Let's Divorce As Agreed

“Passable is good enough. I’ll work harder to get full marks next time.” Gu Shaoting cracked a naughty smile.

Shu Pan literally pushed him this time. “Go now.”

Only then did Gu Shaoting leave to wash up. Shu Pan stood by the stove as she stirred the porridge with a ladle, her expression like a shy bride’s.

When Gu Shaoting was done, Shu Pan had already brought the porridge to the dining table. She opened the lid and a burst of fragrance assailed his nose. It must taste so good.

Since there were only two of them, Shu Pan didn’t cook too much. She cooked just enough for two people.

Shu Pan scooped out two bowls of porridge and placed them on the table. She then went to the bedroom and changed into a dress.

Of course, the dress was bought just yesterday. It was a floral chiffon dress that looked elegant and light on her.

When Shu Pan walked out again, Gu Shaoting was a little stunned.

Shu Pan saw his expression and felt extremely proud.

Mark Twain was right. “Clothes make the man.”

But Shu Pan didn’t show any emotion on her face. She pulled out a chair opposite him, sat down and started to eat her porridge.

Gu Shaoting was still lost in thought until Shu Pan looked up at him and said, “Hurry up and eat. We should go home as soon as possible.”

“There’s no hurry. I just called home. Joy and Xiaobao are both good.” Gu Shaoting said slowly.

“Really?” Shu Pan was relieved to hear that.

“Darling, am I not attractive anymore? It wasn’t easy for us to get some alone time. Why do you keep thinking about other things?” Gu Shaoting wanted to have this kind of couple time regularly.

Shu Pan ignored him and continued to eat her porridge.

The two of them stayed until almost noon before leaving. The moment Shu Pan got home, she picked up the chubby Xiaobao who looked more and more like Gu Shaoting.

“Cutie pie, did you miss Mommy?” Shu Pan hugged him close and kissed him repeatedly.

Shu Pan suddenly realized that it wasn’t the baby who couldn’t leave her. It was she who couldn’t leave the baby. She missed him so much after just one night away. She also felt guilty at the same time that she went out with Gu Shaoting and left Xiaobao at home.

When Xiaobao saw Shu Pan, he probably felt wronged that his mother had only come home now and started wailing.

Shu Pan held and coaxed him. After a while, Xiaobao broke into a smile.

Kids were smart. They knew how crying could get adults’ attention.

However, it had been a fruitful night. Since their time alone in their old apartment, Gu Shaoting and Shu Pan had resumed their sex life.

…

Since Shu Pan wasn’t working, she spent most of her time at home and occasionally asked Xiaomeng out to shop.

Her life was quite fulfilling.

In the blink of an eye, Xiaobao could already turn over, sit, and crawl. This little fellow was quite a handful. For some reason, he didn’t stick to Shu Pan as much as he got older; he started to cling to his father.

Every time Gu Shaoting was about to leave the house, Xiaobao would get teary, cry, and ask to be picked up. Gu Shaoting couldn’t bear to leave him at first and got delayed by at least half an hour each time.

When the little guy started to use a baby walker, he would zoom around like the wind and the bell on his walker could be heard from afar.

But Xiaobao was also very lovable. He was fair and chubby, and he had a small temper. He probably inherited his temper from his father because when he lost it, it was very tiring to calm him down.

However, Shu Pan accepted these little inconveniences without complaint. Watching Xiaobao grow up day by day made her feel glad yet reluctant.
