Let's Divorce As Agreed

Shu Pan’s focus in life was mostly on her youngest child. Gu Xiaobao often gave her surprises.

She talked to him often even though he didn’t understand her. Shu Pan insisted on talking to him because she believed that his subconscious mind was learning. She often taught him words like “Daddy”, “Mommy”, but Xiaobao hadn’t said anything yet.

One day when Gu Shaoting was leaving for a business trip, Gu Xiaobao saw him walk out of the bedroom in a suit and crawled over to hug Mr. Gu’s thigh.

Helpless, Mr. Gu could only pick him up. Seeing that the baby was about to wipe his nose on his father’s clothes, Shu Pan quickly carried him away.

In a moment of desperation, Gu Xiaobao cried and called out, “Daddy… Daddy…”

Gu Xiaobao, who usually refused to speak, didn’t want to see his father leave so much that he blurted out the word “Daddy”.

At that moment, Shu Pan held him tightly, kissed and hugged him. And very soon, Xiaobao said “Mommy”. When his childish voice said those words, people’s hearts would melt.

Soon, Gu Xiaobao turned one. He got more active and started to learn how to walk. At first, his short and chubby legs would run around the living room and he’d fall quickly. But he would get up quickly and run clumsily all over again.

This little fellow started to run before he started to walk. Shu Pan’s heart trembled with fear when she watch him charge around with his head down.

He especially liked to play with his sister, Joy. When his sister came home from school, the little guy would start giggling from afar and run towards his sister.

Joy also loved to play with Xiaobao. When she saw her brother running over, she would open her arms and welcome the little guy with a smile. The two siblings would then hug each other before the little guy held his sister’s hand proudly.

The mischievous Xiaobao also had excellent hearing. As soon as he heard the sound of a car coming from the courtyard, he would know that his father was home. No matter what he was doing at the time, he would drop everything and run to the door, open his eyes wide and wait for his father to walk in.

Whenever Mr. Gu came home from the office, the first thing he saw was always his chubby Xiaobao standing by the door, looking very adorable with his cute clothes and dark, sparkly eyes.

It was this waiting that made Mr. Gu a total homebody. He had basically stopped all after-work social engagements. He would leave work on time, even early sometimes because the little guy was waiting for him at home. Whenever he thought about the cute Xiaobao, his fatigue would disappear in an instant.

On Xiaobao’s first birthday, the family had a meal together. Shu Pan personally baked a cake. Since she wasn’t working now, she made lots of delicious food for her children in order to kill time. Shu Pan honed her cooking skills; she was basically a professional chef now.

She would cook whenever she was free and Auntie Li would assist her.

This was also why Gu Shaoting would come home for dinner every day. The dishes made by his beloved wife were delicious beyond words.

There was a saying “the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.” Shu Pan probably succeeded.

Shu Pan cooked all the dishes on Xiaobao’s first birthday. The table was full, and everyone ate with relish.

Especially Gu Huanhuan, who complimented the chef as she ate. The food was so delicious that she wanted to lick her plate clean.

“Cousin-in-law, how are you so good? This dish is too delicious.” Gu Huanhuan made an exception today and ate a little too much.

“Then come over more often when you’re free. I’ll cook it for you.” Shu Pan felt a sense of pride when she saw the empty dishes on the table.

“Sigh, I can’t eat too much. I ate so much tonight that I’ll need to exercise when I get home.” Gu Huanhuan lamented. The sad life of a female celebrity.
