Shu Pan was aware that her feet were cold, but that was just the way her body was.
She chuckled innocently and shrugged, âI didnât do it on purpose. Itâs just a condition I have.â
Gu Shaoting gently rubbed her foot in his palm, causing Shu Pan to laugh and squirm.
Watching her radiant and adorable face, he hesitated for a moment, his gaze becoming somewhat intense. Unable to resist, he bent down and kissed her lips repeatedly.
After their lips parted, Shu Pan moved back slightly, then asked, âHow are things in France?â
âEverythingâs sorted out, donât worry,â Gu Shaoting reassured her, patting her head.
âThen you wonât be going on any more trips soon, right?â
âNo, not for the foreseeable future.â
Shu Pan smiled happily upon hearing this.
It had been several days since they had last seen each other, and Gu Shaoting was taken aback by her charming demeanor. He suddenly tightened his grip on her hand, pushing her onto the bed, and kissed her passionately.
âMmmâ¦â
It had been a while since they had been this intimate, and the feeling of kissing and embracing was exhilarating.
Shu Pan held onto his neck, responding to his kisses.
Gu Shaoting held her even tighter. Shu Pan hadnât expected him to be so excited. She looked into his eyes, which seemed eager and thirsty, like a parched land craving moisture after a long drought.
As his kisses grew deeper and the clothes were disturbed, she quickly grabbed his hand. âShaoting, stop, Joy will wake up soon.â
Shu Pan remained rational. She had thought about this issue.
âI know,â Gu Shaotingâs voice had become hoarse.
Though he agreed, his actions didnât cease.
Shu Pan almost succumbed to his tenderness. She struggled in his arms, âLet me go, Joy is coming.â
But Gu Shaoting remained unfazed. He continued kissing her while saying,
âIâve locked the door.â
âShaotingâ¦â Shu Pan pouted, unaware that her shy demeanor only stimulated Gu Shaoting further.
His breath grew heavy as he left kisses on her body, leaving marks on her fair skin, which eased his mind.
âMommy, are you awake?â Suddenly, there was a knock on the door from outside. It was evident that Joy had woken up. Fortunately, Gu Shaoting had locked the door.
âThatâs enough,â Shu Panâs voice trembled slightly.
Gu Shaoting reluctantly stood up, straightened his clothes, and then opened the door.
âSweetheartâ¦â Gu Shaoting reached out and lifted her up, then kissed her tender cheek.
âWow, Daddy, youâre back! I missed you so much, â Joy hugged Gu Shaotingâs neck, acting spoiled.
Gu Shaotingâs heart immediately melted.
Before, he didnât mind going on business trips, feeling no attachments. But since he had Shu Pan and Joy, he wasnât keen on traveling anymore. He tried to delegate as much as possible. However, this time, it was inevitable. Mr. John was their biggest partner, and this matter required his personal intervention. âDaddy missed you too,â Gu Shaoting carried Joy out of the room to give Shu
Pan time to get dressed and freshen up.
Father and daughter whispered in the living room.
After seeing off the two, Gu Shaoting returned to the bedroom intending to catch up on some sleep because he was exhausted from the long flight. He slept until the afternoon and woke up to find it was almost 5 p.m., realizing he had slept the entire day.
Remembering something important, he immediately called the designer who was working on the ring design.
He had already contacted the designer before his business trip, but he didnât know if the design was completed. This matter was now his top priority..
