Chapter 438 - 438: A Familiar Back View

As if sensing his presence, Shu Pan slowly opened her eyes and saw Gu Shaoting standing by the bed. His eyes had a hint of bloodshot, indicating his fatigue.

“You’re back?” Shu Pan’s voice was soft and gentle. Gu Shaoting, however, seemed distracted.

“Yeah, you go back to sleep. I’ll go take a shower,” Gu Shaoting replied, feeling a certain part of his body responding to the situation.

How could a man who had just started night life resist such temptation?

Gu Shaoting hurriedly took a shower as soon as he returned to the bedroom, wasting no time.

When he returned to the room, Shu Pan was already awake, sitting at the bedside, looking at him with concern.

“What happened? Is it serious?” Shu Pan had been restless all night, fearing something serious had occurred, hence Gu Shaoting’s solemn expression.

“It’s nothing. Don’t worry. I’ll tell you tomorrow. It’s late. Go to sleep,” Gu Shaoting embraced Shu Pan, then lay down beside her.

“But…” Shu Pan wanted to say more, but Gu Shaoting’s hand on her waist began to wander restlessly.

“Not tired, huh?” Gu Shaoting murmured lowly in her ear, his breath tickling her face, sending shivers down her spine.

Shu Pan quickly closed her eyes, but it was too late. Gu Shaoting was now very awake.

In the early morning, Shu Pan was still half asleep when Gu Shaoting had already taken Joy to kindergarten and returned.

Half awake, Shu Pan noticed Gu Shaoting’s return and panicked upon seeing the time—it was already past 8 0’clock. She quickly got up to get ready, realizing she was almost late.

‘Why didn’t you wake me up? I’m going to be late, and my perfect attendance award will be ruined,” Shu Pan scolded Gu Shaoting.

Ugh, why did men always have so much energy? She felt her legs weakening just thinking about it. It wasn’t fair; did men never get tired?

“Take your time, no need to rush. What’s a perfect attendance bonus anyway? I’ll compensate you,” Gu Shaoting casually remarked.

Shu Pan shot him a glare. She couldn’t let him have his way all the time.

Due to her rush, Shu Pan forgot to ask Gu Shaoting about what had happened the night before as they hurried to the office. When they arrived, she was five minutes late clocking in, making her even more resentful toward Gu Shaoting.

As Shu Pan settled into her seat, she overheard someone exclaim, “Oh my goodness, how could this happen?”

The voice sounded sharp with excitement, drawing the attention of others nearby.

Shu Pan looked up to see several colleagues gathered around, covering their mouths, seemingly in a mix of shock and excitement.

Tang Wei, who enjoyed gossip, quickly joined them. “What’s going on?”

A colleague pointed at the computer screen. “It’s a celebrity news report. My new favorite idol, Huanzi, is in a relationship! How could she be dating already? She’s so adorable! You know how popular her recent makeup advertisement is, and her career is just taking off. Why would she start dating

“Huanzi? I remember her. I’ve seen that ad. She’s really innocent-looking and beautiful. I heard she’s planning to star in a drama,” colleagues chimed in.

Shu Pan wasn’t interested in celebrity gossip, so she paid no attention.

“Hey, doesn’t this figure look familiar?” The colleague scrolled down the screen, revealing a photo of a man from behind, surprising everyone..
