When He Ming heard that Hu Shanshan fell sick because she was so frightened, he snorted coldly. She had gotten off easy.
If she tried anything funny with Xiaomeng again, that wouldnât be the extent sheâd suffer.
It was another bright and beautiful morning. Rays of golden sunlight filtered through the windows into Shu Panâs room. Shu Pan opened her eyes and was turning over in bed when she was immediately startled awake by a warm breath. She opened her eyes and saw Gu Shaotingâs dark eyes staring at her with affection.
She didnât know how long he had been staring at her. It had been some time since he got into her bed. Joy was in her princess room next door. She had no idea when he came in.
Shu Panâs face instantly turned red. She said angrily, âWhy did you come over to watch me sleep?â
Gu Shaotingâs thin lips twitched as he glanced at her but he didnât say anything. He then lifted the blanket and got out of bed.
Shu Pan lay in bed, confused and a little annoyed. This man always did as he pleased. She wondered if she had slept uglyâ¦
He was so annoying, always coming and going without any warning.
She checked the time and figured that it was almost time for her to get out of bed too. She still had to go to work today. She didnât have time to think nonsensical thoughts.
After washing up, she walked into the living room and saw Gu Shaoting playing with Joy. He was really spoiling Joy rotten.
It was as if he wanted to make up for his absence all these years. He gave Joy everything she asked for. No matter how Shu Pan persuaded him, he ignored her.
She walked up to Joy and said, âJoy, do you know who is coming to see you tonight?â
âWho?â Joy asked excitedly.
âTake a guess.â Shu Pan kept her in suspense.
Joy tilted her head and thought hard. âIs it Grandpa and Grandma?â
âNo. Didnât you visit them not long ago? Wait a little longer before we visit them again.â
âThen who is it? Give me a hint, Mommy.â Joy pouted.
Shu Pan thought for a moment and gave her a hint. âAmusement park.â âIs this Uncle Wen?â Joyâs eyes immediately lit up.
âThatâs correct. He has come back from a faraway place.â Shu Pan was very surprised when she got Wen Chiâs call last night because he had been oversees for a while, studying, and then working. They had even briefly lost contact.
When he called her last night and asked her to guess who it was, she was extremely happy. He was her very good friend. There was even a time when they almost dated. It was Mrs. Wen who reminded her of the reality. In any case, she had a special place for him in her heart. He was just a very dear friend whom she missed very much.
Joy clapped her hands happily. âYay, I get to see him again. I havenât seen him for so long.â
âDo you miss him?â Shu Pan asked with a smile.
âYes, Mommy. What about you?â The little girl nodded and asked Shu Pan back.
âYeah, me too.â Shu Pan patted Joyâs head.
Shu Pan also believed that Joy would miss him because those two had spent so much time together when Joy was little. They were very close.
Gu Shaoting stood, feeling left out, as he watched the happy conversation between the mother and daughter. He felt like the unwanted guest who couldnât contribute to the conversation.
He also had an incomprehensible expression on his face. It seemed that this Wen guy was quite important to the mother and daughterâ¦
What kind of man was he? Gu Shaoting really wanted to meet Wen Chi.
Shu Pan stood up and then saw Gu Shaoting. She saw that he was already dressed, but he had a frown and seemed unhappy.
She was also stunned momentarily. âLetâs go to work first. Weâll meet again when Wen Chi is here.â
Shu Pan had nothing to hide from him..
