Chapter 538: A Perfect Match

He felt uncomfortable being caught in the middle, but he couldn’t offend his mother, or she might cause trouble for Shu Pan when he wasn’t paying attention.

Gu Huanhuan, unlike her usual lively self, also dressed up very elegantly early in the morning, looking very ladylike.

Why was she being so obedient? Because last time she took Shu Pan to attend a banquet, they almost got into trouble, and Gu Shaoting scolded her thoroughly. So now she’s learned to behave.

Shu Pan smiled and told her not to be too uptight. Last time was an accident, but Gu Huanhuan still felt uneasy. Now, she stayed close to Shu Pan, watching carefully, afraid that something might happen again.

Almost all the invited guests had arrived. Gu Shaoting held Shu Pan and Joy’s hands and walked to the front, introducing them to everyone and saying some polite words, inviting everyone to enjoy the feast.

Although it was called a family banquet, it wasn’t too formal. The main focus of such gatherings with close friends and relatives was on comfort.

The weather today was very nice, so the main venue for the family banquet was set up on the lawn in front of the villa. After careful arrangement by professionals, the whole area looked romantic and cozy.

There were flower stands everywhere, and more than a dozen long tables with light blue patterns were arranged into a large square table, filled with fine wines and delicacies for the guests.

There were exquisite and delicious snacks, as well as various fresh dishes. Some fruits were even shaped artistically, making them visually appealing.

Just looking at them made one’s mouth water, arousing a hearty appetite.

There were wines like red wine, brandy, whiskey, etc., perfect for indulging in a few glasses.

The guests, men and women, numbered over a hundred. The men were mostly dressed in suits like Gu Shaoting, while the women’s attire varied, some wearing dresses, others wearing coats, each with their own charm.

This time, unfortunately, Grandpa couldn’t come due to health reasons. Due to his advanced age and limited mobility, he has been living at his second uncle’s house.

After the family banquet, Gu Shaoting planned to mention to Shu Pan about inviting Grandpa to stay with them. As he is Grandpa’s only grandson, he feels Grandpa must be feeling lonely at the Gu Family’s mansion. Now that they have Joy, he believes Grandpa would be happy to join them. He hasn’t informed Grandpa of this good news yet.

Previously, because his relationship with Shu Pan hadn’t been confirmed, he was worried that Grandpa would be disappointed, so he hadn’t taken them to see Grandpa.

Now seemed to be the best time.

While Gu Shaoting was lost in thought, friends and relatives kept coming up to congratulate him.

“Shaoting, you and Shu Pan are truly a match made in heaven, a perfect couple. And you have such a lovely daughter too. Keep up the good work and have another baby.”

Everyone offered their blessings, and Gu Shaoting nodded politely, saying, “Thank you all for your blessings. I apologize for not being able to entertain you properly.”

Upon hearing the mention of having babies, Shu Pan pursed her lips, a faint blush appearing on her delicate cheeks involuntarily.

It seemed like a customary greeting among friends and relatives to inquire about this aspect.

Many relatives were people Shu Pan hadn’t met before because they hadn’t held a wedding banquet previously. So many people didn’t know they were already married. Seeing that they still hadn’t hosted a banquet, but their daughter was already so big, they probably had many thoughts in their minds.

But they were hesitant to express them in front of the hosts.
