They had dinner outside before returning home. Joy urged Shu Pan to quickly call Uncle Wen to check if he was available tomorrow night.
Shu Pan dialed Wen Chi’s number, telling him that Joy missed him and inquiring about his availability for the next evening. Wen Chi readily agreed.
Wen Chi initially suggested he would make the restaurant reservation, but Shu Pan promptly intervened. She knew Gu Shaoting’s character well — when he said he would handle it, it meant he would, and she didn’t want any potential complications later on.
It was usually a minor matter where they met; she just followed his lead. It was rare for him to agree willingly.
Shu Pan informed him that she had already booked a restaurant and would text him the details later. Wen Chi acknowledged with understanding.
Watching them chat comfortably, Gu Shaoting felt uncomfortable. He couldn’t fathom why he willingly arranged for his loved ones to meet his romantic rival. Seeing Wen Chi’s agreement, Joy clapped her hands joyfully and cooperatively went to freshen up.
The next day, Gu Shaoting took Joy to school. The little girl, aware she would meet Uncle Wen that evening, specifically chose to wear her most beautiful dress—a fluffy princess gown.
Teasing her, Gu Shaoting asked why she dressed so nicely. The little girl confidently replied that since she hadn’t seen Uncle Wen for a long time, and Uncle Wen was so handsome, she had to look good.
Gu Shaoting felt a sensation of blood rushing to his head.
Unable to resist, he asked Joy, “Joy, do you think Daddy or Uncle Wen is more handsome?”
Joy hesitated, looked at him, and then decisively said, “Uncle Wen smiles more, and he looks best when he smiles.”
Gu Shaoting, looking quite defeated, forced a wry smile, “So, Daddy isn’t handsome?”
Quick to comfort, Joy said, “No, if Daddy doesn’t frown so often, Daddy is even more good-looking.”
Gu Shaoting felt a bit better.
“Mr. Gu, are you sure it’s a good idea to ask your daughter this? Children don’t lie.” Shu Pan, hearing the conversation between the father and daughter, felt speechless. She never expected the usually formidable Gu Shaoting to ask such a silly question; it seemed like his IQwas offline.
“You heartless woman, do you also think Wen Chi is more handsome?” Gu Shaoting suddenly thought of this question. Was this woman beside him also of the same opinion?
Nervously, he asked, but Shu Pan, seeing his serious inquiry, found it both amusing and exasperating. “I’m not telling you,” she teased, not expecting the usually confident CEO to be so uncertain.
Gu Shaoting felt his behavior was somewhat ridiculous. Taking advantage of
Joy’s distraction, he reached over and pinched Shu Pan’s waist.
Shu Pan’s face turned red all of a sudden. This person really had no shame; he didn’t consider the occasion at all. Gu Shaoting first dropped Joy off at the kindergarten and then escorted Shu Pan.
When Joy left, and he was about to start the car, he noticed Shu Pan was also dressed attractively. She wore a floral chiffon long dress that, due to its elegant pattern, showcased her well-proportioned figure vividly.
Gu Shaoting felt a bit uncomfortable; he rarely saw her dress like this. Was it because she was meeting Wen Chi tonight that she took special care to look so good?
But he couldn’t ask. He could only sulk in silence.
He was determined to change the image he held in their eyes.
As they arrived at Shu Pan’s company entrance, the car stopped. Shu Pan, carrying her bag, got out of the car. Gu Shaoting, with a meaningful gaze, warned her, “I’ll send you the restaurant address later. Accompany Joy properly when you meet him..”
