Chapter 796: Nonsensical Suitors?

“You aren’t fat at all, so don’t be so hard on yourself.” Shu Pan felt that being a celebrity was really tough because they couldn’t eat as they pleased.
“Sigh. Cousin-in-law, you don’t understand. Even if I put on just half a kilogram, my face would look swollen on camera.” Gu Huanhuan grumbled.
Gu Shaoting couldn’t help but frown when he heard that. “Eat well and don’t torture your body. I told you not to be a celebrity.”
Gu Huanhuan made a face at Gu Shaoting, but she didn’t dare to say more. She had experienced her cousin’s toxic tongue. She could never win an argument with him.
Gu Huanhuan did not dare to dwell on the subject. She turned to look at Gu Xiaobao and changed the subject.
“Cousin-in-law, Xiaobao is so cute. He looks so much better than those child models on TV.” Gu Huanhuan couldn’t help but pinch Xiaobao’s cute cheek.
“That’s true. Just look at his parents.” Gu Shaoting and Gu Huanhuan seemed to be at odds tonight.
“Of course. My cousin-in-law is beautiful and feminine, and my cousin is super handsome.” Gu Huanhuan’s flattered Gu Shaoting loudly and he liked it.
Shu Pan looked at the narcissistic Mr. Gu and could not help but shake her head with a smile.
Then, she heard Gu Huanhuan say, “When can I have such a good-looking baby?”
Her tone was full of envy and admiration.
“You don’t even have a boyfriend. Isn’t that too tall an order for you?” Gu Shaoting mocked.
“Hmph, don’t look down on me. A fortune-teller told me that I have romance luck this year and will be married soon.” Gu Huanhuan replied indignantly.
“Better pray that you don’t attract only the nonsensical suitors.” Gu Shaoting refused to be outdone.
“Cousin-in-law, look at my infuriating cousin.” Gu Shaoting’s tongue cut her like a knife. Although she felt that she would probably attract some nonsensical suitors, it was very humiliating when her cousin said it so blatantly.
“There’s no rush. Take your time. You’ll meet your prince charming eventually.” Shu Pan comforted her. She always felt that some things were fated and not actively pursued.
“Thanks, cousin-in-law. I knew that you are the nicest to me.” Gu Huanhuan stood up and put her arm around Shu Pan’s shoulder.
“Don’t mind what your cousin said. He’s just joking.” Shu Pan smiled and shook her head. Gu Shaoting was sometimes juvenile like a kid.
“Xiaobao, let’s go out for a walk. We won’t stoop to the level of women.” Gu Shaoting took Xiaobao’s hand and left the dining table.
“Cousin-in-law, what do you see in my cousin?” Gu Huanhuan only dared to ask Shu Pan softly after she watched Gu Shaoting walk away.
“How do I put it? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. No one is perfect in this world, so don’t be too harsh about your other half. Your cousin has his shortcomings, but he also has strengths. He loves me, and that’s enough. You will meet your prince charming one day.” Shu Pan said gently to her.
“Tsk, I don’t need one. I’m fine on my own.” Gu Huanhuan said disdainfully. Little did she know that fate would befall her so quickly.
Shu Pan didn’t say anything. Things were destined sometimes, so it wasn’t up to Gu Huanhuan to say if she needed love.
Xiaobao had a very happy first birthday.
The once vibrant landscape of spring faded, replaced by the warmth and exuberance of summer.
The city started to feel hot and humid. Everyone changed out of their long sleeves into summer clothes. Xiaobao looked even cuter in short sleeves; his arms and legs looked like delicious lotus roots that one just wanted to bite into. When put on the lawn outside, he could play all day and babble non-stop.
Sometimes, Shu Pan couldn’t help but thank the heavens for giving her such a cute baby.
The days were very ordinary, but occasionally, something would happen and catch us off guard.
