Chapter 679: Flustered

Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Seeing his boss stunned momentarily, Secretary Zhang guessed he had understood the rationale behind it all, and he finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Gu Shaoting sat back in his seat, resting his chin on his hand as he pondered, and Secretary Zhang slowly left the office, seeing this.

Gu Shaoting felt Secretary Zhang’s words made sense. As a man, he could be flexible. What was the harm in being the first to give in?

Why did he love her in the first place?

With that thought in mind, Gu Shaoting took out his phone and called Shu Pan.

The phone did not ring for long before it was picked up. Shu Pan’s lazy and indifferent voice came from the other end. “What’s the matter?”

Couldn’t he call her for no reason?

Gu Shaoting felt aggrieved. Why did his wife become like this recently? In the past, she would occasionally call, gently asking him if he had eaten or rested. How about these few days? She became cold and indifferent.

Was this the same person? Did she not love him anymore? Why didn’t she care about him anymore?

“I want to tell you that I have an appointment tonight. Go pick up Joy.” Gu Shaoting finally found a reason to call her, which was in fact true.

“Alright, I understand.” Shu Pan still sounded very cold.

Seeing Gu Shaoting not show an intention of apologizing, Shu Pan hung up the phone as soon as she finished speaking.

On the other end of the line, Gu Shaoting heard the “beep” sound of the phone and was so angry he nearly threw the phone at the wall.

Gu Shaoting gritted his teeth, wondering if she found him annoying. Didn’t she know that by calling her, he was already giving in? How unreasonable she was!

Was she playing dumb? Wasn’t she very clever? Why couldn’t she guess his intentions?

The more Gu Shaoting thought about it, the angrier he became. He wanted to argue with her when he got home tonight.

After work, Shu Pan went to pick up Joy as usual.

Gu Shaoting had an appointment with someone to discuss some matters and had dinner.

Secretary Zhang went with them.

After the meal, the other party said they should go out for a drink and relax. If it were any other time, Gu Shaoting would definitely reject it because he wanted to go back to accompany Shu Pan after work, and she didn’t like to drink alone.

But now that the two were in silent treatment, he purposely wanted to go. He wanted to see how she would react when he returned home.

Gu Shaoting had only been sitting in the KTV for a short while before he grabbed his phone anxiously. He felt like ten thousand claws scratching at his heart, making him extremely uncomfortable. He wanted to call her several times but forced himself to resist the urge.

Secretary Zhang looked at him and knew it had something to do with Shu Pan again. He dared not say anything and sat quietly at the side, pretending not to see it lest he accidentally become cannon fodder. After all, men trapped by love should not be provoked.

Gu Shaoting wondered if Shu Pan didn’t like him anymore. Why didn’t she call to ask about him when he came out to socialize?

If it was in the past, she would have called to ask about his well-being and told him not to drink.

But now? It had been so long, why didn’t she call?

Frustrated and angry, Gu Shaoting was helpless and could not do anything but feel upset by himself.

“Secretary Zhang, do you think my attitude toward her has been bad recently?” Gu Shaoting looked hesitantly at Secretary Zhang.

He was just feeling upset. He indeed couldn’t bear to separate from Shu Pan.

Secretary Zhang scratched his head. He knew Mr. Gu would eventually ask him this question. To be honest, Mr. Gu had been a little proud recently. Most importantly, Mr. Gu had intentionally distanced himself from Shu Pan to make his presence felt.

He was thinking of a better way to tell him.
