Shu Pan nodded when she heard that.

As the zoo was in the outskirts of Bin City, the drive there took about 40 minutes.

When they arrived, Gu Shaoting parked the car and Shu Pan held Joy’s hand after she got her out of the car seat.

Strong sunlight cascaded through the tree canopy, creating dancing dappled patterns on the ground in tandem with the breeze.

There weren’t too many visitors at the zoo. Joy looked a little tired after they walked around for a short while.

Gu Shaoting’s heart ache when he saw that. He picked Joy up and piggybacked her on his shoulders. Shu Pan looked on with worry and tried to stop him.

“Put Joy down. It’s too dangerous.”

“It’s okay. I am holding her very firmly.” Gu Shaoting walked steadily without any feeling of burden at all.

“Wow, Mommy, I’m taller than you.” Joy shouted happily while sitting on Gu Shaoting’s shoulders.

Shu Pan looked at the backs of the two people in front of her, and felt an unknown feeling spread in her heart.

They saw elephants, peacocks, Joy’s favorite monkeys, and other animals. It was almost noon when Shu Pan felt like her legs no longer belong to her.

She dragged her tired body to a pavilion to rest. Gu Shaoting had good stamina and brought the energetic Joy to see other animals.

“Your husband is so nice to visit the zoo on a weekend with you and your daughter.” Another mother who was resting in the pavilion said. Her daughter was sitting beside her.

“Actually, he isn’t…” Shu Pan was about to explain when she realized that if she told people that they were divorced and no longer husband and wife, what would people think?

Never mind, she’d just let this woman misunderstand. They were strangers

anyway.

Shu Pan smiled awkwardly and said, “Oh, he happened to be free.”

“Sigh, men nowadays think that it’s enough if they just go out and earn money. They don’t care about anything at home. Like my husband, who’s still sleeping at home. Our daughter has asked him several times to come but he refused with an annoyed look on his face.” The mother said angrily.

“He’s probably busy. It’s a lot of pressure to support a family nowadays.” Shu Pan didn’t know how she should comfort this woman.

“Look at your husband. He’s handsome and has a distinguished demeanor. You can just tell that he’s a successful person, but he still loves his wife and daughter so much.” The mother said enviously.

Shu Pan was so embarrassed that she didn’t know what to say, so she forced a smile.

“You are such a happy family of three. You’re so lucky.” The mother went on and on. Fortunately, Gu Shaoting and Joy were back.

“Mommy, it’s a pity that you didn’t see the giraffe. Its neck is so long.” Joy said as she gestured with her hands.

Shu Pan took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off her forehead.

“Are you very tired?” Gu Shaoting looked at Shu Pan’s worried face and asked. “Yes. Let’s go. I think we’ve seen enough.” Shu Pan got up and said goodbye to the other mother.

On their way home, Shu Pan kept thinking about the other mother’s words. Marriage was indeed a woman’s second reincarnation. If she married a bad husband, the rest of her life would be ruined.

They ate outside before they went home. When they arrived downstairs of her apartment, Gu Shaoting carried the sleeping Joy upstairs.

When he came out to the living room, Shu Pan called out, “Actually, you don’t have to do this. After all, it’s all in the past. I have no other desire than to live a quiet life with Joy.”

The other mother’s words today reminded her that if they went out like this, people would think that they were a happy family..
