“What person?” Gu Huanhuan suddenly became interested and asked curiously.

Gu Shaoting remained silent, maintaining an air of mystery.

“You’ll find out when the time comes. Get some rest,” Gu Shaoting said before hanging up without waiting for her response.

Ugh, he’s teasing again, but she was really itching to know who Gu Shaoting would introduce to her. Could it be his girlfriend? If so, she really had to thank her.

Gu Huanhuan began to look forward to that day.

Gu Shaoting took one final drag from his cigarette, extinguished it, and then turned back to the living room.

But Shu Pan was no longer there, so he hesitated for no more than a moment before entering the bedroom.

Seeing Shu Pan quietly folding clothes, he walked over and gently hugged her from behind.

Shu Pan was taken aback but didn’t turn around or pull away.

“Silly, don’t keep things to yourself in the future. I didn’t lie to you; that girl is GU Huannuan, my secona uncle’s aaugnter. YOU didn’t Know ner Derore Decause she was studying abroad,” Gu Shaoting patiently explained.

Shu Pan suddenly recalled something; he had mentioned having a sister before, but she never had the chance to meet her, and now she was all grown up.

“That girl came back to become a star after graduation, causing quite a stir in the family. That night, I was dealing with her matters, which is why I came home late and didn’t tell you,” Gu Shaoting’s deep voice echoed in her ears.

The breath he exhaled made her feel a bit strange.

“How is she now?” Shu Pan suddenly felt a little embarrassed, realizing she might have been unreasonable.

“I just called her to clarify things. That little troublemaker just wanted some scandal for publicity,” Gu Shaoting said, sounding a bit frustrated.

“Oh,” Shu Pan nodded.

“Now you’re not angry anymore, right? Can I interpret your behavior as jealousy?” Gu Shaoting teased, a faint smile playing on his lips.

His previously gloomy mood finally lightened.

“…,” Shu Pan was speechless.

Ugh…

Shu Pan felt utterly embarrassed, her face turning red. Thinking about how she didn’t clarify things before getting upset, she wished she could just disappear into the ground.

“Well, it’s not entirely my fault. You should’ve told me beforehand,” Shu Pan pouted, partly blaming Gu Shaoting.

“Okay, okay, it’s all my fault, my queen. Are you not angry with me now?” Gu Shaoting said with a smile.

Shu Pan leaned against him, listening to his strong heartbeat. She nuzzled into his embrace like a kitten, wrapping her arm around his lean waist.

“I’m not angry. Seeing the photos was disappointing because I felt like you betrayed our love. I can endure other people’s ridicule, but it hurts,” Shu Pan said softly.

In the end, their relationship was too fragile and needed more nurturing, more trust.

“Give me more confidence in the future. You and Joy are the people I care about the most,” Gu Shaoting gently stroked her head, speaking tenderly.

“Oh, and tomorrow, I’ll make time to introduce you to Huanhuan,” Gu Shaoting suddenly remembered.

“Are you sure?” Shu Pan felt a bit awkward, considering she used to be her sister-in-law, and now she was with her brother.

“That girl owes you an apology. She shouldn’t have caused so much trouble,” Gu Shaoting grumbled.

“Don’t be too hard on her. I think she knows she was wrong.”

Gu Shaoting couldn’t help but lower his head and kiss Shu Pan. This time, his kiss was gentle, like a feather caressing her heart..
