Shu Pan was browsing online to see if there were any fun places to visit. Xiaomeng had mentioned a trip to Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand a couple of days ago, and after checking out the attractions today, Shu Pan was convinced they were worth visiting, especially Singapore, with its garden-like atmosphere, a place she had been wanting to visit for a long time.
However, she hadnāt told Gu Shaoting about this yet. She planned to inform him tonight.
Yesterday, Joy had already gone to her grandfatherās house, so Shu Pan finally had some time to prepare properly.
She had already applied for leave and was ready to go at any time.
Coincidentally, Xiaomeng called. āGirl, get your documents ready. Weāre leaving the day after tomorrow.ā
āOkay,ā Shu Pan said happily.
āRemember to tell your man. Who knows, maybe he doesnāt want you to go? Itās finally peaceful without Joy here,ā Xiaomeng teased, seeming to know Gu Shaoting inside out.
Blushing over the phone, Shu Pan replied, āThereās nothing to be attached to. Itās been a long time since I went out. Iāll tell him later. But the thing is, I donāt have much money, so I probably wonāt be able to buy much.ā
āYouāre worried he wonāt give you money?ā Xiaomeng scoffed. āSeriously?ā
āThink about it. The man youāre going to marry is a billionaire. Heās loaded. Are you embarrassed to mention it to us?ā
āI donāt know. We donāt talk about money now. Iām not shallow,ā Shu Pan defended herself.
Xiaomeng couldnāt help but chuckle. Some things never change.
Around seven oāclock, Gu Shaoting returned home with his hands in his pockets. āHad dinner?ā
āYeah,ā Shu Pan chirped, bouncing over to him. āIām planning to go on a trip to Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand with Xiaomeng the day after tomorrow.ā
āWhat? Are you planning to leave me at home?ā Gu Shaoting accused, his eyes betraying a hint of melancholy.
Blushing under his intense gaze, Shu Pan took the opportunity to say, āWeāll only be gone for a few days. Weāll be back soon.ā
After saying this weakly, she observed his expression. Gu Shaoting glanced at her from the corner of his eye. āWhy suddenly decide to go on a trip? There were no signs. If you want to go, I can take you. ā
āI havenāt been on a trip for several years,ā Shu Pan pouted. āJust a few days of relaxation with Xiaomeng. Sheās not feeling well, and Iāll accompany her. Youāre so busy, when do you have time?ā
āIām okay with you going on a trip for a few days, but if you do, you owe me the benefits for those days,ā Gu Shaoting hinted. š§šš¦š¦šāÆš£ššøšæāÆš.ššøš
āWhat benefits?ā Shu Panās heart raced as he looked at her. Pretending to be clueless, she innocently turned her eyes. āI donāt know.ā
āI can teach you,ā Gu Shaoting said, then lowered his head to kiss her soft lips.
After a moment, he released Shu Pan. āUnderstood?ā
Shu Pan nodded shyly, her face flushing.
āIn the future, you need to tell me in advance where you plan to go. You canāt just decide to leave suddenly,ā Gu Shaoting still harbored some lingering concerns. Shu Pan being away for a few days left him feeling uneasy being alone at home.
āOkay, I got it,ā Shu Pan, feeling a bit stingy, wanted to roll her eyes at him, but she held back.
Gu Shaotingās cold gaze softened under the light, but his expression still lacked warmth. āWhen you get there, remember not to stir up trouble. Just the two of you going, honestly, Iām not very reassured.ā
āIāll be careful,ā Shu Pan nodded earnestly.
Seeing her obedient demeanor, Gu Shaotingās brows relaxed slightly as he patted her head. āYouāre really troublesome.ā
Shu Pan pulled him closer and asked, āHave you eaten?ā
She quickly diverted his attention.
āYes, go take a shower quickly, and then Iāll see if you need anything before you leave.ā
āOkay,ā Shu Pan stuck out her tongue playfully, then hurried back to the bedroom.
