Chapter 259: Slave to His Daughter

Shu Pan didn’t worry for no reason because a large company could sometimes go into crisis because of a moment of negligence.

She comforted herself that she was doing this for her own good.

“I’m done with work. Let’s eat.” Gu Shaoting changed the subject.

“What did the doctor say? I’ll ask the department head to come and take a look?” Gu Shaoting looked at Shu Pan and asked.

“No need for so much trouble. Her fever has subsided. She can probably go home after a short period of observation.” Shu Pan’s face was also slightly pale. “Alright then. Have a good rest at home.” Gu Shaoting’s heart ached when he saw her exhausted face.

After lunch, Joy’s doctor came over to check on her. She was fine and they could finally go home.

After they got into the car, they slowly drove out of the hospital parking lot and blended into the noisy city traffic.

But it was so quiet inside the car that even their breathing sounded loud. Joy was also looking out the window quietly. Shu Pan sat in the back with her and patted her head.

Shu Pan looked at her daughter’s calm expression but felt a tug of war within her heart.

She could see Joy’s desire for fatherly love from her illness this time.

Had she been too selfish? Did she think that her love alone was enough for the child?

What should she do?

Gu Shaoting saw Shu Pan in a daze from the rearview mirror with a confused look in her eyes.

“What’s wrong?” Gu Shaoting asked softly.

“Nothing. I was just thinking about what to make for Joy when we get home. She only ate a little congee.” Shu Pan said perfunctorily.

“Maybe something bland. Let her rest some more. Don’t tire yourself out too.”

Gu Shaoting sent them home. Seeing that they were settled, he wanted to go back to the office.

Joy was reluctant to let him go. The little girl was more clingy than usual because she was sick.

“Uncle will come over when he’s done. Be good. When you’re feeling better, we’ll go out for some fun, okay?” Gu Shaoting coaxed Joy gently.

Secretary Zhang would probably get another shock if he saw this.

Once upon a time, CEO Gu was uncompromising and never soft-hearted.

And now? He obediently listened to the words of a little girl.

After Gu Shaoting left, Shu Pan asked Joy what she would like to eat. Perhaps Joy had no appetite because she was sick; she told her mother that she didn’t feel like eating.

Shu Pan let Joy rest in bed while she busied herself with her own things.

Gu Shaoting went back to the office and got really busy with work.

“Knock, knock, knock…” A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

He looked up and said, “Enter.”

“Brother Ting…” It was He Ming who walked in. He looked like he came here for something.

“I’m going away for a few days tomorrow. I’ll have to trouble you to come into office to hold the fort.” As expected, He Ming revealed his purpose the moment he entered.

Gu Shaoting thought for a moment and then asked, “Going away? Do you have an upcoming business trip?”

“Oh, it’s not for business. Xiaomeng is staying out of town for a while, so I’m going to visit her.” He Ming said with slight embarrassment as he fiddled with his hair.

“Have you confirmed your relationship? Your patience has finally paid off.” Gu

Shaoting was very jealous of He Ming. He felt that he was still very far away from winning back Shu Pan’s heart.

“I’m still under probation, so I must perform well.” He Ming smiled.

“Then go ahead. I hope you’ll win her over soon.” Gu Shaoting encouraged his good friend. He was also happy for his good friend’s success in love.

“Thanks. When Xiaomeng is my girlfriend, I’ll ask her to put in a good word for you in front of Shu Pan.” He Ming was a good friend indeed.

“Alright, I’ll wait for your good news..”
