Let s Divorce As Agreed

Chapter 952: 951

Shu Pan was close to falling asleep when she finally heard the sound of the door opening at the entrance.

She softly opened the door and saw Gu Shaoting walking over somewhat unsteadily, it seemed he had drunk a bit at the evening’s social event. Shu Pan quickly went forward to support him.

Suddenly, she faintly smelled a whiff of perfume. It wasn’t the scent of cologne but Chanel’s No.5, a fragrance she was quite familiar with since a colleague of hers was a devout fan of this perfume. She often smelled it and didn’t particularly dislike it.

Some doubts formed in her heart, doubts she couldn’t dispel. How could he have acquired the scent of perfume?

“Dear, I’m thirsty. I don’t want to drink alcohol. I promised my dear I wouldn’t drink…” He was beginning to talk nonsense, still aware of listening to his wife? But then, he came home intoxicated.

Shu Pan felt annoyed and decided to ignore him, so she took a glass of water to drink and went to rest by herself.

A deep sense of disappointment suddenly surged in her heart. Was she now facing the so-called “seven-year itch”? Many things that could have been communicated in the past were now of no interest to discuss. It seemed pointless to talk, and she felt it was necessary to take the edge off his arrogance.

It was the same morning, on the same sofa, when Gu Shaoting woke up. He sighed, recalling that he had dined with President Wang from the Qitian company the night before. President Wang could really hold his liquor, and Gu Shaoting felt dizzy after just two drinks. Looking at himself today, he probably aggravated Shu Pan again.

In the future, he would leave social engagements to the public relations department.

After he got up and washed, he went to the company. When he arrived, Xia Xiaoqiao was already standing at the door with a smile, “Good morning, Mr. Gu.”

“Good morning.” Gu Shaoting remembered that last night he had attended the event with Secretary Xia and Manager Li from the sales department. He was a bit dizzy by the end of it and couldn’t remember some parts of the evening.

He returned to his seat and had just sat down when he heard a knock on the door. “Come in.”

“Mr. Gu, this is a secret recipe for relieving a hangover, very effective, it’s orange honey tea. I saw you drank a lot last night, give it a try, it can help alleviate your headache,” Xia Xiaoqiao explained tenderly.

“Okay, thank you.” Gu Shaoting felt a warmth in his heart; he couldn’t deny that his secretary was very attentive, and he was indeed suffering from a headache at the moment.

“Then drink it while it’s warm, I’ll be leaving now.” After saying this, she left, leaving a faint scent of perfume in the air that was quite soothing.

Gu Shaoting held the glass and took a sip. It wasn’t overly sweet, had a citrus fragrance, and was quite pleasant to drink, so he continued to drink several more mouthfuls.

After drinking a cup of tea, he felt much better, and his throat wasn’t as dry anymore.

He pursed his lips, picked up his phone, and dialed Shu Pan’s number. Soon there was a pleasant ringtone from the other end. Just as the call was about to disconnect automatically, Shu Pan’s voice came through.

“What is it?” Shu Pan’s voice was indifferent and emotionless.

“Uh, I came back late yesterday, sorry. I drank a little too much, and I still have a bit of a headache.” Gu Shaoting feigned pitifulness to elicit sympathy, but Shu Pan wasn’t that easily swayed; she always had her principles.

“Oh. If you’re happy with that.” Shu Pan’s attitude remained very cold.

Gu Shaoting knew he had made a mistake, as his frequent drinking during business engagements was becoming too common, no wonder Shu Pan was so repulsed by it.

“Actually, if you ruin your health by drinking, that’s your own business. I’ve heard that many women have a better marriage the second time around,” Shu Pan blurted out, not knowing what she was thinking.

Those words struck Gu Shaoting deeply. What did she mean by that? Was this woman implying that if he died, she would remarry? Find a second chance at love? Someone even better than him?
