Su Shen turned to see the disappointed looks in the two childrens eyes, finally confirming that last night was no misconceptionhe was being avoided.
He initially thought that Gu Zis place in the childrens hearts had merely shifted, but it had reached a point where it was irreplaceable.
It appeared that whether he was present or not, Gu Zi always devoted herself to them wholeheartedly.
Sincere care begets the earnest reliance and support of the children.
During breakfast, Su Shen explained, She went back to the Lin family because our wedding banquet is approaching, and she wants to spend time with her family.
The two children lifted their heads, not expecting their father to explain these things to them.
Su Lis eyebrows lifted in excitement. So Stepmom isnt angry because youre so cold, and shes not leaving us, right?
Uncle Jin Long had mentioned that Dad had a reserved temperament and usually had trouble getting along with women, so it was normal for his relationships not to go smoothly.
Yesterday, he thought Uncle Jin Longs words were coming true again and worried a lot, leading to his current outburst.
Su Shen was speechless. Was he that cold? It seemed that he had to be more enthusiastic and proactive toward Gu Zi.
Su Bing broke out in a cold sweat from worrying about his brothers emotional intelligence.
However, knowing that Dad and Stepmom didnt have a quarrel, his suspended anxiety also dissipated.
He said to his brother, Finish your meal, youre getting confused from the slight cold.
Su Shen figured it out; they were afraid Gu Zi might leave. Indeed, not only were they afraid, he was afraid of losing her too.
He felt he couldnt wait for Gu Zi to return on her own. He wanted to go find her.
But he couldnt rush things; after all, they were intimate yesterday. Perhaps Guzi had slipped away due to shyness.
After much consideration, he spoke up, How about the day after tomorrow,
Saturday? We go find them together?
At these words, Su Li nodded eagerly, and though Su Bing didnt say much, he noticeably quickened his pace of eating noodles.
After finishing his meal, Su Bing started cleaning up. Su Shen was busy at the pig farm and didnt have time to prepare lunch for them.
He said, Heres money for you. Buy lunch at school.
Su Bing replied, Dad, we dont need it. Ive learned to cook. Stepmom taught me. Ill prepare lunch myself. If youre busy in the evening, you dont need to rush back. I can cook.
Su Shen nodded, a look of contentment in his eyes, and replied, Alright. He turned and left.
In the Little Lin Village, at the Lin familys house.
Gu Zi woke up early and made potato pancakes and pork congee with century egg for her family.
Li Hua looked at the exquisite breakfast on the table and praised, Sis, youre so capable! But let me do it in the future. When you come back home, theres no reason for you to do anything. A woman visiting her family should be cared for by her family.
Li Hua thought that the current Gu Zi was so much better than the previous Lin Miao in every aspect.
I woke up too early. I saw that there were ingredients in the kitchen, so I made something. Try it. Gu Zi said, picking up a piece of potato pancake for Li Hua.
At this moment, Mr. and Mrs. Lin and Lin Cheng also came over. They all praised Gu Zit s cooking skills.
Gu Zi hadnt slept well last night; every time she closed her eyes, shed see scenes of her and Su Shen being intimate.
She even vividly remembered the mans scorching touch. She knew she was getting addicted to Su Shen.
Gu Zi woke up very early today, noticing the slight swelling on her lips had subsided.
She recalled that when she arrived at the Lin familys house yesterday, everyone had looked at her with strange gazes. They had joked, I was worried that they had quarreled. However, it seems that their relationship is very good!
She only realized this morning that everyone was teasing her about her strange lips. She was instantly embarrassed and angry.
Su Shen had unexpectedly exerted so much force. Thankfully, he had an underlying issue; otherwise, she might not have been able to get out of bed yesterday.
She did not dare to think about it anymore. She had to say something to divert her attention.
Brother, how do you feel about the socializing for work? she asked Lin Cheng.
Lin Cheng paused in his meal of lean meat congee, appearing a tad uneasy when his sister directed a question at him. He set down his chopsticks, taking a moment before speaking. Its not as challenging as I thought, but doing physical labor doesnt seem as
He scratched his head, briefly at a loss for words to articulate his thoughts.
Do you perhaps mean socializing tires you out while rough work only demands physical strength? Gu Zi suggested..
