Gu Shaoting left home and, seeing that it was still early, drove straight to Lotus Town to see Joy.

Oh, how lonely and pitiful a man can be without his wife and daughter by his side.

Joy was overjoyed to see her daddy, which somewhat comforted Gu Shaoting’s saddened soul.

“Daddy, did Mommy go on a trip? Why didn’t you go with her?” Joy asked, puzzled.

“Because Mommy went with your godmother, and boys aren’t allowed,” Gu Shaoting feigned helplessness.

“Poor Daddy,” Joy said sympathetically.

“Are you having fun at Grandpa’s house?” Gu Shaoting asked.

“Yes, I can play with the kids next door. Can I invite her to our house in the future?” Joy’s innocent voice chimed in.

“Of course, you can invite your good friends to play,” Gu Shaoting said, patting her head. She was such a lovely child.

In Singappore, after dinner at the hotel, Ye Xiaomeng decided to go swimming in the rooftop pool.

They had only stayed at the villa for a day because it was too expensive, and both of them felt bad about it. So, they found another hotel with a garden outside.

The highlight of this hotel was the rooftop pool, which offered a panoramic view of Singapore.

Ye Xiaomeng dragged Shu Pan up to the rooftop.

Shu Pan had also changed into the swimsuit bought together with Gu Shaoting. However, as expected, Ye Xiaomeng didn’t hold back her criticism of the swimsuit, deeming it worthless.

“Girl, you’re here to travel and broaden your horizons. Why did you buy such a swimsuit that looks like it’s meant for elementary school kids? My goodness, it’s a one-piece with a little skirt!” Ye Xiaomeng didn’t need to think twice to know that it was Gu Shaoting who had picked it out.

It was just too much. There were so many restrictions on his wife’s attire. What freedom did she have in life?

Ye Xiaomeng pondered for a moment, then pulled out a pink bikini set from her bag. Originally meant for herself, she had brought three sets just in case, and now she could conveniently lend one to Shu Pan.

Shu Pan was taken aback when she saw Ye Xiaomeng offering her the two pieces of fabric. “I already have a swimsuit,” she said.

“If you wear that here, I won’t even want to stand next to you,” Ye Xiaomeng said disdainfully. “We’re out here, no one will recognize us. We can have fun to our heart’s content. Loosen up a bit; your man won’t even know.”

Seeing Shu Pan’s reaction, Ye Xiaomeng thought she was concerned about Gu Shaoting. But upon further reflection, she realized she sounded like she was encouraging her to do something wrong.

“It’s just that I’ve never worn a bikini before. It might feel weird,” Shu Pan said, feeling a bit awkward.

“If you’ve never worn one, all the more reason to wear it. Women need to show their elegance. If not now, then when? When you’re old and gray?” Ye Xiaomeng looked at her friend, who seemed hesitant.

“Okay then,” Shu Pan took the swimsuit and went into the changing room.

Ye Xiaomeng nodded in satisfaction.

When Shu Pan emerged, she looked a bit embarrassed, wrapping herself tightly in a towel.

“Girl, I feel like I’ve been defeated by you,” Ye Xiaomeng rubbed her forehead, feeling a slight headache coming on.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“I’m not used to it. It feels a bit… uncomfortable. The straps don’t feel very secure,” Shu Pan said softly.

Ye Xiaomeng stared at Shu Pan until she slowly unwrapped the towel.

Ye Xiaomeng’s eyes widened. “Girl, do you know what you’re missing out on? Confidence. You look so good in it. Why worry? It’s such a waste.”

“Really?” Shu Pan asked, unsure.

“Definitely,” Ye Xiaomeng replied. “Give me your phone. Let me take a picture for you to see.”
