Chapter 57 - 57: Lost Happiness (1)



He entered the room and found the living room quiet, with the sound of running water coming from the bathroom.

Shu Pan was in the middle of a shower. After finishing, she realized with dismay that she had forgotten to bring her nightgown. Fortunately, Gu Shaoting hadn’t left yet; otherwise, things could have gotten awkward. sne nastily wrapped nerselt In a DatnroDe ana stepped out, clutcmng tne roDe•s front. Just as she was about to enter the room, she froze. Gu Shaoting had returned, and he was staring at her!

In front of him stood Shu Pan, an enchanting sight. Her rosy face gleamed in the light, and her slender legs were smooth and well-proportioned. The low-cut bathrobe revealed a hint of her inner allure.

For some reason, Gu Shaoting found the contours in front of Shu Pan even more captivating. The softness he once held in his hands seemed fuller and more upright.

Gu Shaoting felt like a cat that hadn’t eaten fish in a long time, excited by the scent of it. At this moment, his mind went blank, and a surge of heat rushed through him.

She was his wife, and he had countless reasons, ones that could withstand legal, moral, and gossipy scrutiny. At this very moment, he wanted to fiercely embrace her, to lose himself in her.

Simultaneously, he acted upon this urge. He strode forward, suddenly pulling Shu Pan into his embrace. But he found that his two hands weren’t enough; her shoulders were too narrow. He pressed closer, wanting to envelop Shu Pan within himself.

And so, he acted upon it, taking big strides forward and suddenly embracing

Shu Pan.

Outside, the first light of dawn began to seep through. Shu Pan was still sleeping soundly, her small hand clutching the blanket tightly.

Gu Shaoting looked at the sleeping Shu Pan. This woman had been constantly igniting the fire within him, and it seemed that only she could drive him to be unable to control his desires.

Using the faint indoor light, he looked at the peaceful sleeping figure of the woman. Her cheeks were flushed, and her deep eyes held a hint of something different, an indescribable feeling in his heart.

In reality, under the current circumstances, there was always a sense of estrangement between him and her. Shu Laide’s presence was a constant reminder, a thorn reminding him of his father’s death.

This thorn was lodged in his throat now, unable to be pulled out. He wanted to ignore it, but it would occasionally sting him, making it difficult to forget.

He knew she wanted a divorce. Actually, given his personality, he would usually cut through such matters decisively. Yet, in this particular issue, he remained indecisive.

Every time he saw her, his desire burned strongly.

Feeling conflicted, he stood by the window, lost in thought.

After daybreak, he left.

By the time Shu Pan woke up, it was already quite late. She closed her eyes, gave her head a slight pat, and tried to retrieve memories of yesterday from her mind.

The scenes slowly replayed before her, and she sat on the bed in confusion, her gaze vacant, unresponsive for a long time.

Warm sunlight streamed in through the gaps in the curtains, illuminating her eyes and reflecting a hint of glistening radiance.

She slowly got out of bed and took a leisurely bath.

Amidst the steam, she also felt a sense of relief. Thankfully, Gu Shaoting had been gentle the previous night, not harming their precious baby. However, such a situation couldn’t happen again.

What should she do? Even if she left, he could find her anywhere, across the ends of the earth.

Moreover, her family and friends were all here. Where else could she go?

Her thoughts were interrupted by the vibrations of her phone.

“Hello!” Her voice sounded somewhat hoarse.

“Hey, what’s wrong? Are you sick?” Ye Xiaomeng’s voice came through the phone.

“Hey, if you’re okay, would you accompany me to the mall for a bit? I’m practically growing mold here. Cheng Yang is away on a business trip, and I’m bored out of my mind. I want to buy some loose maternity clothes. I won’t have anything to wear once my belly gets bigger.” Ye Xiaomeng vented over the phone.

“Sure, see you later.” Shu Pan agreed readily.

Before long, Shu Pan, dressed warmly, hurriedly left the house.

Outside, the world was wrapped in a silvery glow, and several children were playing by the side of the street.

In various shopping malls, banners advertising discounts were hanging everywhere, and various promotions were ongoing.

Ye Xiaomeng seemed to be buying things as if they were free. She bought a discounted bag, a coat, and seeing the sweater she had liked before was now half-priced, she excitedly bought it. Then, she saw a scarf from the same brand that she liked and included that as well.

“Xiaomeng, isn’t that enough? Watch your wallet,” Shu Pan said, seeing her friend buying things without hesitation.

“It’s fine. Cheng Yang got promoted, and he’s earning more now, so I want to help spend a bit,” Ye Xiaomeng said proudly.

“Well, now you’re a wealthy lady. I’ll have to flatter you,” Shu Pan laughed, feeling envious of Xiaomeng at times.

Indeed, happiness was simple. Having a man who loved you was stronger than anything else.

Xiaomeng had quite a haul and was in high spirits.

“Hey, let’s go eat something. We’ve been wandering around for so long, and my son is getting hungry,” Xiaomeng said, rubbing her stomach. She felt like she could eat a whole cow.

“Alright, let’s go to the second floor of the mall and have a bowl of noodles,”

Shu Pan suggested, looking for a place closer by since her friend seemed tired..
