Let's Divorce As Agreed

Chapter 749: He Ming Is Also On A Business Outreach

Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“How could you be so careless? You knew she had feelings for you, yet you still gave her the opportunity?” He Ming found it hard to believe; this wasn’t like Gu Shaoting at all.

“I underestimated her. It’s my fault for trusting the wrong person,” Gu Shaoting admitted, feeling deeply frustrated with himself.

“Shu Pan must be furious,” He Ming remarked. Such a situation would be unbearable for any woman.

“Yes, I tried to explain, but she didn’t want to listen. That’s why I was distracted.”

“But you can’t hide the accident from her forever. It might be better to tell her now, so she can be by your side,” He Ming suggested.

“No, I need to think this through. She’s pregnant, and I can’t risk her health. Besides, I don’t even know if my leg will recover. I don’t want to burden her with taking care of both the baby and me,” Gu Shaoting explained, feeling the weight of his uncertainty.

“Alright. I haven’t told Xiaomeng either, just said I had an urgent business trip,” He Ming understood Gu Shaoting’s concerns.

Due to the severity of the accident and the potential for long-term effects, Gu Shaoting underwent a series of thorough examinations. His leg injury required ongoing treatment, preventing him from being discharged.

…

For several days, Shu Pan didn’t receive any calls from Gu Shaoting, which made her uneasy. Had she gone too far in their last conversation? Was he too busy to call her, or had he decided to ignore her entirely?

Lost in thought, Shu Pan was startled by the familiar ring of her phone. It was Xiaomeng.

“How do you have time to call me?” Shu Pan asked with a smile. Recently, He Ming had been keeping Xiaomeng at home after she had a bout of food poisoning from eating out.

“I’m bored out of my mind. I feel like I’m rotting away,” Ye Xiaomeng complained, being the type who couldn’t stay still.

“Ask He Ming to take you out. As long as he’s around, you won’t eat anything bad,” Shu Pan suggested sympathetically.

“You probably don’t know, but He Ming is on a business trip,” Xiaomeng mentioned casually.

“A business trip?” Shu Pan was taken aback. Was work really that busy?

“Yes, he left a few days ago in a rush. Oh, he’s also in France,” Xiaomeng added, trying to recall the details with her currently poor memory.

This made Shu Pan even more anxious. Gu Shaoting had said everything was fine and that he’d be back soon. Why would He Ming need to rush to France? Was something being kept from her?

“Did he say what the urgent matter was?” Shu Pan asked, pausing slightly.

“No, just that he had a lot of overseas calls and then booked a flight immediately,” Xiaomeng replied, realizing He Ming hadn’t provided any specifics.

“Oh. I guess it must be something important,” Shu Pan muttered, almost to herself.

After chatting for a bit, they ended the call.

Shu Pan gripped her phone tightly, debating whether to call Gu Shaoting. But the thought of those photos made her hesitate, and she put the phone down again.

Thus, several more days passed without contact between them.

Gu Shaoting refrained from calling Shu Pan, fearing she might find out about the accident. He was still very weak, and talking often caused him pain. The doctors had advised him to rest as much as possible. Even though he missed Shu Pan terribly, he restrained himself.

As a result, Shu Pan’s misunderstanding deepened. She believed that he was having such a good time in France that he had forgotten about her completely.
