Let's Divorce As Agreed

Chapter 1138: Chapter 1137: Inexplicable

Gu Shaoting furrowed his brow, wondering why Shu Pan was being so formal with him. It felt devoid of any warmth.

“Panpan, the child is mine too. Taking good care of them is my duty, so you don’t have to act like an outsider. Why are you angry? Please tell me. When you act like this, I feel very confused and don’t know what to do.”

Gu Shaoting directly expressed his doubts.

Shu Pan was stunned for a moment, surprised that it was him on the phone; she had thought it was Xiaobao.

She had come out to take a moment to calm herself, but now, hearing him speak like this, she became somewhat unsettled.

“Why am I angry, you really don’t know?” Shu Pan chuckled softly.

“Panpan, you know I’m not very emotionally intelligent. Look, He Ming often mocks me. If you’re dissatisfied with anything, just tell me. I’ll change, alright? Please don’t ignore me; otherwise, I’ll be restless all day and will not be able to focus on work,” Gu Shaoting pleaded sweetly.

Was this still the same Cold-faced Yama, Mr. Gu, from usual times?

But Gu Shaoting thought, what’s wrong with making concessions in front of his wife?

Shu Pan didn’t expect him to say such a thing, but so what?

Forgiven once, and then the same mistakes are made again.

Always using the same excuse.

Shu Pan felt tired too.

“Shaoting, honestly, we’ve been together nearly ten years. After all these years, can’t you understand me?” Xia Weiyang’s tone was somewhat flat.

A decade of marriage, and still not understanding her character? She couldn’t tolerate lies the most.

She wasn’t unreasonable, but using deception to handle things was something she couldn’t stand.

“Panpan, I really don’t know what’s bothering you. Is it because I don’t have time for you? Didn’t attend Joy’s parent-child activities? Or is it because Xia is still working as my secretary? I can explain all these,” Gu Shaoting added.

Gu Shaoting thought back briefly; that morning everything had been normal, but after a series of events, she seemed to have become angry upon returning.

To say Shu Pan was very angry when she heard what Gu Shaoting said would be an understatement, but now she found she couldn’t even laugh.

His words implied that she was making a fuss over nothing, that he had his reasons; it was ridiculous, really, and she didn’t want to continue any further.

“No need for explanations, let’s just leave it as it is. I’ve been tired all day and want to rest, goodbye.” Shu Pan didn’t give him another chance to speak, ending the call right after she finished speaking.

Gu Shaoting stared at the phone in his hand, lost in thought.

He felt Shu Pan was even more upset now.

Ah, a woman’s heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea. It seemed he still needed to learn more from He Ming.

After hanging up the phone, Shu Pan walked onto the hotel balcony, her heart heavy.

Now she didn’t even know where the problem lay.

This marriage seemed like a solo performance by herself.

Just then, a knock came from the door, and Shu Pan looked at herself, still in her clothes from today, not yet having taken a bath.

She walked over to the peephole and peeked through. It was Lu Lei.

Hurriedly, she opened the door, “Director Lu, is there something you need?”

“I noticed you ate very little tonight. I know a place nearby that serves really good hot pot congee, perfectly simmered, smooth and creamy. How about we try it?” Lu Lei suggested, his tone full of anticipation.

Indeed, she had been rushing about today, flying and meeting clients, and now that she paused, she really felt hungry.

“Okay, let’s give it a try. Now that you mention it, my stomach is indeed growling,” Shu Pan said, while playfully patting her stomach.
