Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
To hide his awkwardness, Gu Shaoting narrowed his eyes and looked away. He then quietly helped Shu Pan open the car door.
Afte Shu Pan got in the car, the fragrance of a woman pounced at him.
Gu Shaoting secretly mocked himself about whether he would have a nosebleed…
But his thoughts quickly shifted to how inappropriate it was to dress like that for work.

“I went to Su Corporation with Director Wang in the afternoon to discuss our preliminary proposal with them.” Shu Pan reported formally.
Gu Shaoting’s grip on the steering wheel tightened. All he got from her reply was that she dressed like that for a business meeting.
He made a mental note to add another rule to the company policy: no short skirts at work for female employees.
Shu Pan continued when she saw Gu Shaoting’s silence, “Drop me off at the supermarket ahead. I’ll go get ingredients for dinner. It’s still early. We can pick Joy up after that.”
Because the proposal had basically been finalized, she was less busy today and decided to leave work early.
“No need. We’ll eat out after we pick Joy up. You’re probably tired from a long day at work. Would you like to go home and change after we pick Joy up before we head out for dinner?”
Gu Shaoting realized today that he had difficulty keeping his cool. He would be distracted if he had to face the seductively dressed Shu Pan all night.
“Okay.” Shu Pan was indeed a little tired. She nodded and did as Gu Shaoting said.
He Ming had been very happy lately because his relationship with Xiaomeng had been developing steadily. He looked like he was floating on cloud nine.
He was now asking Xiaomeng to move in with him.
Xiaomeng hadn’t agreed yet, so he was still working on it. He had been living at home with his parents out of convenience. He needed some personal space now that he had Xiaomeng, and the apartment he had bought before could come in handy.
“Ming, what’s happening? You haven’t been home much lately. Are you very busy?” Mrs. He was a little unhappy. If he came home, she could at least nag him about getting a wife.
He Ming put his arm around his mother’s shoulders and said with a smile,
“Mom, I’m busy wooing your future daughter-in-law.”

“Don’t joke about this. I’m serious. Look at my friends’ children. They’re younger than you but they already have children. You’re the only one who’s still single.” Mrs. He sighed.
“Really. I’m working on it.” He Ming didn’t want Mrs. He to scare Xiaomeng, so he didn’t dare to tell his mother that he already had a girlfriend.
Because based on his understanding of Mrs. He, she would ask to meet his girlfriend right away once she knew.
“Ming, what do you think about Shanshan?” Mrs. He thought that He Ming was just brushing her off, so she brought up Hu Shanshan.
“Nothing much. She’s like a younger sister to me. Mom, please don’t randomly set me up with people.” He Ming reminded Mrs. He, worried that she would make things worse.
Mrs. He looked disappointed. “But Shanshan is a good match for you in terms of family background, looks, and talent. Are you sure you don’t want to give it a try?„
“Mom, I’m looking for spiritual compatibility. No matter how good she is, no feelings means no feelings.”
“You’re so full of nonsense. I met your father on a blind date. I’ve lived with him for most of my life and we’re still fine.” Mrs. He cited herself as an example again.
He Ming had heard this broken record a thousand times.
“Mom, the day after tomorrow is my birthday and I won’t be coming home for dinner.” He Ming quickly changed the subject to avoid further nagging from his mother..
