Shu Pan couldnât be blamed for not hearing Gu Shaoting walk into the kitchen. The cooker hood was very loud. Coupled with the stir-frying sounds, Shu Pan really couldnât hear anything else.
Gu Shaoting wrapped his arms around Shu Pan from behind. âWhat delicious food are you making?â
Shu Pan wanted to forget about the arms around her waist but it was difficult to ignore the heat from his hands.
âIâm making your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs.â Shu Panâs eyes revealed a bright smile.
Gu Shaoting looked at the ribs in the wok and felt quite touched. After all, if Shu Pan wasnât at home, he would be home alone staring at the walls.
âWow, I love sweet and sour pork ribs.â Gu Shaoting tightened his arms around her.
âI know. Youâre the VVIP today, so Iâm making your favorite dishes. You can ask for anything today.â Shu Pan said indulgingly. âWhat else would you like to eat? Tell me. Iâll satisfy your requests today.â
âWhat do you mean?â Gu Shaoting still didnât get it. After all, he was a very busy CEO with no bandwidth to remember any romantic dates⊠He definitely didnât pay much attention to birthdays.
âSilly, today is your birthday. Donât you remember?â Shu Pan reminded him. Seeing his confused face, she knew that he had indeed forgotten.
âOh right, I forgot.â Gu Shaoting was too preoccupied with the recent fight he had with Shu Pan that he was in no mood to remember such things.
âThen what else does the birthday boy want to eat? Youâve been working hard lately. I think youâve lost weight. It makes my heart ache.â
Gu Shaoting felt like he was on cloud nine. He touched his face as he said, âAt least you noticed that Iâve lost weight. Because of our recent fight, I couldnât eat or sleep well. I donât want to go through that ever again.â
Gu Shaotingâs voice was full of grievance.
âI was also in a fit of anger then. But every night when it was quiet, I would miss you.â Shu Pan continued with a smile, âI know that itâs your birthday today, so I took a day off to shop for ingredients to make you a delicious meal.â
The thought did cross Gu Shaotingâs mind. If he hadnât compromised and Shu Pan decided to ignore him forever, how would he live? He had to do something to end the fight.
Now that he realized that she cared so much about him, he couldnât feel any grievances. On the contrary, his heart was filled with warmth.
Suddenly, he smelled a burnt smell. âThe gravy around the pork ribs has been reduced so much. Are they burnt? I wonder if they are still edibleâŠâ
âDarn. This is all your fault. You distracted me.â Shu Pan quickly turned off the stove when she saw the almost dry wok.
âItâs okay. As long as itâs made by you, I will love it.â Gu Shaoting pouted and said coquettishly.
âAlright then. Even if the ribs donât taste good, you must try your best to finish them because I made them specially for you.â Shu Pan replied sweetly with loving eyes.
Gu Shaotingâs heart stirred. No matter how the dish turned out, he would happily eat it.
âDo you want to take a shower and change out of your clothes first? I still have two more dishes to cook before we can eat.â Shu Pan was still suffering from morning sickness but the baby probably knew that today was his fatherâs birthday, so he had been more cooperative. Shu Pan only felt slightly nauseated but she did not vomit.
With that, Shu Pan tiptoed and turned around to kiss the corner of his mouth. âHubby, did you miss me when we were fighting?â

She seldom called him âhubbyâ, so he was a little lost as he felt his heart melt.
