Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Zi felt an overall surge of energy in her body. How could she keep such a good thing to herself?

She was already content with the original owner’s appearance and skin condition. This stuff had to be consumed by Su Shen as well!

She asked, “Where did you put it? Let me see.”

Not understanding why she suddenly seemed so excited, but since she asked, Su Shen went downstairs and brought up a box for her to see.

After receiving the gift box, Gu Zi examined it carefully, confirming it was indeed snow clams, pure and untainted wild snow clams!

The snow toad and milk must have a strong nourishing effect.

She went downstairs with Su Shen and soaked the snow clams for tomorrow in water. She put the rest back in the fridge.

Gu Zi planned in her mind. If there was milk tomorrow, she’d make milk stewed with snow clams. If not, she’d directly steam the snow clams with Chinese wolfberries. She was very anxious to nourish Su Shen.

“Will you be going to the city soon?” she asked.

Su Shen was drinking water and did not know what she was thinking. He put down the cup and walked over to give her a glass of warm water. “Do you need me to bring something back? Just tell me.”

“I need two boxes of milk.” Gu Zi took the cup, had a sip, feeling its warmth, and the two of them went upstairs together.

“Alright, I’ll have them delivered tomorrow. You should rest early,” the man stood outside the door, waiting for her to enter before heading back to his room.

Gu Zi smiled softly, saying in a gentle voice, “Goodnight, Su Shen!”

With that, she entered the room and quickly fell asleep.

During breakfast the next morning, Su Shen mentioned he’d come back for lunch and instructed Gu Zi not to send him lunch.

He also informed Su Bing and Su Li that there’d be something for them tonight.

Su Bing and Su Li’s eyes lit up with anticipation. They cheerfully carried the nutritious meal boxes their stepmother had prepared and happily left the house.

In the morning, Jin Long delivered two boxes of milk. He was aware that at this time, only Gu Zi, a woman, and a child were at home. After bringing the milk into the courtyard and exchanging greetings, he left.

Gu Zi first prepared the ingredients for lunch and put the rice in the steamer before fetching two bottles of milk,

Snow clams had few impurities. She took the snow clams that she had soaked in water the previous night, removed the tendons, placed them in a large bowl, added a slice of ginger, two red dates, and a bit of rock sugar.

Finally, she poured milk into the bowl and placed it in a pot to steam.

At that moment, Su Le walked into the kitchen holding two pieces of milk candy, calling out, “Mom, Mom, eat!”

Gu Zi walked over, lifted her up, took the candy from her hand, and said, “Thank you, darling! Is Lele’s tummy hungry? Mommy will make you some milk formula.”

When Su Shen returned and saw her feeding Su Le milk, he remarked, “Take care of her. I’ll go stir-fry the dishes. What are we having today?”

Glancing at him, Gu Zi noticed his broad back moving towards the kitchen. His neat short hair seemed especially manly.

Without hesitation, she told him the dishes she planned to make for lunch today.

Twenty minutes later, when she entered the kitchen and turned off the heat, the entire room was filled with the fragrance of milk as she lifted the lid off the steamer.

Su Shen brought the dishes to the table and went to the living room to carry Su Le over for lunch. As soon as they sat down, Gu Zi handed Su Shen a bowl of stewed snow clams.

“You work so hard every day; you need some nourishment. Milk-stewed snow clams, try it!”

After she finished speaking, she stared straight at Su Shen. The expectant expression on her face made Su Shen’s eyes darken.

He had specially brought back good food for her to eat, so why was she asking him to eat it?

Snow clams were not only expensive but also rare. How could Su Shen not know their benefits?

They were beneficial for both women and men, serving as a potent enhancer for men.

As Su Shen recalled her excited expression from last night, it clicked. This young woman was craving closeness, perhaps even feeling that he needed nourishment.

“Alright,” he said, taking a sip while hiding a smile in his eyes. He hadn’t expected her to be so audacious.

Observing that he had consumed it, Gu Zi explained, “I believe this is quite beneficial. It’s something we should share. I even kept some for Su Bing and Su Su Shen finished the bowl in one go, displaying a carefree demeanor.

Presenting the empty bowl to Gu Zi, he remarked, “Yes, it’s delicious and quite invigorating.”

Possibly, there was nothing amiss with his body, but after drinking it, he felt a slight warmth within.

However, what could he do? Gu Zi believed he needed the nourishment, and he didn’t want to worry her..
