Chapter 952: 951
Shu Pan was close to falling asleep when she finally heard the sound of the door opening at the entrance.
She softly opened the door and saw Gu Shaoting walking over sowhat unsteadily, it seed he had drunk a bit at the evening’s social event. Shu Pan quickly went forward to support him.
Suddenly, she faintly slled a whiff of perfu. It wasn’t the scent of cologne but Chanel’s No.5, a fragrance she was quite familiar with since a colleague of hers was a devout fan of this perfu. She often slled it and didn’t particularly dislike it.
So doubts ford in her heart, doubts she couldn’t dispel. How could he have acquired the scent of perfu?
“Dear, I’m thirsty. I don’t want to drink alcohol. I promised my dear I wouldn’t drink…” He was beginning to talk nonsense, still aware of listening to his wife? But then, he ca ho intoxicated.
Shu Pan felt annoyed and decided to ignore him, so she took a glass of water to drink and went to rest by herself.
A deep sense of disappointnt suddenly surged in her heart. Was she now facing the so-called “seven-year itch”? Many things that could have been communicated in the past were now of no interest to discuss. It seed pointless to talk, and she felt it was necessary to take the edge off his arrogance.
It was the sa morning, on the sa sofa, when Gu Shaoting woke up. He sighed, recalling that he had dined with President Wang from the Qitian company the night before. President Wang could really hold his liquor, and Gu Shaoting felt dizzy after just two drinks. Looking at himself today, he probably aggravated Shu Pan again.
In the future, he would leave social engagents to the public relations departnt.
After he got up and washed, he went to the company. When he arrived, Xia Xiaoqiao was already standing at the door with a smile, “Good morning, Mr. Gu.”
“Good morning.” Gu Shaoting rembered that last night he had attended the event with Secretary Xia and Manager Li from the sales departnt. He was a bit dizzy by the end of it and couldn’t rember so parts of the evening.
He returned to his seat and had just sat down when he heard a knock on the door. “Co in.”
“Mr. Gu, this is a secret recipe for relieving a hangover, very effective, it’s orange honey tea. I saw you drank a lot last night, give it a try, it can help alleviate your headache,” Xia Xiaoqiao explained tenderly.
“Okay, thank you.” Gu Shaoting felt a warmth in his heart; he couldn’t deny that his secretary was very attentive, and he was indeed suffering from a headache at the mont.
“Then drink it while it’s warm, I’ll be leaving now.” After saying this, she left, leaving a faint scent of perfu in the air that was quite soothing.
Gu Shaoting held the glass and took a sip. It wasn’t overly sweet, had a citrus fragrance, and was quite pleasant to drink, so he continued to drink several more mouthfuls.
After drinking a cup of tea, he felt much better, and his throat wasn’t as dry anymore.
He pursed his lips, picked up his phone, and dialed Shu Pan’s number. Soon there was a pleasant ringtone from the other end. Just as the call was about to disconnect automatically, Shu Pan’s voice ca through.
“What is it?” Shu Pan’s voice was indifferent and emotionless.
“Uh, I ca back late yesterday, sorry. I drank a little too much, and I still have a bit of a headache.” Gu Shaoting feigned pitifulness to elicit sympathy, but Shu Pan wasn’t that easily swayed; she always had her principles.
“Oh. If you’re happy with that.” Shu Pan’s attitude remained very cold.
Gu Shaoting knew he had made a mistake, as his frequent drinking during business engagents was becoming too common, no wonder Shu Pan was so repulsed by it.
“Actually, if you ruin your health by drinking, that’s your own business. I’ve heard that many won have a better marriage the second ti around,” Shu Pan blurted out, not knowing what she was thinking.
Those words struck Gu Shaoting deeply. What did she an by that? Was this woman implying that if he died, she would remarry? Find a second chance at love? Soone even better than him?
