The man stood in place, touching the spot where he’d been kissed, unable to regain his composure for quite some time.
Her lips were so soft. In that instant of contact on his chin, he experienced a tingling sensation like never before.
He was glad she had fled after that one kiss. Even if it was a bit later, he couldn’t guarantee he’d restrain his desires from kissing her.
In the room, Gu Zi lay in bed, hands on her cheeks, which were boiling hot. Her heart was beating so fast, unable to settle for a long time.
What had she just done? Oh my, Gu Zi, what were you doing?
She resolved not to wake up so early tomorrow. She didn’t know how to face that man anymore.
Gu Zi regained her composure only after taking a shower. She cautiously peeked out after opening the door.
Once she ensured she wouldn’t encounter Su Shen, she went downstairs to carry Su Le upstairs, while instructing Su Bing and Su Li not to sleep too late.

She dreamt that Su Shen pinned her down on the bed, removed her clothes, kissed her lips, kissed her neck, kissed her chest, and panted heavily on her body…
She went to take a shower, hoping to wash away these memories with water. Otherwise, she really couldn’t face Su Shen.
When she carried Lele downstairs, Su Shen had already gone out. Su Bing and Su Li were having breakfast.
They were eating the dumplings she had specially wrapped and placed in the fridge. They only needed to boil them themselves in the morning.
However, she noticed a bowl of dumplings placed opposite the two children, seemingly prepared for her.
Seeing her, Su Li said, “Stepmother, you should eat too. Brother prepared them for you and Lele.”
Gu Zi thanked Su Bing, and his cheeks turned slightly red as he responded,
“You’re welcome.”
Gu Zi picked up the chopsticks and placed five dumplings in a small bowl. These were for Su Le; she wanted them to cool down before feeding her.
Since Su Le was still too young and couldn’t eat very hot food, Gu Zi started eating her dumplings.
She noticed Su Bing and Su Li were heading to school, so she asked them to take some snacks to school.
After breakfast, Gu Zi promptly washed the dishes, cleaned the kitchen and dining room.
Once Li Zhu came to take away the canned fruits, she used the bamboo cart she bought last time to take Lele out.
She hadn’t been to the market in Daqing Village before but heard it was on the west side of the village.
While walking, Gu Zi asked for directions. In times before smartphones were common, the mouth was the best navigator.
When she was nearing the market, she met a few familiar faces.
Gu Zi vaguely remembered seeing them at Su Shen’s pig farm before; they were also delivering meals to their men.
They greeted her, and Gu Zi responded with a smile on her face.
“Oh, Little Le Le is so well-behaved today, riding in the little cart looks so fun!” someone teased Su Le.
Su Le happily responded, “Yes, yes!”
“Sister-in-law, I heard Chu Xi went to your kitchen to poison it and stole things. Is your second child alright?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“That Chu Xi is too malicious. She even wanted to match her daughter with the boss!”
“She deserves it! Hasn’t she done enough wicked things? And that Chu Banxian is also not a good person! They should have been arrested long ago.” The group harshly criticized Chu Xi’s actions.
Gu Zi replied, “The second child is still recuperating, but it’s not a big issue anymore. Chu Xi has already been dealt with by the law, let the legal system handle her.”
After chatting briefly with them, Gu Zi bid farewell and continued toward the market.
In her mind, she thought of making pickled vegetables with cabbage, spinach, radishes, kale, and mustard greens.
However, she wasn’t sure what kinds of vegetables were available here, so she decided to buy whatever she saw.
As a result, as soon as Gu Zi entered the market, she saw an aunt selling green vegetables, precisely the type Gu Zi thought would be best for pickling.
She walked over and asked the aunt, “Auntie, how much are your vegetables? I’ll take them all.”
The aunt looked up and saw a very beautifully dressed woman before her, fair-skinned and lovely.
She asked, “Are you Mrs. Su, the Big Boss Su’s wife?”
Gu Zi wasn’t surprised; there were only a few villages around here, and Su Shen was a well-known figure. So, it wasn’t unusual for the woman to ask.
Upon hearing Gu Zit s confirmation, the aunt hurriedly said, “If it’s for you, I won’t take any money, just take them all.”
The aunt stood up and started putting the green vegetables into Gu Zit s small cart.
As she put them in, she teased Su Le, “Little Lele is living a good life now.. Beautiful Mommy is treating Little Lele so well!”
