The next day, Shu Pan left before Gu Shaoting woke up. She left a note on the bedside table, saying she had already gone to work and didn’t need him to drive her.

He couldn’t help but wonder if she was a bit upset. Normally, she would prepare a cup of warm water for him after waking up. Did she forget today, or did she intentionally not prepare it?

When Gu Shaoting woke up, he found breakfast prepared by Auntie Li on the table. He hurriedly ate a bit and then left.

He decided to pick her up after work and have dinner together. He felt like he had been neglecting her lately.

Both of them were busy all day, and they didn’t exchange a single message.

In the afternoon, even though there were still some unfinished tasks, Gu Shaoting shut down his computer and left the office.

When Gu Shaoting picked up Shu Pan and they entered the restaurant, he noticed something was off. She had been unusually quiet the whole day, not saying a word during the ride or in the restaurant. She seemed lost in thought, as if she didn’t even notice him.

“What’s wrong? Is something bothering you?” Gu Shaoting asked, concerned, as he observed her expression.

“It’s nothing,” Shu Pan shook her head, unsure where to start.

She felt like she was being overly dramatic.

“If there’s something you need to tell me, don’t keep it to yourself,” Gu Shaoting said, his gaze penetrating.

“Okay,” Shu Pan smiled weakly.

Gu Shaoting knew she had something on her mind, but if she didn’t want to share, he couldn’t force her.

“Panpan, we’ve just moved into a new house. I was thinking of inviting friends and family over this weekend to celebrate. What do you think?” Gu Shaoting asked for Shu Pan’s opinion.

“Invite friends and family?” Shu Pan asked, puzzled.

“Yeah, have a little gathering. The villa has a large yard, so we can set up a buffet-style spread,” Gu Shaoting explained.

“Okay,” Shu Pan agreed, thinking it would be nice to introduce everyone to their new home.

The weekend arrived quickly.

On this day, both Gu Shaoting and Shu Pan dressed very formally.

Gu Shaoting was dressed in a suit and looked even more handsome and dignified.

Shu Pan wore a knitted dress, paired with high heels and a pink coat. Her hair was tied up high, giving her a vibrant and charming appearance.

Gu Shaoting stood at the door with Shu Pan to greet the guests, formally introducing her to everyone.

Every time a guest arrived, Gu Shaoting would hold Shu Pan’s hand and introduce her earnestly, saying, “This is my wife…”

He repeated these words for most of the morning, showing no signs of impatience. What was even rarer was the faint smile in his eyes.

Watching him like this, it was impossible not to be moved. It was rare to see him so humble. He probably said more polite words to people today than he did in the past year.

This version of Gu Shaoting, the more she looked, the more she liked. He was more down-to-earth now, no longer the aloof man he used to be.

She suddenly felt relieved. Why bother about those trivial things?

Looking at his profile, with his distinct features and clear lines, Shu Pan couldn’t help but feel more drawn to him.

Unconsciously, Shu Pan moved closer to him, and Gu Shaoting finally noticed her unusual behavior. He half-supported her and asked with concern, “What’s wrong? Are you tired from standing for too long?”

Seeing Gu Shaoting’s nervous look, Shu Pan felt a sweet sensation in her heart. She shook her head and said, “It’s nothing.”

She placed her hand in his palm. “I’m very happy today.”fre𝚎w𝐞bn𝗼v𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝗼𝚖
