âWhy would there be a dog in the office? Do you need a Tetanus shot?â Tang Wei asked in all seriousness, defeating Shu Pan completely.
âNah. Iâll recover given time.â Shu Pan said casually.
MO Lan walked in subsequently, stomping her feet. She thought with gritted teeth that she couldnât do anything to Shu Pan now, but she would catch Shu Pan one day and stop her arrogance.
She used to think that Shu Pan was a pushover, but her eyes had been opened today. Shu Pan had been hiding her true self.
Tang Wei saw MO Lanâs sulky face and gave Shu Pan a look that asked her what was going on.
Shu Pan shrugged her shoulders and went back to work.
Tang Wei didnât get any inside scoop and went back to work too.
When it was almost knock-off time, Gu Shaoting called Shu Pan. Shu Pan saw the caller ID and was worried that someone would see it, so she secretly picked up the call.
âCan you leave now? Iâll wait for you at the intersection across the street. If youâre not down in 10 minutes, Iâll go up and look for you.â Gu Shaoting hung up before Shu Pan could speak.
Shu Pan was furious. When would this person ever learn to respect others? He was always so domineering.
Shu Pan had no choice. She was more afraid that he would run up to find her if she didnât show up. Therefore, she left the moment knock-off time came and rushed to the intersection across the street as quickly as she could.
Shu Pan didnât act like a thief this time. She quickly opened the car door and got in.
Gu Shaoting smiled in satisfaction at her speed. Sure enough, threats worked better.
Shu Pan said that she needed to go to the supermarket to get groceries after they picked Joy up and it wasnât convenient to go shopping with Joy in tow.
Hearing this, Gu Shaoting immediately said, âIâll go too. I can help carry things.â
âItâs just groceries. Nothing too heavy.â Shu Pan replied.
âLetâs go and see what our little beauty Joy wants to eat.â Gu Shaoting ignored Shu Panâs reply, picked Joy up and walked forward.
If anyone who knew him saw this scene, they would be shocked. It was because he was the CEO of Gu Group who was always ruthless and decisive in the business world.
But now? He was like a very sticky plaster in front of the mother and daughter, the kind that couldnât be removed even if one tried.
Shu Pan couldnât figure out his intentions and couldnât believe the change in his behavior. Perhaps he would turn cold again after he recovered his memoriesâ¦
Her scars from the past hadnât healed yet and still hurt occasionally.
But lately, Gu Shaoting had been looking at her more passionately and his behavior in front of her had changed a lot. She even wondered sometimes if he was still the same person.
âWhatâs on your mind? Why are you so engrossed?â Gu Shaoting saw that she was in a daze and interrupted her train of thought.
âNothing much. Iâm just thinking about what to cook tonight.â Shu Pan said perfunctorily.
âI would like to have sweet and sour pork ribs, green pepper beef, boiled Chinese cabbage, and chestnut chicken soup.â Gu Shaoting rattled off a few dishes in one breath.
âJoy, what would you like to eat?â Shu Pan didnât respond to Gu Shaoting but asked Joy.
âI would like to have the same dishes as Uncle Gu.â Joy said proudly.
Joyâs favorite person now was her mother, followed by Uncle Gu. Because Uncle Go picked her up from school early every day in his car and her classmates all thought that Uncle Gu was her father and were very envious.
Because Uncle Gu was super handsome. A few children in her class even said that they would like to switch fathers.
But this was her secret, one that she wouldnât tell anyone.
Every time Uncle Gu came, he would buy her a toy or a Barbie doll. She really wished that he was her father.
She would ask her mother one day if Uncle Gu could be her father..n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
