The car moved slowly towards its destination, and Gu Shaoting stared absentmindedly at the scenery outside Lotus Town. He couldnât help but ponder Assistant Zhangâs words. Could it be her? She always seemed to appear in his life when he was on the brink of forgetting her.
Gu Shaoting rubbed his forehead and closed his eyes again, choosing not to dwell on this matter.
When Shu Pan returned to the flower shop, Lan Lan was trimming flower branches. She looked at the drizzling rain outside and scolded, âI said I will do the delivering. Look at the rain. If you catch a cold from getting wet, what will you do?â
âItâs fine, Lan Lan. Iâm not that delicate. Iâll be careful. A little drizzle like this wonât affect me.â Shu Pan smiled. Normally, Lan Lan did most of the heavy lifting while she appeared more like the boss. She felt a bit embarrassed.
âYou, you lack the awareness of a pregnant woman.â Lan Lan shook her head, her concern evident in her tone.
âSince itâs raining today and Iâm probably not that busy, you can go home early. Make sure to change into dry clothes when you get there.â Lan Lan gave her an order.
âAlright, got it.â Shu Pan could only comply reluctantly.
When she arrived home, her father and Auntie Lu were both out. She changed her clothes and decided to cook.
Suddenly, her bag emitted an urgent ringing. Shu Pan was a bit puzzled. Who would be calling her at this hour?
âHello.â Before Shu Pan could finish speaking, she heard Su Yuanâs anxious voice on the other end.
âPan, where have you been? I went to your company to look for you, and they said you resigned a while ago. Whatâs going on? What happened?â Su Yuan rushed to speak, leaving Shu Pan at a loss for words.
âSu Yuan, Iâm sorry. I didnât mean to worry you. Iâm fine. I left Bin City,â Shu Pan explained.
âWhy did you leave Bin City? Your home⦠Did you get a divorce?â Su Yuan asked uncertainly.
âYes. I got a divorce⦠But Iâm pregnant. I left Bin City to start a new life,â Shu Pan said. She thought that this way of putting it should finally put an end to Su Yuanâs hopes!
âWhy did you do something so foolish? Why didnât you tell me when something like this happened?â Su Yuan scolded her.
âI really am fine. I can handle things on my own. You have your own family now. Treasure it, Su Yuan.â Shu Pan advised. She hadnât intended to ruin anyoneâs family, and she and Su Yuan were impossible, even if he were single.
Sometimes, missing the right timing could affect things for a lifetime.
She couldnât help but sigh. Many things developed beyond our control, especially when it came to relationships.
âPan, you know, I donât love her. The person Iâve always loved is you. Iâll get a divorce. Just wait for meâ¦â Su Yuan refused to listen, lost in his own delusions.
âSu Yuan, you donât need to carry this burden. Liking me is one thing, but you donât like me anymore. Iâve changed a lot during our time apart. Perhaps you owe me, and you think that you hurt me in the past. Su Yuan, listen to me. Treat your wife well.â Shu Pan spoke earnestly and resolutely, trying to make him understand.
âPan, you donât have to worry. My feelings for you are one thing. Even if you donât love me anymore, Iâll work hard to make you fall for me again. But you shouldnât try to push me away. Even if I divorce, itâs not your concern. Itâs that I donât love her and donât want to be with her.â Su Yuan seemed unwavering in his beliefs. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âPan, I wonât bother you for now. Iâll take care of things first before coming to see you.â Then he hung up..
