Chapter 990: Chapter 989: The One Who Understands Him

Gu Shaoting’s business trip this time was quite long, almost half a month. Some issues had arisen at the overseas subsidiary, but fortunately, they were caught in time and the losses were minimized.

By the time he returned home, he was utterly exhausted. Shu Pan and the kids were already asleep, so he didn’t have the heart to disturb them and just kissed her forehead lightly.

It wasn’t his fault his heart raced back to them so fervently, for during his trip, he was busy and, due to the time difference, finding a good time to have a proper phone call with Shu Pan was not easy.

Every day, when he finally managed to squeeze in some time to call her, he would see that it was already midnight over there.

In the morning, as dawn gently broke, and the sky was just turning light, Shu Pan awoke to find the person who had been away for half a month suddenly lying beside her, which gave her quite a start.

She looked at him and guessed he was very tired; he was sleeping soundly. She made quite a bit of noise, yet he showed no sign of waking, and there were faint dark circles under his eyes, probably from lack of rest.

She got out of bed quietly to wash up and then took care of getting the kids ready for breakfast and school.

However, since she also had to go to work, she left a note for him on the bedside table, hoping he would see it when he woke up.

Gu Shaoting slept until around 9 o’clock. He looked at the sky outside; the sun was already high, it was no longer early.

He stretched languorously and then decided to get up. Suddenly, he noticed the note on the bedside table and felt a twinge of disappointment. After being away for so long, he had thought that Shu Pan might take a day off.

All right, now everyone has gone to their jobs or school. It’s pointless to stay home alone, so he might as well go to work.

CEO’s Office

In front of Gu Shaoting was a mountain of documents.

These had been brought in early in the morning by Secretary Zhang.

When Xia Xiaoqiao saw that Gu Shaoting had returned from his business trip, she was delighted, “Mr. Gu, you’re back from your trip?”

“Yeah, you’ve worked hard in the recent period,” Gu Shaoting had left on his own for the trip since there was Secretary Zhang at the subsidiary, so he didn’t need to take a secretary with him.

“It’s no trouble, you’re the one who’s been working hard, Mr. Gu,” Xia Xiaoqiao said with a hint of clear concern in her voice.

Xia Xiaoqiao watched as Gu Shaoting began to review the files seriously. She quietly stepped out and then made him a cup of her signature coffee.

The fragrance of the coffee lingered in his nose, and Gu Shaoting smiled appreciatively. Secretary Zhang still knew him best.

He really needed a cup of coffee to wake him up.

The temperature of the air conditioning in the office was just right. Gu Shaoting took off his suit jacket and casually hung it over his office chair. Clad in a white shirt, his back was straight as he focused on reviewing the documents on his desk.

They say a man immersed in his work is most attractive. At this moment, he looked refined and elegant, detached from worldly matters, meticulous and careful, exuding a mature and steady aura from head to toe.

He Ming pushed the door open and exaggeratedly exclaimed, “Brother Ting, leave some room for the rest of us. Being so handsome and diligent, if girls saw this, they would surely fall for you by the droves.”

Honestly, He Ming felt that his buddy was truly blessed with both looks and talents. Aside from occasionally having a bit of a temper, he really couldn’t find any other flaws in him.

Without looking up, Gu Shaoting continued to review the documents, “Why are you here so early?”

Because Xiaomeng was pregnant, He Ming generally arrived relatively late. However, during the time Gu Shaoting was on his trip, He Ming came early to hold down the fort.

“Well, aren’t women erratic when they’re pregnant? I didn’t feel it much when she was pregnant with our first, but this time, I’m really struggling, yet I can’t upset her.”

He Ming suddenly said in a downhearted tone.

“What’s wrong? The conflict hasn’t been resolved?” Gu Shaoting finally looked up.
