“What are you daydreaming about?” Gu Shaoting suddenly squeezed Shu Pan’s palm firmly. She snapped back to reality and instinctively turned to look at Gu Shaoting. At that moment, he seemed like a completely different person. The coldness on his face had disappeared, replaced by a gentle gaze filled with doting. He continued speaking with a deep and magnetic voice, like playing the violin, “Why don’t you greet our Grandfather?”

Upon hearing the word “Grandfather,” Shu Pan instantly understood.

The reason he appeared to be two different people was because he was acting. The person he cherished the most was Grandpa Gu, and for the sake of his grandfather, he was willing to put on an act.

And she foolishly became absent-minded and at a loss in his presence.

Shu Pan forcefully suppressed her self-ridicule and, facing Grandpa Gu, managed to squeeze out a serene smile and sweetly greeted, “Hello, Grandfather.”

Grandpa Gu had already observed everything that happened after they entered the living room. Seeing them so affectionate with each other, he felt pleased. He asked them to take a seat while Auntie Wang brewed tea.

“Panpan, what have you been busy with lately? It’s been a long time since you last came here to have a meal with me.” Grandpa Gu liked Shu Pan a lot. He found her obedient and well-behaved. Previously, he had some reservations when Shaoting wanted to marry Tong Fei, feeling that a model who appeared in public was inappropriate and not in line with the values of the Gu family. Moreover, the constant appearance of their names in entertainment news was a source of amusement for everyone.

Moreover, every time Gu Shaoting brought her to the Gu Family’s mansion, she would make a great effort to please everyone, with a strong sense of purpose.

On the other hand, Gu Shaoting’s mother, Song Can, got along well with Tong Fei since they were both involved in the fashion industry. Song Can was also interested in this field and often received firsthand information from Tong Fei, which she could show off to her friends.

“I’m sorry, Grandfather. I’ve been busy lately, but I promise to visit you more often in the future.” Grandpa Gu was very concerned about her, and Shu Pan suddenly felt a sense of guilt.

“You know what I want. Have a child, and I won’t be so bored. You two have been married for several years. Don’t make me wait any longer for that day.” Grandpa Gu’s greatest wish was to have a great-grandchild, and this issue had been a topic of discussion for a long time.

“I understand, Grandfather,” Shu Pan responded softly. But in her heart, she felt sorry for the old man. In the current situation, Gu Shaoting had no intention of having a child with her. They were currently in an adversarial relationship, so how could they possibly have a child? Even if the child in her womb were to be born, they would bear the Shu surname.

Shu Pan silently apologized countless times in her heart, feeling guilty for the care and attention the old man had shown her.

“Grandfather, there’s no rush.” Gu Shaoting raised his legs and spoke in a perfunctory tone.

Shu Pan felt a bit awkward sitting there and got up to help Auntie Wang in the kitchen.

Just a few minutes after Gu Shaoting and Shu Pan arrived at the mansion, Auntie Wang began preparing dinner.

Grandpa Gu’s expression changed when he saw Shu Pan walk away. He wore a stern face and scolded Gu Shaoting, “Don’t think that I’m old and my eyes and ears are failing. The news and newspapers are filled with your scandalous news. You already have a wife at home, so don’t get involved with unrelated people.”

“Grandfather, don’t be alarmed. She’s just a friend. I know my boundaries,” Gu Shaoting quickly reassured him, concerned about Grandfather’s high blood pressure.

Before long, the meal was ready. Four dishes and a soup were served, and everyone sat down to eat. The atmosphere was harmonious, and Gu Shaoting occasionally picked up food for Shu Pan. The old man nodded in approval and finally started eating contentedly. Perhaps it was because there were many people and it was lively, he ate almost two bowls of rice.

After dinner, they chatted with Grandpa Gu for a while before leaving the mansion.
