Let's Divorce As Agreed

Chapter 1117: Chapter 1116: Showing Off Affection

Xia Xiaoqiao had seen Gu Shaoting and Shu Pan being so affectionate for the first time. Their movements were very natural—Shu Pan feeding him a spoonful and Gu Shaoting taking one, harmoniously coordinated.

This kind of understanding was definitely not developed momentarily. Having been married for so long, such acts were only natural.

Xia Xiaoqiao saw how warm the atmosphere inside was and knew she would surely ruin it upon entering, and was certain that her intrusion would not be welcomed.

Xia Xiaoqiao had a good understanding of Gu Shaoting’s personality: he never showed a pleasant face to those he disliked.

Xia Xiaoqiao stood at the doorway, hesitating to proceed, uncertain whether or not to knock and enter.

She pursed her lips, looked at the thermos in her hands—it was the congee she had rushed to prepare that morning, intending to bring it to Gu Shaoting.

She thought that, because Gu Shaoting had risked everything for her, no matter how well she did, she couldn’t repay his kindness.

Though in a rush, the congee was made with no compromise in quality. She had bought the freshest ingredients from the market and slowly cooked it in a clay pot, hoping that Gu Shaoting could taste the congee she made; that alone would suffice her.

But now Gu Shaoting was already eating congee. As for the one she made…

At that thought, her spirits dampened.

Soon, she saw Shu Pan tidying up the bowls and chopsticks, guessing Gu Shaoting had finished eating.

Shu Pan put away the items and pulled out a napkin for Gu Shaoting, who didn’t speak but simply pouted his lips, indicating that his hands were inconvenient.

Helplessly, Shu Pan took the napkin and wiped for him; Gu Shaoting’s face showed enjoyment.@@novelbin@@

Shu Pan gave him a stern look, but between the couple, the rapport and harmony were impenetrable to others.

Seeing this scene, it felt like there were countless tiny needles pricking her heart; it was unbearable.

As she wallowed in her sorrow, Gu Huanhuan returned with her keys.

Upon seeing a beautiful woman standing at the door with a thermos in hand, whom she didn’t recognize,

and as soon as Xia Xiaoqiao saw someone coming, she panicked and quickly walked away.

Gu Huanhuan was baffled—was she really that scary? Why did she act as if she’d seen a ghost?

It was truly baffling.

She pursed her lips then returned to the hospital room, seeing Shu Pan helping Gu Shaoting tidy the bed and adjust his position.

She couldn’t help but tease, “Brother, this misfortune really turned into a blessing for you, look how well your cousin-in-law is taking care of you.”

“Go away, don’t be a third wheel,” Gu Shaoting grumbled.

“Annoying ghost, only cousin-in-law can tolerate you, cherish her or you’ll regret it later,” Gu Huanhuan stuck her tongue out at him.

For some reason, she suddenly remembered the beautiful woman at the door, who obviously had been standing there for a long time.

If she realized right away that she was in the wrong room, wouldn’t she have turned around and left? Why did she stay there for so long?

It was truly puzzling.

Gu Shaoting listened to Gu Huanhuan’s words but wasn’t angry, knowing she spoke the truth.

“By the way, brother, who did you save? Where is she?” Wouldn’t she have a bit of gratitude?

“A colleague,” Gu Shaoting responded blandly.

“Oh, you should be careful from now on, don’t think you are still young and strong; think more about cousin-in-law and the children.” Gu Huanhuan had been frightened earlier into weakness at the knees.

“Alright, I got it,” Gu Shaoting nodded and also gestured a goodbye.

After Gu Huanhuan left, the room returned to tranquility.
