Gu Shaoting was quite relieved when he heard Gu Huanhuan postpone her concert invitation to Shu Pan; he felt that Huanhuan had finally made the right decision. However, Shu Pan’s disappointed expression made him a little angry. Wasn’t he her dreamboat?
Since when did Shu Pan have another dreamboat?
“Don’t worry, cousin-in-law. I’m in the entertainment industry and have first-hand information on these things. I’ll let you know immediately when the next opportunity arises.” Gu Huanhuan had a feeling that Gu Shaoting would banish her for leading Shu Pan astray.
“Okay then.” Shu Pan also felt that she mustn’t be willful. She had to put her baby first.
Gu Huanhuan saw Gu Shaoting’s gloomy face and quickly found an excuse to leave.
That night when they were getting ready for bed, Gu Shaoting couldn’t help but ask Shu Pan, “Who is your dreamboat?”
This question had been on his mind for a long time.
“He’s a celebrity. He sings very well and is very talented.” Shu Pan felt that even if she told Gu Shaoting her idol’s name, he wouldn’t know who it was.
“Honey, didn’t you say that I’m the most handsome and that you love me the most? Am I not your dreamboat?” Gu Shaoting said a little aggrievedly.
No man would like his wife to have another man in her heart, even if it was a celebrity.
“I did but there’s no conflict, right? Don’t be childish. I’m going to sleep now.” Shu Pan turned away from Gu Shaoting and fell asleep.
Gu Shaoting stared at her back and couldn’t sleep all night.
The next day, Shu Pan went to work after breakfast as usual. Gu Shaoting wanted her to rest a few more days at home, but she was too bored.
Besides, work would distract her so she wouldn’t feel so sick.
Shu Pan didn’t know if Gu Shaoting had left instructions with her boss. When she came into office, she was just asked to collate some information and was very free.
At noon, Gu Shaoting called Shu Pan’s office line and asked her to see him upstairs.
Shu Pan saw that it was almost lunchtime and many of her colleagues had left for lunch before she pressed the elevator button to go upstairs.
Shu Pan had just walked into Gu Shaoting’s office when he suddenly hugged her and planted a kiss on her forehead.
“Shaoting, what’s wrong?” Shu Pan was a little shocked by his behavior. Everything seemed fine this morning when they left the house.
Gu Shaoting replied, “Panpan, something happened at one of our overseas offices. I have to go there and deal with the problem. I’ll be back in a week at the earliest.”
Shu Pan was a little flustered when she heard that Gu Shaoting was going on a business trip again. She couldn’t bear to part with him during this period. She wished that Gu Shaoting could be by her side throughout her pregnancy. But on second thought, she figured that she shouldn’t be so demanding since she was still in her first trimester.
In fact, Gu Shaoting had been spending time with her at home whenever he wasn’t busy since he learned about her pregnancy. He wouldn’t choose to go away during this period if it wasn’t for something important.
“Alright, I’ll take good care of myself. Is it a serious problem?” Shu Pan asked at the sight of his solemn expression.
“Don’t worry, I’ll handle it.” Gu Shaoting pulled her onto the sofa.
This overseas office had been doing well, but he received an emergency call this morning that the person in charge had lost their operating budget for the year. The office was in a complete mess now and he had to step in.
The overseas offices had always been an important part of Gu Group. This incident would probably affect Gu Shaoting’s partnership with Mr. John. He still wasn’t sure of the consequences.
“Then take good care of yourself when you are out there. Joy and I will be waiting for you to come home. When is your flight?” For some strange reason, Shu Pan felt a little uneasy, but she couldn’t put her finger on it.
She could only hope that it was her imagination. She had become much more sensitive since her pregnancy and tended to think wild thoughts.
