“It’s too expensive. I didn’t do anything to deserve this. I can’t accept it.” Shu Pan said. There was nothing going on between them; she didn’t want to accept any gifts from him.

“Throw it away if you don’t want it. I can’t use it anyway.” Gu Shaoting felt disappointed. He had thoughtfully bought something for her, but she rejected his gift.

A hint of displeasure appeared on his handsome face.

What an ungrateful woman.

Shu Pan saw the sudden change in his expression and said, “Well…. You shouldn’t have. Alright, thank you.”

Gu Shaoting’s expression finally returned to normal when he saw her accept his gift.

Shu Pan marveled in her heart. The man seemed skilled in the art of face-changing.

Shu Pan picked up the gift and went back to her room. She then carefully unwrapped it and saw a few bottles of different sizes placed neatly inside the box.

Even if Shu Pan lived under a rock, she could recognize the international brand of these skincare products. Curious, she used her phone to check the price on their official website. She was so shocked that she nearly fell off the chair. These bottles were worth half her monthly salary.

Sigh! She didn’t even buy such expensive things in the past. In the years when she was married to Gu Shaoting, he rarely bought her gifts, not even on important holidays.

He actually bought her a gift now that he had lost his memory and they were divorced. It felt kind of ironic.

Shu Pan sat in front of the dressing table and looked at her unfamiliar self in the mirror. Her once fair and youthful face now looked a little dull. There were faint dark circles under her eyes and fine lines at the corners of her eyes. Her years of toiling were visible on her face.

Shu Pan sighed again. She had indeed changed a lot. Time waited for no man. No matter how good these skincare products were, they probably wouldn’t reverse the damage.

Gu Shaoting, who was in the other bedroom, wasn’t at peace either. He kept thinking, who was the one on the phone with Shu Pan?

Shu Pan was usually cool and indifferent to him. She was never friendly, but when she was on the phone just now, her voice was gentle, and she was smiling. She looked very different from her usual self around him.

Gu Shaoting kept playing the scene in his mind and felt extremely jealous.

He felt strange lately as he became increasingly possessive of her.

But he also observed her words and expression and knew that she was wary of him. He would be patient as he believed that he would move her one day.

He was going on a business trip in two days. He would have a good chat with her when he returned.

He Ming felt that his day didn’t go well. He painstakingly turned down a blind date so he’d have time to see Ye Xiaomeng, but he was given the cold shoulder. For some reason, Ye Xiaomeng was unwilling to see him. He called her, but she hung up at once.

He felt very frustrated. What went wrong? She was still friendly two days ago.

He had no choice but to wait. He stood outside Ye Xiaomeng’s home, knocked on her door from time to time and waited.

Ye Xiaomeng didn’t expect him to be such a scoundrel. She looked through the peephole and saw that he refused to leave. To avoid disturbance to her neighbors, she had no choice but to open the door and let him in.

He Ming walked in pitifully like a puppy that had been shut out from his home.

“What do you want?” Ye Xiaomeng’s tone was cold, as if she was talking to a stranger.

“Nothing important. I just miss you.” He Ming looked at Ye Xiaomeng affectionately.

Ye Xiaomeng ignored him and snorted coldly.

“Mr. He, the only relationship we have is a one-night stand. We’re really not that close.”

The scene at the cafe kept playing in Ye Xiaomeng’s mind..
