Finally, Gu Shaoting sat up straight and looked at Shu Pan, her lips slightly swollen from his gentle kisses. His voice hoarse, he said, “Shu Pan, I’m telling you now, I love you. I am serious and loyal to you. You are the one I want to spend the rest of my life with.”
Gu Shaoting’s words caught Shu Pan off guard. His straightforward declaration was unexpected.
It seemed like she hadn’t heard him say something like this in a long time.
Gu Shaoting sounded so certain, more determined than ever. Shu Pan was the one he wanted to be with for the rest of his life.
“Shaoting, you misunderstand me,” Shu Pan pursed her lips and continued, “You can’t claim to love me while holding another woman’s hand. That’s not the kind of love I want. I want absolute loyalty, not just empty words of loyalty while you’re with other women. I’ve become a laughingstock, do you understand how I feel?” Shu Pan’s voice choked with emotion. Gu Shaoting frowned, “What other woman? What laughingstock?”
Why didn’t he understand anything?
Shu Pan didn’t expect Gu Shaoting to be so brazen. She was starting to lose respect for him.
“You have other women outside, and the whole world knows it. Do you think you can deceive everyone?” Shu Pan suddenly burst out in anger.
“Do you really not trust me? Do you think I’m that kind of person?” Gu Shaoting said, leaning in to kiss her again.
Shu Pan was prepared for this. She dodged and glared at Gu Shaoting. “Do you think every problem can be solved by doing this?”
“You want to accuse me, then make it clear to me so I know what I’m being blamed for,” Gu Shaoting said helplessly.
If he didn’t know that Shu Pan wasn’t the type to make baseless accusations, he would have thought she was just being stubborn.
As Gu Shaoting spoke, Shu Pan began to doubt herself. Maybe she had jumped to conclusions too quickly. After all, assuming Gu Shaoting was cheating just because of a glimpse of someone’s back seemed unreasonable.
But upon further reflection, there was no smoke without fire. If there wasn’t an issue with him, why was he the only one caught in the picture?
She didn’t want to keep this matter to herself. Some things needed to be addressed as soon as they were discovered. Letting it escalate into an uncontrollable situation would be unsightly.
“Do you not know what you’ve done?” Shu Pan snorted coldly.
“I really don’t know.” Gu Shaoting’s expression was genuinely innocent; he was
utterly bewildered.
“Unlock your phone and take a look at the entertainment news,” Shu Pan couldn’t be bothered to argue further. She instructed him directly to see for himself, unwilling to waste any more words on him.
Obediently, Gu Shaoting opened the news app on his phone and scrolled down to the entertainment section. With just a little scrolling, he stumbled upon a very familiar image.
Wasn’t this a picture of him with that annoying girl? How did it end up looking so ambiguous?
No wonder Secretary Zhang had been casting furtive glances at him all day; she probably recognized the back of his head.
If even Secretary Zhang thought so, no wonder Shu Pan was angry. She must have recognized him at first glance.
Thinking along these lines, his anger subsided, replaced by a sense of smug satisfaction. It proved that she cared about him, hence her reaction.
“Well, what do you think? You don’t recognize this person, do you? Have I wrongly accused you?” Shu Pan pointed at his photo, demanding answers.
Gu Shaoting looked at her. “Do you really not trust me? If there’s something, you can confront me face to face. From now on, you’re not allowed to sulk and not come home.”
“Does that mean you’re admitting it?” Shu Pan’s tone became more forceful.
Suddenly, Gu Shaoting cupped Shu Pan’s face and kissed her fiercely once again..
