After Shu Pan washed up, she went to the kitchen. She figured there was probably nothing to eat here since they hadn’t lived here for a while.

Actually, Gu Shaoting didn’t tell Shu Pan that when he planned to bring her here, he had already instructed the part-time helper to stock up the fridge.

Therefore, when Shu Pan opened the fridge, she was surprised that it was so well-stocked. Gu Shaoting had indeed planned this meticulously.

She rummaged through the fridge and saw that there were more dried goods and less fresh food. The part-time helper probably assumed that they wouldn’t be here long.

After all, Gu Shaoting brought her to their old apartment on a whim.

Shu Pan found fresh prawns, dried scallops, lean meat and decided to cook porridge. Porridge was easy on the stomach in the morning.

It was the weekend, so Gu Shaoting didn’t need to go to work. They would probably go back to Qiyuan at noon.

Therefore, Shu Pan rinsed the rice, put it in a claypot, top up with some water and then put it on low flame on the stove. She then cleaned and prepped the prawns and scallops.

When the rice and water came to a boil, she tipped the other ingredients into the pot and continued cooking the porridge on low flame.

Gu Shaoting was very sleepy but he woke up a little when Shu Pan left the room because he would sometimes panic when she wasn’t by his side.

He casually picked up a dark blue dressing gown and put it on. He was still fastening the belt when he walked out and saw Shu Pan with her hair tied up in a messy ponytail wearing his white shirt. As Shu Pan was smaller than him, his shirt looked like a dress on her, reaching just above her knees.

It was no surprise that Shu Pan was dressed like this because she couldn’t find anything to wear in this apartment and her pajamas had been torn to pieces last night.

Gu Shaoting didn’t make a sound. He just leaned against the door frame and watch Shu Pan move around the kitchen in a wifely yet sexy manner.

He finally couldn’t stand it anymore, walked up to her and hugged her from behind. His chin was rested on her shoulder when he said, “Why do you bother with cooking porridge? We can always eat out.”

Shu Pan turned her head and looked at him before she said, “I prefer to eat at home. Besides, I didn’t know when you’d wake up, so I made porridge first.”

Although outside food was delicious and varied, it didn’t give people the feeling of home. It was only for enjoyment. However, cooking a bowl of porridge for the person one cared about was a way to show love.

“I don’t want you to work so hard.” Gu Shaoting whispered in her ear.

“If cooking porridge is hard work, what other work can I do? I don’t want you to spoil me like a child. If I don’t know anything and don’t do anything, are you sure you will still like me?” Shu Pan said as she turned around and wrapped her arms around his neck.

“I like you no matter how you are.” Gu Shaoting pressed his forehead against hers and the two of them leaned against each other.

“Nonsense.” Shu Pan said with a smile. “The porridge is almost done. Hurry up and go wash up. We should go back to Qiyuan after breakfast. Baby hasn’t seen me for so long; I wonder how he is doing.”

Shu Pan was always thinking about their son. Joy was older now, so she was more relaxed about Joy.

“Hmph, Mom and the nanny are both there to take care of him. Why do you worry?” Gu Shaoting was a little unhappy that she was thinking about their son when she was with him.

Shu Pan could not help but roll her eyes at him. She couldn’t believe that this man was jealous of his own son.

“Quickly go.” Shu Pan patted his shoulder.

Gu Shaoting sneakily pecked Shu Pan on the cheek before he walked away.

However, before he left the kitchen, he asked Shu Pan, “How did your hubby perform last night?”

It would have been better if he didn’t mention it. Shu Pan’s face turned red the moment he said it. She couldn’t help but answer with a chuckle, “Passable.”
