However, Gu Shaoting chose not to press the issue, knowing everyone has their little secrets, and Shu Pan’s was likely nothing serious.

He gave Shu Pan a meaningful glance before walking over to Xiaobao’s crib. Bending down to look at the sleeping baby, he found him even more adorable. Xiaobao’s thick black hair and chubby cheeks made Gu Shaoting want to nibble on him.

Xiaobao slept peacefully, while Gu Shaoting’s deep gaze fell on Shu Pan’s face, filled with unspoken emotions.

“Are you nervous?” Gu Shaoting asked.

Shu Pan shyly nodded.

“Don’t worry, let’s take things naturally,” Gu Shaoting reassured her. He didn’t want to rush her. Over time, he had learned to manage his own desires. He could wait.

Yet, the intensity in his eyes was unmistakable.

“I’m sorry, Honey. I’ll try to adjust as soon as I can,” Shu Pan said apologetically. She was still too nervous, and trying too hard only made her more uncomfortable.

“It’s okay, take your time. I believe that day will come soon,” Gu Shaoting said, kissing her gently on the temple. Shu Pan held his hand and nodded.

…

The next day, Shu Pan got up after Gu Shaoting had already left for work.

Since Xiaobao needed feeding during the night, Shu Pan woke up frequently, so she had been getting up later in the mornings recently.

After getting out of bed and having breakfast, she checked the time and found it was still early. She had plans to go shopping with Ye Xiaomeng later.

She had arranged the outing with Ye Xiaomeng after talking with the other moms the night before, hoping to get some advice from her.

After dropping Joy off at school, Gu Shaoting headed to the office. Xiaobao, ever the good baby, played quietly in his crib after finishing his milk. Shu Pan informed Auntie Li and the nanny that she had some errands to run.

Xiaomeng was also enjoying some free time, as Mother He had been visiting her granddaughter daily and had even decided to stay over to avoid the hassle of traveling back and forth. This left Xiaomeng free and relaxed.

When Shu Pan arrived, Ye Xiaomeng happily linked arms with her. “Hey, girl, how long has it been since we went shopping together like this?”

Shu Pan thought for a moment. “It’s been almost half a year, I guess. Ever since the baby came, I haven’t been able to find the time.”

“Yeah, once you have kids, they become your main focus,” Shu Pan said with a sigh. It’s a trade-off, after all.

“True, but when I think of their adorable faces, it’s all worth it,” Ye Xiaomeng said with a smile. “Today, I’m going to shop till I make up for all the lost time.”

Ye Xiaomeng declared her intention to fully enjoy her rare day of freedom. Since it was almost noon, Shu Pan suggested they grab a bite to eat before starting their shopping spree. They chose a Western restaurant for its pleasant ambiance and because spicy food was off-limits for her now.

After ordering, Shu Pan glanced around. The restaurant was almost empty, probably because it was still early.

They sat near the floor-to-ceiling windows. Despite being with her bestie, Shu Pan found it difficult to bring up the topic on her mind.

Ye Xiaomeng noticed her hesitation. “Spill it, girl. What’s on your mind?” she prompted.

“Xiaomeng, how’s your… bedroom life with He Ming?” Shu Pan blurted out, spurred on by Ye Xiaomeng’s encouragement.

Ye Xiaomeng was taken aback, not expecting such a question. She felt a bit embarrassed.

“Why do you ask? Are you and Shaoting… having issues?” Ye Xiaomeng inquired.

“I’m a bit nervous about it. It’s been so long since we last… you know. I just can’t get over it,” Shu Pan admitted, clearly distressed.
