945  Chapter 944: Can Family Members Go?

Shu Pan got home, and after she finished her errands, Gu Shaoting came back. However, compared to before, his return was considered early.

In the past, he could chat with Shu Pan on WeChat at any time, but now that Shu Pan had started working, the occasional message he sent would sink like a stone in the sea—no response came back.

He figured she must be too busy, and didn't want to disturb her. So, he could only wait to have a good chat when she returned at night.

Shu Pan going out to work now did have a certain impact on his life.

Before, everything for him was managed by Shu Pan. In the morning, as soon as he got up, Shu Pan would start managing his dressing and breakfast.

Now, after Shu Pan hurried to deal with the children and her own affairs, she would leave the house and had absolutely no time to attend to him.

Yesterday morning he looked at her somewhat grievously, hoping she would understand his meaning. But after she dressed up and made herself up, she just said, "Your clothes are in the closet," and then hurried away.

At that moment, Gu Shaoting felt like a mixed jar of flavors had been knocked over in his heart; he didn't know what to feel.

It was as if he wasn't favored anymore—Shu Pan's life now seemed centered on her work and children.

At night, before sleep, Shu Pan sat leaning against the headboard of the bed. Gu Shaoting walked in and felt a surge of joy—was Shu Pan still awake today?

This action proved she had something to say to him. Could it be that she felt she had neglected him too much lately and was now trying to make up for it?

Gu Shaoting quickly approached, and sure enough, Shu Pan gave him a glance. Under the dim light of the bedside lamp, she looked very gentle and lovely in her pink pajamas. He heard her gently start, "Shaoting, this weekend our company is organizing a two-day outing for the staff, so I'll need you to take care of the kids over the weekend."

Gu Shaoting paused, struck by how different this was from what he had imagined.

An outing? For two days?

"Can family members come too? Even if at their own expense?" he thought quickly and asked.

"I doubt it. Our company has a lot of staff already, and it's quite a challenge to arrange as is, so they didn't suggest bringing family members this time," Shu Pan said truthfully.

Gu Shaoting's face darkened slightly under the light, becoming obscure.

"Oh, maybe next time," Gu Shaoting said, his voice clearly carrying disappointment.

Shu Pan looked at him and then cautiously asked, "Is there an issue with that?"

"No worries, just have fun," Gu Shaoting could only force a smile and say.

His wife was rarely this happy, and he definitely couldn't be a drag on her, although it did feel a bit depressing since it had been a long time since he and Shu Pan had gone out alone.

"Okay," Shu Pan said, seeing his response and remaining silent thereafter.

"You're about to go out and have fun, and I won't see you for two whole days?" Gu Shaoting complained like a petulant husband.

"So, what do you want to do?" Shu Pan said helplessly, guessing what he was about to suggest.

Sure enough, after a while, he shamelessly added, "Then spend more time with me these two days."

As he said it, his gaze burned into her, as if he could devour her.

The room was filled with a thick, suggestive atmosphere, and the night was still long.

...

The next day, after everyone left, Gu Shaoting got out of bed and saw the clothes on the bedside. A smile appeared on his face. Following his complaints yesterday, she had finally prepared it for him. It was actually a small thing; it didn't matter if he did it himself, but he just liked to watch her bustling about for him. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Once he was ready, he left the house too.

Today, he had some details to discuss with Director Lu of Shengtian.
