Let's Divorce As Agreed

Chapter 554: Jealous

Shu Pan was really taken aback by the childishness of the man in front of her. Sometimes, dealing with him was really no better than dealing with Joy.

“Huh?” Shu Pan couldn’t react to his words for a moment, staring straight at him.

Gu Shaoting’s gaze grew heavier. “In your eyes, who’s more handsome, me or your idol?”

Shu Pan was truly dumbfounded, feeling like she was looking at an alien in Gu Shaoting’s eyes.

“Speak.” The man was getting annoyed, as if he cared a lot about this answer.

Shu Pan blinked, feeling somewhat amused but also touched. His question showed that he cared about his place in her heart.

“You.” Shu Pan was afraid he would do something unexpected again, so she quickly replied, her voice as soft as a mosquito’s buzz.

Gu Shaoting raised an eyebrow. “Louder.”

“It’s you, you annoying ghost.” Shu Pan felt both annoyed and amused, then she playfully slapped his hand.

Gu Shaoting grabbed her hand and then leaned down to place a kiss on it. Instantly, Shu Pan felt her heart racing.

Gu Shaoting seemed satisfied now. “Are you bored? Shall we go grab something to eat first? We’ll have to dance later.”

There was a long buffet table next to the hall, offering a variety of sumptuous dishes and many desserts that she loved.

“No, it’s not good. If I eat too much, I’ll be afraid of showing a belly bulge, and it won’t look good in the gown.” Shu Pan refused, fearing that people would laugh at her if they saw her later.

Gu Shaoting knew she cared about these things. “Don’t worry, you’re so slim, it won’t show no matter how much you eat.” Women were really hard to handle.

Ignoring her objections, he took her hand and led her to the food area, helping her pick out some of her favorite dishes.

“Here, finish it. Otherwise, you’ll have to deal with the consequences.” Gu Shaoting’s tone brooked no refusal.

“Alright.” Shu Pan took the utensils carefully. She didn’t want to waste anything, so she began to eat slowly.

Gu Shaoting found it amusing to see her looking so pitiful, as if eating something was like drinking poison.

The one-hour entertainment session had already ended, and after 8:30, it was time for the cocktail party and dance.

This hall was a multifunctional one, so it could easily be converted for different types of events.

Now it was everyone’s time to enjoy, and they were all excited.

“I can’t wait to see Mr. Gu’s opening dance,” two girls nearby were whispering to each other.

“But we’re not invited, are we?” one of them remarked.

“It’s a great honor just to be able to see it,” the other one sneered at her.

“True. Mr. Gu’s opening dance will surely be with his fiancée.”

Shu Pan had just finished her dessert, and honestly, it was quite delicious. It melted in her mouth, and she seemed to have forgotten about the worry of gaining weight in her gown.

Gu Shaoting had just told her to finish eating and then join him at the front for their opening dance.

Seeing everyone moving towards the front, Shu Pan knew it was almost time. She quickly put down her plate and turned to leave.

Suddenly, a waiter bumped into her. Shu Pan, feeling rushed and wearing high heels, lost her balance. She tried to grab onto the edge of a nearby table, but someone bumped into her from behind, exclaiming, “Oh, be careful!”

With the force of the collision, Shu Pan stumbled and fell. Not only that, but in the process, she also pulled the tablecloth, causing the juice and pastries on the table to spill onto her clothes, creating a mess.

Shu Pan was truly in a sorry state at that moment. She felt bewildered. Such a thing happening in this kind of setting left her feeling utterly helpless and on the verge of tears.
