Shu Pan slept until noon, stretching lazily as she saw Joy quietly playing with her toys beside her.
She reached out and touched Joy’s forehead, relieved to find that her fever was completely gone. A weight lifted off her heart.
“Are you hungry, Joy?” Shu Pan’s voice was hoarse as she just woke up.
“I had congee. Auntie gave it to ,” Joy said in her childish voice.
“That’s good. You can go out. Mommy is getting up,” Shu Pan said, planning to change her clothes.
After Joy left, Shu Pan’s phone suddenly rang.
“Congratulations, Madam,” ca Xiaong’s voice from the other end of the line.
“Why are you calling that?” Shu Pan said, a bit annoyed. She still felt a bit shy about this title.
“He Ming told about it. I never thought Gu Shaoting could be so romantic. It’s really surprising, isn’t it?” Xiaong sounded sowhat sentintal.
“I guess he read it in a book. His emotional intelligence isn’t that high,” Shu Pan quipped.
“When are you free? Let’s go out and celebrate,” Xiaong suggested.
“Joy had a fever last night. She’s fine now, but I need to keep an eye on her. I’ll make plans with you when I’m free,” Shu Pan said as she got out of bed and walked to the window.
“Is she okay now? Children are more prone to fevers and colds in this weather,” Xiaong said sympathetically.
“I know, Xiaong. Have you checked yourself? Any issues?” Shu Pan brought up the topic again.
“They say everything’s fine, but I still can’t get pregnant,” Xiaong sighed heavily, feeling dejected.
“Don’t dwell on it too much. Just go with the flow,” Shu Pan said, feeling helpless about the situation.
“Yeah, since I can’t get pregnant, I don’t plan to marry He Ming either. His mom is probably already looking for a suitable match for him,” Xiaong said, resigned to her fate. Seeing He Ming avoiding her and answering his mom’s calls, she knew it wasn’t going to end well.
She knew He Ming cared about her, but he was an only child, and she didn’t want to make things difficult for him.
“Don’t think like that. It’s just that the timing isn’t right. Relax,” Shu Pan advised.
“Heh, I’ve co to terms with it,” Xiaong said, feeling like she’s always been unlucky. She thought eting He Ming was a blessing from heaven, but who knew there would be such a hurdle?
“Xiaong…” Shu Pan sighed helplessly.
“Hey girl, do you have any ti later? How about we go out for a few days and relax?” Ye Xiaong suddenly suggested.
“Just the two of us?” Shu Pan asked.
“Yeah, I feel like I’m suffocating lately and I need to get out and clear my head,” Ye Xiaong felt like she needed so space to herself, especially since she felt caught between He Ming and Mother He.
Shu Pan thought for a mont. Joy’s kindergarten would be on break soon, and she could send Joy to her dad and Auntie Lu’s place. It would be a good ti for her to take a few days off.
“Sure, when Joy’s on break next week, I’ll send her to my dad’s place, and then we can go,” Shu Pan agreed.
“Is there any place you really want to go?” Ye Xiaong asked.
“Not really, you decide,” Shu Pan felt that Xiaong had a broader range of experiences than her.
“Okay, do you want to let Mr. Gu know first? Will he agree? Or will he worry that I may lose you?” Ye Xiaong chuckled.
“It’s fine, do I not have any freedom in my life? I’ll let him know once we’ve decided on a place,” Shu Pan didn’t think Gu Shaoting would object.
“Alright, I’ll plan out the route and then we’ll decide,” Ye Xiaong was eager to have sothing to keep her busy and distract her mind. Her current job was relatively idle, with fewer business trips, so she had a lot of ti to overthink things.
Actually, He Ming had also suggested that she go sowhere, but this ti she wanted to go on a trip with her bestie, leaving the n aside.
