The four of them found a restaurant and sat down, with Shu Pan and Gu Shaoting on one side, and Ye Xiaomeng and He Ming on the other.

He Ming eagerly ordered food, his stomach growling loudly from missing breakfast due to catching their flight.

After they ordered, the waiter took the menu, and Shu Pan asked, “Are you two here on a business trip?”

He Ming looked at Gu Shaoting, who remained silent. Since it was his idea to come, He Ming decided to let him answer.

Gu Shaoting glanced at him, then cleared his throat and said, “Not really busy lately, so just thought we’d take a break and learn from you guys.”

“Ah, I see. That’s great, it’s nice to have company,” Shu Pan said happily without overthinking it.

But Ye Xiaomeng’s mind was sharp as a mirror. She knew Gu Shaoting must have seen the photo she sent. Otherwise, why would he come at this exact time? However, she didn’t mention it, silently listening to their conversation. His actions showed how much he cared about Shu Pan, and that was enough for her.

When the food arrived, Gu Shaoting didn’t eat himself, but instead began serving Shu Pan, filling her bowl to the brim.

“That’s enough, I can’t eat all of this,” Shu Pan protested.

“It’s okay, I’ll eat what’s left,” Gu Shaoting said calmly.

Shu Pan blushed instantly. This man didn’t seem to care about speaking so intimately in front of others.

After the meal, Shu Pan and Ye Xiaomeng went to the front desk to check out.

Then they moved to a seaside villa in Sentosa.

The villa was spacious, with two floors, and they had no worries about disturbing each other.

Gu Shaoting and Shu Pan stayed in a room on the second floor facing the sea.

As soon as they entered, Gu Shaoting locked the door and then swept Shu Pan into his arms.

“Honey, I missed you so much,” Gu Shaoting said pitifully.

“Mmm, I know, I missed you too,” Shu Pan replied, her words cut off as their lips met.

The two of them were like newlyweds, sweet and affectionate.

However, Gu Shaoting hadn’t forgotten about what needed to be addressed.

“Honey, did you go swimming?” Gu Shaoting asked, sitting on the sofa, unconsciously tapping the table.

“I did. I learned how to swim, but I’m so tired,” Shu Pan replied, puzzled by his question.

“I remember we went shopping for swimsuits together. Why didn’t you wear the one we bought?” Gu Shaoting asked directly, not beating around the bush.

“How did you know I didn’t wear the one we bought?” Shu Pan widened her eyes, finding it unbelievable.

Did he have some sort of clairvoyance? Or did he install a surveillance device on her?

There was no way anyone else could have told him. Only Xiaomeng knew she wore a bikini, but it couldn’t have been Xiaomeng who told him. They were always together, and Xiaomeng encouraged her to wear it.

“I guessed,” Gu Shaoting said mysteriously.

Shu Pan pursed her lips, realizing she had fallen into her own trap.

“I was going to wear it, but Xiaomeng said not to be restrained when we go out and to be confident,” confirming his guess.

Gu Shaoting pursed his lips and said, “Disobedience comes with consequences.”

His gaze bore into her, intense and burning.

Shu Pan’s face immediately flushed.

She understood what he meant by his words.

“It doesn’t matter. Everyone dresses like this,” Shu Pan thought to herself, finding him petty and narrow-minded.

“I don’t care about others. But you can’t dress like that in the future,” Gu Shaoting’s tone was firm.

“Dictator,” Shu Pan stamped her foot and then went back to her room.
