Let's Divorce As Agreed

Shu Pan spent several days in the hospital before being declared healthy and discharged. During her stay, Song Can visited her every day, bringing food and soup, and engaging in friendly conversations. Shu Pan was surprised by Song Can’s change in behavior but welcomed it nonetheless. After all, harmony at home meant everything was going well. There was no need for unnecessary chaos.

Back home, Shu Pan focused on rest while Gu Shaoting’s leg, after examination, was on the mend, with the only caution being not to walk too much or lift heavy objects. He resumed his work at the company because every organization needs its leader.

…

As time passed, the garden bloomed with the arrival of spring, signaling the end of the harsh winter. With the warm weather, everyone’s spirits lifted.

Shu Pan was on the phone with Ye Xiaomeng, who was nearing her due date. He Ming had forbidden her from going out due to her habit of indulging in spicy hotpot and barbecue, fearing complications.

Ye Xiaomeng was trapped at home every day, feeling like she was on the verge of going moldy from boredom.

“Girl, how do you stand it? Sitting at home every day, I feel like I’m about to lose it,” Ye Xiaomeng said, her impatience growing. Maybe it was because the due date was closer and closer.

“Xiaomeng, your due date is in these few days. Don’t do anything reckless. Stay calm. Is your mother-in-law taking care of you during your postpartum confinement?” Shu Pan suddenly remembered this, realizing she hadn’t heard Xiaomeng mention her mother-in-law for a long time.

“Yeah, she does occasionally come over to cook and make soup now. Ha, it’s like turning over a new leaf. I guess she’s finally accepted reality. And her attitude towards me has improved a lot.” Ye Xiaomeng chuckled self-deprecatingly.

“That’s good. I’m content with the current situation too. My mother-in-law is also here to take care of me during postpartum confinement. Even though we’ve hired a confinement nanny, her presence means a lot.” Shu Pan felt blessed by fate. The issues she had worried about before seemed to be resolving themselves.

Now, Song Can mostly stayed at Qiyuan, buying many clothes for their unborn baby and purchasing supplements like cubilose and fish gelatin for her health. It was a stark contrast to his previous behavior.

Shu Pan observed this transformation with delight.

Gu Shaoting was also relieved to no longer be caught between his wife and mother, feeling a weight lifted off his shoulders.

“This is the most surprising thing of the century,” Ye Xiaomeng exclaimed, amazed by Song Can’s change. She always remembered her as arrogant and full of superiority.

“That’s why they say anything is possible in this world,” Shu Pan agreed, finding it all unbelievable.

Ye Xiaomeng also agreed, thinking that after giving birth and having a baby, her relationship with her mother-in-law would likely improve.

They talked for a long time until Gu Shaoting returned home, and Shu Pan hung up the phone.

“Who were you chatting with?” Gu Shaoting asked casually.

“Xiaomeng. She’s feeling a bit down before childbirth, so I was cheering her up. It’s tough for her to be stuck at home every day,” Shu Pan joked.

Gu Shaoting smiled at her response.

“Has the baby been behaving these days?” Gu Shaoting crouched down next to Shu Pan, his hand on her belly.

“Very well,” Shu Pan radiated with maternal love.

This month, Shu Pan’s belly had ballooned, making her waddle like a penguin when she walked.

Gu Shaoting was worried, feeling like he had aged overnight. So as soon as he finished work, he rushed back home.

Shu Pan’s due date was next month, and she couldn’t wait to meet their baby.
