On the way home, Ye Xiaomeng tightly clutched the test results, as if holding onto a precious treasure.
Shu Pan, seeing this, felt deeply relieved. “He Ming will be overjoyed.”
“Yeah, but I’m not telling him yet. Next week is his birthday, and I plan to surprise him then,” Ye Xiaomeng said with delight.
Shu Pan knew Xiaomeng was mischievous like that; she wouldn’t just spill the beans to He Ming.
Days flew by quickly. Gu Shaoting seemed busy these days, and whenever he received calls, he would avoid her. Shu Pan found it mysterious but didn’t pry. After all, she didn’t understand his work matters.
One evening, Gu Shaoting looked at Shu Pan sitting on the couch and said,
“Honey, I have some work matters to attend to and will be away for a few days. If you need anything, remember to call me. And don’t forget to miss me.” Seeing how busy he had been lately, Shu Pan could guess.
“Is it going to be difficult?” she asked anxiously, knowing that if he had to handle it personally, it must be complicated.
Indeed, it was complicated because it was part of Gu Shaoting’s plan. He intended to hold their wedding ceremony in Bali over the weekend.
He wanted to surprise her, so he hadn’t told her in advance.
He knew she still had regrets about not wearing a wedding dress. Last time they were shopping together, she had lingered in front of a gown for a long time, until he approached her. She thought he didn’t notice, but he saw every expression on her face.
So, this time, he quietly made preparations. The day after they got their marriage certificate, he started planning. He chose Bali because it was the perfect wedding destination—romantic, beautiful, with pleasant weather. The weather in Bin City was getting cold, and he worried she wouldn’t get to wear a beautiful wedding dress there.
“Well, I think I can handle it. Don’t worry, ” Gu Shaoting said with a smile.
“Alright, then. Let me help you pack,” Shu Pan said, getting up to go to the bedroom to pack.
“No need. I’ve already packed,” Gu Shaoting stopped her, then pulled her onto his lap, wrapping his arms around her waist.
Resting his head on her shoulder, he planted a gentle kiss. Shu Pan felt ticklish but warm inside.
“Yeah, I’ll manage. Don’t worry,” Gu Shaoting said with a smile.
“Okay, that’s good. Shall I help you pack?” Shu Pan stood up, intending to go back to the bedroom to pack.
“No need, I’ve already packed,” Gu Shaoting stopped her, then pulled her onto his lap, wrapping his arms around her waist.
Resting his head on her shoulder, he planted a gentle kiss. Shu Pan felt a bit ticklish but warm inside.
The wedding was scheduled for Sunday, and today was Thursday. Gu Shaoting was flying to Bali tomorrow.
Although Shu Pan had to work, she felt quite uneasy without Mr. Gu at home all of a sudden.
After Mr. Gu left on his business trip, it seemed he got even busier. He called to say he arrived safely on the day he landed, but since then, there had been no news.
On Saturday, Gu Huanhuan suddenly came over. “Sis, pack your bags. We’re leaving for Bali this afternoon.”
Shu Pan was utterly surprised. “Why are we going to Bali?”
“My brother arranged it. You’ll find out when we get there,” Gu Huanhuan said mysteriously.
What kind of scheme were these siblings plotting?
“Don’t worry, everything, including the plane tickets, is all taken care of. Joy will be looked after, so you don’t have to worry. Just relax,” Gu Huanhuan assured her.
When Gu Huanhuan heard her brother’s plan, she truly admired him. When did her brother become so romantic? He used to be so aloof and arrogant. Now? He was like a devoted husband and father, putting his wife and daughter first in everything.
“Okay.” Since it was arranged by Gu Shaoting, she was curious about what was going on and agreed to go.
In the afternoon, Shu Pan and Gu Huanhuan took a direct flight to Bali. Upon arrival at the airport, the hotel sent a car to pick them up..
