Chapter 459: Unable to Shirk

Such a spoiled heiress, accustomed to having her own way—how could he possibly guide her?

Wasn’t this just bringing trouble home? Who knew what kind of mess she might cause?

Seeing Gu Shaoting hesitate without speaking, Mr. John spoke again, “Shaoting, consider it a favor to me.”

Seeing him plead again, Gu Shaoting had no choice but to agree.

“You’re welcome. It’s not really helping; Miss Charlene is smart and capable.

There’s nothing much to teach her. It wouldn’t hurt to go out and relax a bit, ” Gu Shaoting said lightly, knowing he couldn’t avoid this matter.

“Great! Thank you, Big Brother!” Charlene wanted to scream with joy. She had been waiting for this moment for so long; now she could finally get close to Big Brother Gu. She had fallen for him at first sight when she saw him last time, but she had been longing for a chance. Now it seemed like fate was on her side.

“Thank you, Shaoting.” Mr. John then turned to Charlene and said, “Listen to his guidance and don’t cause any trouble.”

“Daddy, I understand. I’ll go out to learn for a while and come back soon. I’ll miss you,” Charlene’s words were as sweet as honey, melting Mr. John’s heart.

Mr. John shook his head with a smile. She was truly a spoiled girl.

Because Charlene needed to handle some paperwork, she didn’t go back with Gu Shaoting. She would call him later when she arrived.

With things settled, Gu Shaoting was eager to return home.

But he didn’t tell Shu Pan the exact time of his return, planning to surprise her.

After getting off the plane, he headed straight home. It happened to be the weekend, so they should both be at home.

Shu Pan had just woken up when she suddenly heard some noise in the living room.

Glancing outside, she noticed it wasn’t very bright yet. Could it be a mouse? But this was a high-end residential area; she had never seen mice here before. Could it be a thief?

Shu Pan couldn’t help but feel nervous. She had become quite paranoid lately, especially when Gu Shaoting wasn’t around. She felt particularly secure when he was home.

Before she could think too much, she suddenly heard the faint sound of a door opening from outside.

Shu Pan became even more tense. She pulled the blanket tighter around herself, watching the direction of the door in the dim darkness.

Soon enough, she saw a tall, familiar figure at the doorway, accompanied by Gu Shaoting’s distinctive clean and refreshing scent.

Shu Pan blinked, feeling stunned. Was she hallucinating due to missing him?

But as the figure drew closer and became clearer, she immediately sat up in bed. “Shaoting?”

The man paused in his steps. Before he could say anything, Shu Pan had already thrown off the covers and rushed to the bedroom door. Gu Shaoting caught sight of her and immediately pulled her into his arms.

Turning on the light, Gu Shaoting furrowed his brows slightly. “Why are you awake so early?”

It was just past 6 in the morning.

“Well, last night, Joy and I went to bed very early.” Seeing Gu Shaoting, Shu Pan felt nothing but surprise; all her drowsiness vanished.

She asked in amazement, “Shaoting, why did you come back so soon? And without telling me beforehand?”

Wasn’t it supposed to be more than a week? It hadn’t been that long yet.

With one arm still holding her, Gu Shaoting reached out and gently smoothed her tangled hair. “Missed you. From now on, whenever I go on a business trip, I’ll make sure to take you with me.”

Feeling a sweet warmth in her heart, Shu Pan responded, “Taking me on a business trip? That’s not like going on vacation.”

As she spoke, Gu Shaoting had already laid her down on the bed. His large hand touched her foot, and he felt a chill. He furrowed his brows..
