Shu Pan no longer paid attention to Gu Shaoting, just focusing on eating with her head down. Gu Shaoting noticed and reached out to put some meat from the plate into Shu Pan’s bowl.

“Have some more meat. You look like a paper-thin figure, ready to topple with a gust of wind,” Gu Shaoting said in a gentle tone, causing Shu Pan’s heart to flutter.

Shu Pan was momentarily stunned, not expecting such a gesture from Gu Shaoting. She picked a few grains of rice with her chopsticks, chewing slowly, while pondering what Gu Shaoting might mean by this.

But he remained calm and composed, giving away no clues about his intentions.

The next day, Shu Pan left for the company early. Gu Shaoting watched her leave and paced around the house. He wanted to ask her not to go to work, but they had agreed on it, and he couldn’t interfere.

So boring! Gu Shaoting rubbed his head in frustration,

“Brother, where are you? I’m so bored at home. I want to visit the company. Is it convenient?” Gu Shaoting, feeling utterly bored, reluctantly called He Ming.

“Um… um… Wait a moment, I’ll come pick you up.” He Ming on the other end of the phone seemed a bit distracted.

Hearing He Ming’s response, Gu Shaoting furrowed his brow, a bit puzzled about what might be happening.

Indeed, something had happened. He Ming was facing pressure from his family to get married and had been introduced to potential girlfriends. He firmly declined, but his family thought he simply hadn’t found someone he liked yet and continued the matchmaking efforts.

They even went as far as to say that he could bring his preferred girl home, thinking that would be the only way to prove he was serious. He Ming could only ask his family for more time, as he was still working on winning Ye Xiaomeng’s heart and didn’t want to complicate matters further.

Shortly after, He Ming drove to Shuimu Qinghua to pick up Gu Shaoting. “Brother Ting, life is so annoying, full of things not going well,” He Ming complained as soon as the two got into the car, seeking some comfort.

“Fortunately, I still find life beautiful at the moment. Every day is exciting,” Gu Shaoting said cheerfully, displaying a happy and contented demeanor that seemed somewhat provocative.

Taking advantage of a red light, He Ming glanced at Gu Shaoting. Indeed, he looked healthy, radiant, and still exuded a remarkable aura.

“Why, Shu Pan takes good care of you. You seem to be in heaven already in her care,” He Ming teased.

“Right? Comparing to the past, I have more than enough now,” Gu Shaoting modestly replied, the happiness in his eyes hard to ignore.

Unable to help himself, He Ming took another look, feeling a bit envious. When would he and Ye Xiaomeng succeed? It seemed like a long and uncertain journey.

Arriving at the company, Gu Shaoting and He Ming walked side by side towards the elevator. He Ming observed Gu Shaoting’s movements, which seemed natural and devoid of any nervousness. He couldn’t help but be suspicious, “Are you really experiencing amnesia, or is it fake?”

“What do you think?” Gu Shaoting answered evasively, making it hard to discern the truth.

“Who would joke about something like this?” Gu Shaoting continued.

He Ming seemed to agree, nodding in acknowledgment.

In the office, Gu Shaoting naturally stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, glanced below, and then asked He Ming, “How’s the company operating lately?

Any troubles?”

“No, it’s going well. Just that we’ll have to go to France for a few days on business. You’ll have to handle the negotiations.” He Ming checked the memo on the desk and reminded him..
