Chapter 778: Spoiling
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Gu Shaoting heard her words, just smiled faintly, but didn’t let go. He gazed into her bright eyes and pearl-like teeth, his eyes filled with indulgence.
Shu Pan noticed he still hadn’t released his hold, so she stopped struggling and instead hooked her hand around his neck. She adopted his usual way of sizing people up, narrowing her eyes to thin slits, and looked at him with a sly expression. “Mr. Gu, did something good happen? You seem unusually cheerful.”
Indeed, today he was smiling, and there was unmistakable joy in his eyes.
“Yes.” Gu Shaoting’s narrow black eyes narrowed slightly as he scrutinized her, the depths of his gaze unfathomable. “Would you like to hear about it?”
Shu Pan lifted her head to meet his gaze, his eyes intense and sharp. “What’s it about?”
Shu Pan was instantly curious. If he was saying it wasn’t business-related, then it must be something personal. And he wouldn’t discuss business with her.
“I’ve finally let go of some pent-up frustration,” Gu Shaoting sighed. “The last time Charlene and her ex-boyfriend sent you those photos and videos, they got Tong Fei to stage a show to make you misunderstand me and leave me. But now, those who plotted against me have finally faced consequences.”
Gu Shaoting didn’t say anything, he simply planted a kiss on Shu Pan’s forehead.
He released Shu Pan and walked over to the steps in the room, taking off his suit jacket and loosening his tie around his neck. “You’re both my babies. I really can’t bear to be stern with them, but I’ll make sure to raise him well.”
“No principles,” Shu Pan rolled her eyes at him.
“Hmm,” Gu Shaoting showed no sign of embarrassment.
Shu Pan sighed helplessly and then walked over to someone.
Gu Shaoting paused in loosening his tie, curious about what she was up to.
Shu Pan deliberately tiptoed forward, bringing her mouth close to his. Just when Gu Shaoting thought she was going to do something, Shu Pan suddenly stepped back, then looked at him with a mischievous smile.
“Revenge is a dish best served cold. Just you wait,” Gu Shaoting gave her a meaningful look, and Shu Pan blushed and turned her face away.
She really lacked confidence now. Looking at herself in the mirror, she saw her belly as large as a basket, her whole body feeling bloated, like a penguin.
