Shu Pan looked at Gu Shaoting’s profile. His facial features were well-defined, with a regal nose and he was tall and muscular. His appearance seemed flawless from every angle.

Sun ravs Deerinz through the windows fell on his hair, giving it a golden hue.

Gu Shaoting seemed to have heard her footsteps, so he turned his head. “Shu

Pan…”

“CEO Gu, why did you ask to see me?” Shu Pan stood a few steps away from him to put some distance between them.

“There are no outsiders here. Don’t call me CEO Gu.” Gu Shaoting walked up to her.

Shu Pan retreated subconsciously. “We are at work now. Please let’s just focus on that.”

When Gu Shaoting heard that, he frowned slightly and narrowed his black eyes, signs that he was getting angry. But because of his good upbringing and manners, he didn’t let his anger show.

After a long pause, he said, “Shu Pan, I hope that you’ll keep your distance from other men. I know that it’s a huge ask since we are not in a relationship anymore, but I still feel uncomfortable when I see you behaving intimately with other men.”

Gu Shaoting took a deep breath before he said this. Shu Pan didn’t expect those words at all and blushed instantly.

“CEO Gu, I’m sorry. I’ll be more careful in the future.” Shu Pan pursed her lips.

Gu Shaoting’s eyes were smoldering as his anger rose from being called “CEO Gut‘ again.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll get back to work.” All Shu Pan wanted to do now was to leave. She knew that Gu Shaoting didn’t want to talk to her about the project. He was being a nuisance asking her here to tell her to behave.

“Um… Let’s leave together after work later. I won’t be going back to Gu Corporation today. I want to pick Joy up with you. I haven’t seen the little girl for a few days.” Gu Shaoting quickly revealed his purpose.

He had reaped what he sowed and was stuck now. He was struggling whether to tell Shu Pan that he had recovered his memories.

If he didn’t tell her, the road to reuniting with Joy would be even longer.

“I can pick her up myself. Don’t you have a lot work? Don’t let this get in the way.” Shu Pan felt that he was paying too much attention to Joy. Could this be the so-called natural paternal bond?

“I’m not busy today. Why don’t I pick Joy up first before I pick you up here?” Gu Shaoting suggested as he figured that Shu Pan wouldn’t leave work early. It would be very late by the time she picked Joy up.

Shu Pan gave it some thought and decided to give in. Gu Shaoting wasn’t someone who would change his mind easily. If she didn’t agree, he would pester her, and she didn’t want to suffer that.

“Let’s talk later. I’m busy.” Shu Pan left after saying that.

Gu Shaoting looked at the time. It was still early, but he was thinking about Joy. The more he thought about her, the less interest he had about work. He simply sat at his desk and stared blankly at his computer screen.

Gu Shaoting didn’t even notice when Secretary Zhang Imocked on the door and came in with a stack of documents.

Secretary Zhang walked up to his desk and was about to pass him the documents when he saw Gu Shaoting’s blank stare and worrisome face.

“Are all women so stubborn?” Gu Shaoting’s sudden speech startled Secretary Zhang.

Secretary Zhang was stunned for a moment before he realized what was going on. He knew about CEO Gu and the former Mrs. Gu. He knew that Shu Pan had been keeping a low profile to avoid gossip. That was also why he addressed her as Ms. Shu, as if they hadn’t met before.

Secretary Zhang comforted, “I think she needs time to heal from being hurt before. Give her time. I believe that she will slowly accept you..”
