Shu Pan couldnât bear it when she saw Gu Shaoting sweating profusely. She said, âShaoting, why donât you let me do it?â Gu Shaoting turned his head and said, âNo need. Dinner will be ready soon.â
Gu Shaoting then helped Shu Pan back to the sofa.
âUncle Gu, Iâm so hungry.â Joy pouted and rubbed her tummy.
âSoon.â Gu Shaoting regretted not ordering food delivery when he heard what his little darling said.
He thought cooking was easy. Shu Pan always did it so effortlessly. He only decided to cook to express his love.
But it looked like cooking required talent. Not everyone could do it well.
Shu Pan thouÃht for a bit and said, âHow about this? Iâll talk vou throuzh it.
Help me move a chair into the kitchen.â After tonightâs ordeal, her already hungry stomach was already growling.
âAlright.â Gu Shaoting nodded.
In the kitchen, Shu Pan instructed Gu Shaoting to add oil and wait for the oil to heat up before adding vegetables to stir-fry.
After half an hour, he finally finished cooking three dishes and a soup. They were all simple dishes, so it was relatively fast.
âUncle Gu, your cooking is really delicious.â Joy was probably famished, so everything tasted like heaven to her.
But Gu Shaoting was greatly encouraged by her words.
He said happily, âThen Uncle Gu will cook more often for you.â
He then turned to Shu Pan and said, âDonât underestimate me. I feel that I shouldnât squander my talent for cooking.â
Shu Pan was speechless. This man barely cooked a few extremely ordinary dishes and he had become arrogant?
But she had to admit that God had given him a handsome face and a sharp mind.
This man had hardly cooked but he managed to whip up a few tasty dishes with a little guidance.
After dinner and a shower, Shu Pan and Joy lay in bed while Gu Shaoting worked in the study.
After bedtime story, Shu Pan and Joy started chatting.
âJoy, do you want to Imow who your father is?â Shu Pan asked.
Joy suddenly widened her eyes. âIs Daddy coming back from work?â
Shu Pan patted Joyâs head and said gently, âWell, actually, Daddy has always been with you. Uncle Gu is your father.â
âReally? Thatâs great, but why didnât you tell me before?â Joy was a little unhappy.
âThatâs because Uncle is playing a game with you. A game where Uncle turns into Daddy.â Shu Pan could only make up a random excuse.
âThen Iâm going to find Daddy now.â Joy was so excited that she couldnât sleep.
âItâs very late now. Daddy is still working. Weâll find him tomorrow morning, okay?â Shu Pan coaxed her.
However, Shu Pan also understood how Joy felt. After all, she had never known who her father was. She must be really happy to finally know.
Joy was a little disappointed when she heard that. Fine, she would find her father tomorrow.
She counted many sheep before she fell asleep.
Shu Pan also felt a myriad of feelings. It was because of her selfishness that her child was deprived of fatherly love.
In a daze, Shu Pan fell asleep.
She would let that man be surprised tomorrow morning.
Gu Shaoting was busy until after midnight. He stood up and stretched before he went to Shu Panâs room. The mother and daughter were asleep with their heads touching.
He lowered his head and gave them each a kiss before he left the room reluctantly.
Gu Shaoting couldnât really fall asleep that night. It seemed that he hadnât been able to sleep well since Shu Pan and Joy came to live with him.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Every time he closed his eyes, the image of Shu Panâs shy and lovely appearance would appear in his mind, and then he would need to take a cold shower.
It seemed like he ought to speed up his pursuit of his wife..
