Shu Pan quickly got up, worried that Gu Shaoting would change his mind.
When she changed out of her pajamas, she noticed that someone was staring at her. She felt shy immediately and pouted, “Can you not look?”
Gu Shaoting propped his chin without moving his eyes and said in his lazy morning voice, “Would you like me to come with?”
“No need. I’ll send Joy to school and come home right away.”
“Alright then. Hurry back and keep me company for physical therapy.” Rehabilitation exercises could be so boring.
“Aren’t you going to work today?” Shu Pan was curious. He Ming was on his honeymoon. Didn’t they need someone in-charge at the office?
“Nah. There’s nothing important. Mr. Zhang will bring me some documents after my physical therapy.”
…
When Mr. Zhang arrived, Gu Shaoting had already completed his exercises but felt a little depressed because he didn’t seem to have made any progress. He still felt the same. Was it possible that he would never return to normal?
Gu Shaoting felt slightly dejected. He had been diligent with the prescribed exercises, but they didn’t seem effective.
“CEO Gu, here are the documents for your review today.” Mr. Zhang placed the documents on the desk and continued, “CEO Gu, there’s been an update on the matter of Charlene and Qin Zhen. The private investigator has found out that you’ve been conned. The photos and videos were products of deep-fake by Charlene and Qin Zhen. Tong Fei was paid to be part of the con. We also found out that Charlene and Qin Zhen used to be a couple, but they broke up for some reason.”
Gu Shaoting listened intently to Mr. Zhang’s update in the study.
“Hm… I thought the same. However, scheming against me won’t end well.” Gu Shaoting said calmly.
Gu Shaoting then instructed, “Get someone to find out how Qin Zhen’s company is doing. Create some trouble for him and put him through the wringer. He wants to be a hero, then let’s find out if he’s qualified. As for Charlene, get someone to warn her. Tong Fei would be even easier to deal with. Her scandal is probably known throughout France. Take a few photos and send them to reporters.”
“I will not allow such a thing to happen again.”
“Noted.” Mr. Zhang nodded.
After Mr. Zhang left, Gu Shaoting leaned back in his chair and fell into deep thought until a knock on the door pulled him back to reality.
He had already guessed who it was. “Come in.”
“Has Mr. Zhang left?” Shu Pan looked around.
“Yeah, he just left. Why? You need him for something?” Gu Shaoting frowned.
“No, no. I thought you were still talking about work. By the way, I’ve booked an appointment with a specialist for you. How about we go to the hospital and check out your condition?” Shu Pan asked carefully after sensing an air of dejection about Gu Shaoting lately.
“Sure.” Gu Shaoting answered with feigned lightheartedness. He didn’t want Shu Pan to worry.
“Good. It’s for tomorrow morning. I’ll go with you.” Shu Pan heaved a sigh of relief. Thank goodness Gu Shaoting agreed. She felt really nervous because he had been over-sensitive lately, worried that she would despise him after his injury. She didn’t want to hurt him.
…
Gu Shaoting stayed in the study until late at night. When he returned to the master bedroom, he didn’t see the person he was expecting, so he went to Joy’s room.
Sure enough, Shu Pan was already asleep in Joy’s bed, with a storybook under her cheek.
Their daughter must have asked Shu Pan to read her bedtime stories for a long time, so when Joy fell asleep, Shu Pan fell asleep too.
Gu Shaoting looked at Shu Pan. He felt powerless because if it was before, he would have carried her back to bed. But nowadays, he needed help just to walk.
He saw Shu Pan slumped over Joy’s bed but couldn’t carry her back, so he woke her up.
