“Mom, you’re so beautiful. Will I be as beautiful as you in the future?” Joy asked happily, her flattery quite loud.

“Of course, you’re Mommy’s daughter. You’re definitely prettier than Mommy.” Shu Pan was also a little vain and was instantly amused.

Gu Shaoting listened to the conversation between the mother and daughter and couldn’t help but find it funny.

“Let’s go.” Gu Shaoting reached out his hand to Joy.

The family of three went out.

Along the way, Shu Pan was immersed in her own world and was very quiet. Gu Shaoting thought that she was afraid that talking would affect his driving, so he didn’t ask much.

When they reached the restaurant, Shu Pan held Joy and walked in first.

After everyone sat down, Gu Shaoting asked Shu Pan to order while he talked to Joy.

Seeing that she was still a little absent-minded after ordering, Gu Shaoting asked, “What’s wrong? You look like you have a lot on your mind.”

Shu Pan was stunned for a moment before shaking her head. “I guess it’s because I drank a little last night. My head feels heavy and I feel dizzy.”

“Don’t drink alcohol in the future. You usually don’t drink at all. If you suddenly drink a little, you’ll definitely feel uncomfortable.” Gu Shaoting tried to persuade her and his heart ached for her.

“Alright, I understand.” Shu Pan nodded.

Finally, the dishes were served. Joy was excited when she saw the dim sum.

“Mom, this is really delicious. You should try it too.” Joy picked up a piece and placed it in Shu Pan’s mouth.

“Okay, Mommy will give it a try.” Shu Pan took a bite. She felt that it was average. She did not know if it was because she was in a bad mood that she did not know the taste of anything she ate.

However, in order not to disappoint the child, she still pretended to exaggerate and said, “Wow, it’s really delicious. Joy, eat more.”

Her words could fool Joy, but not Gu Shaoting.

“Mom, if it’s delicious, you should eat more because I saw that you seemed a little unhappy. Your mood will improve after you’re full.” Joy was a mischievous child. She spoke like an adult to comfort her mother.

Shu Pan was stunned. She did not expect Joy to say such a thing. It was really unexpected.

Could it be that her unhappiness was written all over her face? Even Joy could tell, then what about Gu Shaoting? Did he notice?

Shu Pan subconsciously glanced at the man sitting opposite her.

He looked away and ate elegantly. Shu Pan’s emotions became complicated. She didn’t know if she was disappointed or glad.

If Joy could see the problem, could he not feel it? It was obvious that he did not pay much attention to her.

However, she felt that it was good that he did not know. If he asked, she would not know how to answer him.

Thinking of this, she felt much better.

In fact, Gu Shaoting knew every move Shu Pan made like the back of his hand. He didn’t say anything because he wanted to see if she would take the initiative to tell him.

Obviously, she didn’t intend to tell him.

Then, he heard her lying through her teeth. She smiled at Joy and said, “No, Mommy isn’t unhappy.”

This woman was getting better at lying. However, a woman’s heart was like a needle in the sea. Nothing had happened so early in the morning, so why was she feeling like this now?

Gu Shaoting was really puzzled.

He should just wait and see.

Joy was almost done eating. She said, “Dad, I’m full. Let’s go to the amusement park later.”

Joy looked at him expectantly.

Gu Shaoting nodded and said, “Okay, we’ll go after we eat.”

Gu Shaoting didn’t want to see Joy disappointed.

“Yay!” Joy clapped happily.

Shu Pan frowned and asked, “Aren’t you busy this afternoon?”

Shu Pan was afraid that he would delay the business matters he had to attend to.

“No, my mission today is to accompany you and your daughter.” Gu Shaoting said in a very neutral tone.
