Gu Shaoting hugged her, comforting her.
He felt uncomfortable being caught in the middle, but he couldn't offend his mother, or she might cause trouble for Shu Pan when he wasn't paying attention.
Gu Huanhuan, unlike her usual lively self, also dressed up very elegantly early in the morning, looking very ladylike.
Why was she being so obedient? Because last time she took Shu Pan to attend a banquet, they almost got into trouble, and Gu Shaoting scolded her thoroughly. So now she's learned to behave.
Shu Pan smiled and told her not to be too uptight. Last time was an accident, but Gu Huanhuan still felt uneasy. Now, she stayed close to Shu Pan, watching carefully, afraid that something might happen again.
Almost all the invited guests had arrived. Gu Shaoting held Shu Pan and Joy's hands and walked to the front, introducing them to everyone and saying some polite words, inviting everyone to enjoy the feast.
