“I’ve eaten something. What about you guys?”

“Joy had some noodles. I haven’t eaten yet,” Gu Shaoting said pitifully, his mind preoccupied with worry for Shu Pan, unsure if she had encountered any danger, so he had no appetite.

“Oh, then go ahead and eat something, and we can chat later,” Shu Pan said as she took off her shoes and headed straight to the living room.

Gu Shaoting looked bewildered. He thought his remark would make Shu Pan nervous and prompt her to arrange dinner, but she seemed to ignore it altogether.

What was going on? Had something happened to her?

Following behind Shu Pan, he saw her chatting with Joy, looking like a devoted wife and mother, not much different from usual. He began to think he might have been overthinking things.

After helping Joy take a bath and letting her play in her room, Shu Pan came out to the living room and saw Gu Shaoting sitting on the sofa.

Gu Shaoting waved to her, indicating she should sit beside him.

Shu Pan could feel his gaze on her as she approached him. “Have you eaten?” she asked.

“I had some noodles left, so I ate them,” Gu Shaoting replied, sensing that she had something to say. “Do you have something you want to talk to me about?”

Shu Pan sat down beside him and looked at him, trying to discern something from his gaze, like guilt perhaps?

But his gaze was firm and unwavering, showing no signs of wavering. She sighed softly and then spoke gently, “Shaoting, why do you want to be with me? Is it because of Joy?”

After saying it out loud, Shu Pan felt a lot lighter.

Ye Xiaomeng often said she was a person who stuck to her decisions, so when she decided to be with Gu Shaoting, she resolved to make it work and create a beautiful life together. But she didn’t know what was going on in his mind. Was he just playing games or serious? She herself was confused.

The relationship was not solely determined by one person. It required mutual effort to maintain. Now that problems had arisen, they must face, and she had already prepared for the worst.

Her personality tended to make her vulnerable in love because the other person always seemed to take advantage of her. So this time, she didn’t want to be passive. Self-deception was not her style.

“Why do you have such thoughts? If I wanted children, there are plenty of women willing to have them for me. But why do I only want to be with you? We’ve come so far, and yet you ask me such a question?” Gu Shaoting sounded disappointed.

He thought Shu Pan always understood him.

“Are you serious? What do you think is the most basic thing between partners? Let me tell you, it’s honesty, it’s loyalty,” Shu Pan said, her voice tinged with excitement.

“Do you think I’m not serious? Not loyal?” Gu Shaoting’s voice lowered, his gaze intense and inscrutable.

“I don’t know,” Shu Pan shook her head, her eyes slightly unfocused.

Before she could finish speaking, Gu Shaoting pushed Shu Pan down onto the sofa, his hot lips meeting hers in a fiery kiss.

Shu Pan was somewhat overwhelmed by his actions. Gu Shaoting held her tightly, as if he wanted to envelop her completely.

As he kissed her passionately, their lips and tongues intertwined, Shu Pan’s mind went blank.

She struggled to push him away, but it was futile, only fueling his intensity.

Finally, Shu Pan collapsed into his arms, overcome by the clean and pleasant scent of Gu Shaoting. She found it hard to resist as his faint masculine aroma enveloped her senses.

After a while, Gu Shaoting released her, and Shu Pan took a deep breath, feeling as if she had just been suffocated.

She had always known Gu Shaoting to be mysterious and unpredictable, never able to guess what he would do next..
