âYour smile is so radiant and genuine. Youâre just short of a âIâm in loveâ sticker on your face.â Ye Xiaomengâs voice was quite loud, and people around them looked over.
Shu Panâs face flushed as she chuckled. âWhat are you talking about? My dear Miss Ye, can you please pay more attention to your image?â
âItâs true. I heard from He Ming that your incident scared Gu Shaoting to death. Heâs never seen him panic like that before.â Ye Xiaomengâs expression was a little exaggerated when she said that. Shu Pan couldnât help but smile.
A gentle smile that made people feel very comfortable.
Seeing Shu Panâs âin loveâ expression, Ye Xiaomeng was genuinely happy for best friend.
Shu Pan had so many suitors, but none of them seemed to be able to mover her, except for Gu Shaoting.
Perhaps it was because of deep love that she hurt so deeply.
Ye Xiaomeng suddenly called Shu Panâs name and said with a serious expression, âPanpan, you must be happy. Although Gu Shaoting has hurt you before, I support you getting back together if he can protect you for the rest of your life. After all, no one is without mistakes. Moreover, heâs Joyâs father. This kind of blood relationship can never be broken.â
âI know, Xiaomeng. I can see his sincerity. I will slowly try to let him in, especially after this incident. It feels like a rebirth. You donât know how I felt in that moment of despair. I thought to myself, if I survive, I will let go of everything. The rest of my life is not long. I really should cherish it.â Shu Pan said emotionally.
Finally, they could start eating. Shu Pan picked up the cooked food and put it in Xiaomengâs bowl. The two of them chatted and laughed as they ate.
Halfway through the meal, Gu Shaoting called.
Shu Pan was stunned. âExcuse me for answering this call.â
Ye Xiaomeng waved her hand. Gu Shaotingâs voice was as deep and sexy as ever when he said, âWhy arenât you home? Where are you now?â
It sounded like a reprimand, but Shu Pan knew that he was concerned about her. She replied gently, âIâm eating hotpot with Xiaomeng outside.â After a short pause, she heard Gu Shaoting say, âWhere?â
âHaidilao on Guilin North Road.â Shu Pan paused before she continued, âYou donât like hotpot anyway. Have you eaten?â
âUm, I havenât eaten yet. You guys continue. Eat more.â Gu Shaoting hung up after saying that.
Shu Pan didnât give it much thought and continued eating.
âGirl, you guys are still in the early stages of your relationship and you are already stuck together? I didnât expect Gu Shaoting, the CEO of a corporation, to be so diligent.â Ye Xiaomeng was shocked.
âNo, heâs just asking. Isnât your He Ming way clingier?â Shu Pan checkmated Ye Xiaomeng.
Just as they were about done with their meal, Gu Shaoting came looking for them.
Shu Pan thought that she was seeing things. Why was he here?
âWhy are you here? Weâre almost done.â Shu Pan said.
âItâs okay. Iâm here to pick you up. I just ate something to fill my stomach.â Gu Shaoting had nothing to do anyvvay. He wished that he could stick to Shu Pan every day.
Gu Shaoting saw that they were about to leave, so he asked for the bill and paid it.
Ye Xiaomeng saw that and said deliberately, âSigh, if I knew that someone was paying, I would have ordered more and picked the expensive ingredients.â
âItâs okay. Come and eat again when you have time. Iâll pay for it.â Gu Shaoting would do anything to make Shu Pan happy, let alone buying her hotpot meals with her best friend.
âYouâll be stuffed to death. Letâs go.â Shu Pan gave Ye Xiaomeng a gentle shove.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYouâre already the lady of the house?â Ye Xiaomeng raised her eyebrows before they left the restaurant together.
The two of them had eaten to their heartâs content. Ye Xiaomeng was also happy, but her troubles were coming soon..
