Chapter 764: A Heartwarming Scene
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
When Shu Pan got home, she was emotionally drained. Although she was very tired, she did not feel sleepy at all.
Xiaomeng had finally found her happiness. When Shu Pan saw them take their vows today, her eyes turned really red because Xiaomeng had gone through a lot to arrive at her happy ending. Shu Pan knew what that felt like.
Gu Shaoting was home too. He asked the driver to send him home earlier as his legs were sore after a while.
Shu Pan figured that he was probably in the study as there was no one in the living room.
Shu Pan rested in the living room for a while before she got up and walked to the study. Sure enough, she saw Gu Shaoting reading a document attentively.
She walked over quietly and stood beside him; he did not notice her at all.
Shu Pan gently leaned against his back and covered his eyes with her hands. “Guess who?”
Gu Shaoting already knew that it was her when she leaned against him. He would never mistake her unique fragrance.
“Lucy? Lily?” Gu Shaoting rattled off two names randomly.
Shu Pan was unhappy when she heard that. She punched his back. “When did you meet these women?”
Gu Shaoting pulled her onto his lap.
Shu Pan exclaimed in shock and immediately stood up. His legs hadn’t healed fully yet.
“Nonsense, your legs aren’t fully healed yet!” Shu Pan scolded. This man did not care about the severity of the matter.
“Don’t worry, I can still carry you.” Gu Shaoting smiled dotingly.
“Tell me the truth. When did you meet Lucy and Lily?” Shu Pan pretended to puff up her cheeks and asked.
“Are you jealous?” Gu Shaoting’s deep voice was magnetic and especially pleasant to the ear. “I only know that my heart contains only a woman named Shu Pan.”
“Disingenuous.” Shu Pan pouted. She knew that he was just joking with her.
“Did you have a good time today? Should you be going to bed with our little baby after all the merriment?” Gu Shaoting saw her smiling and crying all day. She looked exhausted now.
He could relate. Just like Shu Pan, he was also very happy that his good friend, He Ming, had finally gotten both career and marriage.
“Alright, I’ll go to bed first. You should sleep early too. You shouldn’t stay up late.” Shu Pan instructed and left.
Gu Shaoting looked back at her and smiled. She was such a worrier.
After Shu Pan left the study, she went to check on Joy.
The little girl was sleeping like a piglet in her princess bed. She looked so sweet. Shu Pan felt a sense of pride as she lowered her head and kissed Joy’s rosy cheek before she went back to the master bedroom.
She looked at the time after washing up. It was getting late, so she quickly went to bed.
She was probably really tired. She slept so soundly that she didn’t even know when Gu Shaoting came back to the room.
…
When she woke up the next day and opened her eyes, Shu Pan found Gu Shaoting’s arms wrapped tightly around her. She couldn’t get out of bed.
She knew that if she moved, she would wake him, so she gently patted his arm and said, “Let me get up. I promised Joy yesterday that I would send her to school today. I can’t break my promise…”
“Auntie Li is here. We can ask the driver to send them. You’re heavily pregnant now, so don’t stress yourself too much.”
Gu Shaoting’s lazy voice suggested that he would rather have Auntie Li send Joy to school.
Shu Pan didn’t know if it was her imagination, but she felt that Gu Shaoting had been especially clingy lately. He wouldn’t even let her get out of bed now.
“No, I have to get up eventually. I can’t go back on my promise to Joy. Besides, I should keep active.” Shu Pan pried his hand away very gently.
Gu Shaoting let her go eventually after planting a light kiss on the back of her neck.
