“Xiaomeng wasn’t feeling very well, so we just had a drink and came back,” Shu Pan sighed, clearly affected by Xiaomeng’s mood.

Gu Shaoting also understood the reason behind it, feeling helpless.

Just then, Gu Shaoting’s phone rang. He walked to the living room to answer the call.

“Mommy, we’re going to see Grandma today,” Joy whispered to Shu Pan.

“Grandma?” Shu Pan repeated, puzzled.

“Yeah, Daddy’s mommy,” Joy raised her voice, afraid Shu Pan wouldn’t know who she meant.

“Oh, what are you going there for?” Shu Pan asked, curious.

“I don’t know, I was playing, but they’re speaking so loudly,” Joy tilted her

head, thinking for a moment before replying.

Shu Pan’s hand paused as she was eating her snack. Were they arguing? What was it about? Was it because of her?

Shu Pan glanced at Gu Shaoting. He was still on the phone, speaking in a language she didn’t understand. Listening to his deep, magnetic voice, Shu Pan found herself momentarily distracted, feeling a bit embarrassed.

After Shu Pan finished eating, Gu Shaoting ended the call. Joy had already gone to her room to play.

He walked over, looking at her with affection, gently touching her hair.

“Panpan, I have a business trip to France. I’m leaving tomorrow.”

“Huh?” Shu Pan suddenly snapped out of her daze, eyes widening. “Why so sudden? Did something happen?”

There had been no warning signs. Why did he suddenly have to go on a

business trip? Surely something significant must have happened for him to leave so suddenly.

“There’s a bit of an issue over there that needs my attention,” There were some problems with the collaboration with Mr. John, and he needed to handle it personally.

Shu Pan hugged him, nuzzling his chest, wrinkling her nose. “How long will you be gone? Both Joy and I will miss you.”

Gu Shaoting paused for a moment, seeming a bit moved. He rarely saw Shu Pan express herself like this. With a smile in his deep eyes, he replied, “Really?

Probably about a week.”

Blushing, Shu Pan nodded. “That long?”

They had been spending every day together recently, so now that he suddenly had to go on a business trip, she was starting to feel a bit uneasy.

“I’ll try to come back as soon as possible,” Gu Shaoting held her tightly, kissing her ear before finding her lips and kissing her directly. His hands started to wander a bit, but luckily, Shu Pan still had her wits about her and stopped him in time.

“Don’t, Joy is still here. Can’t you see what time it is?” Shu Pan chided playfully. This man really didn’t care about the occasion or the time.

Before, she had no idea that he, who was usually so cold and reserved, had such strong desires in this regard.

Now, he was almost clinging to her every night, and she had no idea where he got so much energy from.

“Well, then you better make it up to me tonight,” Gu Shaoting whispered in her ear, leaving behind an ambiguous remark.

“Ugh, you’re so annoying,” Shu Pan blushed and gave him a shy glare.

Because Gu Shaoting would be away on a business trip for so long, Shu Pan took on the role of the perfect wife and mother.

She helped him pack his bags, opened his closet, which was filled with neatly hung shirts, trousers, and suits.

Gu Shaoting loved watching Shu Pan organize his things. She looked like a virtuous wife, devoted only to him.

Sure enough, that night, Gu Shaoting kept his promise, repeating his actions over and over until Shu Pan begged him to stop.

Afterward, Gu Shaoting hugged Shu Pan. “You’ll have a lot on your plate lately. If you need help, just ask He Ming. There’s a lot going on here, and this time it’s just me and Secretary Zhang going.”

Shu Pan nodded, then asked, “Don’t you have anything to tell me?”

Gu Shaoting lowered his head to give her a kiss. “I’ll miss you.”

Shu Pan frowned slightly, clearly unsatisfied with his response..
