When Gu Shaoting heard that, he couldn’t help but say, “What’s wrong with taking care of me? I’m a patient.”

His tone sounded as if he had some serious illness.

Shu Pan resisted the urge to roll her eyes and turned around to start cooking. “What are we having tonight?” Gu Shaoting peeked in the kitchen.

“Prawn porridge.” Shu Pan replied.

“No other dish? Just porridge?” Gu Shaoting rubbed his stomach to imply that porridge might not be enough for him.

“I didn’t buy any groceries.” Shu Pan said to shut him up.

“Didn’t I give you a bank card last time? Buy whatever you want. No need to stinge.” Gu Shaoting thought that Shu Pan didn’t go grocery shopping because of money.

“I’m too lazy to go to the market. You can go shop for what you like.” Shu Pan said as she busied herself.

Shu Pan washed the rice and cooked it in a clay pot. Porridge tasted better when cooked in a clay pot.

When the porridge thickened, she added the prawns and stirred them in the porridge to cook them.

Gu Shaoting found Shu Pan fascinating as he watched her work. Although she was not wearing fancy clothes or makeup, her devotion when making porridge for him warmed his heart.

After the porridge was done, gentle curls of steam rose from its surface. The porridge looked creamy and delicious, like it would melt in one’s mouth when eaten.

Shu Pan placed the clay pot on a hot mat on the dining table. She then took out two bowls and filled them with porridge. Gu Shaoting’s stomach was already growling.

He pulled out a chair and sat down, then asked Shu Pan to sit as well. He stirred his porridge carefully, releasing steam with a comforting aroma into the air.

The marinated prawns were very tasty and appetizing. It was like heaven in every bite for Gu Shaoting.

Gu Shaoting ate happily. He really enjoyed this feeling of a sense of home.

Gu Shaoting felt more energetic after padding his stomach with a bowl of porridge. He looked up at Shu Pan and saw her gentle profile under the warm lights. Her expression was calm as she blew on her porridge before she put tiny mouthfuls into her pink and soft mouth.

Gu Shaoting was mesmerized until Shu Pan suddenly turned her head and asked, “What’s the matter? What’s wrong?”

“Nothing. Oh, I’m going to France for a business trip the day after tomorrow. Would you like me to buy you anything?” Gu Shaoting felt that all women were shopaholics and wanted to please her.

“No. I have enough things.” Shu Pan replied casually as she continued to eat her porridge.

Gu Shaoting felt a little hurt. Why couldn’t Shu Pan just be nice to him?

What heinous crime had he committed that made her so angry? That made her so cold towards him all the time?

“Don’t all women like handbags and cosmetics? You don’t like?” Gu Shaoting felt it too difficult to please her.

“I have no interest in those things. By the way, I’m planning to move back home after you are back from your business trip. After all, it’s not good for me to stay here for too long.” Shu Pan decided to inform him since he was there. “No, I still can’t remember anything. How can you leave?” Gu Shaoting got a little anxious. He had just gotten back on his feet, and she already wanted to leave.

“I didn’t sign a contract with you. I’ve already taken care of you for a while. I’m just letting you know now out of courtesy.” Shu Pan was full after a bowl of porridge.

Although Gu Shaoting was affected by Shu Pan’s words, his appetite was still strong, and he finished all the porridge in the clay pot.

He stood up in satisfaction after he finished. He was about to act nice so he could gain some sympathy points by washing up but Shu Pan stopped him.

She quickly cleared the table and washed the dishes. If a young master who hardly lifted a finger at home did that, he’d probably end up breaking the clay pot..
