Su Shen felt that he was, after all, inexperienced when it came to interactions
between men and women. At times, he feared that he might not be doing enough. He was worried Gu Zi would find life with him dull and uninteresting.
However, one thing he was certain of was that spending money could make Gu Zi happy. For Su Shen, this was not a difficult task, and he was more than willing to do it.
He was genuinely grateful for Gu Zi’s contributions to their home. She managed both the children and the household exceptionally well, making their home warm and blissful.
But most importantly, he wanted to love her properly, to cherish her as the most important person in his heart. He wasn’t afraid of Gu Zi spending his money. In fact, he was now more afraid of her not spending it.
Upon hearing his words, Gu Zi looked up. The man beside her had already
taken their little girl into his arms, seemingly afraid that she might tire herself out.
His towering height of over one meter ninety made him appear exceptionally tall and imposing, like a mountain standing by her side, exuding a strong sense of security. His physique was also impressive, and he carried himself with an elegant and noble air, dressed in a shirt and trousers.
Despite his usually cold face, he was now holding their child in one arm and his wife in the other. It was hard not to think that the reason for his cold demeanor was that he had given all his warmth to his wife beside him. How wonderful!
Gu Zi had initially wanted to say that she could carry their daughter, and even had plans to take her shopping. However, she didn’t want to disappoint her husband’s kind intentions.
She responded gently, “Alright, there are a few things I’ve been planning to buy. Let’s go to the farmer’s market. I remember it’s quite close to the school. We can shop and stroll around, and then pick up our eldest and second child from school.”
As far as she could recall, she and Su Shen had never picked up their children from school together. Today was the perfect opportunity to do so and return home amidst laughter and chatter.
Su Shen responded with a nonchalant “Hmm”, focusing his attention on the bustling street. He used his towering figure to protect his wife, fearing that passersby might bump into her. His intimidating aura naturally kept people at a distance.
To those unfamiliar with him, he might appear cold. But Gu Zi knew that he was just habitually focused.
He had to hold their child and be aware of their surroundings. Gu Zi knew that crowded places like these were often hotspots for pickpockets. Having fun was important, but they also needed to stay vigilant.
Su Shen led his wife and daughter through the crowd, returning to their car and driving towards the farmer’s market, which was just a short ten-minute drive away.
Upon exiting the car, Gu Zi looked towards the entrance of the farmer’s market. The number of people coming and going seemed to be even greater than before. Most of those entering were empty-handed or carrying baskets, while many of those leaving were laden with bags of goods. The prices at the farmer’s market were much cheaper than at department stores, making it a popular choice for everyday groceries and household items. It was indeed a lively place!
Gu Zi discovered that there were many small stalls on either side of the main entrance to the market, seemingly for shoe polishing. This was not surprising, as shoe polishing was a profitable and necessary industry in this era, with so much traffic at the entrance of almost every market.
This was Gu Zi’s first visit to this farmers’ market. The original host had been here before, and in Gu Zit s memory, the original host had often asked her foster parents to bring her here. However, the visits were always rushed, and they never took the time to browse. It seemed that the original host had come in search of fresh medicinal herbs to make a nourishing soup for Gong Zhan.
Gu Zi pursed her lips, feeling somewhat mentally exhausted. The original host’s memories seemed to be filled with Gong Zhan everywhere, a testament to her deep love. It was a pity that Gong Zhan was not the one worth loving with all her life. How long had it been since he married Lin Miao?
While Lin Miao was waiting for his sentence in prison, Gong Zhan was out watching a movie with MO Li. It was quite a spectacle…
Thinking about these things made Gu Zi inexplicably annoyed. However, she didn’t show it too obviously on her face, as she was still considering Su Shen. The original host’s past troubles should not interfere with him.
But what Gu Zi didn’t know was that Su Shen had noticed her unease. Perhaps even Gu Zi herself hadn’t realized that when she was troubled, she would unconsciously force a smile, a smile that didn’t reach her eyes.
Su Shen’s gaze was as cold as usual. Thinking of the person they had encountered at the entrance of the cinema, his gaze became even colder. He had also seen Gong Zhan, and there was a woman beside Gong Zhan, whose gaze on him was quite ambiguous.
Seeing Gong Zhan with another woman should have been hard for Gu Zi. Considering how she had confronted Gong Zhan before, Su Shen thought she might have started to let go, but he didn’t expect that man could still easily stir up waves in her heart..
