Gu Shaoting took Shu Pan to the most bustling mall. Along the way, Gu Shaoting reverted to his usual demeanor—aloof and unapproachable.
It was mostly Shu Pan doing the talking. She asked a question, he replied with a brief answer or a nod.
Although Gu Shaoting didn’t speak much, he never let go of Shu Pan’s hand, holding it tightly as they strolled along.
Wasn’t this feeling a bit special?
Because they rarely went out like this.
But soon, they attracted attention. The man was handsome, and the woman was beautiful.
Shu Pan wasn’t particularly fond of leisurely shopping and didn’t have anything specific to buy. Whatever she needed, she would directly enter a store and purchase it without delay.
After a while, they entered a brand clothing store.
It was a brand that Shu Pan had always wanted to buy but hesitated due to its high prices.
This store sold scarves for thousands and new items for tens of thousands.
It was a luxury in clothing. Shu Pan wouldn’t have stepped foot in such a place if Gu Shaoting hadn’t brought her.
Gu Shaoting had bought her gifts before. She was just thinking about how to repay him when this opportunity arose.
Gu Shaoting didn’t lack anything, and she also wanted him to like it.
With the weather soon turning cooler, buying clothes would be practical. He should appreciate that.
The clothes here wouldn’t embarrass him.
“Let’s go in and have a look.” Shu Pan eagerly grabbed his hand.
“Sure, let’s go.” Gu Shaoting nodded.
“Welcome… M… Mr. Gu…” The moment they stepped in, the staff’s enthusiastic expression froze, and they stuttered, “Mr. Gu…”
Gu Shaoting looked bewildered. Was this one of his employees? He seemed to have no impression of her whatsoever.
The saleswoman turned out to be MO Lan, who had been recently fired from the Gu Group. After being dismissed, she couldn’t establish herself in the design industry, so she ended up working here as a saleswoman. “Do you know me?” Gu Shaoting looked at her in surprise.
He had no recollection of encountering such a woman.
MO Lan’s initially cheerful expression dimmed upon seeing Shu Pan. She had wanted to talk to Gu Shaoting about possibly returning to the company, but seeing Gu Shaoting and Shu Pan holding hands so intimately, she abandoned the idea.
Seeing MO Lan’s glare filled with resentment, Shu Pan involuntarily tightened her grip on Gu Shaoting.
It was really unexpected to encounter such an enemy here. It’s a small world indeed.
“Miss, could you please show us these clothes?” Shu Pan pointed to a few new items.
MO Lan gritted her teeth in anger, but another saleswoman quickly approached. “Miss, are you buying these for your boyfriend? Wait a moment;
I’ll help you with that.”
The saleswoman’s sweet words instantly defused the awkwardness.
Shu Pan smiled. She picked up a thin sweater from the shelf, a classic style that she felt suited Gu Shaoting’s temperament in terms of color and fabric.
“Try this on, what do you think?” Shu Pan held up the sweater against Gu
Shaoting, then looked at him expectantly.
Gu Shaoting liked it when Shu Pan took care of things for him.
Although Shu Pan was somewhat ignorant, she knew that the clothes Gu Shaoting wore were all handmade, so she was worried he might find them uncomfortable.
Shu Pan anxiously awaited Gu Shaoting’s response. “Okay,” Gu Shaoting agreed without hesitation..
