Chapter 437 - 437: Woman?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

If Gu Shaoting knew what Gu Huanhuan was thinking deep down, he might have felt like strangling her.

At this time, he should have been at home cuddling with Shu Pan, showering her with affection. But now? This troublemaker showed no remorse, still cursing him for being single?

“Miss, Mr. Gu is doing this for your own good. You don’t understand how dangerous society can be nowadays. You, as such an innocent young girl, are very likely to be taken advantage of,” Mrs. Li chimed in to help.

“Mrs. Li, even you’re siding with him? That’s too much. You’re all bullying me!” Gu Huanhuan stomped her foot in frustration. If she went home, her budding entertainment career would be over.

“Alright, don’t be angry. Have a bowl of hot ginger soup, don’t catch a cold, and let’s talk things out,” Mrs. Li coaxed.

Gu Huanhuan wouldn’t budge.

She put on a childish look and ran to Gu Shaoting, massaging his back as she spoke, “Cousin, let’s compromise. I’ll report all my plans to you in the future, and I’ll consult with you before taking any acting jobs, okay?”

Her young, tender face was so endearing.

Gu Shaoting couldn’t bear to see her disappointed.

“I’ve just signed on for a youth drama, very innocent. Just got the contract. I’m waiting to join the crew. Brother, please be merciful. Breaking the contract would cost a lot of money,” Gu Huanhuan continued.

The young lady could be flexible. Gu Huanhuan lowered her posture, looking pitiful, making it hard for anyone to refuse her.

Gu Shaoting pondered for a moment. She was his only cousin, and he couldn’t bear to see her unhappy. Besides, it was rare for her to show enthusiasm for something.

Who cared about the money? He knew if he didn’t agree to her terms, who knows what kind of trouble this little troublemaker would cause later?

“Fine, if you want to stay in the entertainment industry, I’ll arrange for you a manager and two assistants. You must run any acting jobs by me first. If you don’t agree or can’t follow through, you come back to work at the company immediately,” Gu Shaoting finally relented, at least ensuring that she wouldn’t cause too much trouble under his watch.

Gu Huanhuan had ten thousand reasons to disagree. With everything under his control, what freedom did she have left? But wise people knew when to yield, and she could only agree for now.

“Great, I knew you’d always look out for me, cousin,” Gu Huanhuan’s flattery rang loud.

“Alright, it’s settled then,” Gu Shaoting glanced at his watch; it was already late.

“You’ll sleep in the guest room here tonight. Someone will come to pick you up tomorrow and help arrange your schedule,” Gu Shaoting instructed, then stood up and walked towards the foyer.

“Cousin, it’s so late. Aren’t you staying over tonight?” Gu Huanhuan inquired.

“No, I’m going back to Shuimu Qinghua,” Gu Shaoting replied without looking back.

“Strange. It’s not like someone’s waiting for him at home, and this is his house too. Is it necessary to go back so late?” She thought. “Does he have a woman? Is that why he’s in such a hurry to leave?”

Tonight, he checked his watch several times.

“Hmm, something’s up. I’ll have to find out the truth when I get the chance.” She made the decision. If there really was such a great woman, she would make sure to thank her properly on behalf of the whole family.

Gu Shaoting’s head was still throbbing from that bratty girl’s antics. When he got back home, the living room had a dim, warm light left on, a habit

of Shu Pan’s. Whenever he didn’t return, she would leave a light on to guide him.

He tiptoed into the room and saw Joy sleeping soundly, with a smile on her face, probably dreaming sweet dreams..
