Chapter 778: Spoiling
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Gu Shaoting heard her words, just smiled faintly, but didn’t let go. He gazed into her bright eyes and pearl-like teeth, his eyes filled with indulgence.
Shu Pan noticed he still hadn’t released his hold, so she stopped struggling and instead hooked her hand around his neck. She adopted his usual way of sizing people up, narrowing her eyes to thin slits, and looked at him with a sly expression. “Mr. Gu, did something good happen? You seem unusually cheerful.”
Indeed, today he was smiling, and there was unmistakable joy in his eyes.
“Yes.” Gu Shaoting’s narrow black eyes narrowed slightly as he scrutinized her, the depths of his gaze unfathomable. “Would you like to hear about it?”
Shu Pan lifted her head to meet his gaze, his eyes intense and sharp. “What’s it about?”
Shu Pan was instantly curious. If he was saying it wasn’t business-related, then it must be something personal. And he wouldn’t discuss business with her.
“I’ve finally let go of some pent-up frustration,” Gu Shaoting sighed. “The last time Charlene and her ex-boyfriend sent you those photos and videos, they got Tong Fei to stage a show to make you misunderstand me and leave me. But now, those who plotted against me have finally faced consequences.”
Shu Pan found it somewhat unbelievable. It was beyond ruthless—doing anything and everything to achieve their goals. It was just too much.
“Don’t worry, they’re all in a mess now, busy dealing with their own problems. That’s the fate of those who cross me,” Gu Shaoting said indifferently.
“Let’s just forgive and forget. We’re far apart now, and we probably won’t have much to do with them in the future,” Shu Pan said, feeling a bit compassionate.
“Alright, don’t worry. How’s the baby today? Kicking a lot?” Gu Shaoting didn’t want her to stress out, so he quickly changed the subject.
“Not well-behaved at all. Lately, the kicking has been really strong, and my belly even bulges out.” Shu Pan took the opportunity to complain. She had a feeling it was a boy because the strength was remarkable, tossing and turning in her belly, making it hard for her to sleep at night.
To avoid disturbing Gu Shaoting, she waited until he fell asleep before sitting up herself, trying to catch a few moments of rest with her eyes closed.
“So naughty. When he comes out, if it’s a boy, I’ll have to teach him a lesson.” Gu Shaoting placed his hand on Shu Pan’s belly, and sure enough, after a moment, his hand was nudged.
Gu Shaoting found it rather amusing, a sign that the baby was healthy. He smiled.
“You know you won’t do that.” Shu Pan thought Gu Shaoting was very doting on the child. Look at him, with Joy, he had no principles whatsoever.
Gu Shaoting didn’t say anything, he simply planted a kiss on Shu Pan’s forehead.
He released Shu Pan and walked over to the steps in the room, taking off his suit jacket and loosening his tie around his neck. “You’re both my babies. I really can’t bear to be stern with them, but I’ll make sure to raise him well.”
“No principles,” Shu Pan rolled her eyes at him.
“Hmm,” Gu Shaoting showed no sign of embarrassment.
Shu Pan sighed helplessly and then walked over to someone.
Gu Shaoting paused in loosening his tie, curious about what she was up to.
Shu Pan deliberately tiptoed forward, bringing her mouth close to his. Just when Gu Shaoting thought she was going to do something, Shu Pan suddenly stepped back, then looked at him with a mischievous smile.
“Revenge is a dish best served cold. Just you wait,” Gu Shaoting gave her a meaningful look, and Shu Pan blushed and turned her face away.
She really lacked confidence now. Looking at herself in the mirror, she saw her belly as large as a basket, her whole body feeling bloated, like a penguin.
