Let's Divorce As Agreed

Chapter 14: Gossip Everywhere

"Pan... Pan," Shu Laide weakly called out to Shu Pan, extending his hand towards her.

"Dad, don\'t talk. Rest well. I\'ll take care of everything else." Shu Pan tightly held his hand, comforting him. Her once strong and reliable father was now lying in a hospital bed, looking so helpless. Shu Pan couldn\'t help but shed tears.

"Auntie Lu, please keep an eye on Dad. I\'ll go back to the company to handle some matters and come back in the afternoon." Shu Pan turned her head, pretending to check the time, not wanting her father to see the tears in her eyes. After instructing Lu Lifen, she went back to the company.

Shu Pan\'s company was located in the center of the business district on the 18th floor of Xinshang Building. It covered an area of over 500 square meters and had more than 30 employees. When she arrived at the company, her assistant, Lu Xiaoran, handed her a set of drawings to confirm.

Shu Pan briefly discussed the recent work arrangements with her. "I have some family matters to attend to. I will ask the boss for leave later. If you have any questions, you can talk to Designer He."

"Okay. By the way, Sister Shu, someone sent flowers for you yesterday. They\'re blue roses. I arranged them and put them on your desk. Go take a look." Lu Xiaoran\'s tone was filled with envy, as expected of a young girl.

"Could it be an admirer? I didn\'t see a card, but this person sent the Blue Beauty for the first time present. It shows good taste." Lu Xiaoran continued to chatter, and Shu Pan smiled. However, she was also puzzled. Who could have sent her flowers? It couldn\'t be Gu Shaoting. In their three years of marriage, she had never received flowers from him, and he wasn\'t the kind of person who was thoughtful and romantic. Moreover, their relationship was so strained now, so why would he send her flowers?

Suddenly, Shu Pan\'s attention was drawn to a newspaper on Lu Xiaoran\'s desk. It was an entertainment newspaper, which had high sales in Bin City.

The headline read, "Supermodel and Mysterious Gentleman Go on a Date and Enter the Palace of Love." The photo showed a glamorous woman, but the man\'s face was only captured in profile. The way she leaned on him and cuddled up to him indicated a close relationship.

Shu Pan immediately recognized the man as Gu Shaoting. Though it was only a side view, his deep features and straight nose were etched deep in her memory.

Shu Pan couldn\'t help but freeze, feeling a suffocating pressure on her chest. She found it difficult to breathe.

Following her gaze, Lu Xiaoran picked up the newspaper excitedly. "Wow, they make a perfect couple. Tong Fei said she came back this time for an important person. Could it be this man? He looks like a tall, handsome, and rich guy. Oh, the newspaper says it\'s the CEO of the Gu Group, Gu Shaoting. It\'s a perfect match, and Tong Fei has a good temperament too."

Shu Pan shifted her gaze back and calmly said, "Probably. Don\'t act like a fangirl. Remember to focus on your work."

Though Shu Pan maintained a calm facade, her heart was bleeding. She never expected that such a day would come. Because their marriage was kept low-key, people outside didn\'t know that Gu Shaoting was already married.

After delegating the work tasks, Shu Pan walked out of the company with a heavy heart. Xiaomeng was pregnant, and she didn\'t want to burden her with these matters. She planned to go home, pack her things, and move back to her parents\' house for a while.
