But Gu Huanhuan was still surprised that the press release mentioned her brother/cousin. That was not good.
She couldn’t help but massaged her forehead to calm down.
Sure enough, the incident wasn’t over. Gu Huanhuan was “invited” to Qiyuan that night.
When Gu Huanhuan arrived, Shu Pan was bathing the children while her cousin, Gu Shaoting, sat in the living room with a gloomy and unfriendly expression.
Gu Huanhuan was quite afraid. She prayed in her heart that Shu Pan would come out quickly because only she could control Gu Shaoting.
Unfortunately, the heavens didn’t hear her prayer and Shu Pan didn’t come out. Instead, her cousin gave her a cold look.
“Sit.” His word was like an icicle in the middle of winter, so cold that it was frightening.
Gu Huanhuan sat down uneasily and asked softly, “What’s up?”
Gu Huanhuan feigned innocence. She had experienced her cousin’s bad temper before.
Gu Shaoting paused before he asked, “Don’t you have something to tell me?”
“Uh, everything’s been pretty good lately.” Gu Huanhuan laughed. She wasn’t sure if Gu Shaoting already found out about the photos.
But it was hard to say. After all, some of her co-workers were referred by him. It wouldn’t be a surprise if he had found out.
“What’s with the photos? I don’t remember sending you to the studio this morning. Gu Huanhuan, you are getting bolder. What did you promise me before?” Gu Shaoting’s words were very soft, but they caused Gu Huanhuan to tremble with fear.
She knew that the incident wouldn’t be over so easily.
“Um… Those were accidentally taken when a friend sent me to work.” Gu Huanhuan stammered.
“Which friend?” Gu Shaoting was relentless.
Gu Huanhuan was getting a little impatient from the interrogation. She simply confessed, “My boyfriend. We just got together. He’s a good person.”
“How do you know he’s a good person? There are so many love scammers nowadays, conning people for money and sex.” Gu Shaoting said coldly.
“He’s cousin-in-law’s friend and a doctor. Do you think he’s a bad person?” Gu Huanhuan did not hold back. She knew that her cousin would find out eventually given his status and influence.
Gu Shaoting furrowed his brows and thought. Wen Chi’s name came to him very quickly.
But he couldn’t find anything bad to say about Wen Chi. He was an outstanding man after all.
It wasn’t a bad thing for him to be in a relationship with Huanhuan. That way, he would get over Shu Pan and give up on her completely.
He looked forward to telling Shu Pan the good news. It would please her.
“Just don’t cause any trouble. Invite him here for dinner someday.” Gu Shaoting ordered Gu Huanhuan.
Gu Huanhuan nodded reluctantly. Would other couples be like them? They had just gotten together and hadn’t even enjoyed their honeymoon period yet everyone was talking about them.
But it was a good thing that her cousin knew. She didn’t have to hide it from him anymore.
At this moment, Shu Pan walked out. When she saw Gu Huanhuan, she said in surprise, “Huanhuan is here? I heard that you’ve recently embarked on a new project. I thought you’d be too busy to come over.”
“I’m shooting a new movie but I can still come over when I’m free.” Gu Huanhuan glanced at Gu Shaoting and knew that he would tell Shu Pan, so she didn’t say more. After all, she was a thin-skinned girl. She was too shy to tell people such things.
“Our whole family will go and support you when it’s premiered.” Shu Pan said gently.
“Thanks, cousin-in-law.” Compared to Shu Pan’s kindness, Gu Shaoting was a monster.
Gu Shaoting got up from the soda after he saw Shu Pan. He leaned over and planted a kiss on Shu Pan’s cheek in front of Gu Huanhuan before he went to the study to catch up with work.
Shu Pan was stunned. She didn’t expect Gu Shaoting to do such a thing.
Gu Huanhuan was also stunned. She did not expect her cousin to be so considerate and romantic nowadays.
