Chapter 669: His Explanation

His face lit up. Shu Pan was here. Great, he could escape now.

“Panpan, you’re here. Have you been waiting long?” Gu Shaoting walked up to Shu Pan.

Shu Pan’s face was cold. She didn’t know how to describe the way she felt now.

She waited outside for him for a long time but he didn’t appear. She was worried that he was drunk and found a room to sleep it off, so she searched the house room by room. She heard movements in this room and the door wasn’t closed, so she carefully pushed it open to check.

She didn’t expect to be met with the scene of Gu Shaoting and Charlene hugging each other… How she wished that what she saw was an illusion.

But it was the truth. She looked at Gu Shaoting, hoping to see the guilt on his face but there was none. She wasn’t sure if he was hiding his guilt when she saw an expression of relief on his face.

She didn’t answer Gu Shaoting’s question but looked at Charlene.

Charlene looked back at her provocatively, as if she was challenging her.

Shu Pan didn’t say a word and turned to leave.

Gu Shaoting was dumbfounded. What was going on? Why did Shu Pan leave without a word? Could she have developed some kind of misunderstanding after seeing him hug Charlene?

Gu Shaoting didn’t have time to figure it out. He quickly caught up with Shu Pan and grabbed her arm. “Panpan, did you have some kind of misunderstanding?”

“Misunderstanding? Do you think that was a misunderstanding? The two of you were in a tight embrace. I saw it with my own eyes. I couldn’t have wrongly accused you, right?” Shu Pan said coldly.

“Panpan, you’ve really misunderstood. She professed her love for me and I’ve solemnly rejected her. She’s just another junior to me and the person I love is you. As she’s going back to France soon, she asked me for a farewell hug. I didn’t think much of it and agreed. It didn’t mean anything else.” Gu Shaoting explained hurriedly.

“Don’t you know it’s better to keep a healthy distance between men and women? What would you think if you saw me hugging another man? Put yourself in my shoes.” Shu Pan said angrily. She couldn’t forgive him for this kind of ambiguity.

Gu Shaoting’s face darkened when he heard that. If he saw another man hug Shu Pan, he definitely wouldn’t let the man off.

“Panpan, I was wrong. I didn’t think too much about it. She’ll be back in France soon and I just wanted to say goodbye.” Gu Shaoting’s eyelids kept twitching today. He knew that something bad would happen.

“Today is Mom’s birthday. I don’t want to argue with you. Go and entertain the guests. Joy and I will go home first.” Shu Pan was fuming but she didn’t want to lash out at Gu Shaoting. She was still a lady. She couldn’t bring herself to curse in public like a shrew.

“Panpan…” Gu Shaoting called out dejectedly.

Inside the guest room, Charlene was gloating. Even if she didn’t get the response she had hoped for to her love confession from Brother Gu, she was very glad that she had caused trouble for Shu Pan.

Shu Pan caught them red handed. Charlene didn’t believe that she would have no ill feeling in her heart.

This was the outcome Charlene wanted. She couldn’t wait to keep her eyes peeled for what would happen next!

Shu Pan saw that the birthday banquet was almost over. She walked up to Song Can and let her know that she would be going home once Joy woke up from her nap.

She couldn’t stand the sight of Gu Shaoting at this moment.

Her worry-free days were short-lived. Deep down, she actually believed what Gu Shaoting said. Probably nothing happened and he had no feelings for Charlene. But a married man hugging a young girl goodbye in a guest room? Didn’t he think that his explanation was ridiculous? What would people think?
