Let’s Divorce As Agreed-Chapter 1134 - 1133 Discussion

Chapter 1134: Chapter 1133 Discussion

Shu Pan greeted her manager and then left the office.

She’d discuss the business trip with Gu Shaoting when she got home.

Although she was reluctant to leave her child, sometimes she had to learn to let go.

Because she didn’t want to aggrieve herself too much anymore.

Sometimes, being too considerate was taken for granted.

When Shu Pan got home after work, Gu Shaoting was already playing with Xiaobao.

Lately, he seemed to come home early quite often, and he frequently tried to please her.

But she didn’t fall for that.

“Crying wolf” too many times had made it ineffective.

During dinner, Shu Pan spoke up, “I’ll be on a business trip for ten days next week, so I’ll have to trouble you with everything at home.”

Shu Pan’s tone was indifferent, and she didn’t address anyone specifically, but since only she and Gu Shaoting were at the table, he knew the words were meant for him.

Upon hearing this, his brows furrowed deeply, what did she mean—business trip?

She had a family; what business could she possibly have?

What sort of company does she work for? So inhumane! And for such a long time, ten days.

“We have two children at home, can’t you ask the company to arrange for someone else to go?” Gu Shaoting said in a calm and gentle tone.

“Don’t we still have you at home? The company wouldn’t have arranged it if it weren’t necessary,” Shu Pan said, still in that casual tone.

Suddenly, Gu Shaoting felt a rush of anger, and his face instantly became sullen, as cold as ice.

“How is that the same? And with such a large company, it’s not like they can’t function without one married employee,” Gu Shaoting blurted out without thinking.

No sooner had he spoken than he immediately regretted it. Damn, what had he just said? It was too hurtful.

“Gu Shaoting, is this how you value me in your heart?” Shu Pan said angrily.

“Panpan, I’m sorry, that’s not what I meant, I misspoke,” Gu Shaoting immediately apologized.

But how do you take back words already spoken, or water that’s been spilled?

And if it weren’t truly what he thought, how could it have slipped out?

Shu Pan thought with some sadness, her efforts must seem like a joke in his eyes.

Did he think her job was just playing house?

“Gu Shaoting, even if I don’t have your talents for managing a big company, I am always anxious and careful at my own job. I work hard without expecting anything in return but to have a clear conscience. I don’t have to rely on you,” Shu Pan’s words were terrifyingly calm.

Gu Shaoting was furiously cursing himself inside. What was he doing, trying to outdo his wife?

“Panpan, I spoke in haste without thinking, don’t take it to heart,” Gu Shaoting said, feeling somewhat guilty.

“No matter what you think, I still have a job to do, and I’m going to do it,” Shu Pan was truly heartbroken, but she was also relieved to have a job that kept her from being entirely dependent and losing her dignity.

Alas, Gu Shaoting hadn’t meant it, but Shu Pan clearly took his words seriously—it was indeed a headache.

Their relationship had been a bit tense already, and now it had hit rock bottom.

Gu Shaoting really wanted to knock some sense into himself; what had he been doing recently?

After finishing dinner, Shu Pan cleaned up a little and then left.

She didn’t glance back at Gu Shaoting. Perhaps it was best they both cooled off.

Having been married for so long, she knew him well enough. Perhaps she had been too understanding and indulgent. Occasionally leaving him to his own devices might be better.

Watching Shu Pan’s retreating figure, Gu Shaoting sighed. He Ming was right; his emotional intelligence was truly in the negatives.
