Chapter 523: Painful for the Spending
Shu Pan blushed involuntarily upon seeing his response.
At 7 p.m., the two checked into the hotel.
The hotel porter escorted them upstairs, and upon seeing the super luxurious suite they had booked, Shu Pan was slightly taken aback. “This… this is too… too extravagant. How much is it per night?”
Ye Xiaomeng smiled but didn’t say anything until the porter left. “Gu Shaoting gave me a lot of money, so I booked something nicer.”
Shu Pan was curious. “How much did he give you? And how much is this suite per night? I’m worried it’s too expensive, and I won’t be able to sleep.”
“Not much. I told him Singapore is relatively expensive, so it must be around ten or twenty thousand a day. Oh, and I also booked a seaside villa for us tomorrow. We can have a blast,” Ye Xiaomeng said cheerfully, turning to open her suitcase.
Shu Pan was stunned. Ye Xiaomeng, the spendthrift, ten or twenty thousand a day? Goodness, how many months’ salary was that for her?
“Did he say anything to you?” Shu Pan asked, puzzled.
“Nope,” Ye Xiaomeng thought for a moment before continuing, “Oh, but he did tell me to take good care of you since you haven’t traveled far before. If we run out of money, we’ll let him know. He wants us to have a good time.”
Once again, Shu Pan was taken aback. So he had done so much behind the scenes.
“In fact, I’m also testing him for you. It’s not about how much money a man has, but whether he’s generous enough to his wife. Obviously, Gu Shaoting is generous and outstanding. He even paid for my portion. Someone’s covering our expenses, so let’s plan more trips in the future,” Ye Xiaomeng explained confidently.
Shu Pan felt a pang of guilt. “But isn’t this burning money?”
“Can you stop worrying? Your hubby’s got so much money you can’t even spend it all. Why are you fussing over this?” Ye Xiaomeng looked at her somewhat disdainfully.
“Hmph,” Shu Pan pouted.
After resting for a while, the two went to the hotel restaurant for dinner.
When they returned to the room, Shu Pan’s phone rang. She grabbed it and hurried to the balcony.
“Have you reached the hotel?” Gu Shaoting’s deep and sensitive voice came through the phone.
“Yeah, just got back from dinner. Have you eaten?” Shu Pan asked in return.
“I don’t have much of an appetite when you’re not home,” Gu Shaoting complained.
“Don’t talk nonsense,” Shu Pan scolded him shyly upon hearing his words.
“Really, have fun and stay safe. Come back soon,” Gu Shaoting said pitifully.
“Okay.”
“I’ll go visit Dad and Joy the day after tomorrow. Don’t worry,” Gu Shaoting felt truly lonely without his wife and daughter by his side.
“Okay, take care of yourself, eat more, don’t stay up late. Love you.” Without waiting for Gu Shaoting’s response, Shu Pan hurriedly hung up the phone. She had become bolder now.
Gu Shaoting looked at the disconnected phone and knew she was feeling shy. For someone as reserved as her to say “love you” over the phone took a lot of courage.
“Finished exchanging sweet nothings with your beloved?” Ye Xiaomeng teased.
“You just finished talking to He Ming, didn’t you?” Shu Pan retorted with a smile.
“You said your greetings and hung up, unlike you guys still in the midst of confessing love,” Ye Xiaomeng remarked, indicating she had heard Shu Pan’s last sentence. Shu Pan really wished she could find a hole to hide in.
“Ugh, annoying,” Shu Pan teased back with a glare at Ye Xiaomeng, then opened her suitcase, intending to take out clothes for change.
But as she opened the suitcase, she was shocked. Was this her suitcase? Why were the clothes arranged differently from how she had packed them originally?
