Shu Pan pretended not to hear and continued eating.
To avoid awkwardness, Wen Chi changed the topic. âShu Pan, how about bringing Joy to Bin City next time for a visit?â
âWell, Iâm planning to bring her here to study later.â
âThatâs great. If you ever face any difficulties, remember to tell me. Weâre friends. Donât hesitate,â Wen Chi emphasized.
âOkay,â Shu Pan nodded in response.
Later, Wen Chi finished his meal and left. However, Shu Pan couldnât help but feel that there was something more to Wen Chiâs hints, and even the most obtuse person would have sensed it.
Shu Panâs mind was in turmoil, but she felt she didnât deserve someone as good as Dr. Wen, especially as a divorced woman.
Tong Fei was about to go abroad for a photoshoot, so she planned to meet with Gu Shaoting at the company since they would be separated for some time.
Tong Fei wore a tasteful and elegant knee-length dress, exuding grace and elegance. Whenever she appeared in front of others, she was in her best state, leaving a lasting impression.
Tong Fei walked into Gu Shaotingâs company in high heels, her slender and pointed heels making a âclack, clackâ sound on the office floor. Everyone in the company was aware of their relationship, so no one stopped her. She wanted to surprise Gu Shaoting, so she didnât want anyone to inform him.
Firstly, their relationship had been rumored, and secondly, Tong Fei had previously been a spokesperson for the Gu family. It was nearly impossible for such a high-profile couple to keep their relationship secret.
Tong Fei quietly entered Gu Shaotingâs office.
âShaotingâ¦â Tong Feiâs voice was sweet as she affectionately called Gu Shaoting.
âWhy do you have time to come over?â Gu Shaoting raised his head from his documents.
âOh, Iâm leaving for an overseas photoshoot tomorrow, and I wonât be able to see you for quite a few days. Iâll miss you, so I came to have a meal with you. Are you free?â Tong Fei moved closer, sat on the armrest of Gu Shaotingâs chair, and then embraced his neck, lightly brushing his forehead with her lips.
Gu Shaoting was somewhat unaccustomed to her intimate actions and furrowed his brows.
He stood up as an excuse, walked over to the water dispenser, and took a sip of water.
âYouâll be gone for a few days? When are you leaving? Do you need me to have a driver take you?â Gu Shaoting concealed his inner discomfort and asked Tong Fei.
âI have an early morning flight, and my agency will send a car. Thanks for offering though,â Tong Fei replied. When she heard Gu Shaoting offer to have a driver take her, her heart ached slightly.
It seemed that every time, a driver was arranged to pick her up, but he had never personally gone to the airport to see her off.
Tong Fei looked into his eyes, and even though they were close, she found that she couldnât understand him anymore.
âThatâs fine. If you need any help, feel free to ask,â Gu Shaoting said after taking a sip of water, and he walked back.
âIs there anything youâd like to eat? You can choose,â Gu Shaoting continued.
âIs sushi okay?â Tong Fei asked cautiously.
âThatâs fine. Whatever you like. Just wait a moment, Iâll tidy up, and we can go,â Gu Shaoting replied casually.
The two of them closed the door and left together, Tong Fei quickly hooking her arm around Gu Shaotingâs. The employees in the company saw them greet each other and then lowered their heads to work.
Tong Fei raised her head, swaying her graceful waist, appearing extremely proud, like a triumphant rooster.
Assistant Zhang, on the other hand, felt secretly uncomfortable. Tong Fei always liked to boss people around whenever she came, whereas he knew the former Madam to be gentle and low-profile. They were two completely different people..
