The next day, Gu Shaoting thought for a moment and realized that there wasn’t anything urgent to attend to. Recalling the sarcastic remarks from his mother, Song Can, during their phone call yesterday, he figured her mood might not be good. So, Gu Shaoting decided to go and visit her today.

It was Saturday, and he had initially planned to visit his daughter, Joy, but he decided against it. He would go see his precious daughter tomorrow instead.

Leaving around 11 in the morning, Gu Shaoting drove back to the Gu family mansion.

As he parked the car and walked into the courtyard, he suddenly heard laughter coming from inside the house, and it sounded somewhat familiar.

Furrowing his brows, he quickened his pace and opened the front door.

Upon entering, the two people in the room seemed taken aback and stopped talking abruptly, both staring straight at him.

Gu Shaoting looked up and his brows furrowed even more.

“What are you doing in my house?”

“Big Brother Gu, what are you doing here?”

Two voices spoke almost simultaneously, and Gu Shaoting was stunned to see Charlene in his house. How did she find her way here?

He had politely declined her visit when he mentioned visiting his mother. How did she still manage to come? What was her intention? It was truly perplexing.

“Do you two know each other?” Song Can asked, looking puzzled.

“I’m currently interning at Big Brother Gu’s company,” Charlene chuckled lightly, then explained.

“Oh, I see. This is my son,” Song Can introduced.

“It’s such a small world. I bumped into Auntie while shopping, and then I found out Auntie is Big Brother Gu’s mother. Fate works in mysterious ways, doesn’t it?” Charlene remarked as if she had just discovered their mother-son relationship.

Truly, Charlene’s expression revealed no flaws whatsoever. If she were an actress, she would surely win an award.

Gu Shaoting furrowed his brows, remained silent, and then sat down.

“You’re such a busy person, why did you come back?” Song Can said, sounding irritated. With an outsider present, she didn’t want to be embarrassed.

“I came back to see you. I’ve been quite busy lately,” Gu Shaoting replied nonchalantly, disregarding her tone.

“Auntie, Big Brother Gu is indeed very busy. There are many matters in the corporation, and he’s the CEO, so he has a lot on his plate,” Charlene interjected, eager to explain.

“Sigh, he’s my son. Do I not know what he’s like?” Song Can glared at Gu Shaoting. Fortunately, he hadn’t brought that woman home to make trouble for her.

Charlene smiled shyly, feeling she may have overstepped.

She stole a glance at Gu Shaoting, who remained expressionless.

Feeling uneasy, she wondered if Gu Shaoting thought she was meddling too much or had some ulterior motive.

Song Can seemed to sense Charlene’s discomfort and reassured her, “Charlene, don’t be so tense. You’re at Auntie’s home now, not at the company. You don’t have to be so nervous.”

Song Can thought Charlene was uncomfortable because she saw her superior, so she tried to reassure her.

“Okay, thank you, Auntie,” Charlene said softly, smiling gently.

What a considerate girl. Looking back, who could compare to Shu Pan?

Seeing Gu Shaoting’s demeanor, Song Can couldn’t help but feel he was bewitched.

“Dinner’s ready,” Song Can invited Charlene to eat.

Charlene had mentioned her parents weren’t around, and she hadn’t had home-cooked meals in a long time, so she invited her over.

“Okay, Big Brother Gu, let’s eat,” Charlene reminded when Song Can didn’t call him.

“Ignore him, just sit down,” Song Can decided to treat Gu Shaoting as if he were invisible.

Gu Shaoting didn’t mind and casually sat down, picking up his chopsticks.

At the dinner table, Song Can and Charlene chatted and laughed, while Gu Shaoting ate without paying much attention.
