Shu Pan was frustrated. She ignored the two of them and picked her own dishes.
Light music played in the supermarket; it was very relaxing.
Gu Shaoting was pushing the shopping cart with Joy inside it and Shu Pan was bending over to pick groceries.
They looked like a happy family to anyone. Gu Shaoting left his suit jacket in the car and wore his shirt with the sleeves rolled up. He looked very handsome.
Shu Pan looked gentle and lovely in a ruffle top with a pair of cropped jeans. She looked fresh and elegant.
Gu Shaoting looked over and saw Shu Pan picking broccoli.
He frowned as he didn’t like broccoli.
But then, Shu Pan put a head of broccoli into the cart.
“Mommy, I don’t like this vegetable. It stinks.” When Joy saw the broccoli, she pouted and made a disgusted expression.
Gu Shaoting couldn’t help but secretly feel happy. Joy was indeed his daughter to hate broccoli like he did.
“Joy, don’t be picky. If you are picky about your food, you won’t grow tall.” Shu Pan coaxed. “This vegetable is very nutritious. Look, Uncle Gu likes it too.” “Uncle Gu, do you like this vegetable?” Joy asked in her childish voice.
Under Shu Pan’s gaze, Gu Shaoting forced himself to say, “Uncle isn’t picky. You see, Uncle is so tall all because he likes to eat vegetables like this.”
Was it really okay for CEO Gu to lie to a child like that to woo his wife back?
If Secretary Zhang was present, he would probably complain too.
If their CEO Gu wasn’t picky about food, probably no one in the world was.
“Alright then, Mommy, get one more. I’ll eat with Uncle Gu. I want to be as tall as Uncle Gu.” Joy said bravely.
Gu Shaoting smiled bitterly in his heart. He really shot himself in the foot for having a daughter who sabotaged her own father.
“Okay, then Mommy will make you both stir-fried broccoli with shrimps.” Shu Pan actually knew that Gu Shaoting hated broccoli.
In their few years of marriage, she knew his food preferences like the back of her hand, but she didn’t want to let him have his way. Moreover, she realized that Joy didn’t like broccoli too, which was not a good habit.
Gu Shaoting’s heart was filled with sweetness when he heard that. Shu Pan was going to make the dish for him and his daughter. He would probably eat it even if it was poisonous.
Gu Shaoting acted as if the things in the supermarket cost nothing. He bought a cartful of groceries. Shu Pan didn’t want to say anything more. After paying, he carried a few big bags with both hands.
Shu Pan held Joy’s hand and walked in front. Gu Shaoting followed behind, feeling very contented as he watched the mother and daughter.
When they got home, Shu Pan started cooking. Gu Shaoting wanted to help in the kitchen but Shu Pan chased him out. He would probably mess up if he helped.
Gu Shaoting watched Shu Pan, who had a flowery apron around her waist as she nimbly toss the wok of stir-fried vegetables. Her long black hair was casually tied up, revealing her fair neck.
It wasn’t difficult to tell from her appearance and actions that she was a straightforward and decisive person.
Gu Shaoting felt gratitude blossom in his heart as he watched the scene. The ideal picture of a happy and harmonious family was exactly like this in his mind.
Shu Pan made three dishes and a soup: stir-fried broccoli with shrimps, vinegar ribs, steamed fish, and chestnut chicken soup. It was a sumptuous meal. The dishes were still steaming hot when they were served, emitting waves of fragrance.
Joy washed her hands and sat at the table, ready to eat.
Shu Pan prepared a small bowl for her and patiently cut the vegetables and meat into smaller pieces so she could eat on her own. Gratitude washed over Gu Shaoting again..
