Let's Divorce As Agreed

Chapter 540: Happy

“What’s wrong? Let’s go in,” Gu Shaoting asked, puzzled by her hesitation.

“I… I’m a bit scared,” Shu Pan nervously admitted, clutching onto his sleeve.

“Come on,” Gu Shaoting said helplessly, taking her hand.

Grandpa Gu was currently recuperating at home. Recently, he had another bout of heart trouble. Although it turned out to be a false alarm, the family was still concerned. They had hired a caregiver and had a doctor constantly monitoring him to ensure his well-being.

They entered the house, and Second Uncle happened to be at home. After exchanging greetings, Second Uncle led them to Grandpa’s room.

A doctor in a white coat was examining Grandpa.

Shu Pan felt even more nervous. Gu Shaoting, noticing her anxiety, naturally reached out and held her hand.

Shu Pan’s heart skipped a beat. His hand was large and warm. She looked up at him and could only see his handsome profile.

Pushing open the door, they saw Grandpa resting with his eyes closed. Hearing the door open, he didn’t open his eyes but asked, “What’s going on?”

“Dad, Shaoting is here to see you,” Second Uncle teased, deliberately drawing out the suspense.

“Humph, he comes every day. What’s there to see? Tell him to use his time to find me a daughter-in-law and give me a great-grandchild to hold,” Grandpa Gu said bluntly, full of vitality despite his age.

Everyone chuckled at his words, understanding that his scolding was actually a good sign. It’s just that his words were both amusing and touching.

“Grandpa, we’ve come to see you,” Gu Shaoting said, leading Shu Pan and Joy to approach the bedside with quiet steps.

Seeing Grandpa’s current condition, Shu Pan almost burst into tears.

“Grandpa…”

Her voice choked with emotion.

At the sound of a familiar voice, Grandpa suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the door.

His gaze was still sharp, and with one glance, he spotted Shu Pan standing at the entrance.

“Grandpa…” Shu Pan stepped forward, holding his hand, “I’m sorry for coming to see you so late.”

“Panpan, you’ve worked hard these past few years…” Grandpa’s heart was still as clear as a mirror.

“Grandpa, it’s not hard…” Shu Pan’s eyes welled up with tears.

“This… who is this?” Grandpa suddenly noticed Joy standing beside them.

Because of the emotional atmosphere, Joy dared not speak and remained quietly standing to the side.

“Come, Joy, call him Great Grandpa,” Shu Pan beckoned to Joy.

Joy was still a bit shy, but she timidly came to Shu Pan’s side.

“Grandpa, Joy is mine and Shaoting’s daughter, your great-granddaughter,” Shu Pan introduced softly.

“What? Your daughter… so you were already…” Grandpa Gu couldn’t continue, feeling a mix of emotions.

That Shaoting, he was really over the line, letting his wife and daughter suffer so much.

“Yes, I was pregnant with Joy back then. But that’s all in the past now, Grandpa. We’re very happy now, so please don’t worry about it,” Shu Pan hurriedly interjected, fearing that Grandpa would blame Gu Shaoting, so she quickly reassured him.

“Panpan, you’ve suffered so much, both you and Joy. Don’t defend that rascal. I know what he’s like,” Grandpa sighed heavily.

Shaoting is indeed blessed, so now he can be with Shu Pan again.

“Great Grandpa…” Joy timely called out to Grandpa.

Grandpa Gu was moved, saying, “What a good child.”

His voice was trembling.
