Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Shaoting, Mom really didn’t know. I don’t like Shu Pan, but I never thought of teaching her such a lesson.” Song Can found it difficult to defend herself.
She suddenly felt that Tong Fei had set her up.
Tong Fei was too infuriating. She had always treated her well. How could she do this to her?
She was simply driving a wedge between her and her son.
“Mom, let me make myself clear today. I love Shu Pan. Whether you agree or not, I’ll be with her even if she hasn’t agreed to get back together with me. Please stop making things worse.” Gu Shaoting said firmly.
Song Can sat on the sofa like a rooster that had just lost cockfight. She never imagined that was how her son saw her.

Song Can just sat there, clueless about what to do next.
Gu Shaoting left after saying his piece.
At home, Shu Pan was playing house with Joy. The two of them were having such a good time that they didn’t even notice Gu Shaoting’s return. Gu Shaoting deliberately cleared his throat before Shu Pan turned her head.
“You’re home.”
“Yes, what have you been busy with today?” Gu Shaoting asked casually.
“Nothing much. I’m going back to work tomorrow, so I just tidied up a little at home.” Shu Pan said as she helped Joy keep her toys.
Gu Shaoting frowned but didn’t say anything, because he knew that even if he said it, Shu Pan would still insist on her opinion.
The next day, Shu Pan woke up very early. The morning sun streamed through the windows into the house, making time seem especially quiet. She was in a daze for a long time before she snapped out of it.
Gu Shaoting woke up early too so he could drop them off – Joy first, and then Shu Pan.
On the way, Gu Shaoting reminded Shu Pan again to be careful and to wait for him to pick her up after work.
Shu Pan nodded helplessly. Things were still unclear, so it was better to be careful.
She hadn’t been in office for a few days and felt a little unfamiliar.
“Shu Pan, you’re finally back. Are you alright now?” Tang Wei shouted excitedly as she walked into the office and saw Shu Pan.
“I’m fine. Thank you for your concern.” Shu Pan smiled. She felt much more relaxed after she saw everyone’s friendly faces.
“You’re so lucky. You get to rest for so many days just because you weren’t feeling well.” MO Lan said jealously when she saw Shu Pan.
“Ignore her. Some people just can’t stand seeing others do well.” Tang Wei pulled Shu Pan to her desk.
When their director saw Shu Pan, he quickly walked over and asked, “Shu Pan, are you alright? Why don’t you rest for a few more days at home?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShu Pan felt so flattered. Why was her director so nice to her?
Was he nice to her because he thought that she and Gu Shaoting were in some kind of relationship?
Shu Pan felt slightly embarrassed. It was better not to explain. Explanation would just lead to more confusion.
“Thank you for your concern, Director. I feel fine.” Shu Pan replied.
“Okay then. Come find me if you have any questions.” The director left after he said that.
Shu Pan was soon deep at work.
Meanwhile, as soon as Gu Shaoting sat down in his office, He Ming pushed the door open and entered.
“How did it go yesterday?” He Ming offered to handle the matter but Gu Shaoting said he would do it himself.
“Good. It went very smoothly.” Gu Shaoting nodded. He leaned back in his chair, looking relaxed.
“Did you post the photos online?” He Ming didn’t know what Gu Shaoting was up to.
Gu Shaoting’s lips curled into a cold smile. His voice was as cold as the mid -winter ice as he said, “Not yet.. Don’t you think it’s more interesting to keep her hanging and make her worry every day?”
