Chapter 713: Unresigned
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
John was stunned when he heard that. He didnât know that Gu Shaoting and his wife had gone through so much.
He was suddenly at a loss for words. He felt that his request might have been too much, but when he thought about his precious daughter, he held back his apology.
Gu Shaoting didnât feel that an apology was in order and he wasnât angry. âMr. John, sorry to disturb you. Iâll take my leave first.â
âAlright then.â John looked at Gu Shaotingâs departing figure and felt a little lonely. He wondered if he had done something wrong.
âDad, whereâs Brother Gu? He left? Did he reject the offer?â Charlene barged into the study without knocking.
âWhere are your manners? Look at you now. Whatâs wrong with you?â John reprimanded sternly. Charlene was becoming increasingly unruly.
âDad⊠Iâm just anxious about the outcome.â Charlene said coquettishly.
âSigh, Shaoting didnât agree. Sweetie, youâre still young and you have choices. Shaoting and his wife are very close, so donât think about this anymore.â John advised. How could she be happy if she married someone who didnât love her?
âDad, I only like Brother Gu. He doesnât know me well or he would like me back.â Charlene explained anxiously. If her own father wouldnât help her, she would have even less hope of ending up together with Gu Shaoting. fÉŸÄewebnÏveâ.com
âHow stubborn of you. Gu Shaoting doesnât like you; he doesnât love you. Thatâs the truth. You wonât be happy with someone who doesnât love you.â John said angrily. He wanted to tell her that it was better to rip the Band-Aid off.
âDad, I hate you.â After Charlene finished speaking, she turned and left the study sobbing.
John shook his head helplessly. He would let Charlene calm down and think things through.
It was all his fault for spoiling her. He hoped that Charlene would learn her lesson this time.
After Charlene left the study, she went back to her room and wailed on her bed.
She was really unresigned. Why didnât Gu Shaoting like her?
What was so bad about her?
No, she couldnât give up just like that.
Charlene washed up, put on a white strapless dress and perfect makeup. She then left the house, looking charming with the latest Chanel bag on her shoulder.
Of course, the person she was going to see was Gu Shaoting.
After Gu Shaoting left Johnâs house, he went straight to the office.
Since he couldnât get the loan, he had to go back to the office and convene a meeting to discuss alternative solutions.
As soon as he arrived at the office, he received a call from Shu Pan.
Gu Shaoting was startled, thinking that something bad had happened.
âIâm fine. I just miss you.â Shu Panâs slightly melancholic voice came from the other end of the phone.
âHas the baby been good?â Gu Shaoting asked gently, his voice filled with concern.
âYeah, itâs not as troublesome now. I just lack appetite every now and then.â Shu Pan took the opportunity to complain.
âThank you for putting up with it, my dear.â Gu Shaoting blamed himself. He should have been by her side during this special period, but he had to leave because of trouble at the company.
âItâs okay. Iâm enjoying the process. Is work going well for you?â Shu Pan asked.
âUm⊠Well enough. Donât worry.â Gu Shaoting said summarily. He couldnât let her worry. He was the man of the house and he would handle the problem.
âThatâs good. Please remember to rest. I wonât disturb you anymore. Iâm going shopping with Xiaomeng later. I want to get a couple of maternity dresses. My clothes feel a little tight now.â Shu Pan nagged.
But Gu Shaoting liked to hear Shu Pan complain about daily, trivial things. It felt normal and it warmed his heart. This was the happiness he was after.
