Gu Shaoting hung up the phone and returned to the living room, noticing that Shu Pan had been yawning continuously.

He smiled helplessly, walked over, sat down beside her, and then, putting an arm around her shoulders, he said, “Feeling sleepy? Then go to the room to sleep. Don’t force yourself to stay here. I’ll go out soon with He Ming and will be back later.”

Gu Shaoting reported truthfully.

“Go ahead, it’s fine,” Shu Pan turned her head, looked at him, and suddenly noticed a faint white hair among his dark ones.

He really was overworking himself; both company and home affairs were wearing him out, no wonder he was getting white hairs.

However, Gu Shaoting still wanted to see that she took a nap before he left. He suddenly swept her off her feet, startling Shu Pan considerably, and she quickly clung to his neck, then playfully chided, “Put me down quickly, you scared me.”

But Gu Shaoting did not speak, and carried her directly back to the bedroom, then gently placed her on the bed. Following that, he also lay down beside her, cradling her in his arms.

“Weren’t you going out? If you don’t go now, you’ll be late,” Shu Pan urged him.

“It’s alright, it’s just an unimportant gathering, whether I go or not doesn’t matter,” Gu Shaoting said and then slightly squinted his eyes.

Shu Pan knew he wanted to wait until she fell asleep before leaving, so she quickly closed her eyes.

Probably because she was genuinely exhausted, she soon fell into a deep sleep.

Gu Shaoting heard the steady breathing of the person in his arms, and slowly made sure she was sleeping comfortably, then covered her with a thin blanket.

Then he tiptoed out of the room, and carefully closed the door behind him.

…

When Gu Shaoting arrived at the appointed clubhouse, He Ming and the others were already there.

Upon seeing Gu Shaoting, everyone automatically offered him the main seat.

He Ming then passed him a cigarette, “Brother Ting, you’ve been working hard recently.”

Gu Shaoting’s usually stern face softened into a rare smile, “As long as my cousin-in-law is fine, that’s enough for me.”

After the card game started, He Ming and Gu Shaoting discussed a plot of land that was going up for auction soon, with insider information suggesting that at least five companies were competing for it.

Gu Shaoting, his right hand pinching a cigarette and surrounded by smoke, finally spoke lightly, “Check out the details, our company is determined to get that land.”

Since other friends were present, they touched upon the topic briefly, without delving further into it.

But Gu Shaoting also had a rough idea in his mind.

He Ming nodded; he too had been driven to distraction over this plot of land, even clashing with Xiaomeng due to the frequent social engagements.

Now that Gu Shaoting was back to take charge at the company, he could finally rest easy.

….

Shu Pan slept until almost five o’clock before waking up. She looked outside and saw that it was still fairly bright, thankfully, as she still needed to pick up the children.

She immediately got out of bed and greeted Song Can, “Mom, I’m going to pick up the kids.”

“Oh, I was actually planning to go,” Song Can responded.

“It’s fine, I’ll go.” She hadn’t seen Joy and Xiaobao for a while and was missing them terribly.

“Where’s Shaoting?” Song Can looked around the house but didn’t see him.

“He had something to do and went out, but he should be back soon,” Shu Pan replied and then had the driver take her out.

On the way, since it was about rush hour, there was some traffic.

When she arrived at the school, it was just dismissal time.

She soon saw Joy holding Xiaobao’s hand at the school entrance.

Shu Pan felt a surge of happiness, as it had been a long time since she had seen them.
