“Why would there be a dog in the office? Do you need a Tetanus shot?” Tang Wei asked in all seriousness, defeating Shu Pan completely.

“Nah. I’ll recover given time.” Shu Pan said casually.

MO Lan walked in subsequently, stomping her feet. She thought with gritted teeth that she couldn’t do anything to Shu Pan now, but she would catch Shu Pan one day and stop her arrogance.

She used to think that Shu Pan was a pushover, but her eyes had been opened today. Shu Pan had been hiding her true self.

Tang Wei saw MO Lan’s sulky face and gave Shu Pan a look that asked her what was going on.

Shu Pan shrugged her shoulders and went back to work.

Tang Wei didn’t get any inside scoop and went back to work too.

When it was almost knock-off time, Gu Shaoting called Shu Pan. Shu Pan saw the caller ID and was worried that someone would see it, so she secretly picked up the call.

“Can you leave now? I’ll wait for you at the intersection across the street. If you’re not down in 10 minutes, I’ll go up and look for you.” Gu Shaoting hung up before Shu Pan could speak.

Shu Pan was furious. When would this person ever learn to respect others? He was always so domineering.

Shu Pan had no choice. She was more afraid that he would run up to find her if she didn’t show up. Therefore, she left the moment knock-off time came and rushed to the intersection across the street as quickly as she could.

Shu Pan didn’t act like a thief this time. She quickly opened the car door and got in.

Gu Shaoting smiled in satisfaction at her speed. Sure enough, threats worked better.

Shu Pan said that she needed to go to the supermarket to get groceries after they picked Joy up and it wasn’t convenient to go shopping with Joy in tow.

Hearing this, Gu Shaoting immediately said, “I’ll go too. I can help carry things.”

“It’s just groceries. Nothing too heavy.” Shu Pan replied.

“Let’s go and see what our little beauty Joy wants to eat.” Gu Shaoting ignored Shu Pan’s reply, picked Joy up and walked forward.

If anyone who knew him saw this scene, they would be shocked. It was because he was the CEO of Gu Group who was always ruthless and decisive in the business world.

But now? He was like a very sticky plaster in front of the mother and daughter, the kind that couldn’t be removed even if one tried.

Shu Pan couldn’t figure out his intentions and couldn’t believe the change in his behavior. Perhaps he would turn cold again after he recovered his memories…

Her scars from the past hadn’t healed yet and still hurt occasionally.

But lately, Gu Shaoting had been looking at her more passionately and his behavior in front of her had changed a lot. She even wondered sometimes if he was still the same person.

“What’s on your mind? Why are you so engrossed?” Gu Shaoting saw that she was in a daze and interrupted her train of thought.

“Nothing much. I’m just thinking about what to cook tonight.” Shu Pan said perfunctorily.

“I would like to have sweet and sour pork ribs, green pepper beef, boiled Chinese cabbage, and chestnut chicken soup.” Gu Shaoting rattled off a few dishes in one breath.

“Joy, what would you like to eat?” Shu Pan didn’t respond to Gu Shaoting but asked Joy.

“I would like to have the same dishes as Uncle Gu.” Joy said proudly.

Joy’s favorite person now was her mother, followed by Uncle Gu. Because Uncle Go picked her up from school early every day in his car and her classmates all thought that Uncle Gu was her father and were very envious.

Because Uncle Gu was super handsome. A few children in her class even said that they would like to switch fathers.

But this was her secret, one that she wouldn’t tell anyone.

Every time Uncle Gu came, he would buy her a toy or a Barbie doll. She really wished that he was her father.

She would ask her mother one day if Uncle Gu could be her father..
