“What day?” Shu Pan couldn’t remember.
“Silly girl, today is your birthday. Have you forgotten?” Gu Shaoting had to remind her.
“Oh, right. I don’t remember.” Shu Pan thought that birthdays were nothing to her. In her most difficult years, how could she be in the mood to remember her birthday?
It had been a few years since she had celebrated her birthday.
“Mommy, happy birthday.” Suddenly, Joy took out a bouquet of roses from the back seat and handed it to Shu Pan.
Shu Pan was stunned. She looked at the red roses and couldn’t come back to her senses for a long time.
“Isn’t it beautiful? Mommy, this is a gift from Uncle.” Joy smiled at the side.
Originally, Gu Shaoting wanted her to take a leave to celebrate. However, he knew her personality, so he had to surprise her after work.
“Thank you. It looks good.” Shu Pan hugged the flower and took a deep sniff. Shu Pan was a little surprised that Gu Shaoting was so romantic. This was the first bouquet she received from him.
Gu Shaoting was relieved to see that Shu Pan liked it. Actually, he had asked Secretary Zhang for advice.
Secretary Zhang told him that according to his years of experience, no woman would dislike flowers although it was tacky.
Gu Shaoting didn’t want to be disturbed tonight, so he asked for a private room.
Not long after they sat down, He Ming came over with Ye Xiaomeng.
“Girl, happy birthday.” Ye Xiaomeng couldn’t believe her ears when she received Gu Shaoting’s call inviting her.
Gu Shaoting had never done such a thing. In the past, Shu Pan’s birthday was always with her. After they divorced, Shu Pan didn’t care about her birthday anymore.
“It’s a gift for you. Open it when you get back.” When Ye Xiaomeng handed the gift to Shu Pan, she smiled mischievously.
Shu Pan was baffled. The gift box was very exquisite and not very heavy.
Shu Pan took the gift and placed it beside her.
“Thank you.” Shu Pan thanked her sincerely because Xiaomeng remembered her birthday every year.
Everyone gathered together happily. Gu Shaoting helped Shu Pan with a lot of food, which made her scream repeatedly.
Ye Xiaomeng was surprised but she was genuinely happy for her good friend.
After dinner, Gu Shaoting carried Joy. Shu Pan followed behind, holding Ye Xiaomeng’s gift.
Gu Shaoting drove home. The two of them didn’t speak on the way home. Shu Pan wanted to speak a few times, but she swallowed her words when she saw his cold expression.
She felt that Gu Shaoting was a multi-faced person. Sometimes, he was cold like an ice cube. He could freeze people three feet away from him. Whereas sometimes, he was so gentle that it could melt people’s hearts.
When they got home, Shu Pan helped Joy take a shower. When she came out, Joy had fallen asleep.
He was probably too excited today and tired.
After calming down, Shu Pan suddenly remembered Ye Xiaomeng’s gift. She waved it in her hand, but she couldn’t guess what it was.
It was an exquisitely wrapped gift box. Shu Pan opened it and asked, “What did Xiaomeng give me?”
After opening layer after layer, Shu Pan was shocked.
The exquisite gift box contained condoms. There were large, medium, and small sizes, and there were also different flavors.
Shu Pan was a little confused. Oh my god! There was also a small box that contained a thin nightdress. It was not a dress, but a piece of cloth and two straps.
Shu Pan thought of Xiaomeng’s evil smile and knew that she was up to something.
Shu Pan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Fortunately, she didn’t open the present in front of Gu Shaoting. Otherwise, she would be so embarrassed. She was unprepared..
