Chapter 506: Fate

“If you two get along so well, why not spend more time together? Isn’t it trendy nowadays to have godmothers and goddaughters?” Song Can’s friend teased as she watched them chatting enthusiastically.

She knew Song Can was too lonely, always fretting over her son and his ex-wife.

In fact, as her good friends, they had advised her many times to let go and trust that her son would find happiness.

But Song Can couldn’t do it. Because she liked Tong Fei before, she couldn’t accept the one her son liked.

People sometimes get more confused as they get older.

“Yeah, Charlene, we seem to hit it off. We should meet up for tea or shopping sometime. As we get older, we also want to bask in the vitality of the young,” Song Can said with a smile.

“Sure thing, Auntie,” Charlene felt that coming out to shop tonight was a very wise decision. It seemed her sincerity had touched the heavens, giving her such a great opportunity. It must be said that the world was really small. In such a place, she met the person she was looking for.

Xiaoyu returned from the neighboring store and saw them chatting happily together, so she went over to greet them.

Seeing that it was getting late, Charlene and Song Can exchanged numbers, and then Charlene left with Xiaoyu.

“Charlene, was that really Mr. Gu’s mother?” Xiaoyu asked, somewhat puzzled.

“I don’t know, I didn’t ask,” Charlene didn’t want Xiaoyu to know too much, to avoid unnecessary gossip.

Back at the hotel, Charlene put away her loot and immediately sent a message to Gu Shaoting, “Brother Gu, I didn’t see you back at the office this afternoon. Are you okay?”

The message was full of concern.

After sending it, she waited for a long time without hearing her phone ring.

Charlene disappointedly set down her phone and decided to take a shower and go to bed.

Just before going to sleep, her phone chimed. Charlene quickly picked it up and saw it was from Gu Shaoting, containing only one cold word, “fine.”

Charlene pursed her lips and slowly put down the phone, knowing that even if she replied, he probably wouldn’t respond again.

She lay in bed, tossing and turning, her mind a jumble of thoughts.

In a daze, she thought of something. She should find an apartment first. It wasn’t possible to keep staying in a hotel.

Hmm, she would ask Secretary Zhang about it tomorrow.

…

Because Joy had a high fever, Gu Shaoting and Shu Pan didn’t dare to leave her side for a moment, taking care of her tirelessly.

After Shu Pan gave Joy some fever-reducing medicine and was already exhausted.

“You go and rest, I’ll take over,” Gu Shaoting looked at Shu Pan with concern. Being a mother was truly admirable. He wasn’t there when this happened. He wondered how she managed during that time.

“It’s okay. Aren’t you signing a contract tomorrow? Get some rest. She has taken the medicine now. After her fever goes down, I’ll wipe her sweat and then take a nap,” Shu Pan insisted, worried about Gu Shaoting’s lack of experience in taking care of a sick child.

Gu Shaoting couldn’t argue with her and could only listen.

Throughout the night, Shu Pan dozed off for only half an hour.

Worried that Joy might have another fever, Shu Pan felt dizzy when she woke up in the morning.

Fortunately, Joy didn’t have a fever again. Shu Pan took the day off to take care of her, while Gu Shaoting left early.

Today, he had an early meeting and a contract signing.

Seeing how tired Shu Pan was, Gu Shaoting arranged for Mrs. Li to come and help cook porridge and meals, allowing Shu Pan to rest for a while.

It seemed like they needed to move to Qiyuan as soon as possible.
