Shu Pan picked up Joy from kindergarten and on their way home, Joy excitedly shared her day at school, but Shu Pan seemed somewhat distracted. She wanted to ask Joy if she wanted to see her dad. If she could only choose one person, would it be her dad or her mom? But she couldn’t bring herself to ask.

When they got back home, Wen Chi called Shu Pan. “Pan, you didn’t answer my call earlier. Is everything okay?”

Shu Pan’s voice was subdued as she replied, “Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t hear it. What’s up?” Wen Chi could tell something was wrong.

“Don’t say it’s nothing. I can hear it in your voice,” Wen Chi said, sensing Shu

Pan’s unease.

After a moment of hesitation, Shu Pan finally revealed the truth to Wen Chi, “Joy’s dad knows about her now, and he wants custody of Joy.”

“What gives him the right? Just because he contributed a sperm? How can he have the audacity to say such things?” Wen Chi couldn’t believe the audacity of Joy’s father.

“He might take legal action to fight for custody, Chi, what should I do?” Shu Pan felt helpless.

“Pan, why don’t we get married? That way, we can give Joy a complete family, and even if it goes to court, the judge might be on your side. I’ll treat Joy as my own,” Wen Chi suggested, and his deepest wish was to marry Shu Pan.

“Don’t talk nonsense. Auntie hasn’t fully accepted our relationship yet, and if something like this happens, it will be even harder for her to understand,” Shu

Pan rejected the idea.

“I’ll try to persuade my mom and give her some time.”

“Okay, Chi. Thank you.”

One evening, Gu Shaoting picked up Tong Fei for dinner. Tong Fei was thrilled because Gu Shaoting hadn’t asked her out for a long time.

She had just finished a magazine shoot, and Gu Shaoting was already waiting for her in the car. As soon as she settled in, the car was already in motion.

During the meal, Gu Shaoting ordered a variety of dishes. “Take a look and see what you like.”

“Enough, you know my stomach is tiny,” Tong Fei stopped him.

“Tong Fei, Shu Pan and I have a three-year-old daughter named Joy. I want custody of her,” Gu Shaoting dropped the bombshell on Tong Fei without warning.

“What? A child?” Tong Fei asked in astonishment.

“You have a daughter?” Tong Fei repeated, finding it hard to accept.

“Shaoting, if you like kids, we can have our own after we get married. Let Shu Pan raise this child, can’t we?” Tong Fei didn’t think Gu Shaoting cared much for children.

“That’s my daughter, and I want to give her the best. If we get married, I hope you’ll treat her as your own,” Gu Shaoting told Tong Fei.

Tong Fei still couldn’t believe what she was hearing and struggled to come to terms with the news.

She had to wonder about Shu Pan’s motives. Why did she secretly have a child, and why did Gu Shaoting only discover it now? Did she want to reunite her family?

Their relationship with Gu Shaoting was already on shaky ground, and this new revelation only added to the instability.

However, she couldn’t show her true feelings. She forced a smile and nodded politely, but deep down, she was seething with anger.

Why did this unexpected turn of events happen when she thought she had found happiness?

She thought, “Shu Pan, you won’t make me suffer without consequences. Just you wait.”

Gu Shaoting observed Tong Fei’s expression and knew that she was trying to hide her true feelings. His expression turned serious..
