Let’s Divorce As Agreed-Chapter 1086 - 1085: The Narcissist

Chapter 1086 -1085: The Narcissist

Xia Xiaoqiao had a competitive streak that refused to be quenched; she had loved to vie for supremacy since she was young.

Tonight, after seeing Shu Pan, her confidence surged even more.

There’s a saying, isn’t there, “Those who are near to the water get the moon first”? Opportunities would come.

Of course, a birthday was more than just a meal, and Gu Shaoting also gave Shu Pan a ring.

The style of the ring was incredibly simple and elegant without any surrounding small diamonds; it was just a platinum band with a round diamond deeply embedded in the middle, shining like a star, deep and mysterious, noble and graceful, emitting a soft brilliance under the light.

Most special of all, Gu Shaoting had the ring engraved on the inside with his and Shu Pan’s surnames.

...

Having seen Shu Pan’s admirers today, Gu Shaoting felt that his decision to give the ring as a birthday present was extremely wise.

“Do you like it?” Gu Shaoting asked Shu Pan as he opened the jewelry box.

“I do, but isn’t it quite valuable?” Although Shu Pan wasn’t keen on buying jewelry, over the years she had come to recognize many precious gems.

Gu Shaoting reached out to cover the back of Shu Pan’s right hand, two hands, one rugged, one delicate, one honey-toned, one snow-white. The diamond ring on Shu Pan’s finger dazzled under the light, radiating a harmonious beauty that was indescribable.

With a “click,” Gu Shaoting took out his phone and snapped a photo of their hands.

Shu Pan was somewhat taken aback, not expecting him to make such a move, “Why take a photo?”

“Don’t you think it looks good?” Gu Shaoting examined the photo on his phone over and over, truly pleased with it.

Narcissist.

But Shu Pan was still moved; after all, his advance preparation of the gift meant he had been keeping this matter close to his heart.

“I’ll send it to you, and you can post it on your Moments,” Gu Shaoting suggested.

“I rarely post,” Shu Pan felt her private life needn’t be broadcast to everyone.

Gu Shaoting suddenly seemed downcast; he initially wanted her to post it on her Moments, so that everyone would know she was taken.

But Shu Pan refused.

“What’s wrong?” Shu Pan asked, noting his grim expression.

“Nothing,” Gu Shaoting didn’t know how to start talking about it.

The next day, Gu Shaoting returned to the CEO’s Office early because he had arranged to discuss a contract with Wang Dali. They hadn’t reached an agreement, and it was starting to irritate him. After all, business should be a pleasant cooperation, and it was awkward to have tensions at the outset.

He came back mainly to have the secretary prepare a contract, as this time he wanted to take the lead. If they could agree, they would cooperate; if not, they would part ways.

By a little after 8 a.m., he was already stepping into the office, to everyone’s surprise. They thought some major issue must have arisen for Mr. Gu to hurry back to address it.

Xia Xiaoqiao was also startled when she saw Gu Shaoting, thinking he would arrive later at the office after celebrating with Madam last night, yet he was here this early.

After Gu Shaoting had been there for a while, he called Xia Xiaoqiao in through the interoffice telephone.

Upon hearing Gu Shaoting’s deep and magnetic voice, a sudden wave of nervousness washed over Xiao Qiao.

She straightened her clothes.

Today she had dressed with special care, wearing a tender yellow hip-hugging skirt paired with a silk blouse. Owing to the thin, close-fitting fabric, it hinted at what lay beneath. White high heels complemented her outfit, clicking rhythmically with each step she took.

And her makeup was impeccable, utterly flawless.

Xia Xiaoqiao smiled faintly, bringing her best self as she pushed open the door to the CEO’s Office.

As she approached, Gu Shaoting looked up at her and paused, startled.
