The following day, when Shu Pan woke up, Gu Shaoting was nowhere to be seen.
After she washed up and came out of the living room, Auntie Li told her that Gu Shaoting had already sent Joy to school and told Aunty Li not to disturb her to let her sleep.

Shu Pan nodded. It was good to satisfy that girlâs wish. Otherwise, she would cause trouble again when she returned.
While thinking about it, her stomach let out a growl. Shu Pan touched her belly and smiled.
She sat down by the table and started taking some plain congee.
In the car, Joy was âinterrogatingâ Gu Shaoting.
âDaddy, youâve been very busy lately. You donât even have time to pick me up. Donât you like me anymore?â Joy asked seriously.
Gu Shaoting was stunned. He didnât expect Joy to ask this.
âBaby, what are you thinking? Of course, Daddy likes you,â Gu Shaoting quickly said.
He had indeed neglected Joy lately. âDaddy has been busy lately.â Gu Shaoting thought for a while and felt that this reason was more reasonable.
âNo wonder Mommy said the same thing. I missed you last night and asked Mommy to call you. Why did you hang up?â Joy pouted, feeling aggrieved.
Gu Shaoting was stunned. Shupan indeed called him last night, but he didnât know what he said then. As the environment was noisy, he hung up the phone. He didnât expect Joy to be the one who had asked Shu Pan to call him.
It wasnât Shu Pan who had initiated to call him, but Joy who wanted her to call. Gu Shaoting suddenly felt very disappointed.
After sending Joy to kindergarten, Gu Shaoting called Shu Pan.
Shu Pan had already arrived at the company. She did not answer the call because she had just walked away. When she returned to her place and saw the missed call, she hesitated before calling back. She was worried that something was wrong with Joy.
âWhatâs the matter?â Shu Pan asked. There was no emotion in her tone.
âYouâve arrived at the company?â He had wanted to go back and pick her up.
âYeah, I have to start work now. If thereâs nothing else, Iâll hang up.â Shu Pan was about to hang up.
âOh, letâs have lunch together. How about it?â Gu Shaoting took a step back and said. He was already compromising.
âWeâll talk about it when the time comes.â Shu Pan was not interested.
âAlright.â Gu Shaoting hung up helplessly.
Back in the office, Gu Shaotingâs face darkened. He sat before his desk, looking like someone owed him a few million.
Gu Shaoting had been in a bad mood recently and it was getting worse by the day. Everyone could probably tell, especially Secretary Zhang.
âMr. Gu, weâre going to sign the contract with the CEO of Gaoli today. Is this afternoon okay? Iâll make an appointment in advance.â After Secretary Zhang came in and saw Gu Shaotingâs expression, he screamed for help in his heart. However, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go forward.
Gu Shaoting didnât respond and just sat there motionlessly.
Secretary Zhang had no choice but to repeat himself.
Gu Shaoting looked at him. âWhat? Sign a contract? Make it in the afternoon.â
âAlright, Iâll make the arrangements now.â Seeing the atmosphere in the office so low, Secretary Zhang wanted to leave quickly.
âSecretary Zhang, wait a moment.â Just as he was about to leave, Gu Shaoting stopped him. fĐłeewŃbnoŃ”el.cÏm
âHow to coax a woman?â It was rare for Gu Shaoting to be so humble.
Secretary Zhang was a little flattered. âMr. Gu, is it still about Mrs. Gu?â
Obviously, this was the problem.
âYeah, sheâs still very cold. Iâve already lowered my stance very much.â Gu Shaoting was at his witâs end.
âMr. Gu, you just need to find out why sheâs angry and prescribe the right medicine,â Secretary Zhang suggested.
âWhy is she angry?â Gu Shaoting recalled the scene with Charlene that day.
