“I know. Thanks, Chi.” Shu Pan said suddenly with feeling.
“Do you feel any discomfort?” Wen Chi asked with concern.
“I’m okay. Just lack of appetite and feeling nauseous all the time.” Shu Pan frowned when she said this.
“Those are normal pregnancy symptoms. Try to eat light, small meals but more often.” Wen Chi instructed with care.
Shu Pan felt her heart warm. No matter when or where, Chi was always like this, so caring and attentive.
“Okay.” Shu Pan nodded and took a sip of her sour plum juice. If it was any other time, she would be making a sour face when drinking plum juice, but it tasted just nice now.
She smacked her lips in satisfaction. Wen Chi couldn’t help but smile when he saw her childish reaction.
The two of them chatted for a while before Wen Chi checked the time and said, “It’s getting late. Let me send you home.”
“No need. I’m going back to the office. It’s out of your way.” Shu Pan quickly shook her head. She knew that he had just finished a long shift at the hospital and he would need to take a big detour if he sent her to work.
“It’s okay. Let’s go.” Wen Chi stood up first.
“Alright then. Sorry to trouble you.” Shu Pan stood up with her bag.
In the car, Shu Pan couldn’t help but sigh as she watched Wen Chi attentively adjust the thermostat to just the right temperature. What kind of girl would deserve an outstanding man like Chi? She hope that he would find his Miss Right soon and live happily ever after.
After saying goodbye to Wen Chi, Shu Pan walked into the office. Everyone was busy and she did not dare to slack off for fear of inviting gossip. Not many people knew that she was already married to Gu Shaoting. They only guessed that they were dating.
When Shu Pan had a moment to herself, she remembered that she hadn’t checked her phone the whole day. She had put it on silent and had forgotten about it.
She took out her phone and saw three missed calls from Gu Shaoting.
She vacillated for a while, wondering if she should call him back. But she finally decided against it.
She wouldn’t know what to say to him if he picked up. She felt frustrated but didn’t know who she could complain to.
Xiaomeng was also pregnant and busy with her wedding preparations. She wouldn’t want to disturb her.
She didn’t know how to tell Gu Shaoting, because he would probably apologize in the end but repeat the same mistake later. What was the point of that?
It was not that she was being difficult, but she had thought it through and would like to put her foot down.
So, she pretended that she didn’t see those missed calls and put her phone back into her bag.
She then threw herself into work and forgot about the time.
Towards the end of the workday when people were getting ready to clock out, a man in a suit walked briskly into Shu Pan’s office. As he was too eye-catching, everyone’s eyes turned to him.
And saw that the man was their boss, Mr. Gu Shaoting.
“Hello, CEO Gu.” Everyone called out in unison. They were all on guard, thinking that the CEO had come at the last minute to inspect their work.
“Hello, everyone.” Gu Shaoting replied coolly as he walked straight to Shu Pan’s desk. Shu Pan only realized that Gu Shaoting was here when she heard everyone greet him.
She furrowed her brows. This was not his style. Why was he so conspicuous?
When she was about to turn her head, Gu Shaoting was already standing in front of her.
His face was warm and inviting as he looked at her lovingly. “I’m here to pick you up from work.”
Gu Shaoting looked very calm on the outside. No one could tell that he had been sitting on pins and needles the entire afternoon. He rushed over to find Shu Pan as soon as he finished his meetings for the day because she hadn’t picked up his calls all day. He thought that something had happened to her until Mr. Zhang told him that Shu Pan was at work, so he came straight here to pick her up.
