Chapter 503: He Has A Fiancée?

Mr. Zhang saw the table full of dishes as he sat down. He was so shocked that his mouth fell open in a gape of astonishment.

“You… You ordered so many dishes for yourself?” Mr. Zhang was starting to question his life. This kind of behavior was too extravagant and wasteful.

“No, these were ordered by Brother Gu. It’s meant to be my welcome lunch. He even asked me to invite you. But someone called Brother Gu just now and he suddenly left to deal with something urgent.”

Charlene watched Mr. Zhang’s expression closely, hoping to discover some non-verbal clues.

“Something urgent? It’s probably a private matter. I’m not aware of any emergencies at work.” Mr. Zhang blurted out.

Charlene got the answer she wanted. She initially thought that it was Mr. Zhang who called Gu Shaoting away.

It seemed like it was a private matter.

“Maybe. Maybe something happened to his family.” Charlene put down her chopsticks and said worriedly.

“Don’t worry about CEO Gu. He can solve any problem.” Mr. Zhang said as he ate.

“Maybe it’s about his girlfriend?” Charlene probed.

“Girlfriend?” Mr. Zhang paused before he said with a smile, “Let me share a gossip with you. CEO Gu doesn’t have a girlfriend, but he has a fiancée. They are probably getting married soon.”

“Fiancée?” Charlene was shocked; that wasn’t an acceptable answer to her.

She almost lost her composure, but fortunately, she managed to control herself. Mr. Zhang was busy eating and not paying attention to her.

“That’s right. He just proposed not long ago. Their wedding is probably around the corner.” Mr. Zhang was very happy for CEO Gu as he finally got the woman of his dreams.

After all the ups and downs, true love found its way.

But he didn’t want to tell Charlene too much. He just wanted to let her know that CEO Gu was taken.

“Brother Gu’s fiancée must be as beautiful as a goddess.” Charlene sounded a little forlorn as she muttered.

“She’s very gentle and considerate. A very nice lady.” Mr. Zhang didn’t want Charlene to fall further for Gu Shaoting.

He had already noticed Charlene’s interest in his boss after spending two days with her. It was better for her to drop the idea as soon as possible.

Her interest in CEO Gu was understandable. After all, most women who had met him fell for his charm.

Charlene stopped talking and ate quietly.

Only she knew how bland the food tasted in her mouth.

She suddenly had a strong desire to meet Gu Shaoting’s fiancée.

She wanted to see what she was like. Charlene didn’t think that she was inferior to his fiancée. Brother Gu probably hadn’t seen her good qualities because they had spent so little time together.

Charlene sipped her soup slowly and her expression returned to normal.

Gu Shaoting arrived at Shu Pan’s office to pick her up.

“I ate a little lunch. What did Joy’s teacher say? Why did she suddenly have a fever?” Gu Shaoting asked worriedly.

“It’s probably a throat inflammation. She’s been coughing the past two days.” It was common for children to catch a cold or get the flu.

“Then, it’s probably not something serious.” Gu Shaoting comforted Shu Pan quickly to ease her anxiety.

“Weren’t you at a welcome lunch? It’s not nice to leave suddenly like that.” Shu Pan wondered if she had made a mountain out of a molehill.

This wasn’t the first time Joy had a fever. It happened throughout her childhood. She used to be strong and decisive and took Joy to the doctor right away when she had a fever in the past. But now that she had Gu Shaoting, she relied on him for everything.

She would think of him for even the smallest thing.

“It’s fine. We’re just ordinary friends.” Gu Shaoting said plainly.

Shu Pan didn’t probe further after hearing his words.

When they arrived at the kindergarten, the two of them got Joy and took her to a hospital.
