“I understand now. Gu Zi. Let me hold you for a while,” Su Shen murmured, his forehead resting against hers as his palm gently caressed the small of her back.
Feeling her body tense in response, he abruptly pulled her hips towards his, pressing his hardness against her lower abdomen, teasing her with shallow and deep thrusts.
At this moment, the man’s heart was filled with an indescribable sense of satisfaction. Gu Zi had bought rosemary for cooking, not for commemorating some damn past. How wonderful!
He kissed her again, this time with a more intense desire. After more than ten minutes, they finally composed themselves and left the room.
Instead of going downstairs, Su Shen held her and headed toward the guest room. Gu Zi was a bit puzzled. “Aren’t we going to eat? Why are we here?”
Su Shen’s hand gently pushed open the door, his voice low and husky, “1 had Jin Long arrange this at home this afternoon. From now on, it will stay like this.
Do you like it? I think it’s worth commemorating.”
As the door opened, the room’s interior was revealed to Gu Zi. It was filled with items from her wedding, her wedding dress, and the dowry from the Lin family. All were displayed in this room. Gu Zi looked around and smiled sweetly.
She had not expected that besides taking her to the movies, the man had also prepared such a surprise for her. Moreover, it perfectly fulfilled a dream she had in her previous life.
In her past life, Gu Zi was very busy, so busy that she was like a machine, even losing interest in love towards the end.
However, she had many fantasies about dating and marriage. For example, she wanted to have a special display room after marriage to showcase her wedding dress. She wanted to keep her wedding dress, and now that Su Shen had made it a reality, how could she not be moved?
She stood on her tiptoes and gave Su Shen a kiss, sincerely saying, “Thank you,
I really like it.”
Su Shen lowered his head and kissed her forehead, “As long as you like it.”
When they went downstairs, Su Bing was helping Su Le eat candied hawthorns. Su Le had woken up earlier than Gu Zi, and Su Shen had already carried her downstairs to avoid waking his wife.
Su Bing held his own skewer of candied hawthorns in one hand and Su Le’s in the other, feeding his little sister without delay. He didn’t like such sweet stuff, but since his mother had bought it, he had to eat it.
Su Li sat across from his brother and sister, holding the last piece of his candied hawthorn that he couldn’t bear to eat. He decided to wait until his siblings were also down to their last piece before he would take a bite.
However, their parents came down and announced it was time for dinner. Su Bing, carefully set aside their skewers of candied hawthorn, planning to enjoy them after the meal.
Su Li looked at the candied hawthorn in his hand, finally feeling a sense of relief. He too, set down his treat and slowly made his way to the dining room.
Meanwhile, in the city, the Gu family home was shrouded in a cloud of gloom. During dinner, Gu Shan and Zhang Mei could barely eat, their brows furrowed so tightly they could have caught flies with them.
Zhang Mei recalled the sight of her daughter, Lin Miao, at the police station earlier that day and couldn’t help but shed tears. She put down her bowl and said, “She’s lost so much weight. Husband, how can we save her? Should we really go? Will it be of any use?”
Their daughter, Lin Miao, stubbornly refused to confess, and the evidence against her was irrefutable. She could not escape her guilt.
The Gong family, on the other hand, was unreliable. Gu Shan had made another trip to their home, but they were unwilling to use their connections to help Lin Miao, seemingly indifferent to her fate.
They were at a loss. They had visited Lin Miao today, and she had suggested they seek help from her adoptive parents.
Gu Shan sighed, put down his chopsticks and said, “We can only try again. The Lin family seems reasonable. They raised Miao, they must have some affection for her. We’ll go tomorrow, I heard they’re still in the hospital.”
If Lin Miao could avoid prison, he would do whatever it took. Her imprisonment would have a significant impact, not only on their reputation but also on Gu Shan’s chance at a promotion.
Lately, Gu Shan had been so worried that his hair was turning white. He had been on the verge of a promotion, and the government had planned to provide him with a car. But due to this incident, he could forget about the car, and even his promotion was in jeopardy.
Zhang Mei nodded after hearing this, got up, and went to the room to gather a few gifts. She planned to present them to Lin Miao’s parents the next day.
The Gu family was now in dire straits, with no money and a pile of debts. They couldn’t afford to buy gifts for the hospital visit, but the gifts they had were not bad. They were presents given by others in an attempt to curry favor when Lin Miao was about to marry Gong Zhan..
