Let's Divorce As Agreed

“Yeah, had a good time chatting,” Shu Pan casually replied.

Instantly, Gu Shaoting’s face darkened, and the sourness in his heart seemed to bubble up.

He pulled back the chair, stood up, and, taking advantage of his height, approached Shu Pan from above.

“I hope that when you say you’re taking care of me, you should show some sincerity. Like tonight, going out with friends without explaining anything, leaving me hungry at home. Don’t you think it’s a bit too much?” Gu Shaoting’s voice was mild as water, his fair face calm, and his black eyes deep and tranquil.

Shu Pan was forced to take a slight step back. She stood her ground, locking eyes with Gu Shaoting, and said seriously, “Taking care of you doesn’t mean I have no personal space. If you’re hungry, you can order takeout or hire someone to cook. I’m not your personal nanny.”

Shu Pan couldn’t stand this unpredictable person. She wasn’t his family or his nanny. There was no need to endure his temper.

Where there’s oppression, there’s resistance. Anyone who didn’t understand that shouldn’t assume she was an easy target.

Gu Shaoting was stunned by Shu Pan’s words. She was articulate and resolute. The worst part was he couldn’t push too hard. What if she got angry and decided to leave?

He suffered internally, his fair face turning slightly red under the assault of her words.

In the end, his self-control prevailed. He quickly regained composure, sighed softly, and said, “Do you still remember why I lost my memory? People with amnesia are very insecure…” After that, he walked away, leaving Shu Pan in contemplation.

Shu Pan pursed her lips, furrowed her brow, and then went into the kitchen to clean the dishes.

When Shu Pan came out of the shower, she noticed that Gu Shaoting was no longer in the living room. Assuming he had returned to his room, she walked into the living room intending to pour herself a glass of water. At that moment, she saw a figure moving on the balcony.

Upon closer inspection, it was Gu Shaoting, his silhouette somewhat lonely, gazing into the pitch-black night with a somewhat desolate expression.

Beside him, there were faint sparks, indicating he was smoking. He brought the cigarette to his lips, took a drag, and exhaled gently.

Apparently, Shu Pan’s movement of pouring water had disturbed him. He slowly turned around, his gaze landing on Shu Pan.

Just out of the shower, Shu Pan’s skin was dewy and rosy. She was dressed in a set of pink and orange cotton pajamas, looking cute and sweet.

Sensing Gu Shaoting’s intense gaze, Shu Pan felt a bit awkward.

Gu Shaoting’s gaze was open and unrestrained, with a hint of self-confidence.

He felt his heartbeat quicken, and his mouth became dry.

After taking a couple of sips of water, Shu Pan set the glass down and quickly returned to the bedroom.

Gu Shaoting remained motionless for a long time, seemingly still immersed in the scene just now. He knew it was the feeling of being moved.

Closing the bedroom door, Shu Pan’s emotions remained unsettled. She couldn’t understand why Gu Shaoting would look at her with such fiery eyes.

However, she soon pushed aside those thoughts and sighed bitterly. Lying on the bed, Shu Pan stared at the ceiling, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

Suddenly, she recalled what Wen Chi had said during dinner.

“Pan, I hope you can be with me.” His tone was so sincere that she was touched, but she dared not agree.

He didn’t fully understand her yet. She wished for a love that had everyone’s blessings. Even if they were together, his mother’s strong opposition would put Wen Chi in a difficult position, and she didn’t want him to become an unfilial son..
