Tong Fei stayed in the hospital for two days and was then discharged. During that time, Gu Shaoting also visited her a few times.
On the day Tong Fei was leaving the hospital, reporters from nowhere appeared. She wore sunglasses, and Gu Shaoting had his arm around her. Suddenly, several microphones were thrust in front of them, “Mr. Gu, there have been many reports recently about you and Miss Tong Fei being in a relationship. Miss Tong had an accident, and we see how you’ve been taking care of her. Could this be a sign of a forthcoming good news?”
“Sorry, I’ve never bothered explaining rumors. We’re in a hurry, please step aside,” Gu Shaoting’s demeanor remained unchanged from start to finish, his voice was calm, though his slightly furrowed brows showed a hint of impatience.
Pushing through the crowd, they returned to their car.
“Sorry, Shaoting, because I’m a public figure, it brings attention to you as well. I’m disturbing your life,” Tong Fei’s words were filled with guilt.
“It’s not your fault. It’s those reporters being too annoying,” Gu Shaoting looked ahead and started the car.
After dropping Tong Fei off at home, Gu Shaoting returned to the company.
“Mr. Gu, you’re finally back. The construction director from the Lotus Town resort just called to say they’re ready to start construction. If you’re available, would you like to go and take a look?” Assistant Zhang seemed relieved to see Gu Shaoting, who had been elusive for the past two days. The Lotus Town resort project was currently a significant focus for the company.
“Alright, I’ll go tomorrow. You can accompany me to take a look,” Gu Shaoting immediately agreed. It was time to see the site in person. He had been relying solely on blueprints and renderings.
The next day, by the time they reached Lotus Town, it was already noon. Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t cooperating. It had started drizzling.
Gu Shaoting felt cold droplets of water on his face. Looking up, he realized raindrops were falling from the sky.
He hurried to the entrance of the hotel where he was staying. As the revolving door of the hotel opened, someone was coming out. He didn’t pay much attention and quickly walked inside.
Shu Pan had just stepped out of the revolving door and was dismayed to see that it had started drizzling. She had come to the hotel to deliver some flowers, but she hadn’t anticipated rain.
Thankfully, it was just a light rain. She used her bag to shield her head and walked toward a nearby flower shop.
Coincidentally, Assistant Zhang parked the car and was about to enter the hotel when he saw Shil Pan’s figure in the distance. He stopped in his tracks.
watching her walk away. He muttered to himself, “Isn’t that Madam? What’s she doing here?”
Was he seeing things, or had his nearsightedness gotten worse?
Lost in thought for a moment, he shook his head and then strode into the hotel.
They had lunch at the hotel, rested for a while, and then left.
Assistant Zhang took the driver’s seat and started the car. The rain was still light. As they drove away from the hotel, he stole glances at his boss in the rearview mirror.
He saw Gu Shaoting leaning back in the rear seat, resting with his eyes closed. Assistant Zhang couldn’t suppress his curiosity and broke the silence.
“Mr. Gu, is Madam also in Lotus Town?”
“What Madam?” Gu Shaoting opened his eyes and furrowed his brows slightly.
“Your wife, Mr. Gu. Don’t you have only one Mrs.?” Assistant Zhang couldn’t help but think in his mind.
“Oh, I’m not sure. Why do you ask?” Gu Shaoting sounded a bit puzzled.
“I thought I saw a figure that looked like Madam just now, so I wanted to confirm with you,” Assistant Zhang explained.
“It’s unlikely. This place is far less appealing than Bin City. It’s suitable for a short vacation, but not very convenient for daily life.”
Assistant Zhang nodded..
