?"

Huang Xianhai was a little surprised to suddenly be noticed by the children, but he still softened his voice and said, "It's just me at home."

"Then come to my house for dinner. My mom bought a lot of groceries. We're having seafood today, it's so delicious."

After saying that, she seemed to remember something and added, "And my mom is a great cook; all her dishes are especially delicious."

Wen Chan was also surprised by his son's enthusiasm. He knew that his son was very protective of his private territory, such as Lu Shaoqing's two children.

Wenxuan didn't care how good Wenchan was to them in public, but when they returned home, he wouldn't allow his mother to focus her attention on Lu Yuan and his sister.

Perhaps he also knows that his mother at home belongs to him alone, while his mother outside belongs to everyone, so he doesn't show any displeasure about his mother's words and actions outside.

But not at home, because she sensed her son's feelings, so she never brought anyone home, especially children.

Seeing that Huang Xianhai didn't know how to answer, Wen Chan quickly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my son is just being immature."

He then explained to his son, "Ah Xuan, maybe Uncle..."

Before Wen Chan could finish speaking, she heard the man reply, "Thank you for the invitation, Ah Xuan. Then I won't stand on ceremony."

Wang Xuehai has no resistance to children who show kindness, and he doesn't know how to refuse them.

Seeing the disappointed look in his child's eyes after hearing his mother's words, he couldn't help but soften and had to agree before Wen Chan could.

Then he looked at Wen Chan and said, "Comrade Wen, I'm sorry to trouble you tonight. I'm a grown man and I'm not a good cook, so I'll shamelessly come to your house to freeload. If there's anything I can help you with, just say the word, and I'll do my best to help."

Wen Chan stiffly tugged at the corner of her lips and chuckled twice to indicate that she was alright.

Then Wenchan said, "Okay, I'll go home and cook first. You can come over for dinner in an hour."

Since her son had personally invited her, she couldn't refuse him, so she reluctantly agreed.

Neither of them noticed that after they went home, Hu Tao came out of the laundry room.

When Hu Tao thought about how the new technician Huang was single and a college student, her gaze towards Wen Chan's room door became somewhat meaningful.

So soon after, rumors started circulating in the family building that Wenchan had high standards and used to look down on the married men with children that people introduced to her, but now she only had her eye on the new technician.
