Chapter 119: My Health Is Fine

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Su Li waved his hand vigorously. “No, Big Brother. Stepmother says I’m also a man, just like you and Dad. I need to have the ability to protect the women in our family, just like you two!”

Gu Zi looked at Su Li in surprise. As expected of the future underworld boss!

In reality, all she did was to make him absorb the points she was trying to teach by saying he was a boy, just like an older brother.

She believed that anyone willing to put in the effort could become a fine gentleman like their father. Little did she expect him to infer other meanings from her words.

Su Bing stood up, ready to tidy up the dishes. “Oh, really? I need to see actions, then. ”

Knowing his brother’s character well, Su Bing knew that although he boasted about being invincible at times, he tended to give up easily. He intentionally said those words to provoke him.

Chin held high, Su Li’s eyes gleamed with determination. “Big brother, just wait and watch. I’ll definitely live up to my words!”

Joining his brother, Su Li swiftly helped with the chores, quickly cleaning up the dining table.

As they were about to wash dishes in the kitchen, Gu Zi called them over. “Hold on before washing up. Let’s each have a bowl of snow clam stewed with milk.”

Su Bing and Su Li gazed at the milky white liquid in front of them, with semi-transparent objects floating inside, along with red dates.

They weren’t familiar with what snow clams were, but they assumed those semi-transparent items were the clams.

Upon tasting, they found it surprisingly pleasant. The clams had a slight fishy taste, but it was subdued by the mild ginger flavor, becoming somewhat fragrant. The texture was delicate and smooth to chew, combined with the aroma of milk and red dates, resembling a dessert.

“Why aren’t you eating, Su Shen?” Gu Zi and Lele finished a bowl each and noticed Su Shen’s hesitation, prompting her to ask.

With a hint of bitterness in his smile, Su Shen felt utterly helpless. He should have refused, but he couldn’t bear to reject this woman, who simply wanted to improve his health.

He took a spoonful before saying, “Gu Zi, I think I’ve had enough nutrition today. You and the kids should have more. My health is fine, no need to worry.”

The phrase “no need to worry” from a man could convey subtle nuances, but it was challenging to provoke thoughts in someone who had already concluded he had sexual dysfunction.

Narrowing her eyes slightly, Gu Zi wasn’t worried about his physical health; it was his performance she was concerned about!

A thirty-year-old man, previously married but disinterested in women, made Gu Zi doubt his capabilities.

However, this matter couldn’t be rushed. Men had strong pride in this regard, something she understood.

She said, “Give your portion to the kids. Eating too much in a day isn’t good. Su

Bing, Su Li, your bodies need the nutrition, have some more.”

Su Shen divided his bowl between the two children, feeling a sense of relief. At least he wouldn’t have to take a cold shower that night.

Yet, he wasn’t sure if Gu Zi had taken in his earlier words.

The next day, when they returned for lunch, and she served another bowl of milk stewed with snow clams, Su Shen understood that this woman hadn’t taken his words to heart.

Her bright eyes anticipated him drinking it, and he couldn’t resist her gaze. She came to marry him without any complaints, pure-hearted, kind, and beautiful. So beautiful that he couldn’t bear to let her go. He wanted to devote himself entirely to caring for her.

Resignedly, Su Shen drank another bowl, then looked her straight in the eyes. “Gu Zi, once I’m done with my current commitments, let’s register our marriage. Are you willing?”

He wanted to marry her immediately, but before that, he had to provide an explanation to Gu Zi about Tian Hai’s matter. If mishandled, he wouldn’t be qualified to marry her.

His brows furrowed, exuding a compelling aura with a touch of affection in his eyes, and even his thin lips seemed softer.

The moment Gu Zi heard this, her mind went blank, leaving only her heart pounding in her chest.

She thought their relationship only needed formalization when the time was right for a certificate. She never expected him to specifically ask.

Su Shen’s approach was spot on, leaving her with no room for hesitation.

“Okay.”

Seeing her immediate acceptance, Su Shen couldn’t suppress a gentle smile. He walked up to Gu Zi, the coldness in his eyes melting into tenderness, and opened his arms. “May I have a hug?”

Ever since that stormy night’s embrace, he had fallen in love with this feeling. He yearned to hold her frequently..
