“Okay, Uncle will come back as soon as he’s done.” Gu Shaoting made a pinky swear with Joy.

After Gu Shaoting left, Shu Pan took Joy’s temperature again. Fortunately, her fever was almost gone.

Shu Pan’s heart ached as she looked at her daughter’s haggard and pale little face.

She didn’t know if she had made a mistake because when Joy was at her weakest, she called out “Daddy”.

To her, “Daddy” was a very unfamiliar but sacred term.

Shu Pan looked at Joy’s bright and innocent eyes and felt a little confused.

“Joy, do you miss Daddy?”

“Yes, Daddy can piggyback me on his shoulders so I’m very high up. Doesn’t every child have a daddy? Why isn’t Joy’s Daddy home yet?”

Joy had a disappointed look on her face.

Shu Pan’s eyes reddened. She almost blurted out that her daddy was right in front of her.

“Your Daddy is just busy with work. He also loves Joy very much.” Shu Pan used her usual perfunctory reason on Joy again.

She didn’t know how long this reason would last.

“Mommy, why can’t Uncle Gu be my Daddy?” Joy asked innocently.

“Why do you want Uncle Gu to be your Daddy?” Shu Pan asked. She had no idea that Joy would think that after just a month.

“I think Uncle Gu feels like Daddy. He’s also handsome. He picks me up from school and buy me lots of fun things.” Joy counted with her fingers as she gave her reasons.

Shu Pan didn’t expect Joy to switch sides to Gu Shaoting’s after just a month.

“Mommy got it.” Shu Pan replied softly.

Gu Shaoting went into office with a cold face. Secretary Zhang immediately summoned everyone for the senior management meeting.

Although he didn’t know what happened, he still shunned Gu Shaoting when he saw his face.

In the meeting room, all the senior managers sat upright and waited for the CEO to speak.

Everyone was on tenterhooks, worried that they would be scolded, when they saw the CEO’s dark face.

Fortunately, the meeting ended in less than an hour.

Back in his office, Gu Shaoting stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows again.

He couldn’t figure out why Shu Pan didn’t want to see him when others clamor for an opening in his calendar to meet the respectable head of Gu Corporation.

For the first time in his life, he felt neglected, and it was a very unpleasant feeling.

Secretary Zhang was in his room to pick up some documents when Gu Shaoting called out, “Secretary Zhang, if a woman says you’re an a* *hole, how will you try to please her and make her change her mind about you?” Secretary Zhang looked at Gu Shaoting strangely.

“It’s not me. It’s my friend. I’m just asking.” Gu Shaoting was not a very good liar.

Secretary Zhang guessed that his boss was having problems with Shu Pan, so he answered carefully, “I see. Sometimes women can be unreasonable.” Gu Shaoting nodded in agreement as if he had met a soulmate.

Secretary Zhang then said, “However, women are soft-hearted creatures. She’ll be fine if you coax her a little.”

Hearing Secretary Zhang’s answer, Gu Shaoting tried to recall. He had indeed never spent any effort to coax a woman in his life. He didn’t know how to coax a woman at all.

Secretary Zhang silently tried to figure out what his boss was thinking and only spoke when the time was right..
