The following day, when Shu Pan woke up, Gu Shaoting was nowhere to be seen.

After she washed up and came out of the living room, Auntie Li told her that Gu Shaoting had already sent Joy to school and told Aunty Li not to disturb her to let her sleep.

Shu Pan nodded. It was good to satisfy that girl’s wish. Otherwise, she would cause trouble again when she returned.

While thinking about it, her stomach let out a growl. Shu Pan touched her belly and smiled.

She sat down by the table and started taking some plain congee.

In the car, Joy was “interrogating” Gu Shaoting.

“Daddy, you’ve been very busy lately. You don’t even have time to pick me up. Don’t you like me anymore?” Joy asked seriously.

Gu Shaoting was stunned. He didn’t expect Joy to ask this.

“Baby, what are you thinking? Of course, Daddy likes you,” Gu Shaoting quickly said.

He had indeed neglected Joy lately. “Daddy has been busy lately.” Gu Shaoting thought for a while and felt that this reason was more reasonable.

“No wonder Mommy said the same thing. I missed you last night and asked Mommy to call you. Why did you hang up?” Joy pouted, feeling aggrieved.

Gu Shaoting was stunned. Shupan indeed called him last night, but he didn’t know what he said then. As the environment was noisy, he hung up the phone. He didn’t expect Joy to be the one who had asked Shu Pan to call him.

It wasn’t Shu Pan who had initiated to call him, but Joy who wanted her to call. Gu Shaoting suddenly felt very disappointed.

After sending Joy to kindergarten, Gu Shaoting called Shu Pan.

Shu Pan had already arrived at the company. She did not answer the call because she had just walked away. When she returned to her place and saw the missed call, she hesitated before calling back. She was worried that something was wrong with Joy.

“What’s the matter?” Shu Pan asked. There was no emotion in her tone.

“You’ve arrived at the company?” He had wanted to go back and pick her up.

“Yeah, I have to start work now. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up.” Shu Pan was about to hang up.

“Oh, let’s have lunch together. How about it?” Gu Shaoting took a step back and said. He was already compromising.

“We’ll talk about it when the time comes.” Shu Pan was not interested.

“Alright.” Gu Shaoting hung up helplessly.

Back in the office, Gu Shaoting’s face darkened. He sat before his desk, looking like someone owed him a few million.

Gu Shaoting had been in a bad mood recently and it was getting worse by the day. Everyone could probably tell, especially Secretary Zhang.

“Mr. Gu, we’re going to sign the contract with the CEO of Gaoli today. Is this afternoon okay? I’ll make an appointment in advance.” After Secretary Zhang came in and saw Gu Shaoting’s expression, he screamed for help in his heart. However, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go forward.

Gu Shaoting didn’t respond and just sat there motionlessly.

Secretary Zhang had no choice but to repeat himself.

Gu Shaoting looked at him. “What? Sign a contract? Make it in the afternoon.”

“Alright, I’ll make the arrangements now.” Seeing the atmosphere in the office so low, Secretary Zhang wanted to leave quickly.

“Secretary Zhang, wait a moment.” Just as he was about to leave, Gu Shaoting stopped him.

“How to coax a woman?” It was rare for Gu Shaoting to be so humble.

Secretary Zhang was a little flattered. “Mr. Gu, is it still about Mrs. Gu?”

Obviously, this was the problem.

“Yeah, she’s still very cold. I’ve already lowered my stance very much.” Gu Shaoting was at his wit’s end.

“Mr. Gu, you just need to find out why she’s angry and prescribe the right medicine,” Secretary Zhang suggested.

“Why is she angry?” Gu Shaoting recalled the scene with Charlene that day.
