Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

When Shu Pan went back to the office on Monday, things got chaotic again. There were many things to do on scary Mondays.

Tang Wei came to her desk and asked, “How’s the proposal to Su Corporation going? Any news yet?”

“I haven’t heard anything yet, but the director says that there are other companies competing for the same contract.” Shu Pan was a little worried. After all, competition was keen nowadays and they might not win the contract.

“I’m rooting for us. I think we’ll get it. We probably have some sense after meeting their CEO the other day, right?” Tang Wei made a cheering gesture.

“Okay, I’ll ask the director again later.” Shu Pan nodded. But at the thought of Su Yuan, she couldn’t help but frown.

A busy day passed. When it was almost knock-off time, Shu Pan’s phone rang. She thought it was Gu Shaoting because he usually called at this time. She looked at the caller ID. It was an unfamiliar Il-digit number. She searched her memory but couldn’t recognize the number.

She pressed the answer button. “Pan, are you off work yet?”

The caller’s voice was very distinctive. It was as light as a breeze. It was Su

Yuan’s voice.

“Just about to. I was planning to go home. ” Shu Pan answered honestly.

“Then wait a little while for me. I’ll pick you up now. Let’s have dinner and catch up, okay?” Even though Su Yuan sounded like he was consulting Shu Pan, there was a hint of mandate in his voice.

“But I don’t have time today. I have to pick my daughter up.” Shu Pan said uncomfortably. She also wanted to remind Su Yuan that she had a daughter and he shouldn’t have any thoughts about her.

“In that case, I’ll pick you up and then pick her up for dinner together, okay?” Su Yuan obviously didn’t understand the meaning behind her words, or maybe he didn’t care at all.

Shu Pan had no choice but to say, “Alright then, I’ll wait for you.” She then gave Su Yuan her office address.

After hanging up, Shu Pan called Gu Shaoting because picking Joy up after school seemed like Gu Shaoting’s favorite thing to do nowadays.

Gu Shaoting was ecstatic when he saw Shu Pan’s caller ID, like she had never called him before.

“Panpan, what’s wrong?” Gu Shaoting was both nervous and happy when he answered the call. He was worried that Shu Pan would say something heart-wrenching again.

“Are you free to pick Joy up tonight?” Shu Pan asked directly.

“Yes, I was planning to pick you up after I pick her up. I’m almost at her kindergarten.” Gu Shaoting said.

Picking up the mother and daughter had become the highlight of his day now. He enjoyed such moments because spending time with them would bring him closer to Shu Pan. Therefore, no matter how busy he was, he would squeeze out time.

“Oh, if you are picking Joy up, please take her home with you first. I’ll pick her up from your place later. I’m having dinner with a friend tonight, so I might be late.” Shu Pan said.

Gu Shaoting was more than happy to take Joy home with him, but he got very nervous when he heard that she was having dinner with a friend.

Was she having dinner with a male or female friend? He only knew Shu Pan’s best friend, Ye Xiaomeng. Her social circle was simple and he had never heard of her other friends.

“Oh, I see. Which friend? So sudden.” Gu Shaoting pretended to ask casually. “It’s an old friend I haven’t seen in a long time. Okay, I have to go now. I’ll have to trouble you tonight. I’ll pick her up after dinner. Are you still staying at Shuimu Qinghua?” Shu Pan didn’t want to say more. After all, these weren’t important things and had nothing to do with him. He wouldn’t know her friend even if she told him..
