Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

It was past 5 p.m. when Shu Pan left the company. At the entrance, Gu Shaoting’s exclusive car, a black Mercedes of the latest model, was waiting for her. Apparently, Gu Shaoting had a preference for black, as most of his cars shared the same color tone.

Shu Pan opened the passenger door, finding Gu Shaoting inside the car, engrossed in reading documents. Shu Pan couldn’t help but furrow her brows,

“If you’re busy, I can pick up Joy myself.”

Gu Shaoting turned his head, giving her a faint look without saying a word.

As Shu Pan settled into the car, fastening her seatbelt without glancing at him or engaging in conversation, the air inside the car became awkward. Both of them were not particularly talkative individuals.

Finally reaching Joy’s kindergarten, the little girl was already waiting with her backpack on her back.

“Daddy, Mommy, you’re here! It took you so long; I’ve been waiting for a while.” Having both Mommy and Daddy come to pick her up made her the envy of her classmates. Moreover, her Daddy and Mommy were the best-looking, and she felt quite proud of it.

“Sorry, there was some traffic, so we arrived late.” Shu Pan casually offered an excuse.

“Mommy, you said Uncle Wen would come back today. Where is he?” Joy looked behind them.

Shu Pan patted her head and smiled, “Yes, Uncle Wen is back, but he’s a bit tired, so he went home to rest.”

Gu Shaoting glanced at Shu Pan, thinking that when this woman lied, she didn’t need to prepare anything. It was all child’s play.

Everyone knew he was fatigued from the journey, yet he rushed over to see her the moment he returned. How dare she say there was no ulterior motive?

Gu Shaoting was still upset about it.

He was generous about everything, except when it came to Shu Pan. After all, he cared about her.

“Oh, when can I see Uncle Wen then? I really miss him.” Joy said a bit disappointedly. She thought she would see him soon.

Shu Pan looked at Gu Shaoting, her eyes seemed to say, “It’s up to you. Your daughter wants to see her Uncle Wen.”

Gu Shaoting stood beside Shu Pan, listening to the little girl express her longing for Wen Chi. His chest felt stuffy, but he didn’t stop Joy from missing Wen Chi. For a child, it was an expression of gratitude since he had taken care of Joy during the years he was absent.

“When do you want to see Uncle Wen? He’s a bit tired today. How about tomorrow night?” Gu Shaoting asked Joy for her opinion. He spoiled Joy a lot, and her requests were almost always granted.

“Okay, thank you, Daddy!” Joy happily agreed.

“Contact Uncle Wen later and see if he’s available tomorrow night. I’ll help you book a table at the restaurant.” Gu Shaoting said to Shu Pan.

“No need for the trouble; I can handle it myself.” Shu Pan felt it was unnecessary. She was afraid Gu Shaoting would book a too fancy restaurant, making them uncomfortable.

“Daddy, why don’t you come with us tomorrow? I’ll introduce Uncle Wen to you. Uncle Wen is so handsome.” Joy said earnestly.

“Oh, dear, you really know how to hit your Daddy.” Shu Pan thought.

Gu Shaoting smiled wryly. In his daughter’s heart, Uncle Wen held an important place.

“Sweetheart, Daddy has something to do tomorrow night and can’t go with you. Maybe next time.” Gu Shaoting appeased Joy.

“Okay, then I’ll go with Mommy.” Joy said happily.

Gu Shaoting thought to himself, it would be great if the hospital kept arranging for Wen Chi to work out of town. Such childish thoughts..
