âThatâs true. Thereâs no need to care about those ceremonial things. After all, youâve registered your marriage, and youâre officially Madam Gu.â Ye Xiaomeng said emotionally. Status was still very important to a woman.
âMm, Iâll just leave it up to him.â She was used to not having a wedding before. If there was no wedding now, she could still treat it normally.
âWell, letâs see what he does. You guys will probably celebrate tonight, so I wonât disturb you. Letâs meet again this weekend.â Ye Xiaomeng said with a smile.
âAlright, letâs meet up when weâre free.â Shu Pan thought about it. She was only free on the weekend. Today was a day off for all the employees in the company. They had to go to work as usual tomorrow.
After Ye Xiaomeng hung up the phone, she felt a little bitter. Panpan had found happiness, but where was her happiness?
He Mingâs attitude had always been the same, but she didnât know how long He Ming could hold on. Mother He often called to persuade him to break up with her.
Her words were also very harsh. What was the use of a hen that couldnât lay eggs? The He family was probably going to end its line of succession in He Mingâs generation.
When Ye Xiaomeng first heard it, she almost broke down. She had encountered all kinds of words and strange looks in the past, but she could face them calmly because she didnât care.
However, she loved He Ming, so she became very concerned about other peopleâs gazes and opinions, especially his family.
He Ming had already mentioned marriage a few times, but she pretended not to hear it. She also gave herself some time. If she really wasnât pregnant, she wanted to break up. She didnât want to be the sinner of the He family.
He Ming loved her, but Xiaomeng didnât know how long his love for her could last. She was afraid that he would regret it in the future, so she would make the decision.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ye Xiaomeng fell into deep thought and couldnât come back to her senses for a long time.
After dinner, Shu Pan looked at Gu Shaoting and Joy playing and thought that there was nothing to celebrate.
She planned to turn around and return to her room.
âPanpan, change your clothes. Weâre going out. The dew is heavy at night.â Gu Shaoting stopped her.
âWhere are we going?â Shu Pan asked curiously.
âItâs a secret.â Gu Shaoting kept her in suspense. Then, he continued, âYouâll know when you get there.â
Shu Pan listened to him and changed into a thicker dress. She came out with a knitted cardigan in her hand.
âDaddy, Mommy, where are you going?â Joy saw them and asked with a pout. Her pout was so big that she could hang an oil bottle on it.
âJoy, stay home with Grandma. Weâll be back soon.â Gu Shaoting coaxed Joy. He didnât want to bring such a big third wheel out.
âAlright then. You guys have to come back quickly. Otherwise, Iâll be very bored.â Joy compromised.
Gu Shaoting pulled Shu Pan out of the door.
Why was he being so mysterious? She saw that their car was driving towards the riverside.
Shu Pan quietly looked at the night view outside the car window. Perhaps it was because she was in a good mood, but she felt that the night view outside was especially beautiful.
Finally, the car stopped by the river. Gu Shaoting got out first and then opened the door for Shu Pan. He made a âpleaseâ gesture and Shu Pan got out like a queen.
The wind by the river was indeed strong, but Shu Pan didnât feel cold when she put on her coat.
Gu Shaoting held Shu Panâs hand and they walked to the riverside. They stood beside the fence. Shu Pan looked around and saw that there were quite a few people.
Indeed, the night view here was the best in Bin City. There were many tall buildings on the opposite bank, and many couples came here for dates.
âCome, close your eyes.â Gu Shaoting said gently.
âWhat are you doing?â Shu Panâs bright eyes twinkled under the neon lights.
âBe good and close your eyes. Youâll know later.â Gu Shaoting still refused to say anything else.
