Chapter 678: A Sense of Crisis
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Gu Shaoting would probably vomit blood from anger if he knew that Shu Pan had such an idea.
At noon, Gu Shaoting paced around the office. Actually, he wanted to call Shu Pan, but he didn’t want to be the first to give in. He felt whoever gave in first would be admitting defeat.
He had checked his phone many times today. Every time his phone rang, he quickly checked if it was Shu Pan, but he was always disappointed.
When Secretary Zhang came in, he saw his boss looking restless, so he asked discreetly, “Mr. Gu, what’s wrong? What happened?”
Mr. Gu was always calm and collected when it came to work. Even if he encountered a big crisis, he would not be like this.
“Women really like to be unreasonable,” said Gu Shaoting angrily.
“Mr. Gu, are you angry with Mrs.Gu?” Secretary Zhang felt that only Mrs. Gu could provoke Mr. Gu.
Gu Shaoting rolled his eyes at him. “I’m going to restore my authority now. I can’t let her continue to be so arrogant.”
“You have a point.” Secretary Zhang quickly nodded. “But this probably won’t be an easy task.”
Secretary Zhang dared not add fuel to the fire seeing the angry man, but what he wanted to criticize was, “Are you sure you can restore your authority?”
Usually, he dared not even refute Mrs. Gu’s words. Had he become bold now?
“It’s not difficult, but I just couldn’t be bothered. But women really can’t be spoiled. The more you give in to her, the less she will take you seriously. She will probably take you seriously if you don’t give in.” Gu Shaoting lifted his chin slightly.
He had read this in the book but didn’t know if it was correct. He planned to give it a try.
Secretary Zhang looked at his smug expression and felt skeptical, not believing what he said.
“But didn’t you say that women should be pampered and that everything is the man’s fault?” Why did the atmosphere change now? The two of them were probably in a severe silent treatment this time.
“Things are different now. I’ve been pampering her all this while. Look at how angry I am now,” Gu Shaoting said indignantly.
Secretary Zhang looked at the man standing in front of the massive floor-to-ceiling windows of the tall building. His well-tailored black suit exuded an air of nobility and elegance. Beneath his thick, jet-black eyebrows, his narrow eyes gazed into the distance. Below his high-bridged nose, his thin lips moved slightly.
Even such a proud son of heaven could be thrown off balance by love.
When it came to love, everyone became an ordinary mortal.
“Mr. Gu, I may sound rude. I think Mrs. Gu is the most special person I’ve ever met. Look at her. She’s self-reliant, independent, and hardworking. She’s not smug or showing off just because she married a rich husband. She’s always been so low-key. It’s indeed rare.”
Hearing Secretary Zhang praise Shu Pan so much, Gu Shaoting couldn’t help but say proudly, “Of course, my woman is definitely the most special. Do I need you to say that?”
Gu Shaoting asked.
“So you have to coax Mrs. Gu well. Otherwise, she’s so perfect. If you can discover her goodness, so can others. What if…” Secretary Zhang stopped at this point. He knew Mr. Gu was clever and would definitely understand what he meant.
Actually, Secretary Zhang was doing this for his own good. Every time something happened to Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu, the people around would be the ones who suffered. For example, he would be the first.
More than anyone else, he hoped for peace between Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu so that he could have a better life.
Gu Shaoting was stunned. That’s right, he was in a silent treatment with Shu Pan. If her former pursuer took the opportunity to get in, wouldn’t he lose more than he gained?
Shaoting suddenly had a deep sense of crisis.
