Chapter 174: Wen chi Was Back
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Gu Shaoting pressed his temples before speaking, “Business trip?”
“Yeah, can’t someone else go on my behalf? I can’t remember anything,” Gu Shaoting inquired.
“It’s okay, I will go with you. The person we’re dealing with is a major business tycoon, and it’s crucial for the development of our group in the next few years,” He Ming tried to persuade him.
Reluctantly, Gu Shaoting nodded in agreement. The thought of being away for a few days without Shu Pan’s care and her meals made him feel quite disheartened.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“We’ll talk about it later,” Gu Shaoting sat back at his desk and started looking through the files.
He Ming glanced at him and then left the room.
Around noon, Gu Shaoting checked the clock on the wall, and it was already past 12 0’clock. Naturally, he picked up his phone and called Shu Pan. Before the call connected, he pondered on what he would say when she answered.
Just as he was lost in thought, Shu Pan’s soft voice sounded from the other end, “What’s the matter?” She found it strange that he would call her at this time. It couldn’t be something serious, could it?
“I haven’t had lunch, and I’m still at the office,” Gu Shaoting sounded a bit aggrieved.
Shu Pan’s eyes narrowed slightly, and she unconsciously tightened her grip on the phone.
“I can’t leave now. You go eat outside,” she said. In the past, he often didn’t come home for meals, and now he always complained that outside food lacked nutrition and wasn’t as hygienic as what she cooked at home.
“What time will you be home? I can pick you up after work,” Gu Shaoting thought it was a good idea.
“No need, I don’t know when I’ll be done. Don’t bother,” Shu Pan promptly rejected the offer. She didn’t want to trouble him.
“Up to you,” Gu Shaoting’s tone suddenly changed, expressing a hint of annoyance.
Hearing his ambiguous tone, Shu Pan felt a bit helpless. His emotions were like a child’s—coming and going quickly. More importantly, dealing with him was sometimes more challenging than dealing with Joy.
“I’m busy now, find somewhere to eat yourself,” Shu Pan said before hanging up the phone.
Gu Shaoting held the phone in his hand, maintaining the same posture, his eyes emitting a freezing gaze as if capable of freezing a person in place.
Not long after, He Ming came in.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Let’s go, grab something to eat outside,” He Ming was already quite hungry.
“Let’s go,” His Majesty finally spoke up.
After hanging up the phone, Shu Pan immediately immersed herself in work. She had recently received a design project, keeping her busy. Just as she was engrossed in her work, the phone on her desk rang again.
Glancing at it, she thought it was probably Gu Shaoting again. Only he would be so bored.
The phone stopped for a moment, but soon it rang again, disrupting Shu Pan’s work. Resigned, she picked up the phone and checked. To her surprise, it wasn’t Gu Shaoting but Wen Chi, who was on a business trip.
Because he was away, attending meetings and studying, they had an unspoken agreement not to contact each other much. Now that he called, it probably meant he was back.
“Chi, are you back?” Shu Pan asked as soon as she answered the call.
“Yeah, I just arrived,” Wen Chi replied greedily, wanting to hear more of Shu Pan’s voice. He missed it so much.
“How about I pick you up for dinner after work tonight?” Wen Chi had been looking forward to this moment for a long time.
“It might be a bit late, I still have some work to finish,” Shu Pan thought for a moment and said.
“No problem, see you later,” Wen Chi’s peach blossom eyes happily formed a curved line..
