When Gu Shaoting called, the designer informed him that the concept was ready but it wasnât quite there yet; good things take time.
Gu Shaoting instructed him to strive for perfection because he wanted to give her a truly unique ring.
After discussing some details with the designer, Gu Shaoting hung up the phone. Glancing at the time, he realized it was almost time to pick up Shu Pan and Joy.
While waiting at a traffic light, he received a call from his cousin, Gu
Huanhuan.
âBrother, where are you? Is Shu Pan with you?â
This girl was a real flatterer, as long as she didnât cause trouble, he was grateful.
According to the people he arranged, she had been busy filming a youth idol drama lately. Rumor had it that she was doing quite well and had garnered a group of fans. So, he felt reassured. Now, what did she want with Shu Pan?
âSheâs still at the office. Iâm going to pick her up now.â
âThen give me her phone number, Iâll call her.â Gu Huanhuan was being secretive, not revealing why she needed to talk to Shu Pan.
âWhy do you need to reach her?â Gu Shaoting knew this little devil was up to something mischievous and didnât want her influencing Shu Pan.
âWeâre having a celebration banquet, and many celebrities will be attending. I was wondering if she would be interested in coming?â Gu Huanhuan knew that if she didnât tell Gu Shaoting, he wouldnât give up easily.
During their last meal together, she had mentioned that she would introduce celebrities to Shu Pan if given the chance. She wasnât kidding, and now the opportunity had come.
âYour cousin-in-law isnât interested,â Gu Shaoting promptly declined.
âWhy not? Youâre not her, how do you know she wouldnât like it?â This was the first time Gu Huanhuan felt her brother was displaying severe male chauvinism.
âBecause cousin-in-lawâs favorite person is me,â Gu Shaoting boldly stated, showing his thick skin.
âEwwâ¦â Gu Huanhuan pretended to make a disgusted expression over the phone.
âYou little bratâ¦â Gu Shaoting chuckled helplessly.
âI donât care, just ask your cousin-in-law to call me once you pick her up. Those kinds of events are boring, and I donât know anyone, so I want someone to accompany me.â Gu Huanhuan lost her patience.
âAlright, Iâll ask her, so you can give up hope.â Gu Shaoting said nonchalantly. Shu Pan had never been interested in these kinds of social events, so he was confident she wouldnât go.
âFine.â Gu Huanhuan hung up the phone, thinking to herself, she had never seen her cousin care about any woman like this before. It showed that he truly loved her to the core. Her cousin was the kind of person who once he made up his mind, it was for a lifetime.
Gu Shaotingâs car slowly approached the entrance of Shu Panâs company, and he saw her standing on the roadside in front, waiting for him.
Today, she was wearing a white blouse paired with a knee-length dark green skirt and high heels, showing off her tall figure. The color combination made her look fair and elegant.
Gu Shaoting looked at Shu Pan, feeling a bit dumbfounded.
Why did he feel like she was becoming more charming? He realized he had been blind in the past, wasting so much time.
But perhaps it was the accumulation of time that made them cherish each other more and love each other more deeply now.
Shu Pan got into the car. âWhy arenât you resting at home?â
Gu Shaoting leaned over to help her fasten her seatbelt and planted a kiss on her cheek.
âYouâre crazy.â Shu Pan really felt that this man did whatever he pleased without considering the occasion. Dealing with coworkers all the time, it would be so awkward if they ran into each other tomorrow..
