Chapter 738: Suspicion
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
âGu Shaoting cheating? That sounds like a tall tale.â Everyone could see how Gu Shaoting doted on his wife; why would he cheat?
âItâs just a suspicion. When I called him yesterday, I didnât hear his voice. I only heard a womanâs voice, and she was calling him by name. If they werenât in an intimate relationship, why would they be in the same room so late at night?â
The seed of suspicion in Shu Panâs heart grew. Also, she didnât know if she was imagining it but the womanâs voice sounded familiar. She seemed to have heard it somewhere before.
However, she could not remember where she had heard it before.
âThis is indeed suspicious. Have you confronted him?â Ye Xiaomeng asked suddenly.
âNo, his phone is turned off.â Shu Pan said bitterly. freewebnÏvel.cŃłm
Ye Xiaomeng frowned. This was indeed suspicious. One really couldnât judge a book by its cover.
She said angrily, âDid he say when he would be back?â
âNot yet. His work problem hasnât been resolved yet. I donât think itâll be soon.â Shu Pan pursed her lips, her expression a little sad.
She had been feeling down since she heard the news yesterday.
âDonât worry. It could be a misunderstanding. Ask him when you get a chance.â Ye Xiaomeng comforted Shu Pan.
Shu Pan nodded.
âXiaomeng, your wedding is coming up soon. Are you nervous? Is everything ready?â Shu Pan asked.
âDonât get me started. Itâs He Ming whoâs been busy with the preparations. His mother doesnât really care. I saw He Ming running around and told him to simplify everything. Just invite our close friends and have dinner together. He doesnât need to sweat so much over the wedding.â Ye Xiaomeng started to share her grievances when her wedding was brought up.
They had already settled on a date, but because of his mother, they had changed it repeatedly. Ye Xiaomeng just felt tired. She couldnât care less about the wedding ceremony now.
Shu Pan looked at Xiaomengâs bulging belly and couldnât help but say, âThatâs true. In the end, youâre the ones who are stressed out. You must take care of yourself. You are getting bigger. You must be careful when you move around.â
âIf his mother is still not happy, I plan to just register the marriage and forget about the wedding.â Ye Xiaomeng thought that Mrs. He was probably unhappy with her when she changed their wedding date again at the last minute.
âTalk to her. Donât be rash.â Shu Pan was worried that her best friend would act impulsively and ruin things.
âDonât worry. For the sake of our baby, Iâll endure it. Besides, weâre not living together, so itâs fine. Itâs just that Iâm getting bigger by the day and Iâm embarrassed to have my gown altered again and again.â Ye Xiaomeng said in frustration.
Shu Pan could imagine the awkwardness of such a scene.
The two of them chatted for a while, but they werenât in any mood to shop. They both went home after having tea.
Shu Pan didnât receive a call from Gu Shaoting the entire day.
Shu Pan didnât want to call him again. She was worried that a woman would pick up the phone like last night.
She went home and sat on the sofa with her eyes closed like she was about to fall asleep.
âYou are home, Madam. Please go to your room and rest if you are tired.â Auntie Li walked over and reminded Shu Pan gently.
âYeah, I should.â Shu Pan nodded and got up to go to her bedroom.
Auntie Li looked at Shu Pan and felt that she was a little strange today. Mrs. Gu seemed unhappy today.
Shu Pan returned to her room and leaned against the headboard to rest before she took a shower.
Suddenly, the phone on the bedside table beeped a few times. It was a message.
Shu Pan was nervous. It was probably a message from Gu Shaoting. Sometimes, he worried that she was asleep and sent her messages instead.
She hurriedly picked up her phone and clicked on the new message.
Her face instantly turned as white as snow.
She couldnât believe her eyes. Everything she heard over the phone yesterday was real.
