Back To The Past 2 : The Rise Of The False Heiress Marrying The True Tycoon

Chapter 338: Full of Sweetness

They were on their way to visit their grandfather, and along the way, they used their spare change to buy candy figurines for him.

Papa and Mother Lin gazed at the beautiful little candy figures, and even though they hadn't tasted them yet, the sweetness had already reached the depths of their hearts.

Mother Lin quickly fetched two boxes of milk for the children to drink. Gu Zi didn't stop her, after all, the milk was bought to be consumed; once it was finished, they could just buy more.

When Gu Zi and the children were about to leave, Mother Lin told Gu Zi, "Don't worry about your father, I'll be here. You should go about your business, don't always come to the hospital. You are Su Shen's wife, you should help him take care of the home, understand?"

Gu Zi could tell that her mother was genuinely considering her well-being, so she happily accepted her advice.

Gu Zi, Su Bing and the others arrived at the bottom of the hospital building, and faced a dilemma with the two bicycles in front of them. The best solution was for Gu Zi to ride one bicycle with one of the older children, who would hold the younger sister, while the other child would ride the other bicycle.

Gu Zi wanted to give Su Bing a ride because he was more calm and older than Su Li, making it safer for him to hold Su Le on the back seat.

However, before Gu Zi could voice her decision, Su Li cunningly claimed that his foot was suddenly in severe pain and he couldn't ride the bicycle.

He pleaded, "Mom, mom, you ride my bike, take me with you. I can hold my sister well too!"

Su Bing, seeing his younger brother's feigned performance, chose not to expose him. He would not compete with his little brother.

His younger brother was not one to seize opportunities. Su Bing knew that Su Li was just yearning for their mother's love.

Gu Zi saw through Su Li's little scheme, but she played along, exclaiming sympathetically, "Poor Su Li, then you'll have to hold your sister."

Su Li, as if entrusted with a significant mission, solemnly took his sister from Gu Zi. Gu Zi used a sling to secure Su Le to him, and after Gu Zi had settled herself on the front seat of the bicycle, Su Li, holding Su Le, climbed onto the back seat.

Throughout the journey, Su Li held his sister tightly, clutching his mother's skirt, and occasionally peeking at his mother from behind.

Even though his mother's figure seemed so frail, and she appeared so petite next to his father, he felt that his mother was incredibly strong and towering.

The wind blew past, carrying with it a faint fragrance from his mother's clothes...

When Gu Zi and the others arrived home, they found the front door open, a truck parked outside, and people moving construction materials such as sand and stone into the house.

At a glance, Gu Zi knew that these were ordered by Su Shen. She had asked him to buy materials for a clay oven she wanted to build, and she hadn't expected him to remember.

She guessed that Su Shen must have returned by now, so she pushed the bicycle into the yard.

Before she had taken a few steps, Su Shen came out from inside the house and took the bicycle from her to park it.

The man seemed to have just finished moving the materials, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. He was dressed in a dark vest for easy movement, his muscular physique on full display. Gu Zi found it hard to take her eyes off him.

When Su Shen turned around after parking the bicycle, he met Gu Zi's gaze and his heart skipped a beat.

She held out a tissue to wipe his sweat. The afternoon sun shone obliquely on her beautiful face, making her look especially gentle and pure, making him reluctant to taint her.

Su Shen took her small hand, pulling the tissue away, and said, "I'll do it myself. I just finished moving two bags of cement, I'm covered in dust. I don't want to get you dirty."

Gu Zi looked at him, words caught in her throat.

When they were in bed and he was smearing his seed all over her, why wasn't he so chivalrous, not worrying about getting her dirty?

Ignoring him, Gu Zi went to feed the pigeons and clean their cage. Pigeons loved cleanliness, and they would only feel at home in a clean and tidy place. To keep and tame pigeons, cleaning their cage every day was essential.

Su Shen's refusal to let Gu Zi wipe his sweat was a typical male mindset. He simply didn't want his sweet little wife to get dirty. How could he have known that his actions would lead to misunderstandings?

After he and the workers had finished moving the materials, he went upstairs to shower and change. Only when he was sure he was clean and fresh did he go to find his wife.

At that moment, Gu Zi was in the kitchen washing vegetables. The tall man approached her from behind and held her in his arms, his long arms enveloping her as they washed the vegetables together.

However, Gu Zi seemed somewhat uncooperative. When Su Shen asked her what was wrong, Gu Zi retorted, 'Weren't you afraid of getting me dirty earlier? Now you're not?"

Su Shen was confused. "Hmm?"

Gu Zi slipped out of his arms and moved to the stove.

If he wanted to wash the vegetables, she would let him.
