Gu Zi took the money back to her room and stashed it away with a faint smile on her face. The thought of becoming wealthy through marriage crossed her mind.
She felt that if she married Su Shen, she might indeed strike it rich.
She invited Su Shen inside again, saying, “Come in and have a seat.” Gu Zi believed that it was essential to maintain excellent service when dealing with this benefactor.
Su Shen nodded with a barely discernible smile playing on his lips. He sensed that his young wife had a slight penchant for money.
Su Shen, on the other hand, considered this to be a good trait.
His primary advantage seemed to be his ability to earn money, a lot of money. As he watched Gu Zi, he couldn’t help but feel the satisfaction of making money for the first time.
Following her, Su Shen entered and settled on the small sofa in the room. Gu Zi took a seat near the bed and tucked Su Le in comfortably.
“Have you heard about my biological parents? They were Lin Miao’s adoptive parents.” Gu Zi inquired, as she had never met them before, and something about the situation felt odd.
According to Lin Miao, they took the three thousand yuan betrothal gift, so they had probably run away with the money.
However, Gu Zi remembered that there was a description of this couple in the original book. They seemed to be quite concerned about the Host’s situation.
In the later parts of the plot, they even came looking for the host, wanting to know her situation.
Su Shen nodded and responded, “I’m aware of them, but I believe they moved away about a month ago. I don’t know their current address. Would you like to go visit them?”
Gu Zi hesitated for a moment, unsure of whether to go. Su Shen noticed her predicament but didn’t pressure her. He was willing to support her decision.
In truth, it no longer mattered to him whether the Lin family had taken the money or not.
At this point, he was solely focused on caring for Gu Zi and the children and providing them with a good life.
If Gu Zi wished to visit her biological parents, he would support her.
After a pause, Gu Zi finally said, “Then please help me find out the current address of the Lin family. I’d like to meet them.”
Su Shen found her request somewhat unusual since he had heard that the Lin family had visited the city to locate Gu Zi, but she had refused to see them. He considered Gu Zi a bit unpredictable.
Just like their engagement, she did not agree to marry him in Lin Miao’s stead at first, but later on, she came to him and said that she was willing to marry him.
Nonetheless, he agreed to her request, saying, “Rest for now, and I’ll inquire tomorrow. After we obtain the information, we can plan a visit. I’ll accompany you.”
Gu Zi hadn’t truly contemplated visiting the Lin family’s home but decided to go and uncover the truth behind the money after Su Shen’s offer. She thanked him and escorted him to the door.
Before he left, she asked, “What would you like to eat tomorrow?”
Su Shen replied, “What do you feel like making for me?”
Gu Zi was taken aback by this question. It felt somewhat intimate.
As she hesitated, Su Shen added, “I’ll eat whatever you cook. I find your cooking delicious.”
With that, he left, and Gu Zi looked at his departing figure with a shy smile. She couldn’t help but appreciate how well he complimented her.
Throughout the night, Gu Zi felt a warm, sweet sensation in her heart. The following day, the sun’s warm rays filled the house, and Gu Zi gradually awoke from her slumber.
She had dreamt about Su Shen the previous night.
After tending to her morning routine, she noticed that no one was home when she descended the stairs.
She made herself a bowl of egg noodles and read a book while she ate. Su Le was still fast asleep.
Gu Zi couldn’t help but feel grateful that Su Le was now able to sleep in. In the past, she used to wake up early, which had been unavoidable.
Now, Gu Zi allowed her to sleep until she woke up naturally.
Su Le eventually woke up around ten o’clock. Gu Zi prepared some rice porridge she had purchased the day before and served it to her.
“Lele, after you finish eating, we’ll bring food to Daddy later,” Gu Zi suggested. She didn’t intend to inconvenience anyone to care for Su Le that day, and she didn’t want to keep her at home.
Exposure to sunlight was beneficial for the child’s development, so they could enjoy the sun during their food delivery trip.
At noon, Gu Zi examined the ingredients at home and a thought struck her.
She decided to prepare several servings of pork chop fried rice, with the cabbage Auntie Zhang had given her the night before as a side dish.
It would be a simple, tasty, and nutritious meal.
Gu Zi swiftly prepared the dish, and after enjoying lunch with Su Le, they set off to deliver a meal to Su Shen..
