“It’s not much,” came He Ming’s voice from the phone.
Gu Shaoting paused, feeling somewhat uneasy. “Why is it taking so long? It’s been almost a day, and still no results?”
“Yeah, because it involves privacy, it’s been difficult to coordinate with the hotel,” He Ming sounded a bit frustrated.
“But there’s some progress. I asked one of the waitresses at the hotel, and she said she saw Tong Fei and Shu Pan talking, and it seemed like they were having some kind of disagreement,” He Ming informed Gu Shaoting of the investigation’s findings.
Gu Shaoting remained silent, a faint suspicion forming in his mind.
Wasn’t using drugs a method Tong Fei excels at?
“Do you suspect Tong Fei?” He Ming asked, puzzled by Gu Shaoting’s prolonged silence.
“It’s possible. She and Shu Pan seem to have some grievances, and considering our previous interactions, she might still hold a grudge,” Gu Shaoting basically confirmed it was Tong Fei, but he didn’t want to wrongly accuse her. He wanted her to admit it willingly, without any clever excuses.
“Alright, I’ll have someone look into it further,” He Ming hung up.
Ye Xiaomeng, who was nearby, overheard and asked anxiously, “Did something happen to Shu Pan? How is she now?”
“She’s fine now, resting at home,” He Ming reassured her, pulling her to sit on the sofa.
“What’s going on? Why do I feel like she’s been getting into trouble more often since she got together with Gu Shaoting? Are they incompatible?” Ye Xiaomeng couldn’t help but be sarcastic.
“Don’t jump to conclusions. She’s probably being intentionally targeted. We’re still investigating,” He Ming hugged her reassuringly.
Ye Xiaomeng remained silent. “How are you feeling lately? Don’t stress too much. How about we take a vacation together? It might help to clear your mind,” He Ming kissed her.
Ye Xiaomeng also felt a bit overwhelmed lately, especially with the pressure to have a child.
Everyone understood the logic. Things didn’t happen just because you wanted them to, especially when it came to having children.
“You’ve been quite busy lately, haven’t you? Let’s talk about it when you have time. I can ask Shu Pan’s opinion then, and we can all go together, it’ll be more lively,” Ye Xiaomeng replied somewhat absentmindedly, her mind wandering to which hospital had skilled doctors she could visit.
He Ming understood her thoughts. He planned to talk to his mother about marrying Xiaomeng.
Xiaomeng lacked a sense of security. She wanted to have a child and approval from Mother He. So, he wanted to provide her with what she lacked.
The next day, Shu Pan woke up to find Gu Shaoting already preparing breakfast.
“Darling, time for breakfast,” Gu Shaoting, wearing an apron, opened the door and called out to Shu Pan in bed.
“Okay,” Shu Pan responded quickly, swiftly getting ready.
“Panpan, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you,” Gu Shaoting hesitated, feeling a bit uneasy about bringing it up.
“Go ahead,” Shu Pan frowned slightly.
“Are you tired from work?” Gu Shaoting asked cautiously.
“Not too much. Why do you ask?” Shu Pan looked at him, puzzled by his question today.
“How about quitting your job and staying at home? Don’t overwork yourself. If you get bored, you can come to the office with me,” Gu Shaoting suggested. He didn’t want her to be so tired, and with her by his side, he felt safer, not constantly worried about what might happen next.
Shu Pan was surprised by Gu Shaoting’s suggestion.
“I can manage for now. Let’s consider it when I can’t juggle family and work anymore,” Shu Pan felt that women needed to work to show their worth. If she stayed at home doing nothing every day, she would go crazy..
