Gu Shaoting would probably vomit blood from anger if he knew that Shu Pan had such an idea.
At noon, Gu Shaoting paced around the office. Actually, he wanted to call Shu Pan, but he didnât want to be the first to give in. He felt whoever gave in first would be admitting defeat.
He had checked his phone many times today. Every time his phone rang, he quickly checked if it was Shu Pan, but he was always disappointed.
When Secretary Zhang came in, he saw his boss looking restless, so he asked discreetly, âMr. Gu, whatâs wrong? What happened?â
Mr. Gu was always calm and collected when it came to work. Even if he encountered a big crisis, he would not be like this.
âWomen really like to be unreasonable,â said Gu Shaoting angrily.
âMr. Gu, are you angry with Mrs.Gu?â Secretary Zhang felt that only Mrs. Gu could provoke Mr. Gu.
Gu Shaoting rolled his eyes at him. âIâm going to restore my authority now. I canât let her continue to be so arrogant.â
âYou have a point.â Secretary Zhang quickly nodded. âBut this probably wonât be an easy task.â
Secretary Zhang dared not add fuel to the fire seeing the angry man, but what he wanted to criticize was, âAre you sure you can restore your authority?â
Usually, he dared not even refute Mrs. Guâs words. Had he become bold now?
âItâs not difficult, but I just couldnât be bothered. But women really canât be spoiled. The more you give in to her, the less she will take you seriously. She will probably take you seriously if you donât give in.â Gu Shaoting lifted his chin slightly.
He had read this in the book but didnât know if it was correct. He planned to give it a try.
Secretary Zhang looked at his smug expression and felt skeptical, not believing what he said.
âBut didnât you say that women should be pampered and that everything is the manâs fault?â Why did the atmosphere change now? The two of them were probably in a severe silent treatment this time.
âThings are different now. Iâve been pampering her all this while. Look at how angry I am now,â Gu Shaoting said indignantly.
Secretary Zhang looked at the man standing in front of the massive floor-to-ceiling windows of the tall building. His well-tailored black suit exuded an air of nobility and elegance. Beneath his thick, jet-black eyebrows, his narrow eyes gazed into the distance. Below his high-bridged nose, his thin lips moved slightly.
Even such a proud son of heaven could be thrown off balance by love.
When it came to love, everyone became an ordinary mortal.
âMr. Gu, I may sound rude. I think Mrs. Gu is the most special person Iâve ever met. Look at her. Sheâs self-reliant, independent, and hardworking. Sheâs not smug or showing off just because she married a rich husband. Sheâs always been so low-key. Itâs indeed rare.â
Hearing Secretary Zhang praise Shu Pan so much, Gu Shaoting couldnât help but say proudly, âOf course, my woman is definitely the most special. Do I need you to say that?â
Gu Shaoting asked.
âSo you have to coax Mrs. Gu well. Otherwise, sheâs so perfect. If you can discover her goodness, so can others. What ifâ¦â Secretary Zhang stopped at this point. He knew Mr. Gu was clever and would definitely understand what he meant.
Actually, Secretary Zhang was doing this for his own good. Every time something happened to Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu, the people around would be the ones who suffered. For example, he would be the first.
More than anyone else, he hoped for peace between Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu so that he could have a better life.
Gu Shaoting was stunned. Thatâs right, he was in a silent treatment with Shu Pan. If her former pursuer took the opportunity to get in, wouldnât he lose more than he gained?
Shaoting suddenly had a deep sense of crisis.
