Let's Divorce As Agreed

Chapter 1099: Chapter 1098: Being Followed

Gu Shaoting looked at her and reached out to smooth her long hair that draped over her shoulders, admiring the way she looked with cascading long hair, very charming and feminine.

But now, due to her work, she preferred to tie her hair up tightly at the back, and he had wanted to pull out her hair tie on more than one occasion.

“Hmm, if there’s anything you want to talk about, after all, I am your husband,” Gu Shaoting said in a light and indifferent tone.

“Okay, I got it.” Shu Pan felt that people really shouldn’t do bad things. Was it just this one time that she got caught?

Seeing her so sincere, Gu Shaoting didn’t have the heart to say anything else.

The next day, Shu Pan went to work as usual. However, as they say, what you fear comes to pass; while waiting for the elevator, Lu Lei also came over. Since it was early, there were very few people in the company.

...

Shu Pan spotted Lu Lei immediately and, out of politeness, she mustered the courage to greet him, “Director Lu, good morning. Oh, by the way, is your child feeling better?”

Lu Lei glanced at her and a smile appeared in his eyes, “Much better, thank you for asking.”

“That’s good. After all, children have low immunity and are prone to catch colds and fever. You should take extra care of them,” Shu Pan began chattily when the topic of children came up.

Lu Lei looked at her, his expression not very good, and faint dark circles under his eyes suggested he hadn’t slept well.

So he said, “Yes, thanks for the reminder. But you should also take care of yourself. If it’s too hard, you can take a couple of days off to rest at home.”

Shu Pan hadn’t expected Lu Lei to show such concern for her and suddenly felt at a loss for what to do.

“It’s okay, I just haven’t been sleeping well lately,” Shu Pan hurriedly said.

Fortunately, the elevator arrived, and Shu Pan’s heart rejoiced, finally able to escape this awkward conversation.

After saying goodbye to Lu Lei, Shu Pan stepped into the elevator. Since Lu Lei took another elevator, she finally breathed a sigh of relief; being with a superior was always stressful.

That day, Shu Pan was so busy she didn’t even have time to drink water, let alone do anything else, and she missed two calls from Gu Shaoting.

When she called back, his phone was turned off.

Shu Pan thought he might have run out of battery, so she didn’t pay it much mind.

…

Ever since Xia Xiaoqiao hit Wang Dali on the head, she had been very scared.

Although Mr. Gu had been comforting her, telling her that Wang Dali was out of danger, her mind was still restless.

Overwrought from the shock, she was taking leave from work to rest at home.

Now and then, she would call Gu Shaoting to ask about the latest news.

Gu Shaoting felt self-reproach about Xia Xiaoqiao’s incident and despised himself, knowing full well Wang Dali’s intentions yet still gambling by letting Xia Xiaoqiao take the risk. If there had been no way to reverse the situation, he doubted he could have forgiven himself.

That afternoon, close to the end of his workday while he was reviewing documents in his office, he suddenly received a call from Xia Xiaoqiao.

On the other end, a nervous Xia Xiaoqiao said to him, “Mr. Gu, I think I may be followed. I just went out to the supermarket and noticed a figure sneakily following behind me. I was so scared that I quickly returned home. Do you think it could be Wang Dali seeking revenge?”

While speaking, Xia Xiaoqiao’s voice trembled severely, revealing the depth of her fear.

Gu Shaoting was startled; he hadn’t considered this issue until now. But hearing Xia Xiaoqiao say this, it wasn’t out of the realm of possibility. Having been in the social mix for so long, Wang Dali had many people who would show him face.
