Shu Pan felt like there were a few black lines appearing on her forehead.
“Shut up.” Gu Shaoting was a bit annoyed and embarrassed, suddenly speaking in front of Shu Pan. He seemed a bit awkward.
He Ming chuckled and then asked, “Have you decided where you want to stay? I told you before that you have several properties.”
“I thought about it and decided to go back to Shuimu Qinghua. I feel like the name is very…” Gu Shaoting thought seriously, as if he had decided after careful consideration.
He Ming was stunned, and Shu Pan was equally surprised. She never expected Gu Shaoting to want to return to Shuimu Qinghua. There were many unpleasant memories from there, but, of course, there were also happy moments.
“What’s wrong? Is there anything inappropriate?” Gu Shaoting asked when both of them remained silent.
“Nothing, it’s a quiet environment there, suitable for recuperation.” He Ming explained, having seen him stay there often, there must be some nostalgic memories.
Shu Pan felt like she had just been hit by a barrage of emotions.
On that day, Shu Pan took some time to send Joy back. Joy was excited to see her grandparents soon, as happy as a little bird.
“Mom, when can I see Uncle Gu?” It seemed like they shared the same blood, and Joy asked.
“When you come back from Grandpa’s house, you can see Uncle Gu.” Shu Pan comforted her.
“Great!” Joy was extremely happy.
Shu Pan looked at her and couldn’t help but envy children, innocent and carefree, always happy.
When Shu Pan returned to Bin City, it was already evening.
Shu Pan used to think she would never set foot in the Shuimu Qinghua house again. Who knew fate had other plans?
Stepping inside, Shu Pan felt inexplicably nervous.
Looking at everything in the house, it was the same as when she left, no major changes. It was familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar.
“Panpan, what should we have for dinner tonight?” Gu Shaoting hadn’t seen Shu Pan all afternoon and missed her.
Seeing him look so serious, Shu Pan replied, “What do you want to eat?”
“Anything, just don’t tire yourself too much.” Gu Shaoting looked considerate. Shu Pan was taken aback by his words, finding it hard to believe he had said such things.
Taking advantage of the situation, Shu Pan asked a question, hoping he wouldn’t make things difficult for her.
“Can we discuss something? I’ll start working officially tomorrow. I’ve been delayed with a lot of work recently. Is that okay?” Shu Pan asked.
Gu Shaoting frowned, “What kind of work? Otherwise, you can work in my company. I’ll arrange an easier job for you.” Gu Shaoting suggested, not wanting to see her busy all the time.
“It’s okay, my current job is fine. I don’t want to change for now.” Shu Pan refused. She just wanted to be away from him for a while. For now, she hoped he would recover, and she didn’t want anything else.
Shu Pan still lived in the second bedroom. Everything in the room was the same as when she left. Evidently, someone had come to clean up.
Touching the bedding, Shu Pan sighed. The scent of laundry detergent for the sheets lingered in her nose—fresh and fragrant.
After putting away her things, Shu Pan returned to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Considering he was still a patient, she decided to make what he liked.
Gu Shaoting watched Shu Pan busy herself for him, and the house finally had some vitality. He felt an indescribable sense of tranquility in his heart..
