Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After dinner, it was everyone’s free time, and the intention was for everyone to relax. So, there was no need to be too serious.
Shu Pan had made plans to go to the hot springs with Tang Wei for relaxation. However, when she was about to find Tang Wei, Secretary Zhang approached.
“Madam, Mr. Gu is looking for you,” Secretary Zhang said respectfully.
It had been a long time since anyone addressed her like that. Shu Pan was taken aback.
“Secretary Zhang, please call me Shu Pan. I am no longer Madam Gu,” Shu Pan corrected him.

He had confidence in his boss; anything he aimed to achieve would succeed.
“Mr. Gu is looking for you,” Secretary Zhang repeated. “Is there something important?” Shu Pan frowned. With so many people around, was he going to create some ambiguity for everyone?
“He didn’t say anything specific. I can only trouble you to make this trip,” Secretary Zhang conveyed the order, and Shu Pan didn’t want to make it difficult for her.
So, Shu Pan followed Secretary Zhang.
Gu Shaoting lived in his exclusive villa. Shu Pan followed Secretary Zhang for a while before seeing a two-story French-style villa.
Opening the villa’s door, a large lawn could be seen. Further inside, there were pavilions, rockeries, flowers…
Once again, Shu Pan’s gaze was captivated by the scenery before her. She truly didn’t understand the world of wealthy people.
Inside the villa, the decoration was very stylish, and clearly tailored to Gu Shaoting’s preferences.
“Here you are, have a seat,” Gu Shaoting said calmly when he saw Shu Pan.
“What’s the urgency?” Shu Pan asked.
“Nothing, this villa has many rooms. You can sleep here; no need to share a
room with colleagues,” Gu Shaoting said. He sat on the sofa, crossing his long legs casually.
“No need, I came here to have fun. If there’s nothing important, I’ll go join my colleagues at the hot springs,” Shu Pan said casually. She was here for the lively atmosphere.
“Hot springs? If you like, you can soak right here. There’s a large pool behind the house; you can soak freely,” Gu Shaoting suggested. The idea of everyone soaking together made him a bit uncomfortable.
“No need, I’m leaving,” Shu Pan replied dismissively.

He felt a bit unhappy but couldn’t do anything to her.
Soon, he heard movement by the front door, thinking it was Shu Pan coming back. He eagerly looked over, but it wasn’t Shu Pan; it was a seductively dressed woman, wearing a nearly transparent white strap dress under the lights.
Gu Shaoting’s forehead furrowed. He could almost kill a mosquito with his furrow.
“Did you come to the wrong place?” Gu Shaoting’s voice was as cold as if he were in an icehouse.
The woman who entered was MO Lan. Hearing Gu Shaoting’s words, she felt a bit nervous but, for the future, she bravely said in a sweet voice, “CEO, I’m an employee of Sunrise. My name is MO Lan.”
“What do you want?” Gu Shaoting found it increasingly strange. Coming to his room dressed like this in the middle of the night- -it was evident what she was thinking.
“There’s nothing special. I originally wanted to find Shu Pan. When I saw her heading this way, I thought something might be going on, so I followed her,” MO Lan explained cunningly, mentioning Shu Pan to see if Gu Shaoting had any interest in her.
Gu Shaoting was momentarily stunned, “Who is Shu Pan?”
