But Gu Huanhuan was still surprised that the press release mentioned her brother/cousin. That was not good.
She couldnât help but massaged her forehead to calm down.
Sure enough, the incident wasnât over. Gu Huanhuan was âinvitedâ to Qiyuan that night.
When Gu Huanhuan arrived, Shu Pan was bathing the children while her cousin, Gu Shaoting, sat in the living room with a gloomy and unfriendly expression.
Gu Huanhuan was quite afraid. She prayed in her heart that Shu Pan would come out quickly because only she could control Gu Shaoting.
Unfortunately, the heavens didnât hear her prayer and Shu Pan didnât come out. Instead, her cousin gave her a cold look.
âSit.â His word was like an icicle in the middle of winter, so cold that it was frightening.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Gu Huanhuan sat down uneasily and asked softly, âWhatâs up?â
Gu Huanhuan feigned innocence. She had experienced her cousinâs bad temper before.
Gu Shaoting paused before he asked, âDonât you have something to tell me?â
âUh, everythingâs been pretty good lately.â Gu Huanhuan laughed. She wasnât sure if Gu Shaoting already found out about the photos.
But it was hard to say. After all, some of her co-workers were referred by him. It wouldnât be a surprise if he had found out.
âWhatâs with the photos? I donât remember sending you to the studio this morning. Gu Huanhuan, you are getting bolder. What did you promise me before?â Gu Shaotingâs words were very soft, but they caused Gu Huanhuan to tremble with fear.
She knew that the incident wouldnât be over so easily.
âUm⦠Those were accidentally taken when a friend sent me to work.â Gu Huanhuan stammered.
âWhich friend?â Gu Shaoting was relentless.
Gu Huanhuan was getting a little impatient from the interrogation. She simply confessed, âMy boyfriend. We just got together. Heâs a good person.â
âHow do you know heâs a good person? There are so many love scammers nowadays, conning people for money and sex.â Gu Shaoting said coldly.
âHeâs cousin-in-lawâs friend and a doctor. Do you think heâs a bad person?â Gu Huanhuan did not hold back. She knew that her cousin would find out eventually given his status and influence.
Gu Shaoting furrowed his brows and thought. Wen Chiâs name came to him very quickly.
But he couldnât find anything bad to say about Wen Chi. He was an outstanding man after all.
It wasnât a bad thing for him to be in a relationship with Huanhuan. That way, he would get over Shu Pan and give up on her completely.
He looked forward to telling Shu Pan the good news. It would please her.
âJust donât cause any trouble. Invite him here for dinner someday.â Gu Shaoting ordered Gu Huanhuan.
Gu Huanhuan nodded reluctantly. Would other couples be like them? They had just gotten together and hadnât even enjoyed their honeymoon period yet everyone was talking about them.
But it was a good thing that her cousin knew. She didnât have to hide it from him anymore.
At this moment, Shu Pan walked out. When she saw Gu Huanhuan, she said in surprise, âHuanhuan is here? I heard that youâve recently embarked on a new project. I thought youâd be too busy to come over.â
âIâm shooting a new movie but I can still come over when Iâm free.â Gu Huanhuan glanced at Gu Shaoting and knew that he would tell Shu Pan, so she didnât say more. After all, she was a thin-skinned girl. She was too shy to tell people such things.
âOur whole family will go and support you when itâs premiered.â Shu Pan said gently.
âThanks, cousin-in-law.â Compared to Shu Panâs kindness, Gu Shaoting was a monster.
Gu Shaoting got up from the soda after he saw Shu Pan. He leaned over and planted a kiss on Shu Panâs cheek in front of Gu Huanhuan before he went to the study to catch up with work.
Shu Pan was stunned. She didnât expect Gu Shaoting to do such a thing.
Gu Huanhuan was also stunned. She did not expect her cousin to be so considerate and romantic nowadays.
