Gu Shaoting took Shu Pan to several women’s clothing stores again, and they returned home with their hands full of bags.

Shu Pan noticed Gu Shaoting swiping his card without hesitation, while her own heart was pounding.

“You bought too much,” Shu Pan reproached.

“Show me one piece every day,” Gu Shaoting whispered in her ear, then firmly wrapped his arm around her waist.

With so many people around, Shu Pan felt shy. She pushed him hard, but he held onto her even tighter, pressing her body against his.

Gu Shaoting was always elegant in his gestures, but his strength was unexpectedly great. Shu Pan couldn’t pry his hands off with both of hers.

What had gotten into him today? He was usually so reserved, but now he was acting like this in public.

What was he thinking? Occasionally, he would act so unexpectedly, catching her off guard, and she couldn’t keep up with his pace.

Just when she wished she could disappear, Gu Shaoting paused, then released her, smiling gently. His magnetic voice could make anyone’s ears melt.

“This is a thank-you gift for you.”

A thank-you gift? The scene from last night involuntarily flashed through Shu Pan’s mind, and she felt like she was blushing so hard that blood would drip from her face.

Internally, she was in turmoil. Did he have to say such ambiguous things in such a public place?

“Shut up,” Shu Pan blushed and scolded him.

“Let’s go. I’ve devoted all my time to you today, including tonight. What do you want to do?” Gu Shaoting added the word “tonight” ambiguously.

“I’ll think about it carefully,” Shu Pan replied seriously. It was still early, and it wasn’t time to meet Joy yet.

“Okay, take your time,” Gu Shaoting looked around, considering whether to find a place to eat something. After all, he rarely went on dates with women. Suddenly, a jewelry store not far away caught his eye. Right, he should prepare for it.

Hmm, he would give her a surprise. Gu Shaoting remained calm and turned to see that Shu Pan was still lost in thought.

At that moment, Gu Shaoting’s personal phone rang. He checked the number and said to Shu Pan, “Wait for me here. I have to take this call.’

Shu Pan nodded. “Sure, go ahead and take the call.”

Gu Shaoting walked to a less crowded place to answer the phone. Shu Pan felt a bit bored after shopping for so long and was a little thirsty.

Seeing a nearby bubble tea shop, she walked over and bought two cups, intending to sit down and drink, just like everyone else, to relax during the date.

Just as she was about to pay, Gu Shaoting hurried over. “Panpan, I have an urgent matter to attend to.”

“Okay, go ahead,” Shu Pan understood him. With the responsibility of thousands of people’s livelihoods on his shoulders, being busy was normal. It was already rare for him to take her out for a walk today.

“I’ll take you home first,” Gu Shaoting was afraid of leaving her alone outside. After all, he had originally planned to accompany her shopping.

“No need. I can take a taxi home myself. I still want to shop some more. You go and take care of your business,” Shu Pan saw the concern on his face and guessed that this time, the problem was probably serious.

She couldn’t help, so she could only promise not to cause trouble for him.

“Okay, be careful on your own. Use the card I gave you last time. Buy whatever you like. I’ll probably be busy until late. Go meet Joy, don’t wait for me.”

Before Shu Pan could nod, Gu Shaoting hurriedly left..
