Chapter 35: Buy Underwear

"I don\'t want to be a third wheel and spoil your time together. You two go ahead. Just take it easy and don\'t overeat. Take care of my godchild," Shu Pan reminded her once again.

"Forget it. My baby has a strong stomach just like me," Ye Xiaomeng proudly replied, giving Shu Pan a glance.

Shu Pan smiled wryly and sat for a while before they both left Left Bank Café.

Shortly after, Cheng Yang arrived in his car. After greeting Shu Pan, he left with Ye Xiaomeng.

Watching the car drive away, Shu Pan felt a sense of melancholy. Sometimes she truly envied Ye Xiaomeng for her carefree nature. It seemed easier for her to find happiness by being simple and carefree.

She used to believe she was the happiest person, simply because she was able to marry the person she loved. But now? She didn\'t dare to expect anything. Everything she had once dreamed of had become distant.

She was pregnant, and she couldn\'t even tell Xiaomeng about it. Because she didn\'t know how it would end. If Gu Shaoting refused to divorce, and her belly grew larger, how would she hide it? What would she do?

She had to carry this secret on her own. Pregnancy was supposed to be the happiest thing between a couple, but now she was the only one experiencing joy. However, she would give her child all the love in the world.

Her thoughts were interrupted, and she realized there was still plenty of time. Instead of going home to a quiet room, she decided to take a leisurely stroll outside.

Not far away, she noticed a shopping mall, so she walked there slowly.

As she passed a sleepwear store, she remembered that a few of her bras had become deformed. So she went straight to the lingerie section and picked a few of her usual styles. They were simple designs, and she didn\'t bother trying them on. With tight finances, she couldn\'t afford to buy anything that wasn\'t essential.

She took out a bank card from her wallet and handed it to the salesperson without paying much attention. After the transaction, the card was returned to her. As she put it back in her wallet, her heart skipped a beat. It was the credit card Gu Shaoting had given her, which she had never used before. Now she had mistakenly used it for payment, and for buying lingerie of all things. She felt overwhelmed.

Shu Pan forced a bitter smile, deciding to act as if nothing had happened. If he confronted her, she would simply repay him the money.

On the other end, Gu Shaoting was at a social gathering when he heard a notification sound from his phone. Glancing at it, he saw the words "lingerie store purchase" and couldn\'t remain calm. He had given that card to Shu Pan, and she had never used it before. However, he wasn\'t a stingy person, and even though he despised Shu Laide, he didn\'t extend that attitude toward Shu Pan. So, upon receiving the message, he was only slightly surprised.

He was always efficient and decisive in his actions, never hesitating or procrastinating. Except when it came to Shu Pan. He didn\'t know what he was thinking, but every time he considered divorcing her, he felt a heavy heart and struggled to breathe. But when it came to Shu Laide, he harbored deep hatred. He often wondered why Shu Pan had to be Shu Laide\'s daughter.
