Shu Pan slept until noon, stretching lazily as she saw Joy quietly playing with her toys beside her.
She reached out and touched Joy’s forehead, relieved to find that her fever was completely gone. A weight lifted off her heart.
“Are you hungry, Joy?” Shu Pan’s voice was hoarse as she just woke up.
“I had congee. Auntie gave it to me,” Joy said in her childish voice.
“That’s good. You can go out. Mommy is getting up,” Shu Pan said, planning to change her clothes.
After Joy left, Shu Pan’s phone suddenly rang.
“Congratulations, Madam,” came Xiaomeng’s voice from the other end of the line.
“Why are you calling me that?” Shu Pan said, a bit annoyed. She still felt a bit shy about this title.
“He Ming told me about it. I never thought Gu Shaoting could be so romantic. It’s really surprising, isn’t it?” Xiaomeng sounded somewhat sentimental.
“I guess he read it in a book. His emotional intelligence isn’t that high,” Shu Pan quipped.
“When are you free? Let’s go out and celebrate,” Xiaomeng suggested.
“Joy had a fever last night. She’s fine now, but I need to keep an eye on her. I’ll make plans with you when I’m free,” Shu Pan said as she got out of bed and walked to the window.
“Is she okay now? Children are more prone to fevers and colds in this weather,” Xiaomeng said sympathetically.
“I know, Xiaomeng. Have you checked yourself? Any issues?” Shu Pan brought up the topic again.
“They say everything’s fine, but I still can’t get pregnant,” Xiaomeng sighed heavily, feeling dejected.
“Don’t dwell on it too much. Just go with the flow,” Shu Pan said, feeling helpless about the situation.
“Yeah, since I can’t get pregnant, I don’t plan to marry He Ming either. His mom is probably already looking for a suitable match for him,” Xiaomeng said, resigned to her fate. Seeing He Ming avoiding her and answering his mom’s calls, she knew it wasn’t going to end well.
She knew He Ming cared about her, but he was an only child, and she didn’t want to make things difficult for him.
“Don’t think like that. It’s just that the timing isn’t right. Relax,” Shu Pan advised.
“Heh, I’ve come to terms with it,” Xiaomeng said, feeling like she’s always been unlucky. She thought meeting He Ming was a blessing from heaven, but who knew there would be such a hurdle?
“Xiaomeng…” Shu Pan sighed helplessly.
“Hey girl, do you have any time later? How about we go out for a few days and relax?” Ye Xiaomeng suddenly suggested.
“Just the two of us?” Shu Pan asked.
“Yeah, I feel like I’m suffocating lately and I need to get out and clear my head,” Ye Xiaomeng felt like she needed some space to herself, especially since she felt caught between He Ming and Mother He.
Shu Pan thought for a moment. Joy’s kindergarten would be on break soon, and she could send Joy to her dad and Auntie Lu’s place. It would be a good time for her to take a few days off.
“Sure, when Joy’s on break next week, I’ll send her to my dad’s place, and then we can go,” Shu Pan agreed.
“Is there any place you really want to go?” Ye Xiaomeng asked.
“Not really, you decide,” Shu Pan felt that Xiaomeng had a broader range of experiences than her.
“Okay, do you want to let Mr. Gu know first? Will he agree? Or will he worry that I may lose you?” Ye Xiaomeng chuckled.
“It’s fine, do I not have any freedom in my life? I’ll let him know once we’ve decided on a place,” Shu Pan didn’t think Gu Shaoting would object.
“Alright, I’ll plan out the route and then we’ll decide,” Ye Xiaomeng was eager to have something to keep her busy and distract her mind. Her current job was relatively idle, with fewer business trips, so she had a lot of time to overthink things.
Actually, He Ming had also suggested that she go somewhere, but this time she wanted to go on a trip with her bestie, leaving the men aside.
