Let’s Divorce As Agreed-Chapter 1136 - 1135: Anxious

Chapter 1136 -1135: Anxious

Shu Pan arrived at the company and, after meeting with them, headed straight for the airport.

Lu Lei and Shu Pan sat in the back of the car, with secretary Yang in the passenger seat.

Throughout the journey, no one spoke, and there was an awkward silence in the car.

Finally, it was Lu Lei who broke the silence, “Shu Pan, how many days will you be on your business trip? Will your family be able to manage without you?”

Shu Pan had been looking out of the window, but hearing Lu Lei’s question, she turned her head and replied with a faint smile, “Director Lu, I have everything arranged at home, it’s fine.”

“That’s good. I only found out today that you were the one going on the trip with me. Considering you have a family, it’s irresponsible of them to assign you to a business trip for such a long time,” Lu Lei said, recalling his surprise when he saw Shu Pan earlier that day, thinking he had seen wrong.

“It’s okay, actually, they did consult with me about it, and I was able to arrange everything. Besides, it’s part of the job,” Shu Pan explained.

“That’s relief, the next few days will be hard on you,” Lu Lei said with a smile.

“You’re making too much of it, Director Lu,” Shu Pan said, somewhat embarrassed.

They were on a noon flight to Pengcheng, which would take two hours to arrive.

Phones had to be switched off during the flight.

As Gu Shaoting was unaware of her flight time, his several calls went through to her switched-off phone.

He paced back and forth in his office, visibly restless and uneasy.

He felt that something was off.

Just then, Xia Xiaoqiao walked in, holding a cup of coffee, “Mr. Gu, here is the coffee I made for you.”

Gu Shaoting frowned slightly, “Secretary Xia, I hope that next time you’ll knock on the door before entering,” he said.

Xia Xiaoqiao was taken aback, feeling somewhat embarrassed. What was wrong with Mr. Gu today? He seemed as if he had exploded in anger.

In fact, he had been like this recently, sometimes even losing his temper, his whole demeanor somewhat irritable.

“Sorry, Mr. Gu, I’ll be more mindful next time,” Xia Xiaoqiao said apologetically; she had always been like that and didn’t understand why Mr. Gu was taking issue with her today over this matter.

“Additionally, I don’t want coffee today. Take it away and pour it out,” Gu Shaoting added coldly.

Xia Xiaoqiao finally realized that she had walked into the line of fire that day.

Mr. Gu was in a bad mood and had no outlet for his frustration, and she had just walked in at the wrong moment.

Alas, Xia Xiaoqiao felt her situation was quite pitiable.

It seemed to have started after she had seen Mrs. Gu that day; Mr. Gu appeared to have taken a dislike to her, which she felt was completely unwarranted as she had no idea what had transpired.

Upon reflection, she couldn’t recall having said anything inappropriate that day.

Mr. Gu probably wasn’t angry with her.

Seeing Gu Shaoting with a stern face, holding his phone and gazing out the window, she quickly responded and then left with the coffee.

Gu Shaoting couldn’t calm his mood or focus enough to handle the paperwork.

Could it be that Shu Pan was avoiding him? Was that why she had deliberately turned off her phone?

She had left early in the morning and should have reached the destination of her business trip by now.

Could she not send him a text to let him know she was safe?

That wouldn’t have taken much of her time, would it?

Moreover, this was her first long trip without him by her side, and he was genuinely worried.

The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. So, he called secretary Yang and instructed him to investigate Shu Pan’s workplace.

He had always thought that not knowing was giving her space, but now he realized that being in the dark like this only made him more anxious.

Although secretary Yang was surprised that his boss didn’t know where his wife worked, he didn’t dare to ask and quickly went to make arrangements.
