Let's Divorce As Agreed

Chapter 28: Jealous

When Gu Shaoting walked out of the private room and entered the lobby, he happened to see the two people by the window, seemingly gazing affectionately at each other. Suddenly, an unnamed anger ignited within him.

He approached with long strides and said, "Honey, why didn't you tell me you were having a meal with a friend?"

Gu Shaoting walked over, slightly bending down, and placed his hand on Shu Pan's shoulder.

Shu Pan was startled by his sudden appearance. The unexpected address of "honey" made her feel uneasy and anxious.

It had been a long time since he called her that. Lately, their relationship had become even more strained due to her father's situation.

However, she didn't want to embarrass him in front of Su Yuan. After all, they were still married.

"Su Yuan, this is my husband, Gu Shaoting. Shaoting, this is my friend Su Yuan. We haven't seen each other in a long time," Shu Pan introduced, and the two of them exchanged perfunctory greetings.

"Are you both full? Let's go back," Gu Shaoting said, eager to leave this place and take Shu Pan home.

"We're full," Shu Pan replied. Then she turned to Su Yuan and said, "Thank you, we'll get together again when we have the chance."

"Sure, let me know if you need any help," Su Yuan advised.

Gu Shaoting couldn't help but roll his eyes internally. Did he really think he was invisible?

He Ming looked at the three of them, feeling somewhat confused and unable to fully comprehend Gu Shaoting's behavior. How could he treat Shu Pan with indifference before but show concern today? It was like Trump's face-changing technique—ever-changing and unpredictable.

At night, as cars whizzed past, Shu Pan and Su Yuan waved goodbye. A black Mercedes-Benz parked in front of her, and after getting in, she turned her face to look out the window. The person in the car had a frosty expression, his face full of anger.

Suddenly, Shu Pan's mind wandered to Gu Shaoting's previous cold and indifferent attitude towards her, especially during her father's situation. But just now, he had shown such warmth. Now, he wore a face of a stranger, resembling a magic trick of changing faces, unpredictable and capricious.

She had intended to take the opportunity to discuss divorce with him, but seeing him like this, she had to give up. Fortunately, her pregnancy wasn't noticeable yet. She could keep it a secret for a while longer.

Back at home, Gu Shaoting finally exploded.

"Shu Pan, is this your strategy? Did you seduce a lover to help you repay the debt?" Gu Shaoting's voice was cold and eerie, sending shivers down Shu Pan's spine.

"And..." Gu Shaoting suddenly grabbed her chin, forcing her to meet his gaze. "Mrs. Gu, I'm telling you seriously now, don't test my bottom line. Don't let me find out that you're not faithful. If you disgrace me, you'll regret it. Understand?"

"I... I understand!" Gu Shaoting's fierce demeanor frightened Shu Pan, and he released his grip.

Shu Pan slumped onto the sofa, still looking up, forcefully holding back her tears. Tears would only make her appear more pathetic.

She should have anticipated this outcome. Gu Shaoting glanced at her, then thought about He Ming waiting downstairs to discuss business. He took a step forward and paused at the doorway.

A beam of light shone on Shu Pan, blinding her.

The door was heartlessly closed, and Shu Pan covered her mouth, stubbornly refusing to let her tears flow. She placed her hand on her belly and whispered, "Baby, be good. You're my last support."

After descending the stairs, Gu Shaoting was pulled into a bar by He Ming. Seeing his gloomy expression, He Ming didn't dare to say a word, afraid of touching a raw nerve. He suggested having a drink.

Gu Shaoting was currently conflicted. He didn't want to treat Shu Pan this way, but whenever he thought of his deceased father and Shu Laide living well, he couldn't accept it.
