Gu Shaoting looked at her innocently. He had been calling her phone repeatedly with no answer, so he decided to come to her department to surprise her, only to find out she was out having lunch with colleagues.
âWhy did you suddenly come over?â Shu Pan really wasnât accustomed to being the center of attention.
Clearly, many people still didnât know they were married, and some didnât even know they were together.
Then, the gossiping voices nearby began.
âWhy is the CEO talking to her? Whatâs her relationship with the CEO?â someone asked in confusion.
âYeah, sheâs not even that pretty,â someone added, their tone sour.
âSince youâre already having lunch here, letâs eat together.â Gu Shaoting sat down opposite them.
His secretary quickly went to fetch two servings of food. Having been by Gu Shaotingâs side for so long, he knew his taste very well.
âOkay.â Shu Pan felt like she was being stared at by all the eyes around her.
âMr. Gu.â Tang Weiâs heart raced when she saw the CEO, not out of admiration, but out of nervousness.
She was someone who trembled at the sight of her superiors, let alone someone as high-ranking as the CEO.
But she noticed everyoneâs attention was on them, and she couldnât help feeling a bit proud. Being the center of attention wasnât so bad, even if it wasnât exactly focused on her.
âYeah,â Gu Shaoting nodded.
During the meal, Gu Shaoting noticed Shu Pan wasnât eating much, so he picked up a piece of vinegar-scented spare ribs from his own plate and offered it to her. He knew she liked it and thought it might whet her appetite.
Everyone was stunned by Gu Shaotingâs gesture.
Feeding each other from their plates? Wasnât that something only couples did?
Turns out, the seemingly cold Gu had such a considerate side.
Everyone couldnât help but feel envious, thinking they were truly happy.
âI canât eat anymore.â Seeing the pieces of vinegar-scented spare ribs, she would usually enjoy them, but now they seemed a bit overwhelming.
She wondered if it was because of Charleneâs words that her mood was down, so she really didnât have much appetite now.
âYou ate very little today. Is it because the food doesnât suit your taste? Shall I take you out for something else?â Gu Shaoting asked with concern.
Shu Pan shook her head, but seeing his caring eyes, she suddenly felt touched and quietly picked up a spare rib.
It tasted pretty good, sour and sweet, very appetizing.
Gu Shaoting felt relieved when he saw her start eating.
Tang Wei, on the side, was also stunned.
Oh my, being exposed to this, itâs going to be hard to find a boyfriend in the future. With Mr. Gu setting such high standards, itâs going to be tough.
Tang Wei sighed again, feeling that Shu Pan was truly happy.
But now she was also a boss, yet she didnât put on airs at all, still the same as before. Such a rare trait. It was probably because of this that the god of happiness always favored her.
The secretary was used to seeing this kind of thing every day.
It was quite stimulating. He used to have a girlfriend, but she was too clingy, always wanting to be together 24/7, which got on his nerves, so he broke up with her.
Now he was single again.
But he was resilient. Seeing Mr. and Mrs. Gu being affectionate, he could still calmly eat his meal.
He glanced at the girl across from him, probably from the same department as Mrs. Gu, whom he had seen before.
She was watching them being lovey-dovey.
He waved his hand in front of her.
Tang Wei snapped out of it, seeing the secretary. âWhatâs up?â
The secretary gestured to the seats nearby, and Tang Wei immediately understood.
Then the two of them picked up their utensils and moved to the nearby table, leaving space for the lovebirds.
