He Ming didnât call Xiaomeng, but Gu Shaoting did call Shu Pan.
When he returned home, it was already 7 p.m., but Shu Pan had not yet come back.
The driver said Madam didnât need him to pick her up, which made Gu Shaoting a bit anxious. Could something have happened?
So, he hastily called Shu Panâs phone.
âIâm at the hospitalâ¦â Shu Pan hadnât finished speaking when Gu Shaoting suddenly interrupted her, âWhich hospital are you at? What happened?â
âAh, itâs not me. Xiaomeng had some trouble, but itâs all right now. Iâll head back soon,â Shu Pan explained.
âAlright, shall I come and pick you up?â Gu Shaoting offered kindly.
âNo need,â said Shu Pan as she hung up the phone.
Xiaomeng said somewhat embarrassingly, âGirl, sorry for making you come with me. Itâs all fine now, you can go back.â
âWhat nonsense are you talking about? You just listen to the doctor, donât overthink things, and when you go back, take good care of yourself. Even if He Ming comes back, donât argue with him,â Shu Pan comforted Ye Xiaomeng, although these words were also what she wanted to say to herself.
Suddenly she felt that she and Gu Shaoting also had a lot of problems.
Shu Pan escorted Xiaomeng home first. With Auntie watching over her at home, Shu Pan felt more at ease, but she still repeatedly reminded Xiaomeng to notify her immediately if anything happened.
By the time Shu Pan got home, it was nearly 8 p.m., and she was both hungry and tired, utterly exhausted.
Seeing her weary face, Gu Shaoting felt very distressed and told her to eat first and then go back to rest in the bedroom.
The kids were also very obedient, playing in their own rooms.
âWhat happened to Xiaomeng?â Gu Shaoting asked with concern.
Instead of answering, Shu Pan asked an irrelevant question, âIs He Ming very busy? Did he find a new secretary? A new assistant? Or is there a new colleague?â
Shu Pan didnât beat around the bush and directly asked Gu Shaoting. If it were really an affair, it was probably with a colleague, as they were around each other every day, which could easily lead to feelings developing.
Gu Shaoting was confused by the question. The Corporation had recently recruited a batch of new employees for every department.
The rapid development of the Corporation required the infusion of a lot of new blood.
âEach department recruited new employees,â Gu Shaoting said, skirting the main issue.
He wasnât sure what the problem was, so he dared not respond rashly.
He thought he would have to thoroughly ask He Ming later if something had happened that he didnât know about.
Shu Pan knew she couldnât get any answers and felt some inexplicable irritation.
She silently sipped her soup, her mind occupied with other thoughts.
Before going to sleep, Shu Pan casually told Gu Shaoting that the company was organizing a trip for two days and asked him to help look after the children.
Gu Shaoting dared not object and quickly agreed.
After putting Shu Pan to bed, he went to the study and called He Mingâs cell phone.
âMing, are you home yet?â He Ming had been busy with an order these past two days. Since this client had always dealt with He Ming, it was necessary for him to take charge personally, especially since it was a major client, and losing them would definitely impact the Corporationâs business.
He Ming was relieved thinking about Xiaomengâs stable condition.
âIâve been home for a while. Whatâs up?â It couldnât be to invite him out for drinks, could it?
âXiaomeng went to the hospital tonight. Was she accompanied by Shu Pan? Did you know about this? Ming, no matter what, your wife is the most important,â Gu Shaoting assumed He Ming knew about Ye Xiaomeng being in the hospital.
âWhat? When did this happen? I didnât know. Xiaomeng didnât tell me.â He Ming became anxious upon hearing this and checked his phone, only to unexpectedly see that Xiaomeng had called him around 5 oâclock.
