His burning gaze landed on Gu Zi. Her heart raced while her cheeks started to heat up.
Gu Zi wondered, what happened to the cold personality, noble and elegant?
He stood before her, exuding elegance, yet he seemed less aloof towards her. In fact, he seemed a bit flirtatious.
Was he jealous? If so, Gu Zi admitted that she was swayed by the older man’s attention.
Su Shen noticed her shyness. As there were many people waiting and not receiving her response, he turned to greet the Lin family and handed the milk and eggs he brought to Lin Cheng.
Mrs. Lin said, “You don’t have to bring so much every time. The food you sent last time is enough for a long time.”
Su Shen said, “My own parents have passed away.
The two children walked to Gu Zi’s side and took out all the snacks in their pockets.
Gu Zi was dumbfounded. Then, she smiled and asked, “Are these for me?” Su Bing said yes, and Su Li nodded.
Gu Zi took a pack of spicy strips and said, “Thank you, I really like these.”
Both of them were blushing because they overheard their grandmother mention their stepmother thinking about them. They were children who were now cared for by their mother.
They both really wanted to call her “Mom” but were afraid she might get upset.
After all, those previous aunts had refused to marry their dad because of them.
Nobody would want three tag-alongs calling themselves “Mom.”
Mrs. Lin saw these two children and remembered yesterday’s conversation. She felt a deep affection for them.
She fried eggs for them to eat. As the two children were not very familiar, they didn’t want to say they had eaten already, so they followed her to the dining table.
Lin Cheng and Li Hua were having breakfast. When they saw the two boys arrive, just like with Su Le yesterday, they kept offering them delicious treats.
Su Bing and Su Li were so happy they didn’t want to refuse. They discovered that not only did their mother truly love them, but her family didn’t dislike them either.
On the way here, they were worried that their mother’s family might despise them as baggage, but now they were relieved.
Mrs. Lin went outside to help Mr. Lin sun-dry chili peppers, leaving Su Shen and Gu Zi alone.
Su Shen asked, “Lele hasn’t woken up yet?”
Gu Zi shook her head, “She’s inside. Let me take you to see her.”
As they entered the room, Su Shen suddenly embraced her, catching Gu Zi off guard. Her heart raced wildly.
She remembered the scene between them on the bed that day and lowered her eyes, not daring to look at him.
With her hands against his chest, she whispered, “Su Shen, weren’t we going to see Lele?”
As if a switch had been turned on, he became quite the charmer. His voice was ambiguous as he said, “But you haven’t answered me yet—do you miss me?”
Gu Zi thought that the question had already passed, but the older man wouldn’t let it go.
She hesitantly replied, “I do miss you.” Her face turned crimson.
Inwardly, she complained. The older man had become mischievous, but what was the point of it?
His body couldn’t perform, making it impossible for her to enjoy the pleasures of intimacy.
Seeing her shy, Su Shen didn’t want to tease her further. He let her go and said, “How about today we go pick out a wedding dress?”
Gu Zi looked up and, sitting on the edge of the bed, replied, “Isn’t there work at your pig farm? I can go by myself to pick a dress.”
In truth, Gu Zi hadn’t thought about wearing a wedding dress. In this era, rural brides usually wore a new outfit for the wedding.
However, she secretly anticipated it. Modern women could accept not getting married, but hardly any modern woman could resist the temptation of a wedding dress.
After hearing her response, he fell silent. This woman wanted to leave him alone to buy her own wedding dress.
Looking at Gu Zi, he said, “I want to be the first one to see you in your wedding dress. Don’t worry about the pig farm; Jinlong is taking care of it.”
Gu Zi’s gaze unintentionally lingered on him. His attire today was quite different-
He wore a fitted black short-sleeved top that resembled a military training outfit. His clothes highlighted his well-built biceps and chest, drawing attention to his smooth physique, making it hard to look away.
Paired with camouflage pants tucked into black boots, he appeared casual yet extremely cool.
Most importantly, this outfit completely released his masculine charm, making her feel a tingling sensation.
Could she resist such a masculine guy? She couldn’t..
