Shu Pan was browsing online to see if there were any fun places to visit. Xiaomeng had mentioned a trip to Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand a couple of days ago, and after checking out the attractions today, Shu Pan was convinced they were worth visiting, especially Singapore, with its garden-like atmosphere, a place she had been wanting to visit for a long time.
However, she hadnât told Gu Shaoting about this yet. She planned to inform him tonight.
Yesterday, Joy had already gone to her grandfatherâs house, so Shu Pan finally had some time to prepare properly.
She had already applied for leave and was ready to go at any time.
Coincidentally, Xiaomeng called. âGirl, get your documents ready. Weâre leaving the day after tomorrow.â
âOkay,â Shu Pan said happily.
âRemember to tell your man. Who knows, maybe he doesnât want you to go? Itâs finally peaceful without Joy here,â Xiaomeng teased, seeming to know Gu Shaoting inside out.
Blushing over the phone, Shu Pan replied, âThereâs nothing to be attached to. Itâs been a long time since I went out. Iâll tell him later. But the thing is, I donât have much money, so I probably wonât be able to buy much.â
âYouâre worried he wonât give you money?â Xiaomeng scoffed. âSeriously?â
âThink about it. The man youâre going to marry is a billionaire. Heâs loaded. Are you embarrassed to mention it to us?â
âI donât know. We donât talk about money now. Iâm not shallow,â Shu Pan defended herself.
Xiaomeng couldnât help but chuckle. Some things never change.
Around seven oâclock, Gu Shaoting returned home with his hands in his pockets. âHad dinner?â
âYeah,â Shu Pan chirped, bouncing over to him. âIâm planning to go on a trip to Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand with Xiaomeng the day after tomorrow.â
âWhat? Are you planning to leave me at home?â Gu Shaoting accused, his eyes betraying a hint of melancholy.
Blushing under his intense gaze, Shu Pan took the opportunity to say, âWeâll only be gone for a few days. Weâll be back soon.â
After saying this weakly, she observed his expression. Gu Shaoting glanced at her from the corner of his eye. âWhy suddenly decide to go on a trip? There were no signs. If you want to go, I can take you. â
âI havenât been on a trip for several years,â Shu Pan pouted. âJust a few days of relaxation with Xiaomeng. Sheâs not feeling well, and Iâll accompany her. Youâre so busy, when do you have time?â
âIâm okay with you going on a trip for a few days, but if you do, you owe me the benefits for those days,â Gu Shaoting hinted. đ§đđŠđŠđâŻđŁđđžđżâŻđ.đđžđ
âWhat benefits?â Shu Panâs heart raced as he looked at her. Pretending to be clueless, she innocently turned her eyes. âI donât know.â
âI can teach you,â Gu Shaoting said, then lowered his head to kiss her soft lips.
After a moment, he released Shu Pan. âUnderstood?â
Shu Pan nodded shyly, her face flushing.
âIn the future, you need to tell me in advance where you plan to go. You canât just decide to leave suddenly,â Gu Shaoting still harbored some lingering concerns. Shu Pan being away for a few days left him feeling uneasy being alone at home.
âOkay, I got it,â Shu Pan, feeling a bit stingy, wanted to roll her eyes at him, but she held back.
Gu Shaotingâs cold gaze softened under the light, but his expression still lacked warmth. âWhen you get there, remember not to stir up trouble. Just the two of you going, honestly, Iâm not very reassured.â
âIâll be careful,â Shu Pan nodded earnestly.
Seeing her obedient demeanor, Gu Shaotingâs brows relaxed slightly as he patted her head. âYouâre really troublesome.â
Shu Pan pulled him closer and asked, âHave you eaten?â
She quickly diverted his attention.
âYes, go take a shower quickly, and then Iâll see if you need anything before you leave.â
âOkay,â Shu Pan stuck out her tongue playfully, then hurried back to the bedroom.
