Gu Shaoting’s face instantly darkened.
He thought Shu Pan now had a strong backing and was speaking with confidence.
He pictured her laughing and chatting with that man, her eyes filled with a light-hearted smile while treating him coldly.
“I’d like to meet Joy. Please arrange a time whenever it’s convenient,” Gu Shaoting’s tone shifted as he expressed his desire to see Joy.
“I don’t know how to explain it to her yet. Gu Shaoting, our life is quite peaceful now. Why do you want to disrupt it?” Shu Pan took a deep breath.
Box Novel.com“She’s my daughter, and you should’ve known she’d bear my name when you gave birth to her,” Gu Shaoting’s words were devoid of warmth.
“Are you sure you genuinely want a child? Don’t forget you had me take birth control pills. Do you know those pills have side effects? Where were you when I was pregnant, or when our child was sick? Now you suddenly want a child?” Shu Pan grew more and more furious. She found his behavior utterly unreasonable.
Gu Shaoting’s grip on his phone tightened. “You didn’t tell me you were pregnant…”
“If I tell you, and there’ll be no Joy. You can pretend not to know. If you still have a conscience, please spare us,” Shu Pan said with no energy left to argue.
“Never.” Gu Shaoting’s words had just fallen when he hung up the phone.
Gu Shaoting was left panting angrily. He was furious, as he had never realized that Shu Pan could be so outspoken.
Shu Pan lay on her bed, pondering their past, sighing repeatedly. She wondered how she could have fallen for such a despicable person.
In fact, she knew that when Joy followed him, their life was more comfortable, unlike their current situation. However, would Tong Fei treat Joy well? Certainly not, she knew how deep Tong Fei’s hatred for her ran.
Shu Pan eventually drifted off to sleep in a daze.
Lately, Ye Xiaomeng had been pestered by He Ming. No matter how much she scowled at him, he acted as if he couldn’t see it. She had never encountered someone with such thick skin.
“Where’s Little Princess Joy? Haven’t seen her around lately,” He Ming had been secretly envious of Gu Shaoting. Joy had appeared out of nowhere, while he wondered why he wasn’t that fortunate.
“She’s at school. Lately, Shu Pan’s been looking after her. She was suddenly bitten by her deadbeat father,” the disgust in Ye Xiaomeng’s tone was palpable.
He Ming’s heart sank. He didn’t dare reveal that he knew Joy’s “deadbeat father.”
“Oh, what happened between Shu Pan and Joy’s dad?” He Ming pretended not to know Gu Shaoting.
“He’s a jerk, that’s the verdict. Seeing someone like him makes me want to punch them. Always.” Ye Xiaomeng spoke through gritted teeth.
He Ming silently cursed Gu Shaoting for dragging him into this situation. If Ye Xiaomeng ever found out he was friends with Gu Shaoting…
He Ming massaged his temples with his hand, feeling a headache coming on.
“Hey, don’t you have work? Why do you keep coming over here?” Ye Xiaomeng gave He Ming a puzzled look.
“Work isn’t as important as you. I’m not busy.” He Ming quickly assured her.
“Smooth talker. Just get to work,” Ye Xiaomeng was exasperated. He Ming’s shamelessness surpassed all bounds.
“I’d rather keep you company,” He Ming insisted.
Ye Xiaomeng couldn’t help but roll her eyes. However, because of He Ming’s relentless pursuit, her pain over cutting ties with Cheng Yang had been reduced somewhat, though it was unintentional.
Cheng Yang still called occasionally, but Ye Xiaomeng had already blocked him. If they couldn’t be together, it was better to let go and start new lives, finally leaving the past behind..
