Shu Pan felt uneasy seeing Ye Xiaomeng’s low spirits, but she felt helpless. All she could do was silently pray for better days for her friend.

Xiaomeng had already endured so much hardship to find her current happiness; it would be cruel to take it away now.

After exchanging a few words, the heavy conversation dampened their spirits, and they soon parted ways after their shopping trip.

When Shu Pan returned home and found that neither Gu Shaoting nor Joy had returned yet, she was surprised. Checking the time, she decided to call Gu Shaoting. The phone rang several times before he finally answered, on the verge of being automatically disconnected.

“Shaoting, why haven’t you and Joy come back yet? Have you eaten?” Shu Pan asked with concern.

“We… have something to take care of. We’ll be back later,” Gu Shaoting replied somewhat evasively, hinting at something he couldn’t disclose to Shu Pan.

“Okay, then. I’ll take a nap. Call me when you’re back,” Gu Shaoting didn’t want to elaborate, and Shu Pan didn’t press further. Everyone had their own little secrets.

Gu Shaoting was unsure where to start. While they were at the golf course, he received a call from Song Can, who had just returned from overseas and hadn’t seen him in a long time. She asked him to come home, bringing Joy along as well.

Joy was her granddaughter, but she had never called Song Can “grandma” before.

Initially, Gu Shaoting wanted to refuse because he hadn’t discussed it with Shu Pan. But then he realized that since he was about to propose to Shu Pan, he needed to inform Song Can about it as well.

So he took Joy back to the Gu family mansion.

“Daddy, whose house is this?” Joy asked curiously, not recalling ever being here before.

“This is Daddy’s house, and it’s also Joy’s house. But right now, Grandma lives here,” Gu Shaoting patiently explained.

“Grandma?” Joy was unfamiliar with the term.

“Yes, it’s Daddy’s mom. You call her Grandma, okay?” Gu Shaoting clarified.

Joy nodded, seeming to understand.

They had barely reached the doorstep when Song Can opened the door, having already heard their voices from inside.

“Oh my_ who’s thig little darling?”

Joy felt a bit shy. She glanced at Gu Shaoting, who gave her an encouraging look, and then softly said, “Grandma.”

“Good girl, come on in. Grandma bought some fresh fruits,” Song Can said, pulling Joy inside.

Gu Shaoting followed behind, feeling like a transparent person.

“Mom, I want to talk to you about something,” Gu Shaoting said after letting Joy go play in the room.

“What is it?” Song Can responded absentmindedly. After all, now that her son was grown up and had his own decisions, informing her of his decisions was just a formality. He didn’t really care about her opinion.

“I’m going to marry Shu Pan soon,” Gu Shaoting announced solemnly.

“What?” Song Can’s brow furrowed upon hearing this sudden news.

“Just as you heard. I hope you’ll attend our wedding and bless us,” Gu Shaoting said, expecting her opposition.

“Shaoting, haven’t you reconsidered? You’ve already been married once, and it ended in divorce. It proves that you’re not suitable for each other. You have a child together, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you have to get married again,” Song Can advised earnestly.

If he remarried Shu Pan, she would likely become the subject of ridicule in high society.

All of her friends’ daughters-in-law were either wealthy or talented. Unlike Shu Pan, who was so ordinary and couldn’t assist Shaoting in any meaningful way..
