“That’s good. Let’s shop some more. Isn’t it He Ming’s birthday? There will definitely be a candlelight dinner, followed by…” Shu Pan revealed a meaningful, evil smile.
“Girl, you’ve turned bad.” Ye Xiaomeng couldn’t help but feel relieved as she watched her friend joke. Shu Pan had become more cheerful, completely different from the Shu Pan who was tortured by the heavy burden of life.
“Let’s go. Buy a set of sexy lingerie and a sheer babydoll to wear in bed for He Ming. I guarantee that it’ll be the best birthday present he has ever received, not some branded shirt.”
Shu Pan pulled Ye Xiaomeng towards a lingerie store.
“Hello, are you serious?” Ye Xiaomeng stopped in her tracks and looked at Shu Pan in surprise.
“Yeah, let’s go. Just listen to me.” Ye Xiaomeng helplessly followed Shu Pan.
Her usually carefree self was suddenly shy.
In the end, under Shu Pan’s insistence, she bought some sexy underwear and a babydoll.
Ye Xiaomeng’s face flushed at the thought of wearing them.
The two of them walked around for a while more before they went home seDaratelv.
Shu Pan saw that it was almost time to pick Joy up, so she walked to her kindergarten that wasn’t far away.
When she arrived, Joy was already sitting on a stool wearing her backpack.
“Mommy, why are you here to pick me up today?” Joy ran out when she saw her mother.
“Don’t you like it when Mommy picks you up?” Shu Pan asked with feigned sadness. This little traitor Joy had been brainwashed by Gu Shaoting.
The two of them had gotten close because he had been picking her up from school lately.
“I like it. Why isn’t Uncle Gu here?” Joy asked with slight disappointment. Only a few seconds had passed yet she mentioned Uncle Gu again.
Shu Pan squatted down and told Joy seriously, “Joy, Uncle Gu is a very busy man. We can’t always trouble him. Do you understand?”
“But Uncle Gu said that he’s not an outsider and I can look for him whenever I miss him.” Joy argued eloquently.
“Those are just Uncle Gu’s pleasantries. You can’t take them too seriously.” Shu Pan felt a headache coming on.
“What are pleasantries? Why can’t they be taken seriously? Don’t tell me that everything that adults tell us is to coax children?” Joy had endless questions.
Now that Shu Pan hated Gu Shaoting, she had nothing to say to the child.
Gu Shaoting, who was at home, couldn’t help but sneeze a few times.
“No, what Uncle Gu said is true. But he also has to work and rest like everyone else. He can’t come and play with Joy every day, understand?” Shu Pan taught Joy patiently.
“Oh, I see.” Joy nodded her head like a little adult like she understood. “But if Uncle Gu isn’t here, how can I invite him to the zoo tomorrow?”
Joy felt troubled.
“Mommy just told you that Uncle Gu has to work. He may not have time.” Shu Pan wanted to dispel her thoughts.
“But Uncle Gu promised me last time. Besides, he has never seen animals like monkeys and elephants.” Joy replied seriously.
“Mommy, please call Uncle Gu and ask him.” Joy was insistent.
Shu Pan had no choice but to take out her phone and call Gu Shaoting. After the call was connected, Shu Pan passed her phone to Joy.
Joy held the phone in a dignified manner like a little adult. “Uncle Gu…” Gu Shaoting felt his heart melt when he heard Joy’s childish voice.
“Joy, what’s up?” Gu Shaoting asked softly, as if he was afraid of scaring Joy.
“Uncle Gu, Mommy and I are going to the zoo tomorrow. Do you want to come?” Joy invited him.
“Of course. I’ll prepare a delicious picnic for us tomorrow and pick you up.” Gu Shaoting replied happily. Excellent, he had another opportunity to spend time with them..
