Chapter 923: Chapter 922 Discussion

However, Shu Pan wanted to give him the cold shoulder for a while; this man had been spoiled by her, thinking she would endlessly tolerate him.

Now, he disregarded what she said, as if he didn’t care much about her words anymore.

Had they reached the seven-year itch?

Was their marriage facing another test?

When she got up in the morning, Shu Pan stood in front of the dressing mirror, scrutinizing herself. She felt she could barely look at her own reflection; it had been so long since she took care of herself, put on makeup, bought new clothes, or socialized. Over the past two years, revolving around the child, she felt she was almost losing herself.

Not to mention a man, even she could hardly stand the sight of herself.

Her skin was somewhat dull, luckily she had a good base complexion, otherwise it would have been even more intolerable. Her hair was a bit dry, and thankfully her figure was still fairly standard with no excess fat, which gave her some consolation, but she couldn’t allow herself to indulge any further. It was because her life was too comfortable that she had lost her fighting spirit.

What was the difference between her and a canary locked in a cage now?

Shu Pan felt it was time for a change.

As usual, she got up, arranged breakfast for the child, and then sent them off to school.

When she returned home, Gu Shaoting had just woken up.

He walked into the living room and greeted Shu Pan with a gentle good morning.

Shu Pan nodded, “I have something I would like to discuss with you.”

“What is it?” Gu Shaoting asked while eating his breakfast.

“I want to start working again. The kids are in school, and I’m bored staying at home all the time,” Shu Pan said, her voice tinged with grievance.

“Silly girl, you can go shopping with Xiaomeng or hang out, don’t just stay at home. Or you could come to the company with me,” Gu Shaoting suggested.

“No, you have to work, you often have meetings, see company executives, meet clients, and what would it look like for me to be by your side?” Shu Pan said.

“How about I arrange a lighter job for you at the company?” Gu Shaoting thought for a moment, then suggested.

“I want to find a job on my own, at a different company,” Shu Pan insisted stubbornly, her resolved attitude seemed unstoppable even by ten oxen.

Indeed, Gu Shaoting frowned slightly, “Let’s discuss this issue again tonight when we return.”

Having said that, Gu Shaoting stood up, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and then left without looking back, his briefcase in hand.

Shu Pan knew this was his way of showing anger because she hadn’t followed his plan, although his opposition was within her expectations.

Having been a couple for so long, she was rather familiar with his character.

But this time, she did not want to compromise; she couldn’t be without principles.

After breakfast, Shu Pan checked the time; it was almost 9 o’clock. So, she tidied up a bit and planned to call Xiaomeng later to go shopping.

She was in the mood for shopping.

When Shu Pan called Xiaomeng, it turned out she too planned on inviting her out.

Probably, her voice message from the day before had made Xiaomeng overthink.

They agreed to meet at their usual spot.

It had been a while since they last met, so they found a place to drink something and chat a bit.

“Girl, you’re almost turning into a matron, why don’t you dress up a bit?” Ye Xiaomeng exclaimed in surprise upon seeing Shu Pan.

“Could you be any more hurtful with your words?” Shu Pan retorted, annoyed, well-aware of her appearance and still getting criticized.

“As your bestie, it’s my duty to remind you. With you looking so unkempt, what does Gu Shaoting think?” Ye Xiaomeng sighed.
