“No. Don’t go home. I’ll pick you up after I picked Joy up. My friend invited me to his restaurant opening today. I didn’t want to go, but since Joy will be with me, I’d like to bring her along to join in the fun.”
Gu Shaoting was in a bad mood the whole day that he almost forgot about his friend’s invitation.
Shu Pan was about to reject him, but after thinking about it, she figured that he would still do as he pleased.
“Alright then.” Shu Pan hung up and buried herself in work again.
Because Shu Pan’s director had made two very apt comments on her proposal in the afternoon, she had to make a lot of changes.
After a lot of adjustments, Shu Pan was finally happy with the changes. When she looked at the time, it was already 6:30 p.m.

She saved the file and turned off her computer.
But the moment she looked up, she saw a tall figure standing at the entrance to her office, holding a little beauty’s hand.
Gu Shaoting’s cold eyes were fixed on her.
Out of instinct, Shu Pan quickly looked around, worried that someone would see them.
Fortunately, it was late, and everyone had left the office.
“Why are you guys up here?” Shu Pan asked.
He had called her a few more times, but she didn’t pick up. He thought something had happened, so he brought Joy upstairs to look for her.
“Mommy, you’re so busy. Uncle Gu and I have been waiting for you for so long. Are you a turtle?” Joy’s childish words amused them.
“Mommy is not a turtle. I was busy with work.” Shu Pan explained.
The only thought Gu Shaoting had now was to fire her tomorrow.
They had waited for her for so long, but she had been so busy with work that she didn’t even realize that they were there. When she found out after she finished work, she looked like she had seen a ghost.
Seeing how she was looking around nervously, it was as if they were so shameful…
Bosses liked diligent employees, but Gu Shaoting didn’t want Shu Pan to work so hard.
He cleared his throat to express his displeasure.
“You must be hungry. Let’s go. It’ll be my treat tonight.” Shu Pan said generously to alleviate the guilt she felt.
Gu Shaoting didn’t say anything. He pulled Joy with one hand and Shu Pan with the other to the elevator.
Although there was no one there, they were still in the office. Moreover, there were surveillance cameras everywhere. It would be bad if someone saw them like this. Shu Pan wanted to break free from him, but she was pulled even tighter by him.

Shu Pan sat with Joy obediently in the back seat. She turned her head to look at Gu Shaoting and saw that his face was cold.
“Uncle, where are we going?” Joy asked when she noticed that they weren’t on their way home.
Joy knew the way home because they had been picking her mother up after work recently.
“Tov. what a smart girl von are! Uncle’s friend’s restaurant is opening today- We
are going there to support him.” Gu Shaoting said to Joy with a smile.
“Mommy, what is support?” Joy was an inquisitive child. “It’s to help him celebrate.” Shu Pan explained.
“Oh, oh.” Joy seemed to understand.
They arrived at the restaurant after driving for about 20 minutes. It was a big restaurant and because it was newly opened, they were giving discounts and many guests turned up. Reporters had also been invited to try the food and experience here so they could write reviews and promote the restaurant.
When the restaurant owner saw Gu Shaoting and Shu Pan, he quickly walked up to them. “Brother Ting, you’re finally here. I thought you were going to stand me up! This must be Mrs. Gu and Miss Gu, right?”
The restaurant owner was a shrewd person but on second thought, when did Gu Shaoting get married and have a daughter?
