Shu Pan couldn’t bear it when she saw Gu Shaoting sweating profusely. She said, “Shaoting, why don’t you let me do it?” Gu Shaoting turned his head and said, “No need. Dinner will be ready soon.”

Gu Shaoting then helped Shu Pan back to the sofa.

“Uncle Gu, I’m so hungry.” Joy pouted and rubbed her tummy.

“Soon.” Gu Shaoting regretted not ordering food delivery when he heard what his little darling said.

He thought cooking was easy. Shu Pan always did it so effortlessly. He only decided to cook to express his love.

But it looked like cooking required talent. Not everyone could do it well.

Shu Pan thoußht for a bit and said, “How about this? I’ll talk vou throuzh it.

Help me move a chair into the kitchen.” After tonight’s ordeal, her already hungry stomach was already growling.

“Alright.” Gu Shaoting nodded.

In the kitchen, Shu Pan instructed Gu Shaoting to add oil and wait for the oil to heat up before adding vegetables to stir-fry.

After half an hour, he finally finished cooking three dishes and a soup. They were all simple dishes, so it was relatively fast.

“Uncle Gu, your cooking is really delicious.” Joy was probably famished, so everything tasted like heaven to her.

But Gu Shaoting was greatly encouraged by her words.

He said happily, “Then Uncle Gu will cook more often for you.”

He then turned to Shu Pan and said, “Don’t underestimate me. I feel that I shouldn’t squander my talent for cooking.”

Shu Pan was speechless. This man barely cooked a few extremely ordinary dishes and he had become arrogant?

But she had to admit that God had given him a handsome face and a sharp mind.

This man had hardly cooked but he managed to whip up a few tasty dishes with a little guidance.

After dinner and a shower, Shu Pan and Joy lay in bed while Gu Shaoting worked in the study.

After bedtime story, Shu Pan and Joy started chatting.

“Joy, do you want to Imow who your father is?” Shu Pan asked.

Joy suddenly widened her eyes. “Is Daddy coming back from work?”

Shu Pan patted Joy’s head and said gently, “Well, actually, Daddy has always been with you. Uncle Gu is your father.”

“Really? That’s great, but why didn’t you tell me before?” Joy was a little unhappy.

“That’s because Uncle is playing a game with you. A game where Uncle turns into Daddy.” Shu Pan could only make up a random excuse.

“Then I’m going to find Daddy now.” Joy was so excited that she couldn’t sleep.

“It’s very late now. Daddy is still working. We’ll find him tomorrow morning, okay?” Shu Pan coaxed her.

However, Shu Pan also understood how Joy felt. After all, she had never known who her father was. She must be really happy to finally know.

Joy was a little disappointed when she heard that. Fine, she would find her father tomorrow.

She counted many sheep before she fell asleep.

Shu Pan also felt a myriad of feelings. It was because of her selfishness that her child was deprived of fatherly love.

In a daze, Shu Pan fell asleep.

She would let that man be surprised tomorrow morning.

Gu Shaoting was busy until after midnight. He stood up and stretched before he went to Shu Pan’s room. The mother and daughter were asleep with their heads touching.

He lowered his head and gave them each a kiss before he left the room reluctantly.

Gu Shaoting couldn’t really fall asleep that night. It seemed that he hadn’t been able to sleep well since Shu Pan and Joy came to live with him.

Every time he closed his eyes, the image of Shu Pan’s shy and lovely appearance would appear in his mind, and then he would need to take a cold shower.

It seemed like he ought to speed up his pursuit of his wife..
