Chapter 535: Disappointment

Shu Pan felt itchy with curiosity after everyone’s remarks. In fact, she was tempted to call Gu Shaoting and ask if there was any truth to it.

But then she thought, what if he hadn’t invited her originally, and her calling now would make her seem too eager? Perhaps he wasn’t telling her to surprise her in the end?

In truth, Shu Pan was quite calm inside. It was just the exaggerated words of the young girls that made her curious about experiencing it herself.

After returning home in the evening, Shu Pan didn’t bring it up. Gu Shaoting seemed busy lately, spending most of his time in the study after coming back.

Shu Pan had brought him tea and snacks a few times, and each time, he would ask for a goodnight kiss.

Tonight, as usual, Shu Pan brought him tea.

The scent of the clear tea wafted through the air, and Shu Pan could feel its fragrance even as she carried it. She took a sip stealthily. The tea was pure and mellow, leaving a lingering taste of fragrance on her lips. No wonder he liked it so much.

“Shaoting, here’s your tea, and the egg tarts I made tonight,” Shu Pan placed the tea and snacks on his desk. The desk was large, so she wasn’t worried about the documents getting in the way.

“Thank you, you’ve worked hard,” Gu Shaoting glanced up at her, then went back to reviewing the questionnaires.

“Are you going to be busy late tonight?” Shu Pan asked curiously. She was starting to envy him a bit now. Despite staying up several nights in a row, he still seemed remarkably energetic.

“Yeah, a bit. You go to bed early, don’t wait up for me,” Gu Shaoting looked up again, his gaze softened. “You’ve been worrying about the house a lot lately.”

“Not really, Auntie Li has been helping out. But why are you suddenly so busy?” Shu Pan asked, pretending to be curious. She suspected it had something to do with the upcoming anniversary celebration.

“Just a lot going on. Meetings during the day, so I have to catch up on work at night,” Gu Shaoting smiled lightly, pressing his lips together.

Shu Pan couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed. She thought he would tell her about the anniversary celebration, but he remained silent. While other employees were buzzing about it, she was left in the dark.

Well, if he didn’t want to talk about it, she wouldn’t push him. Perhaps he had his own plans, or maybe he hadn’t invited her at all? There was no need for her to make assumptions and ruin her mood.

“Okay then, don’t work too late,” Shu Pan said before leaving the room.

Gu Shaoting nodded. “Okay.”

Back in her room, Shu Pan felt empty inside. Joy wasn’t around, and she felt a bit bored.

She leaned against the headboard, picking up a book at random, but found it hard to focus.

She couldn’t deny that Gu Shaoting was attentive to her, but sometimes he seemed to overlook her feelings. Like last time, when he proposed to her. It was a simple gesture, and they hadn’t even obtained the marriage certificate yet. He hadn’t mentioned anything about a wedding either. Maybe he found it troublesome and didn’t want to bother?

Men could be careless sometimes, easily overlooking a woman’s inner feelings.

Shu Pan drifted off to sleep in a daze. She had no idea when Gu Shaoting returned to the room.

Gu Shaoting gently took the book from Shu Pan’s hand and leaned down to place a kiss on her soft lips. He sensed that she had something on her mind tonight, but if she didn’t speak up, he couldn’t guess.

Well, it was late now. He would have to ask her about it tomorrow.
