Chapter 660: That’s How It Is

Xiaoyu, by the side, was very puzzled.

Why was Charlene proactively doing this recently? Wasn’t she the one who ran the errands previously?

“Let me do it, Charlene,” Xiaoyu said.

“No need, I’ll do it.” Charlene was very proactive. She now enjoyed doing this very much.

It was two design departments’ work but she brought all the documents to Shu Pan’s office. She knew that Shu Pan was in charge of this work.

Seeing she was so busy, she probably didn’t have time to look for Brother Gu anymore.

Moreover, this was assigned work, and she ensured a clear boundary between personal and work-related matters. So, she delegated with a clear conscience.

Hugging the documents, Charlene smiled faintly.

She went to Shu Pan’s office and handed the documents to the director. She looked around the office and saw Shu Pan drinking coffee on the balcony.

She seemed to be quite free. Charlene had thought she would find it unbearable and would complain to Brother Gu. However, she didn’t. She persevered.

Not only that, she also did well. If she didn’t do well, she would definitely speak up. Right now, she was looking for any leverage she could get.

Seeing that there was nothing else, Charlene could only leave indignantly.

Shu Pan returned home with a weary body. Gu Shaoting was not back yet. She sat on the sofa and closed her eyes to rest.

She suddenly remembered that it was Song Can’s birthday in a few days. How should she arrange it?

Although their relationship wasn’t harmonious, maintaining courtesy was necessary to avoid gossip.

Shu Pan felt it was better to wait for Gu Shaoting to come back and discuss because even if she arranged it well, Song Can would probably be dissatisfied.

While thinking, Shu Pan fell asleep on the sofa.

When Gu Shaoting returned home, he saw Shu Pan sleeping on the sofa, looking exhausted, and he couldn’t help but frown.

Just as he approached her, Shu Pan immediately sensed him and woke up. She was in a daze and opened her sleepy eyes.

“You’re back? Why did I fall asleep?” Shu Pan asked.

“Go back to the room to sleep if you’re tired. You easily catch a cold here, and your back will ache.” Gu Shaoting sat beside Shu Pan.

“I was waiting for you to come back. I don’t know why I fell asleep.” Shu Pan found it unbelievable that she had fallen asleep just like that.

“You look exhausted. Have you been very busy lately?” Gu Shaoting asked with heartache.

“A bit,” Shu Pan answered honestly. She had probably been too busy recently and could fall asleep while standing.

“You have to strike a balance between work and rest. Don’t take on everything.” Gu Shaoting knew her character and that she would do everything herself.

“I know. Have you eaten?” Shu Pan changed the topic.

“Yes, what about you?” Gu Shaoting asked.

“Yes, I have.” Shu Pan suddenly thought of Song Can’s birthday.” Mom’s birthday is coming soon. What are your plans?”

“Oh yes, I’ve forgotten about it if you didn’t mention it.” Gu Shaoting slapped his forehead. He had indeed forgotten about it.

“How about this? I’ll ask her for her opinion tomorrow and see if she has any plans. If she doesn’t, our family can have a meal together. How about that?” Gu Shaoting asked Shu Pan for her opinion.

“Alright, do as you said. However, I think it’s better to prepare a gift. I’ll go shopping tomorrow.” Shu Pan felt that she had to take her birthday seriously. Otherwise, she would be criticized again.

“Alright, you can decide on the gift yourself.” Gu Shaoting replied.

“Yes, I know.” Shu Pan was thinking of asking Xiaomeng out for shopping this weekend and asking her to help out. After all, getting a gift Song Can would like was not that easy.
