After Shu Pan settled down with his father and Aunt Lu, he thought about what the doctor said to take a good rest, so he planned to stay at home during this period.
At noon, Gu Shaoting's secretary called and asked Shu Pan to prepare. In the evening, Gu Shaoting went back to Gu's house with her to visit his grandfather.
Shu Pan then remembered that it had been a long time since he had gone back to Guzhai to visit his grandfather. He had met his mother-in-law last time at a wedding, but since they didn't live together, they rarely met. Moreover, her mother-in-law also had her own life circle, playing mahjong with her rich wife.
Even when he was shopping, etc., he paid very little attention to her, and Shu Pan was happy to see this.
The only person in the Gu family that worries Shu Pan is Mr. Gu. Thinking that he has been busy recently and has indeed not been back for a long time, it is very unfilial.
Quickly tidy up, when Gu Shaoting came to pick her up in the afternoon, Shu Pan inadvertently glanced at the side of Gu Shaoting's face with the corner of his eye, and the man's expression became much colder.
Shu Pan's mouth seemed to be blocked by ice, and the thought of whether to say hello that he was still hesitating about suddenly disappeared.
Gu Shaoting drove the car and did not take the initiative to talk to her. He also took out cigarettes and smoked them one by one during his free time. Except for the occasional sound of the lighter, there was no other movement in the car.
Shu Pan smelled the smell of smoke, which hit her nostrils one after another. She felt her chest was tight and she felt like vomiting. But she suppressed it, not wanting to offend Gu Shaoting.
Finally, we arrived at the courtyard of the Gu family's old house. The Gu family's old house was a single-family villa. Usually Mr. Gu, Gu Shaoting's mother Song Can, and Wang Ma were there. Occasionally, Gu Shaoting's second uncle and his family would come back to stay for a while.
When Gu Shaoting turned off the car, he put out his cigarette, then looked at Shu Pan, opened the door without saying a word, and got out of the car first.
Gu Shaoting stood by the car, not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he waited for Shu Pan to get out of the car before taking steps and walking towards the door with her.
When he was approaching the house, Gu Shaoting suddenly reached out and grabbed Shu Pan's hand. His move came without any warning. Shu Pan stiffened and instinctively wanted to withdraw his hand. Gu Shaoting seemed to be aware of it and dodged.
While holding her hand tighter and harder, he raised his other hand to ring the doorbell.
Unable to break free, Shu Pan quietly raised his eyelids and looked at Gu Shaoting who was ringing the doorbell. His palms were warm, but his face seemed to be frozen, and Shu Pan did not dare to say a word.
Before she could react, the door was opened.
It was Wang Ma who opened the door. She was very happy when she saw Gu Shaoting and Shu Pan. She warmly welcomed them into the house and got slippers for them. Then she ran upstairs and informed Mr. Gu: "Master,
The young master and young mistress have arrived."
Gu Shaoting and Shu Pan finished changing their shoes and just entered the living room when they saw Mr. Gu walking down the stairs.
Gu Shaoting suddenly turned sideways, lowered his head and moved his lower lip towards Shu Pan's ear.
To others, it seemed like Gu Shaoting and Shu Pan were whispering, but as long as Shu Pan knew, he said nothing.
Just as he came closer, his breath sprayed on her neck, shallow and warm, making her heart beat faster inexplicably, and her whole body seemed nervous.
Shu Pan looked at him and felt that the air around her was very thin. She felt that her breathing was a little fast. She despised herself even more in her heart. Why did she panic when she met him? How could she not see the situation between the two of them now?
