Chapter 495: Dad, We’re Getting Married

Once in the house, Gu Shaoting put the gifts they brought on the coffee table.

Shu Pan was carrying a cake. Because it was packed well, the butter cream didn’t melt and the cake was in good condition.

Auntie Lu was very glad to see the entire family there and went into the kitchen happily to cook.

Shu Pan saw that Joy was playing in the living room and her father and Gu Shaoting were both there, so she also went into the kitchen.

“Panpan, get out quickly. It’s smoky and oily in here.” Auntie Lu stopped Shu Pan when she saw her walk in.

“It’s okay. It’s not like I’ve never cooked before. Let me help. It’ll be faster this way.” Shu Pan said indifferently.

“Panpan, how is it? Did Shaoting mention marriage with you?” Auntie Lu asked quietly when she saw that no one else was around.

Shu Pan was very touched. Although Auntie Lu was not her biological mother, her concern for her was no less than her biological mother’s.

She knew that Auntie Lu cared very much about marriage and didn’t want her to be short-changed.

“Auntie Lu, don’t worry. Shaoting has already proposed to me, and I’ve agreed.” Shu Pan felt that she shouldn’t have kept Auntie Lu worried.

Auntie Lu beamed. “Good, good.”

If he had marriage in mind, he was serious about her and not playing around.

Panpan had already suffered enough. She did not want her to be hurt again.

Shu Pan’s eyes instantly turned red.

She didn’t know that she had caused Auntie Lu so much worry.

In the living room, Shu Laide and Gu Shaoting, two grown men, were sitting quietly.

But they were both drinking tea in synchrony.

Gu Shaoting finally broke the silence. “Dad, Panpan and I are getting married.”

Shu Laide’s hand that was holding his teacup froze. He took a sip of tea and said, “Are you serious? You won’t be talking about divorce again in a few days, right?”

Shu Laide’s words were quite sarcastic, and Gu Shaoting felt a little embarrassed.

“Dad, don’t worry. I’m serious. I’ll make them happy.” Gu Shaoting said confidently.

Shu Laide nodded. What else could he say? After all, his daughter was still in love with this man and he was Joy’s father. It was the best thing for them to get married. It would be good for Joy’s development too.

Seeing that Shu Laide did not object, Gu Shaoting heaved a sigh of relief. He was very nervous on the way here.

After a long time…

“Time to eat.” Auntie Lu shouted as she brought out a large porcelain bowl.

Joy was the first to leave the living room.

“Grandma, I’m ready to eat. I’m hungry.” Joy’s childish voice was especially likable.

“Alright, my sweet baby. I’ll dish out soup for you first.” Auntie Lu was very happy. It had been a long time since the house was so lively.

“Come sit down and eat. It’s simple homecooked food.” Auntie Lu was a little worried that she wasn’t a good host.

After all, Gu Shaoting rarely came to their house in the past. One could count with one hand the number of times he came here when he was married to Panpan. Moreover, he came and went in a hurry every time. She and her father weren’t happy about it but they didn’t want Shu Pan to be sad, so they kept quiet.

Auntie Lu didn’t know what Gu Shaoting liked to eat, so she asked Shu Pan. But Shu Pan told her that she didn’t need to cater specially to him, that he would eat whatever was served. He wasn’t picky about food.

Auntie Lu wouldn’t be too casual either. After all, he would be her future son-in-law, so she made all her signature dishes.

Gu Shaoting ate happily and praised Auntie Lu’s cooking as he ate.

Did the sun rise from the west today? This man actually knew how to flatter Auntie Lu…

Shu Pan saw Gu Shaoting in a new light. He had disdained doing such things in the past.

But he had changed for her.

“If it’s delicious, then eat more.” Auntie Lu saw that someone appreciated her cooking and happily picked up more food for Gu Shaoting.

The whole family was happy.
