Shu Pan pressed the answer button and brought the phone to her ear. “What’s up, Honey?”

“Oh, nothing much. I just missed you. What have you been up to today?” Gu Shaoting had just finished his work and was feeling a bit bored, so he wanted to hear Shu Pan’s voice.

“I went shopping with Xiaomeng today. Just got back, and I’m so tired. Xiaobao is asleep,” Shu Pan said, carefully taking out the nightgowns she had bought. She planned to wash and hang them up herself, feeling too embarrassed to tell Gu Shaoting that she had bought new sleepwear.

“Alright then, get some rest,” Gu Shaoting said, a bit disappointed. He had originally called to suggest taking her out for dinner tonight. They hadn’t been out since the baby was born. He thought a change of scenery might do them good, but seeing how tired she was, he didn’t want to push her.

“Okay, we’ll talk when you get back tonight,” Shu Pan said, glancing at the nightgowns and feeling a bit bashful.

Shu Pan slept until the evening, waking up just in time for dinner. After feeding Xiaobao, she had her meal. Gu Shaoting didn’t come home; he had a business dinner. He called the house phone because he didn’t want to disturb her nap.

Having slept for a long time, Shu Pan felt very energetic in the evening. After putting Xiaobao to bed, she found herself wide awake.

By 11 PM, Gu Shaoting still hadn’t returned. She frowned and picked up the phone, intending to call him. But then she hesitated, thinking, “What if he’s still at his business dinner? Will I be interrupting?” However, it was quite late, and usually, he would be home around 10 PM after such dinners. It was unusual for him to be out this late.

Worrying about the possibility of something having gone wrong, she finally decided to call him.

It rang for a long time before he picked up. “Why aren’t you asleep yet?”

Gu Shaoting, seeing it was her calling, couldn’t help but ask.

“Just about to. Are you still busy?” Shu Pan asked, feeling relieved just to hear his voice.

“Mr. Gu, is your wife checking up on you?” A teasing voice suddenly sounded nearby.

Gu Shaoting let out a deep chuckle. “She’s worried you guys might get me drunk,” he replied, then turned back to his phone. “I’ll be heading home soon. You should go to sleep.”

Gu Shaoting knew she would be up several times throughout the night.

After Shu Pan hung up the phone, she felt a mix of melancholy and disappointment.

It had been a long time since they had been intimate. Was Gu Shaoting having other thoughts because of it?

The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. Biting her lip, she glanced at the two nightgowns she had bought and decided it was time to take action.

When Gu Shaoting returned home, everyone was already asleep.

After washing up, he went to the bedside and looked at Shu Pan. She seemed to have something on her mind, as even in her sleep, her eyebrows were slightly furrowed.

He bent down and planted a soft kiss on her forehead.

Then he lay down beside her, gently wrapping his arm around her.

…

The next day, when Gu Shaoting got up, Shu Pan was still asleep. Not wanting to disturb her, he left a note on the bedside table.

It read, “I have a surprise for you tonight.”

When Shu Pan woke up and saw the note, she smiled.

Perfect, she thought, because she had a surprise for him too.

All day long, Shu Pan was a bit distracted, her mind constantly drifting to the evening ahead.

At dinner time, Gu Shaoting came back to pick up Shu Pan. He had made reservations at a very upscale restaurant, planning a romantic evening for them.

Outside, the city lights were just beginning to glow, while inside, the soft lighting created a warm, cozy atmosphere.

Shu Pan took off her coat, revealing a V-neck dress. Her long, soft hair cascaded down to her chest, thick and dark. Her delicate features, especially her star-like eyes, were captivating.

Gu Shaoting noticed that Shu Pan had become even more attractive since giving birth.
