Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Shu Pan couldn’t be blamed for not hearing Gu Shaoting walk into the kitchen. The cooker hood was very loud. Coupled with the stir-frying sounds, Shu Pan really couldn’t hear anything else.
Gu Shaoting wrapped his arms around Shu Pan from behind. “What delicious food are you making?”
Shu Pan wanted to forget about the arms around her waist but it was difficult to ignore the heat from his hands.
“I’m making your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs.” Shu Pan’s eyes revealed a bright smile.
Gu Shaoting looked at the ribs in the wok and felt quite touched. After all, if Shu Pan wasn’t at home, he would be home alone staring at the walls.
“Wow, I love sweet and sour pork ribs.” Gu Shaoting tightened his arms around her.
“I know. You’re the VVIP today, so I’m making your favorite dishes. You can ask for anything today.” Shu Pan said indulgingly. “What else would you like to eat? Tell me. I’ll satisfy your requests today.”
“What do you mean?” Gu Shaoting still didn’t get it. After all, he was a very busy CEO with no bandwidth to remember any romantic dates… He definitely didn’t pay much attention to birthdays.
“Silly, today is your birthday. Don’t you remember?” Shu Pan reminded him. Seeing his confused face, she knew that he had indeed forgotten.
“Oh right, I forgot.” Gu Shaoting was too preoccupied with the recent fight he had with Shu Pan that he was in no mood to remember such things.
“Then what else does the birthday boy want to eat? You’ve been working hard lately. I think you’ve lost weight. It makes my heart ache.”
Gu Shaoting felt like he was on cloud nine. He touched his face as he said, “At least you noticed that I’ve lost weight. Because of our recent fight, I couldn’t eat or sleep well. I don’t want to go through that ever again.”
Gu Shaoting’s voice was full of grievance.
“I was also in a fit of anger then. But every night when it was quiet, I would miss you.” Shu Pan continued with a smile, “I know that it’s your birthday today, so I took a day off to shop for ingredients to make you a delicious meal.”
The thought did cross Gu Shaoting’s mind. If he hadn’t compromised and Shu Pan decided to ignore him forever, how would he live? He had to do something to end the fight.
Now that he realized that she cared so much about him, he couldn’t feel any grievances. On the contrary, his heart was filled with warmth.
Suddenly, he smelled a burnt smell. “The gravy around the pork ribs has been reduced so much. Are they burnt? I wonder if they are still edible…”
“Darn. This is all your fault. You distracted me.” Shu Pan quickly turned off the stove when she saw the almost dry wok.
“It’s okay. As long as it’s made by you, I will love it.” Gu Shaoting pouted and said coquettishly.
“Alright then. Even if the ribs don’t taste good, you must try your best to finish them because I made them specially for you.” Shu Pan replied sweetly with loving eyes.
Gu Shaoting’s heart stirred. No matter how the dish turned out, he would happily eat it.
“Do you want to take a shower and change out of your clothes first? I still have two more dishes to cook before we can eat.” Shu Pan was still suffering from morning sickness but the baby probably knew that today was his father’s birthday, so he had been more cooperative. Shu Pan only felt slightly nauseated but she did not vomit.
With that, Shu Pan tiptoed and turned around to kiss the corner of his mouth. “Hubby, did you miss me when we were fighting?”

She seldom called him “hubby”, so he was a little lost as he felt his heart melt.
