Shu Pan was still rubbing her eyes.
Gu Shaoting said, âIf youâre tired, sleep a little longer.â He asked her and planned to get out of bed to see Joy.
He couldnât stand not seeing his precious daughter for a day.
âDonât go yet. I want to talk to you about something.â Shu Pan grabbed his hand.
âWhat is it?â Gu Shaoting was a little puzzled.
âAuntie Lu called today and said that my dadâs birthday is next week. Do you have time to go back with me?â Shu Pan asked carefully.
She didnât know what Gu Shaoting was thinking, so she didnât dare to decide for him.
Gu Shaotingâs eyes darkened slightly, and his tone was a little deeper than before. âWhen?â
âNext week. The exact time hasnât been decided yet. It depends on us.â Shu Pan looked at him, wanting to see his expression.
âThen let me know when you set a time. Weâll go back together.â Gu Shaoting had also thought of going back and telling them about his marriage with Shu Pan. After all, this was the basic respect.
âAlright.â Shu Pan said happily, âIâll get up now and make breakfast for you.â Shu Pan went out eagerly.
She was really easy to satisfy, unlike the others who were insatiable.
Gu Shaoting smiled and shook his head. How childish she was!
At noon, Gu Shaoting suddenly called and said that he was going on a business trip for two days.
It was a little sudden, but Gu Shaoting had been busy recently, so Shu Pan was not used to seeing him. However, she still felt a little disappointed seeing that he was not at home.
Gu Shaoting just wanted to arrange his work as soon as possible so that he could prepare for the wedding in the following days.
Moreover, the most important thing now was to move. Tongyuan had been renovated and had been placed there for so long, so he decided to move in.
After they get married, the population might increase in the future.
He would give her a surprise when he came back from his business trip. Just as Shu Pan was deep in thought, Gu Shaoting called. âAre you awake?â âYes. Iâm not sleepy anymore.â Shu Pan nodded.
âRemember to find something to eat. I should have brought you out on a business trip.â Now that he would be away from Shu Pan for some time, Gu Shaoting felt out of place.
Habits were a scary thing.
Shu Pan understood the meaning behind his words and blushed.
âGo ahead. Iâm going to pack my things. I plan to go to work next Monday.â It was too boring at home.
Shu Pan hung up the phone and wanted to tidy up the study.
She looked at the white paper on the table and couldnât help but pick up a pen. Her mind kept picturing the image of herself and Gu Shaoting slowly getting older.
Shu Pan picked up the pen and closed her eyes. Gu Shaotingâs every move was already in her heart.
She remembered that when she was married to Gu Shaoting, she secretly drew many portraits of him. Everything about him was deeply engraved in her heart.
Now, as Shu Pan thought about it, her hand involuntarily started drawing.
She planned to draw more portraits of him in the future. When she was old, she would take it out and look at it slowly.
While Shu Pan was drawing, Ye Xiaomeng called. âGirl, what are you busy with?â
âNothing. Itâs like raising a pig at home now.â
âAre you alright? Letâs have a drink tonight.â Ye Xiaomeng urged. She no longer held any hope for her pregnancy.
Although the doctor didnât give her the âdeath penalty,â their furrowed brows already explained everything.
She didnât need anyoneâs comfort or sympathy.
Although He Ming said to let nature take its course, she had seen the longing in his eyes when he looked at other children.
Therefore, she was in a dilemma. She did not know how to choose..
