106 Setting a Wedding Date

A square bottle smashed into the trees outside the window, leaving remnants of the red ink on the branches.

Gu Quan slept until noon.

He opened his eyes as the phone rang. After talking to his secretary, he found a figure next to him who was not supposed to be there.

Vague memories flashed through his mind the next second.

He leaned against the bed and stared at the face in a daze.

“Quan…” Su Tian, who woke up later, sheepishly grabbed a piece of blanket and leaned into his arms.

Her sexy morning voice brought Gu Quan back to his senses.

He held her waist and looked at the marks on her neck. He felt guilty. “I’m sorry. I drank too much last night.”

“I’m not blaming you.”

She buried her head in his neck. “Can you rub my waist? It’s a little sore.”

“Other than your waist, where else do you feel uncomfortable?”

“That’s all.”

“We…” Gu Quan suddenly thought of something very important and stopped rubbing her waist.

He thought for a moment and asked gently, “Do you want a child?”

At the mention of children, Su Tian’s heart tightened.

She knew that the possibility was slim, but she still refused to let go of the last chance. “Yes.”

“Then let’s get married at the end of the year?”

“At the end of this year?”

“Yes.” Gu Quan took on the responsibility and promised without hesitation.

Seeing her look of disbelief, he smiled and kissed her cheek. “Will you marry me?”

“Yes!”

When Su Tian replied, her eyes were red from tears.

She hugged his waist tightly and enjoyed the feeling of being loved. “Quan, marrying you is my biggest dream.”

“Don’t cry.” Gu Quan’s heart ached. “Tian, when do you think is a good day to get married?”

Su Tian pondered for a moment. “How about Christmas?”

“Sure.”

“Then when are you going to bring me to see your parents?”

“They’ll only be back next month.” Gu Quan caressed her waist. “I’ll make arrangements for you to meet as soon as possible.”

“That’s great.” Su Tian smiled sweetly.

She climbed onto his body to kiss him and push him down on the bed.

Amidst the happy moans and laughter, the hidden crisis would surface and destroy her dream bit by bit.

A rainy day made people sleepy.

A gust of cold wind blew into the planning department from the glass window.

Lin Jiao closed the window and walked into the resting area. She yawned and opened the thermos on the table.

After sniffing the fragrant pork trotter soup, she asked the one sitting opposite her seriously, “Yilan, aren’t you sick of it yet?”

“I’m sick of it.” Pei Yilan, who had been eating it on and off for a few months, was almost disgusted.

She sighed. “For the sake of becoming more charming, I have no choice.”

“Have you noticed any change lately?”

“Yes, what about you?”

“Yes.” Lin Jiao scooped up a spoonful of pork belly and chewed it carefully. “I think we don’t have to eat anymore.”

“Then we’ll stop for a while?”

“How long is a while?”

“Two or three months?” Pei Yilan picked up the soup. “It’s easy to gain weight during the winter. We can continue after spring.”

“Alright.” Lin Jiao finished her lunch in a state of drowsiness. “Yilan, did you bring my key?”

“I did.” Pei Yilan took out the key from her pocket.

She leaned forward, eager to gossip. “Did you try the thing on the GIF with him?”

“Which GIF?”

“Which one did you try?”

“Not a single one.” Lin Jiao wiped her lips. “He refused to shower with me.”

“You don’t have to shower together. When the time comes, put those pajamas on. It’ll definitely be especially effective.”

“When will the pajamas arrive?”

“The day after tomorrow.”

Hearing that it was Wednesday, Lin Jiao nodded in satisfaction.

She picked up the plate filled with bone dregs and looked around for the trash can. “Yilan, is there a trash can behind your seat?”

“No.”

“Then I’ll go to the safe passage to take a look.”

“And this.” Pei Yilan grabbed the tissue on the table and followed her.

The moment the door to the safe passage was pushed open, a cold wind swept over.

They shivered and were about to open the trash can in the corner when their attention was attracted by the sobbing downstairs.

Pei Yilan stood on her tiptoes and looked down.

She pointed at the man and asked Lin Jiao in a low voice, “Have you seen him before?”

“I did this morning.”

“Who is him?”

“Pan Jun, the manager of the planning department.” Lin Jiao tightened her jacket and stood next to Lin Jiao.

“Isn’t your manager called Wu something?”

“Wu Xiuwen is the assistant manager.”

“I see.” Pei Yilan leaned forward, trying to see the woman sitting on the steps.

The woman was still sobbing with her back hunched, looking extremely sad.

She looked up. “Did you really mention it to her?”

“Really.” Pan Jun squatted in front of her, his eyes honest. “I made myself very clear to her.”

“Why didn’t she agree then?”

“She didn’t say why.”

“Then what are you going to do?” She was so choked up that she could not speak clearly. “Continue to put it off? Until our child is born?”

“Lan, calm down.” Pan Jun patted her back to calm her down and stop her from crying.

“How can I calm down? When my pregnancy becomes visible two months later, how can I answer when people ask me who the father of my child is?”

“I won’t make you wait that long.”

“How can you guarantee that?” Zhao Lan was afraid that the child would not be able to take it if she cried too hard, so she gradually stopped sobbing.

Pan Jun kissed her forehead. “I’ll file a lawsuit in court this month.”

“What if the verdict doesn’t allow for divorce?”

“If that’s the case, I’ll think of another way. If I had to, I would just give her half of the assets. That way, she’ll definitely agree.”

Zhao Lan took a deep breath. “Then why don’t you just give it to her? It won’t be good to either of you if this matter goes to court.”

“If I bring this up now, she’ll only ask for more than half of the assets. It’ll be easier to negotiate through legal procedures.”

“I don’t mind you giving her a little more.”

“I mind.” Pan Jun placed his hand on her belly and stroked it gently. “There are many things that a child needs money for.”

Seeing that he was determined, Zhao Lan did not stop him.

She leaned on his shoulder. “Brother Jun, the child and I will wait for you. Don’t disappoint us, okay?”

Pan Jun replied affectionately, “No matter how difficult it is, nothing can stop me from being with you.”

Looking at her stomach, he continued, “When you come out, Daddy will buy you all the toys in this world.”
