However, Huanhuan still felt a bit afraid, because her cousinâs temper was unpredictable. Sending this photo seemed to challenge his limits.
Who told him to always boss her around? She wanted to drive him crazy. When Gu Shaoting heard his phone chime with a WeChat notification, he casually took out his phone and tapped it, thinking it was junk because very few people messaged him on WeChat; they usually just called.
He casually opened the message, but the corner of his eye caught something, freezing his movement and locking his gaze onto the screen.
He stared at the screen for quite a while, and the more he looked, the tighter his brow furrowed, feeling a fire ignite in his heart.
What kind of dress was she wearing? What was the difference between wearing it and not wearing it? Because of her fair skin, and the dress being a light yellow, the effect was stunning.
As he looked, he felt a stirring in a certain part of his body.
Unable to resist, he sent a message back to the audacious Huanhuan, âIf you make your cousin-in-law wear such clothes, you can expect me to deal with you.â
After sending the message, he irritably reached into his pocket, pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and smoked while continuing to gaze at Shu Panâs photo through the haze of smoke, his eyes scanning her chest absentmindedly.
As he looked, he started to feel restless, taking drags from his cigarette and pacing around the room, while Joy played in her room. He headed straight for the balcony.
After a momentâs thought, he picked up his phone and dialed Shu Panâs number.
It rang for a while before she answered.
âAre you there?â Gu Shaoting suppressed his feelings, trying to sound as natural as possible.
âNot yet. Still at the salon picking out clothes,â Shu Pan replied, her ears still red from the embarrassment of the dress earlier.
Thankfully, Huanhuan had changed her mind.
Originally, Huanhuan had insisted that the dress she was wearing was the most suitable for the occasion. However, when her phone chimed with a WeChat notification, she glanced at it, her expression changing slightly. Then she told Shu Pan that the dress seemed a bit revealing and she was worried she wouldnât be comfortable in it.
Of course, Shu Pan always covered herself up tightly, so after Huanhuan spoke,
âHave you not chosen yet?â Gu Shaoting asked calmly.
âUh⦠no, not yet. I havenât found anything suitable yet,â Shu Pan replied, regretting agreeing to accompany Huanhuan to the event. After all, she wasnât accustomed to such occasions and would definitely feel uncomfortable.
Gu Shaoting heard Shu Panâs hesitant tone and knew she was feeling guilty.
He guessed that Huanhuan wouldnât have the courage to ask her to wear such a dress again.
âHow about you donât go? Come back, let Huanhuan go by herself. If she wants company, Iâll find someone to accompany her,â Gu Shaoting suggested. He didnât want Shu Pan to attend such an event; there were too many temptations, and the entertainment industry was full of mixed motives. Shu Panâs purity stood out, and he didnât want her to be influenced by any negative influences.
Shu Pan was torn. She saw Huanhuan still diligently helping her pick out clothes and suddenly couldnât bring herself to speak up.
âOh well, itâs fine. Just consider it broadening my horizons.â She thought.
Shu Pan consoled herself.
âItâs okay, Iâll stay with her. Since Iâm already here, okay, I wonât keep you. Itâs almost time,â she said, and as soon as Gu Shaoting responded, she hung up.
âWas that my cousin?â Huanhuan asked knowingly.
âYeah, he was bored at home, so he called to check on me,â Shu Pan replied, feeling embarrassed to mention that he wanted her to come back.
âOh, I see,â Huanhuan nodded. She didnât need to be told; she knew Gu Shaoting had called to encourage Shu Pan to come back, fearing she might dress provocatively.
What a selfish man..
