After dinner, Gu Shaoting offered to do the dishes. Shu Pan didn’t say anything and pulled Joy into the shower and started preparing her for bed.

After Joy fell asleep, Shu Pan went back to the living room and found that Gu Shaoting was still there. He was sitting on the sofa, thinking about something.

When he saw her come out, he patted the seat beside him, asking her to sit. Shu Pan sat down across from him. “It’s getting late. Why are you still here?” Gu Shaoting pursed his lips before he said, “I have something to tell you.” “What is it?” Shu Pan looked at his hesitant expression.

Gu Shaoting didn’t say anything. Instead, he took out a card from his wallet and handed it to Shu Pan.

Shu Pan saw that it was a bank card. She asked in confusion, ‘Why are you giving me this?”

“Take it. Consider it emerzencv funds. You can use it however vou want. Don’t

be too hard on yourself and Joy.”

Gu Shaoting’s trip to the supermarket with them tonight made him realize that the mother and daughter weren’t living an easy life.

Shu Pan’s salary alone wasn’t enough to support the family.

Only then did he realize how cruel he had been. He vowed to never let them live a hard life.

“I don’t need it. I have hands and feet. I can earn my own money. Moreover, I’m nobody to you now. Why should I spend your money?”

Shu Pan was adamant. It wasn’t just now. She also never thought of spending his money before they divorced. It was only later when she was forced into a corner because of debt problems that she started talking about money when they divorced. That was the only time she begged unabashedly.

She had gritted her teeth and survived for such a long time, so she didn’t need anyone’s help or charity now.

Gu Shaoting had expected her to say that. He had been a real jerk back then.

“You see, I often come to your place to freeload. Just treat it as food expenses.” Gu Shaoting had no choice but to find an excuse.

Shu Pan still refused to accept it and Gu Shaoting was very frustrated.

The next day at work, Gu Shaoting sat in his office. He was restless early in the morning and in low spirits.

He just couldn’t understand why Shu Pan wouldn’t accept his bank card. If it were any other woman, they would have been so grateful.

He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he did not even notice Secretary Zhang walk in.

Secretary Zhang saw the worry between his brows and swallowed the “CEO Gu” that was about to come out of his mouth.

The sound of the door closing startled him.

“What’s the matter?” Gu Shaoting snapped out of his daze and asked Secretary Zhang, who was not far away.

Secretary Zhang immediately handed some documents over respectfully.

“These are the documents to be reviewed today. And these are to be signed…”

Secretary Zhang then gave him a series of work updates. Gu Shaoting listened but didn’t remember a single word.

“CEO Gu, that’s the schedule for today. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back to my desk.” Secretary Zhang said after his updates.

Gu Shaoting was too lazy to talk, so he waved his hand to dismiss Secretary Zhang.

Just as Secretary Zhang was about to open the door, Gu Shaoting called him back.

He then looked up at Secretary Zhang and asked, “Do you have a girlfriend?”

Secretary Zhang was flattered. Did his busy boss care if he had a girlfriend?

But he still answered frankly, “Yes.”

“Does she spend your money?” Gu Shaoting asked.

“She wished she could hold on to my wallet. How could she not spend my money? She even complains that I don’t have enough money in my wallet sometimes!” Secretary Zhang complained bitterly despite being a willing party.

Gu Shaoting was also a willing party..
