Ye Xiaomeng looked at He Ming’s profile as his warm hand over hers warmed her heart.
“He Ming, thank you for giving me such a romantic dinner.” Ye Xiaomeng said emotionally.
“Silly girl, we can come here whenever you like. We can be romantic every day.” He Ming rubbed her head.
Since Ye Xiaomeng’s business trip wasn’t over yet, He Ming did not want to leave so soon.
He had spent an entire week with Ye Xiaomeng when Gu Shaoting called.
“Bro, are you abandoning your job for a woman now?”
Gu Shaoting was supportive of He Ming’s time away at first but who was going to support him now?
In the past week, he had to deal with endless documents every day and attend so many meetings. He had been so busy that he didn’t even have time to drink water.
By the time he finally had some free time, it was almost five o’clock.
Based on his recent routine, he would be out the door to pick up Joy instead of working some more in the office.
But he hadn’t had time to see Shu Pan and Joy in the past few days because he had to attend social functions after work. He Ming had always represented him at those functions.
He only had a few hours of sleep last night and was having a headache. He leaned back in his office chair and massaged his forehead for a while before he picked up the phone and called He Ming.
“Brother Ting, thank you for covering for me. My Mengmeng will be able to go home the day after tomorrow. I’ll wait to go home with her. Please cover me for two more days.” He Ming’s tone was chirpy. It seemed that he had been successful in love.
Gu Shaoting perked up when he heard that. “How did it go? You succeeded?” “I’m already hers.” He Ming said a little annoyingly. He was bragging.
“Congratulations. This day has finally come.” Gu Shaoting congratulated him sincerely even when his own success in love was still rather far away.
“Thanks. Let’s catch up over dinner when I’m back.” He Ming ended the call quickly when he saw Ye Xiaomeng walk in.
Gu Shaoting was very envious.
He decided to decline tonight’s social engagement and visit Shu Pan and Joy.
Soon, he was full of fighting spirit as he dove back into work.
Gu Shaoting left the office at 6 p.m. sharp. He went to the largest shopping mall in Bin City before he went to Shu Pan’s house.
The mall was filled with a dazzling array of goods. Gu Shaoting walked into the highest end boutique.
When the sales assistants saw Gu Shaoting, a tall, handsome and well-dressed man, walk into the shop, they all walked up to him to welcome him.
In their eyes, Gu Shaoting was an easy mark.
True enough, he asked for something expensive as soon as he opened his mouth. “Show me the nicest bag you have here.”
Gu Shaoting was going to task Secretary Zhang to buy a gift for Shu Pan, but it wouldn’t be sincere that way.
After non-stop recommendations from the sales assistants, he chose an apricot-colored bag with a timeless design.
Gu Shaoting knew that much about Shu Pan. She always kept a low profile and didn’t like to show off, and she liked subtle but elegant colors.
He guessed that she would like the hag-
Although it wasn’t the most expensive item in the shop, it wasn’t cheap either. Gu Shaoting paid and signed for the bag without batting an eye.
Gu Shaoting headed quickly to Shu Pan’s house with the bag.
Although Shu Pan sometimes didn’t want to see him, he ignored it because he had to be thick-skinned to succeed.
When he arrived at Shu Pan’s house, she was cooking. When she saw him, Shu Pan Imew that he would stay for dinner, so she cook two more dishes. When she came out of the kitchen, she saw Gu Shaoting playing with Joy.
“Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner.” Shu Pan said.
“Mommy, Uncle Gu got you this bag.” Joy walked up to her with a paper bag..
