Let’s Divorce As Agreed-Chapter 1096 - 1095 Lies

Chapter 1096: Chapter 1095 Lies

“Okay, thank you,” said Lu Lei gratefully as he glanced at her before turning the car towards his home.

Soon, they arrived at Lu Lei’s house, a small white villa in a wealthy district that clearly came with a hefty price tag.

After parking the car, Lu Lei rushed into the house, with Shu Pan following close behind.

Just at that moment, Shu Pan’s phone in her bag suddenly rang.

She took out the phone—it was a call from Gu Shaoting. Shu Pan glanced at Lu Lei ahead of her, then turned slightly to answer the call, “Hello.”

“Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?” Gu Shaoting asked lightly over the phone, his voice carried a slight complaint.

...

“Oh, my phone was in my bag, I almost didn’t hear it,” Shu Pan said, somewhat guiltily.

Gu Shaoting on the other end gave a soft “Oh,” then asked, “Have you already gone back? It just poured heavily; did you get wet?”

Gu Shaoting’s concern made Shu Pan feel a warm touch. She smiled faintly, nodded, and quickly said, “No, I didn’t get wet, don’t worry. What about you? Where are you? Are you done with your work?”

“Not yet, we’re currently on a break during the meeting. I saw it was raining so hard just now, and knowing you were getting off work, I called to check on you,” Gu Shaoting said evenly, his voice calm and detached, betraying no particular emotion.

“Oh,” so that was it. Shu Pan acknowledged, as a smile crept onto her face at his concern.

“Have you gotten home?” Gu Shaoting on the phone seemed to want confirmation as he asked again.

Shu Pan thought for a moment, then nodded and responded, “Mmm, I’m home.”

She didn’t tell him that she was still out, as she didn’t want him to worry unnecessarily.

Gu Shaoting on the other side then fell silent for a while, no sound coming through the phone.

“Shaoting?” Shu Pan felt puzzled, so she called out tentatively.

After a while, Gu Shaoting’s voice finally came through again. He said, “I’m not done here yet, let’s leave it at that for now, I’ll hang up. I’ll try to come back as soon as possible.” After that, he hung up.

Shu Pan hung up with a soft smile and then entered Lu Lei’s house, just in time to see Lu Lei carrying his daughter out.

Due to her high fever, Lu Xinxin’s face was flushed red, her eyes closed, occasionally letting out a faint moan.

Since Lu Lei had to drive, Shu Pan held Lu Xinxin in the back seat of the car.

At this moment, Shu Pan forgot all awkwardness; she looked at the child in her arms, and her heart clenched.

Since becoming a mother, she found it even harder to see a child feeling even the slightest discomfort.

She stared at the child in her arms, her face etched with anxiety, and Lu Lei saw this scene in the rearview mirror, his heart warming at the sight.

This was the stuff of dreams, now so vividly real. If only it were true, it would be wonderful.

With fever muddled thoughts, Lu Xinxin kept clutching Shu Pan’s clothes, incessantly calling out “Mommy.”

Shu Pan’s heart ached at the sound. Children of single parents are really pitiful; her usual defiance was just a cover, and only when she was sick did her true, vulnerable side show.

Shu Pan held her hand tightly and soothed her with a gentle voice.

After a while, Lu Xinxin’s face calmed down, but her hand still clung tightly to Shu Pan’s clothes, unwilling to let go.

Shu Pan looked down, smiled knowingly, and didn’t mind at all.
