Chapter 271 - 271: A Cheap Handbag



“What bag?” Shu Pan looked at Gu Shaoting in confusion.

“It’s for you.” This was the first time Gu Shaoting got a gift for a woman. He was a little nervous and worried that she wouldn’t like it.

“I have enough bags. This must be very expensive, right?” Shu Pan knew that Gu Shaoting would not buy cheap things because in his mind, cheap things weren’t good. He was a person who lived well.

“I don’t want it. Please take it back and get a refund.” She would not accept his gift for no reason.

“Throw it away if you don’t want it. It’s a cheap AAA-grade imitation. Secretary Zhang bought one for his girlfriend, and I asked him to buy one for me too.” Gu Shaoting racked his brain for an excuse.

Was there anyone more miserable than him? Why was it so difficult to give her a present?

“Is it really an imitation? Why does it look so real?” Shu Pan couldn’t believe that luxury bags could be faked so well now.

She had never used branded handbags before, so she didn’t know how they were supposed to look.

But this handbag was superior in both material and craftsmanship. “How much is it? I’ll pay you back.” Shu Pan felt that they should keep their money separate.

Gu Shaoting looked hurt. It was such a big blow to him for his intentions to be misinterpreted like that.

“Don’t. I come here often for meals but I never paid you back. Just take this as my groceries contribution.” Gu Shaoting felt extremely depressed.

Why couldn’t Shu Pan be like other women?

If it were any other woman who got this handbag, she would be so ecstatic that she would just kiss him!

“Uncle, do you like my Mommy? Is it why you got her a present?” Joy was a precocious kid. The things she said sometimes made people want to kiss her.

“Yes, Uncle likes your Mommy.” Gu Shaoting admitted openly. Shu Pan felt awkward. “Stop talking nonsense, Joy.”

Joy covered her mouth and laughed.

During dinner, Joy looked at Shu Pan and then at Gu Shaoting. She felt very happy because that was the family she always wanted, with a mother and a

father.

Finally, He Ming and Ye Xiaomeng were coming home.

“Brother Ting, we’ll be back at Bin City around 5 p.m. today. Let’s have dinner together.” He Ming asked Gu Shaoting out mainly to introduce Ye Xiaomeng to him.

He didn’t mean to show off or anything. He just wanted to share his good news with everyone.

Gu Shaoting checked his calendar. He had no important meetings after this, so he said, “Sure.”

“Then let’s meet at Gathered Dragon at 7 p.m. tonight!”

Gu Shaoting gave a perfunctory “okay” and was about to hang up when He Ming’s voice sounded over the phone, “Brother Ting, there will be no outsiders tonight. Bring Shu Pan and Joy along for dinner.”

He Ming knew that Ye Xiaomeng and Shu Pan were good friends. He also wanted to let Shu Pan know that he and Xiaomeng were in love. Gu Shaoting didn’t think too much about it and said a quick okay before he hung up.

Gu Shaoting’s heart softened when He Ming mentioned Shu Pan. He picked up his mobile from the table and dialed Shu Pan’s number.

As soon as the call was connected, he received a new email on his computer. He said as he opened his email, “Panpan, are you busy? Let’s go out for dinner tonight.’

“I just finished work. Why are we eating out?” Shu Pan frowned. Eating out was expensive. Although the food might be delicious, food hygiene was worrying.

“He Ming has a girlfriend now and he would like to introduce her to us.” Gu Shaoting explained.

In Shu Pan’s mind, He Ming was his friend.. It was perfectly normal for He Ming to introduce his girlfriend to him but why should she tag along?
