When Su Li heard Gu Zi’s response, he couldn’t believe it.

‘ Mom, Brother and I always thought that you would be angry if we called you mom, just like how Sister calls you.”

They had long wanted to call her “Mom”. They also wanted a mother.

Gu Zi patted his back soothingly, feeling secretly moved herself.

Originally, she just wanted to be a little nicer to the kids because they had indeed suffered too much in the past.

Moreover, they were a family now, and she didn’t want these two children to live in darkness their whole lives.

She had never expected the children to want to call her “Mom.”

She said, “I won’t be angry. Mommy is also very happy to get your approval. Now, be good, take the medicine first.”

Gu Zi touched his forehead; the temperature was still very high. Although it wasn’t as hot as initially, it still needed attention.

Tears shimmered in Su Li’s eyes, a smile playing on his lips. He obediently took the fever medicine, holding his mom’s hand, and drifted into a deep sleep.

Seeing him asleep, Gu Zi got up and went back to her room to check on Lele. Then she grabbed a book and stayed by Su Li’s bedside.

Outside the room, Su Shen was still awake. When he heard movement outside, he woke up and witnessed Gu Zi taking care of the children through the whole process.

He really wanted to go in and take care of the children together, but he didn’t dare to enter.

He felt like no matter how much he did to help out, it seemed like he couldn’t make up for her losses.

As Uncle Li had said, time had no price. He could buy back the flower girl dress from her childhood, but he couldn’t buy back her lost youth.

At this moment, she was inside reading. Su Shen knew from the foreign language content that it was probably related to overseas studies content.

Even though she said she was willing to marry him, the fact remained that she had sacrificed a lot by staying here.

In recent years, the country needed various highly skilled talents for social development, and the government highly encouraged young people with talent and knowledge to study Western science and culture abroad.

A smart and knowledgeable woman like Gu Zi was exactly the high-end talent suitable for studying abroad.

If she hadn’t come to the countryside to marry him, if she hadn’t had to take care of Lele, she would probably be fighting for her study abroad dreams in a bright and hopeful classroom, enjoying her own youth.

It was not the first time Su Shen had noticed her reading foreign language books; he just always listened and watched secretly.

He used to think about letting her go, but now he didn’t want to let go because he knew that by losing Gu Zi, he would miss out on the most beautiful thing in this world.

Ultimately, the man still didn’t push open the partially open door. He walked to the balcony, lit a cigarette.

Outside, it was pitch black, and the drizzle that had started turned into a heavy rain.

By now, the sky was beginning to lighten. Gu Zi suddenly woke up as she heard the rain.

She remembered there were clothes still hanging on the balcony, and with such heavy rain, they would surely get wet.

She tucked Su Li in and headed out to the large balcony on the second floor, where she saw a tall figure.

The man leaned against the edge of the balcony, letting the cool breeze move his clothes. He held a cigarette in one hand, the faint blue smoke swirling around him, appearing cold, noble, and a bit melancholic.

Behind him, the rain formed a curtain, adding a touch of melancholy to his handsome features.

Gu Zi continued to approach, and the man noticed her. He extinguished the faintly lit cigarette with his fingers.

“Why are you out here? It’s chilly; go inside quickly.”

The man’s voice was husky, full of male charm, and his deep eyes stared at her. Gu Zi’s heart couldn’t help but beat faster. She scanned the balcony, finding it empty.

She asked him, “Did you take in the clothes? Why are you still not asleep? Do you have a habit of smoking in the early morning?

She didn’t immediately go inside; this man seemed off today.

Su Shen was afraid that she hated the smell of cigarettes, so he explained, “Actually, I don’t smoke often. Only when I’m in a particularly bad mood or need to vent excitement. If you don’t like it, I won’t smoke again.”

Gu Zi felt that he probably wasn’t in an excited state now; perhaps, his mood wasn’t great.

She didn’t mind a man occasionally smoking; she just didn’t like men who smoked a lot and ended up with yellow teeth.

It she minded even this, it would be too unreasonable..
