Gu Shaoting's business trip this time was quite long, almost half a month. Some issues had arisen at the overseas subsidiary, but fortunately, they were caught in time and the losses were minimized.
By the time he returned home, he was utterly exhausted. Shu Pan and the kids were already asleep, so he didn't have the heart to disturb them and just kissed her forehead lightly.

Every day, when he finally managed to squeeze in some time to call her, he would see that it was already midnight over there.
In the morning, as dawn gently broke, and the sky was just turning light, Shu Pan awoke to find the person who had been away for half a month suddenly lying beside her, which gave her quite a start.
