âI got it,â Shu Panâs words barely settled before Gu Shaoting hurriedly hung up the phone.
Shu Pan looked at the phone somewhat speechlessly. Things werenât quite as she had imagined.
After such a long time apart, shouldnât there have been a warm embrace first? But now she couldnât even see him.
âLooks like my brother is busy with wedding preparations. After all, organizing a wedding takes a lot of effort and there are so many details to attend to,â Gu Huanhuan said, noticing Shu Panâs disappointment, and quickly tried to comfort her.
âI understand. He must be working hard,â Huanhuan said correctly. She hadnât been considerate enough.
âLetâs go. Letâs grab something to eat first,â Gu Huanhuan said, pulling Shu Pan along.
True to its reputation, the restaurant in the upscale hotel served delicious food that almost made one bite their tongue.
Shu Pan had a good appetite and ate quite a bit, while Gu Huanhuan, always a foodie, didnât care much about watching her figure at the moment.
After dinner, it was already past 5 0âclock, and guests started arriving one after another. He Ming and Ye Xiaomeng, Shu Laide and Auntie Lu, Joy, Auntie Li, and others all arrived.
Shu Pan was pleasantly surprised. She hadnât expected everyone to come. She had thought it would just be a few close friends and relatives.
âDad, Auntie Lu,â Shu Pan quickly went over. She had mentioned to them when registering, but she hadnât expected Gu Shaoting to bring them here as well.
âPanpan, this is wonderful! You must be the most beautiful bride, and Shaoting is so thoughtful, having the wedding in such a beautiful place,â Auntie Lu said, shaking Shu Panâs hand.
Shu Laide nodded in agreement, looking very approving.
âMom, why didnât you bring me with you?â Joy showed a bit of a sulkiness because her mom hadnât informed her about coming.
Shu Pan looked apologetic. âIâm sorry. It wonât happen again.â
She Imew she had made a mistake. She had forgotten to bring Joy along.
After settling them, Shu Pan went to find Ye Xiaomeng.
âGirl, are you trying to make us women jealous? Mr. Gu spoils you too much.
Proposals, buying ad spaces for declarations of love, and now a wedding in Bali. Are you trying to make us all green with envy?â Ye Xiaomeng couldnât help but feel a twinge of envy and resentment.
âXiaomeng, youâre here too? You need to be careful now, especially in the early stages. Donât overexert yourself,â Shu Pan said when she saw Ye Xiaomeng, feeling both happy and concerned. She pulled Xiaomeng aside and earnestly advised her.
It was really not suitable to fly when one was just pregnant. It could be risky if one strained oneself too much.
âDonât worry, Iâve consulted the doctor, and the flight is short. I donât feel tired at all. I know my body, so please donât worry,â Ye Xiaomeng reassured her. She was more nervous about the baby than anyone else. She had consulted the doctor, and they said it was fine.
She didnât want to miss such an important moment with her bestie.
âThatâs good then,â Shu Pan said, helping her to sit down.
He Ming saw the two of them whispering to each other and didnât want to interrupt. He glanced around and decided to go find Gu Shaoting, see if there was anything he needed help with.
âHe Ming doesnât know yet, does he?â Shu Pan guessed. If he did, things probably wouldnât be like this.
âI havenât told him. If I did, I probably wouldnât be allowed to leave the house,â Ye Xiaomeng understood He Ming. He would definitely want her to stay home every day, fearing something might happen.
âAnyway, be careful. There are a lot of guests here. Donât push yourself to join in on everything,â Shu Pan said, genuinely worried about any potential mishaps.
âI know, Mother Shu, go take care of yourself. Tomorrow, youâll be the most beautiful bride,â Ye Xiaomeng teased her.
âAlright, Iâll go attend to the other guests. If you need anything, just call me or He Ming,â Shu Pan said before gracefully leaving..
