Shu Pan had finally recovered from her illness, and during these days, Gu Shaoting had been visiting. She considered his role as Joy’s father and didn’t object to his visits.

However, he was becoming a bit too persistent. Every time he came, he would linger and insist on staying for dinner. He even made specific requests for dishes. Shu Pan ignored him and he shut up for good, leaving Shu Pan perplexed, wondering if he was the same Gu Shaoting as before.

Shu Pan was busy in the kitchen when Gu Shaoting arrived again. During dinner, she said, “I’m all better now. You don’t have to come over anymore.” Gu Shaoting pretended not to hear and continued to eat.

“Joy, be a good girl and eat these meatballs. Eating more will help you grow taller,” Shu Pan coaxed Joy.

“Mom, I don’t want to eat so much meat. I’ll get fat,” Joy replied.

Gu Shaoting was left speechless, she was just a child, after all.

“Nonsense, it’s your growing phase now. You’re as small as a bean sprout. You need to eat more to grow properly,” Shu Pan replied, feeling defeated by her daughter’s argument. Life had improved a little, and Joy had grown a bit taller. Shu Pan was content with her progress.

“Wang Zihang, that boy, said eating too much will turn you into a pig,” Joy’s innocent remark amused everyone.

“Don’t listen to him. Uncle is a boy too, and I know that eating more will make you grow tall and beautiful,” Gu Shaoting quickly chimed in.

Once Joy finished eating, she left the table.

Gu Shaoting finally spoke, “What kindergarten is Joy attending, and what has she learned?”

Shu Pan didn’t want to answer his question. She changed the subject, “Are you done eating? I’m clearing the table. Also, I’ll be returning to work tomorrow, so you don’t need to come over.”

“Um… I can come after you finish work,” Gu Shaoting mumbled.

“Gu Shaoting, I appreciate your help when I was sick, but now I’ve recovered.

Besides, you have a fiancée, and I don’t want you constantly coming over,” Shu Pan didn’t want any more trouble.

“I’m here to see Joy. She’s my daughter, too, and I’ve promised to wait for the right time for us to reunite. You can’t deprive me of the right to visit her,” Gu Shaoting argued reasonably.

Ignoring him, Shu Pan went straight to the kitchen to clean up.

Gu Shaoting watched her in frustration, wondering what excuse he could use to stay longer.

Gu Shaoting hadn’t come up with an excuse yet when Song Can found his way to their house.

Song Can got straight to the point, and her first words were, “When will Joy recognize her roots?”

Seeing Song Can once again, Shu Pan was surprisingly not as timid as before.

“Joy is my child, Mrs. Gu,” Shu Pan replied calmly.

“Shu Pan, our Gu family’s descendants cannot remain outside. You’re a divorced single woman with a child, and it’s not easy to find someone,” Song Can explained earnestly.

“My affairs are not your concern. But right now, Joy’s last name is Shu, not Gu,” Shu Pan asserted as a protective mother.

Normally, she seemed quite approachable, but when it came to matters involving her child, she became like a fierce mother bear, fiercely defending against any threats.

“Shu Pan, turning down a drink when it’s offered means you’ve got to take a penalty shot…” Song Can threatened.

Indeed, it was like mother, like son. Their way of speaking was quite similar.

“Huh, Mrs. Gu, you can have as many grandsons as you like through your son and his future wife,” Shu Pan smiled lightly. “You…” Song Can was left seething with anger..
