Qin Zhen sent the deep-faked photos to Shu Pan and then to Charlene.

He soon received a call from Charlene.

“So how, my dear? Are you satisfied?” Qin Zhen asked Charlene for credit because he had completed his task so smoothly.

“Not too bad. But how’s Brother Gu? Did Shu Pan call to make a big fuss after she received the photos?” Charlene asked anxiously; she couldn’t wait to see Shu Pan’s reaction.

“Gu Shaoting called me to ask if I was the one who checked him into a hotel to sleep off his drunkenness. He sounded very calm so I don’t think Shu Pan has told him yet.” Qin Zhen felt that if Shu Pan had called and made a big fuss, Gu Shaoting wouldn’t be so calm.

Charlene immediately looked disappointed. She thought there would be big drama after the misunderstanding was created but Shu Pan seemed quite level-headed. She was able to keep cool even after her husband cheated on her. Charlene couldn’t understand it. Was that the behavior of someone in love?

“It probably isn’t yet time for this to blow up. Let’s wait and see.” Charlene revealed a smug smile.

“My dear, then the promise you made me…” Qin Zhen asked tentatively.

“Let’s wait until it’s done. We still don’t know if your plan worked.” Charlene said impatiently. This Qin Zhen was so annoying. She must have been possessed back then to like him. He sounded like a b*stard…

She agreed to his request first. It was just dating. Having meals together, shopping, having coffee and the like. How difficult could that be?

Charlene was secretly very pleased with her strategy.

“As long as you remember.” Qin Zhen chuckled.

Charlene couldn’t help but roll her eyes. She hung up after saying a few more words.

Charlene finally had time to scroll through the photos. She was actually quite envious of Tong Fei for being so intimate with her Brother Gu.

The photos didn’t look like deep fakes at all. Gu Shaoting and Tong Fei looked like a loving couple together.

Charlene didn’t believe that Shu Pan would be indifferent to such photos.

But she got a little angry as she scrolled through the photos; Tong Fei had benefited from Qin Zhen’s scheme.

…

Gu Shaoting was almost done with his work. Based on his current progress, he should be able to go home in three days.

He leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to get a little peace.

It was after hours and everyone had left. Gu Shaoting walked out of his office and his first thought was to call Shu Pan.

Shu Pan was eating having dinner he called. She hesitated before she answered his call. “What’s up?”

She didn’t say hello and her tone was indifferent.

“Nothing. I just wanted to hear your voice.” Gu Shaoting ignored the coldness in her voice, chalking it up to his own oversensitivity.

“If there’s nothing else, bye. I’m eating.” Joy and her grandpa were both eating with Shu Pan, so she didn’t want to say anything. She was worried that she wouldn’t be able to resist confronting him.

Gu Shaoting frowned. If he still didn’t notice that something was off, he would be a terrible husband to Shu Pan.

“Honey, what’s wrong? Did something happen?” Gu Shaoting asked gently.

“Nothing’s wrong. Take care of yourself when you’re away from home.” Shu Pan frowned too.

Shu Pan paused after she said that. She felt that she was quite amazing to say words of concern to him at a time like this.

It was true that with more bad experiences, one’s ability to pretend and lie came naturally.

Gu Shaoting smiled. Shu Pan still cared very much about him. He had been oversensitive.

“I’m driving, so it’s not convenient to chat. Let’s talk another time?”

“Okay, I’ll call you after dinner.”

“Okay.”

After that, the two of them hung up.
