Let's Divorce As Agreed

Shu Pan saw that Ye Xiaomeng didn’t want to say more and didn’t push her. After all, everyone had their secrets.

“That’s good.” Shu Pan picked up her chopsticks and started to eat.

To avoid dwelling on the matter, Ye Xiaomeng changed the subject, “Girl, when are you going to bring Joy home?”

“When school starts.” Shu Pan felt that it wasn’t wise to bring Joy home now since she was so busy though she missed her very much.

Ye Xiaomeng nodded. After dinner, Shu Pan called for the bill.

Ye Xiaomeng was one step ahead of her and handed her money to the waiter. She knew her friend’s financial situation.

Shu Pan carried the paper bag back to Shuimu Qinghua. When she opened the door, the house was quiet. She looked at the dining table and saw that the food was still there, untouched.

Shu Pan figured that Gu Shaoting hadn’t come home yet.

She put her bag on the sofa and changed into slippers. She then went back to her bedroom to put down her things. As she was too tired, she lay on the bed to rest.

When she woke up, she looked out the window and saw that it was dusk. She walked out of her bedroom and saw a very exquisite box with a beautiful bow on the coffee table.

Shu Pan frowned. When did the box get here? She didn’t see it before, so it must be Gu Shaoting who brought it back, probably a gift for someone.

She shrugged and looked away.

Suddenly, she heard her phone ring. Shu Pan walked to the sofa, picked up her phone, and looked at the caller ID. Her eyes instantly turned warm as she smiled.

She put the phone to her ear. “Sweetie, what’s up? Have you had dinner?” Shu Pan’s voice was soft and gentle, like she was afraid of scaring the caller.

“Mom, Joy misses you so much and Joy has already din-din.” The caller’s voice was childish and adorable.

“That’s awesome! Sweetie, be a good girl and listen to Grandpa and Grandma, okay? Mom will be there to pick you up soon.” Shu Pan promised. She really missed her daughter.

“Alright, I’ll be a good girl.” Joy nodded.

“Okay, sweetie. Bye now.” Shu Pan then hung up.

Gu Shaoting walked in just as Shu Pan hung up. He heard Shu Pan talking on the phone with someone when he was outside. Did she call the other party sweetie?

Who could be her sweetie? When he walked in and saw her loving face, he figured that the caller must be someone important to her.

He felt jealous but didn’t show it. He walked straight to the sofa, looked at the gift box on the table and said nonchalantly, “That’s for you. I heard from the ladies in my office that women like that.”

The other day at the office, he heard the female employees in the general manager’s office whisper to each other about this beauty elixir that all women dreamed about. It was a series of skincare products for which women were willing to forgo food and drink. He immediately asked one of his staff to get him a set.

He brought the gift home yesterday and put it on the coffee table, thinking that she would get the hint. After all, the two of them lived together and he couldn’t be the one using it. However, the gift box just sat there. He thought that she would be ecstatic when she saw it, but it seemed that she couldn’t be bothered at all. He felt a little unappreciated.

When Shu Pan heard Gu Shaoting say that it was a gift for her, she was stunned and couldn’t believe it.

She looked at the gift box again, more carefully this time. She saw that the square box was put in an exquisite bag printed with pictures of skincare products..
