Shu Pan deliberately lingered in the bathroom for nearly half an hour, until Gu Shaoting knocked on the door impatiently before she slowly emerged.
Lounging lazily against the headboard, Gu Shaoting had grown tired of reading in bed. Seeing her appear, his expression softened slightly, and he waved her over. “Come here.”
Shu Pan stood still, then touched her hair. “I haven’t dried my hair yet.”
“You washed your hair yesterday. Why are you washing it again tonight? You’ve been at home all day, not sweating or anything,” Gu Shaoting’s snow-like face furrowed in a cold expression. “Hurry up. Look at the dark circles under your eyes…”
Shu Pan’s face flushed with embarrassment, and she muttered softly, “Whose fault is it for these dark circles?”
Gu Shaoting smirked, then lowered his pillow.
Shu Pan covered her face in embarrassment. “It’s still early.”
Then she hurried to blow dry her hair.
She took her time drying her hair, but Gu Shaoting grew impatient with the noise of the hairdryer. He got out of bed and walked over to her on the wooden floor.
He suddenly unplugged the hairdryer, catching Shu Pan off guard. Before she could react, Gu Shaoting bent down and effortlessly lifted her into his arms, carrying her toward the bed.
Shu Pan pushed against his chest with both hands, then shyly said, “Put me down. My hair isn’t completely dry yet.”
“I plan to sleep at 11 o’clock. If you’re going on a trip for a few days, don’t you think two or three hours won’t be enough for these days’ benefits?” Gu Shaoting supported her head, his deep eyes reflecting Shu Pan’s pink cheeks.
“What…” Shu Pan stuttered, unable to imagine. “How is that possible?”
“You haven’t tried, so how do you know it’s impossible?” Gu Shaoting saw her nervousness and couldn’t help but smirk.
This little thing knew how to act first and report later now. In the past, she consulted him for even minor matters. Now she was planning to leave the country for a trip without telling him, only informing him at the last minute. It’s too much. If he didn’t teach her a lesson, how would she learn?
Gu Shaoting’s scorching fingertips traced her tender lips, making Shu Pan tense up. She blinked, feeling his warmth enveloping her. Her heart raced as she looked into Gu Shaoting’s eyes, which seemed both unfamiliar and familiar.
It had been proven through practice that a person’s ability was limitless.
The human potential was endless.
Shu Pan, tired and sleepy, shyly buried her face in the blanket.
Gu Shaoting embraced her from behind, holding her close.
Shu Pan drifted off to sleep in a daze.
The next day, it was Gu Shaoting who answered her phone, as he had to get up early for work.
The voice of Ye Xiaomeng came through the phone, “Girl, did you discuss with your husband last night? We still need to book plane tickets, and time is tight.”
Ye Xiaomeng’s voice was cheerful, and her use of “your husband” pleased Gu Shaoting. It was a good term of address, and Shu Pan’s understanding of this was commendable.
“Help her with the booking. Send me your bank account details, and I’ll transfer the money to you later,” Gu Shaoting’s cold tone echoed.
Ye Xiaomeng was caught off guard by the sudden male voice.
After a moment of shock, she hastily replied, “No rush, it won’t cost much…”
“I don’t like my wife spending other people’s money,” Gu Shaoting’s tone was irresistible.
“Alright.” With money involved, there was no reason to refuse.
“I covered the expenses for your trip this time. you book first-class tickets and stay in a five-star hotel. It is safer. Always remind Shu Pan not to turn off her phone. If I can’t find her, prepare to bear the consequences,” Gu Shaoting lectured Ye Xiaomeng extensively.
