After briefing his secretary, Mr. Zhang, Gu Shaoting drove to Shu Panâs office to find her.
Shu Pan wasnât surprised at all when she received his call because he was super clingy now.
Gu Shaoting wanted nothing more than to kiss her the moment she got into the car.
âWhat would you like to have for lunch?â Gu Shaoting asked sweetly.
âAnything is fine. Arenât you busy? Actually, I can just lunch with my colleagues on workdays. Itâs very tiring for you to run around like this.â Shu Pan felt bad that he was running around so much for her.
Gu Shaoting just smiled.
Shu Pan had no idea how much he looked forward to the time they spent together.
At lunch, Gu Shaoting kept putting food into Shu Panâs bowl.
âEnough.â Shu Pan cried out when she saw him give her more food. She would definitely put on weight if she ate like this.
âLook at how skinny you are. Please donât go on a diet like other women.â Gu Shaoting reminded her gently because there were too many women who blindly pursue weight loss.
âIâm not skinny but I wonât.â Shu Pan didnât think she was skinny. She thought she was slightly chubby. She didnât understand Gu Shaotingâs assessment of her weight.
âAnyway, I think youâre skinny.â Gu Shaoting didnât want to discuss in public how she felt under his touch, so he ended the conversation with this statement.
âBy the way, itâs my fatherâs birthday this weekend. Are you free to go back together with us?â Shu Pan suddenly remembered.
âYes. Weâll go back together to celebrate Dadâs birthday.â Was she kidding? He would find time to go back no matter how busy he was. His father-in-lawâs birthday was too important an event. Besides, he wanted to tell them in person about remarrying Shu Pan.
âGreat.â Shu Pan was happy that he cared about her fatherâs birthday.
The weekend soon arrived.
Joy knew that they were going back to see Grandpa and Grandma. She was so excited that she hardly slept the night before.
Gu Shaoting was driving when Joy sighed from the backseat. âDaddy, Mommy, why donât we ask Grandpa and Grandma to live with us?â
Joy liked her grandparents very much because they always doted on her and never raised their voices at her.
âYou can invite them to live with us when you see them later. Weâre moving in to a big house. You can even have a puppy.â Gu Shaoting replied with a smile.
Shu Pan gave him a sidelong glance; she didnât expect Gu Shaoting to say that. At least not based on his earlier attitude.
She couldnât imagine what he was thinking as he still had grudges against her father.
She didnât dare to ask if he had already forgotten all the grudges from before.
But she also understood that if a person truly loved another, he would also love the other personâs family and accept everything about her.
Gu Shaoting had never liked to go to his in-lawsâ house before. He was also indifferent to her father and Auntie Lu. Shu Pan finally understood this principle when she saw the contrast.
As she had called her father and Auntie Lu when on their way, she could see them waiting eagerly for them before they arrived at their house. They had been looking out for them, paying attention to every passing car.
Shu Pan saw them getting older by the day and felt sad.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
This visit, she would try to persuade them to move to Bin City so she could take care of them.
As soon as the car came to a stop, Joy opened the door and ran out.
âGrandpa, Grandma, I miss you so much.â Joy said coquettishly.
âYouâre really my little sweetheart. Let Grandpa see if youâve grown taller?â Shu Laide picked Joy up and laughed happily.
With Joy around, he forgot all his worries.
âDad, Auntie Luâ¦â Gu Shaoting and Shu Pan called out politely as they got out of the car.
âHi, hi. Itâs good that youâre back. Come on in.â Shu Laide was pleased. At least Gu Shaotingâs attitude seemed respectful..
