After dinner, Gu Shaoting returned home.

Upon his return, Shu Pan was probably in the midst of taking a shower as the sound of rushing water emanated from the bathroom. He suddenly felt a surge of warmth within himself. He hadn’t been drinking tonight, so what was going

Before long, Shu Pan emerged from the bathroom, clad in a soft pink sleepwear ensemble. Though it was modestly covered, the fabric accentuated her alluring figure with its graceful contours.

Seeing her, Gu Shaoting felt even more parched in his throat. He briskly walked to the kitchen, poured a glass of cold water, and guzzled it down, feeling much relieved afterward.

“Grandpa’s birthday is on Saturday. Get ready for it,” Gu Shaoting suddenly spoke, startling Shu Pan.

However, since they were the only ones in the house, Shu Pan knew he was addressing her.

“Sure, I know.” She definitely wouldn’t forget Grandpa’s birthday. She pondered what kind of gift she should get for him.

The Gu family in Bin City was a prominent and well-connected lineage.

Grandpa Gu’s birthday wasn’t initially planned to be grand, given his advanced age and preference for tranquility. He simply wanted to invite close family and friends for a cozy reunion dinner.

However, on that Saturday, quite a few people with intentions to connect with the Gu family showed up, bearing expensive gifts and offering birthday wishes without any invitation.

Birthdays were meant to be festive occasions, and since the guests were already there, they couldn’t be turned away. By late afternoon, the living of the Gu familys ancestral mansion was already filled with guests.

The guests continued to arrive gradually, and Shu Pan came relatively late due to waiting for Gu Shaoting.

She wore a simple sweater dress with a coat over it, paired with low-heeled flat boots. She looked poised and playful at the same time.

Because so many guests were present at home, Grandpa Gu was busy attending to them, unlike last time when he focused all his attention on Gu Shaoting and Shu Pan.

So, after parking the car, Gu Shaoting didn’t wait for Shu Pan and headed into the house on his own.

Shu Pan carried a gift, one that she had picked herself. She had chosen a cozy branded sweater for Grandpa Gu. It was a light gift with deep sentiment, as Grandpa Gu lacked nothing, and caring for him was the best gift she could give as a junior.

When Shu Pan entered, she saw that Gu Shaoting was already in conversation with Grandpa Gu.

Though they were separated by a distance and the crowd was noisy, Shu Pan could still hear their conversation.

“Where’s Pan? Why didn’t she come with you?” Grandpa Gu asked with confusion.

“She’s coming right behind me. She met some friends on the way,” Gu Shaoting explained.

Afterward, he spotted familiar friends and walked away.

Seeing this, Shu Pan approached Grandpa Gu to wish him a happy birthday and offered her gift.

Grandpa chuckled with a wide smile that he couldn’t quite close his mouth. Then, he joyfully held her and bombarded her with questions. It wasn’t until one of his old friends approached to exchange pleasantries with him that Shu Pan could finally take her leave.

Shu Pan always felt that such occasions weren’t suitable for her. Every time she encountered such gatherings, she was cautious, fearing making a mistake and becoming the subject of ridicule.

Not far away, Gu Shaoting was engaged in conversation with his friends, while Song Can, the hostess of the event, dressed elegantly, exuded charm, and seemed completely at ease in social situations. She appeared to be a natural when it came to socializing.

Observing Song Can busily moving around, Shu Pan hesitated about whether to approach and greet her..
