Chapter 791: Declaration of Love
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
People would think that a woman who had just given birth would look a little bloated, but Gu Shaoting thought Shu Pan looked even more attractive now.
Her fair skin seemed to be glowing. She was so beautiful that he wanted to hide her from the world. He felt very possessive of her.
After they ordered, Shu Pan looked at the jug of fruit juice in front of her and poured herself a glass. She then reached out and poured Gu Shaoting half a glass of red wine. As she was breastfeeding, she wouldn’t touch alcohol at all.
“I’ll toast you with my glass of fruit juice.” Shu Pan raised her glass at Gu Shaoting.
Gu Shaoting elegantly picked up his glass and clinked glasses with her. Their eyes met across the table, and a silent smile appeared on their faces. They raised their glasses and drank without breaking eye contact.
Shu Pan took a sip of fruit juice and put down her glass. “Why do you suddenly want to eat out tonight?”
Shu Pan had been wondering about this. It wasn’t any anniversary or birthday as far as she could remember.
“I just wanted to take you out. You must be bored being stuck at home every day. I’ve been so busy lately that I’ve neglected you.” Gu Shaoting said apologetically. He did feel bad for being so busy at work with non-stop meetings and social engagements.
“It’s okay. I’m taking care of Joy and the baby at home. I don’t feel bored.” Shu Pan smiled gently with motherly love emanating from her entire being.
Gu Shaoting interlaced his fingers and propped his chin on them. He stared at the woman across from him, his heart melting. What did he do to deserve such a good wife?
“You’ve never said ‘I love you’ formally to me since we met.” Gu Shaoting took the opportunity to complain.
Shu Pan thought about it seriously and blinked several times. Her face was burning as she said, “We’re already an old couple. Why do we still need to say those words?”
“We need to keep our feelings fresh. You haven’t said it before, right? Now, let’s hear it.” Gu Shaoting smiled.
Shu Pan immediately snorted. “You haven’t told me before too, did you? Why haven’t I heard it before?” How could she just let this be a one-way street?
Gu Shaoting suddenly sat up straight and confessed his love. “Then I’ll say it first. Shu Pan, I love you. I want be with you for the rest of my life.”
Shu Pan was a little stunned by his sudden declaration. Her face instantly turned red and her long eyelashes fluttered as if she was psyching herself up. After she prepared herself, she looked up and said with a smile, “I love you too.”
When Gu Shaoting heard her confession, emotions soared in his heart. He couldn’t help but feel warm. This was the most beautiful declaration of love he had ever heard. It sounded like an angel’s song.
“Say it again, I’d like to hear it again.” Gu Shaoting asked.
“No, I won’t. Nice words don’t need to be repeated.” Shu Pan smiled as she looked out the window.
“Are you really not going to repeat it? Beware of the consequences, yeah?” Gu Shaoting threatened with a smile.
“I’m not afraid.” Shu Pan pouted.
Gu Shaoting looked at her meaningfully but didn’t press the issue. At this moment, their dishes were served. The two of them began to eat in silence. Gu Shaoting considerately picked up different dishes for Shu Pan. “Have a taste. These are all their signature dishes.”
Their eyes met time and again as they ate in silence. The atmosphere was warm and romantic.
It was almost 9 p.m. when they finished dinner. Gu Shaoting took Shu Pan home.
“Pack a set of pajamas. We’ll spend the night at Shuimu Qinghua tonight.”
That was their former home. Shu Pan was slightly puzzled. Why did he want to go there?
Although they only hired a part-time cleaner, the place was clean.
“But little baby…”Shu Pan is worried.
“Let the nanny take care of him for the night after you feed him. He’s getting older and can’t stick to you all the time.” Gu Shaoting said with a frown.
Shu Pan had never been away from the baby since he was born. Now that he was a few months old, she could try letting go.
