In the evening, after finishing work, Shu Pan walked out of the company and stood at the entrance waiting for Gu Shaoting.
Today, because Joy was invited by a classmate to attend a birthday party, she didnât join them.
When Gu Shaoting drove up to pick up Shu Pan, many colleagues noticed.
Various thoughts crossed their minds. Some thought, âThe CEO still values Shu Pan, otherwise why would he come to pick her up?â Others speculated that Shu Pan was just vain, not caring that the CEO had found someone else and was still with him.
Shu Pan didnât care about what others thought. She openly opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat. Gu Shaoting leaned over, fastened her seatbelt, and planted a kiss on her cheek.
âEveryone is watching,â Shu Pan reminded him, startled.
âItâs okay, I just want to show affection,â Gu Shaoting said, pulling her close.
Shu Panâs face flushed red.
âLetâs go, itâs late,â she urged him.
Because they were close by, everyone could see their interactions clearly, and this time, no one made wild guesses.
They thought to themselves, âWe should butter up Shu Pan from now on. She might become the bossâs wife soon.â
It was normal for men to put on a show in public, so there was no need to make a big deal out of it.
When Gu Shaoting and Shu Pan arrived at the private room in the restaurant, Joy hadnât arrived yet.
This private room was insisted upon by Joy because she claimed to be a public figure now and didnât want to cause a commotion.
When Gu Shaoting heard this, he felt like he had a crow flying over his head. He never knew his sister was so self-absorbed.
Shortly after Shu Pan sat down, she excused herself to go to the restroom.
A while later, Joy arrived. She was wearing denim overalls, sporting glasses, and exuded youthful energy, the appropriate attire for her age.
Gu Shaoting was finally satisfied.
âBro, you said youâd introduce me to someone. How come itâs just you?â Huanhuan patted his shoulder and remarked.
âYou sit down, she went to the restroom,â Gu Shaoting replied casually.
âBro, youâre really not thoughtful enough. You got a girlfriend and didnât even mention it,â Huanhuan reproached, âYou made me go around telling people how great the CEO of Gu Group is, and many people eager for his help were lining up to introduce women to him, but you just turned them all away without even looking at them. If it werenât for your previous marriage, Iâd suspect your sexual orientation. â
Sigh! For the sake of grandpa, for the sake of the Gu Familyâs posterity, she also put in a lot of effort, you know?
Seeing Gu Shaoting remain silent, Huanhuan continued, âBro, what kind of women do you actually like? Innocent ones? Sexy ones?â
âYouâll find out soon enough,â Gu Shaoting said leisurely, picking up a teacup and slowly sipping his tea.
Huanhuan was very shocked. Although she had already guessed a bit, getting her brother to admit it in person wasnât easy.
Just then, Shu Pan pushed open the door and entered.
âWhy did it take you so long? I was starting to worry,â Gu Shaoting spoke up first.
âOh, I happened to run into a classmate I hadnât seen in a long time, so we chatted for a bit,â Shu Pan replied with a faint smile.
Huanhuan was completely stunned, as if struck by lightning. Her brother always surprised her in different ways.
âCome on, Huanhuan, she would be your in-law,â Gu Shaoting beckoned to her.
Shu Pan was once again startled by this unexpected address.
âSister, hiâ Gu Huanhuan called out sweetly. She was very cooperative. It seemed that she would soon become her in-law.
âHello, Huanhuan, right? You can call me Shu Pan,â Shu Pan said with a smile, looking gentle and lovely.
Huanhuan was also a bit dumbfounded. Used to seeing women in the entertainment industry with heavy makeup, now seeing Shu Pan, she felt she was very clean and innocent, giving a comfortable feeling.. Moreover, she spoke softly, making women feel somewhat moved, let alone men?
