He Ming thought so too. Gu Shaoting hated inconveniences, so he always kept a low profile. He didn’t like to have his private life made into news to entertain the public.
“Please call the news agencies you know later and tell them not to report nonsense.” Gu Shaoting said. He was afraid that Shu Pan would think worse of him after she saw the news. He didn’t want to jeopardize their already fragile relationship.
“I’ll try my best, but there are too many media outlets today. I won’t be able to call all of them. I can ask the two most influential newspapers not to report nonsense.” He Ming said, managing his expectations.
“Alright, sorry to trouble you.” Gu Shaoting nodded.
He Ming helplessly took out his phone and started making calls.
Meanwhile, Tong Fei had just walked into the airport and reporters had surrounded her.
“Ms. Tong, may I ask if you are attending this award ceremony in France as a stepping stone to expand your career overseas?”
“Ms. Tong, your fiancé, Mr. Gu, has just cleared outbound immigration. Did you and Mr. Gu arrange to meet overseas for your honeymoon?”
The reporters kept firing questions at her.
“Sorry, I’m going there for work. I can’t comment on anything else.” Tong Fei adjusted her sunglasses with her hand. So, Shaoting was also at the airport now. Maybe they were on the same flight to France!
There were still reporters who refused to give up. One of them asked, “Are you guys going to hold your wedding soon?”
Tong Fei stopped walking and said, “I’ll inform everyone when there’s good news.”
Shu Pan went back to her own home. Everything in the house seemed to be covered in a layer of dust since no one had lived here for a while.
Shu Pan quickly rolled up her sleeves and got busy. She would be busier at work soon and would have even less time for housework then.
Moreover, she should bring Joy home soon. School was about to start.
She felt a tingling sensation in her heart whenever she thought about Joy. She had to work harder. Now that her life was slowly improving, she was even more hopeful that she could live a good life without a man.
She wondered how Gu Shaoting, who was on his way to France, would feel if he knew that she had such thoughts.
He would probably be even more anxious.
In the evening, Shu Pan was about to make herself a bowl of noodles when Ye
Xiaomeng called.
“Girl, where are you now?” Ye Xiaomeng asked.
“I’m at my home. My own home.” Shu Pan replied with a smile.
“Oh? You don’t need to wait on Young Master Gu anymore? Can a servant like you finally retire?” Ye Xiaomeng mocked. She just couldn’t stand the way Gu Shaoting bullied Shu Pan. Not in the past and not now. It was only because Shu Pan was kind that he stepped all over her.
“Xiaomeng… Stop poking fun at me. He’s gone to France on business, but I also don’t plan to take care of him any longer. I’ve done my best. Besides, Joy is about to start school.” Shu Pan shook her head helplessly.
Gone to France on business? What a coincidence! He Ming seemed to be on a business trip to France too.
But Ye Xiaomeng didn’t think too much about it.
“That’s great. We must celebrate your escape from the clutches of the devil tonight.” Ye Xiaomeng said opportunistically. She could always come up with all kinds of reasons to go out for food and drinks. She was indeed worthy of her title as a foodie.
“What would you like to eat? I’ll buy the ingredients and cook for you.” Shu Pan felt that food outside was expensive and unsanitary.
“Girl, you’ve gotten used to slavery. Poor kid, put your things away and dress up nicely. I’ll take you out for a good meal tonight.” Ye Xiaomeng instructed her.
“Alright. As you wish, my beautiful Miss Ye.” Shu Pan had no choice but to
agree..
