In haste, Gu Zi fetched a fresh set of clothes to change into: a white base shirt and black casual pants, topped with a light green knitted coat. She then styled her hair into a side parting, donned a thick beret, and admired her radiant and dignified reflection in the mirror. Satisfied, she turned and exited her room, descending the stairs.

As she approached the staircase, the tantalizing aroma of breakfast wafted towards her, quickening her pace involuntarily.

Upon reaching the dining room, she found the table laden with steaming buns and a bowl of vegetable and lean meat porridge. Two large cups filled with washed fruits sat next to a plate of peanuts, cashews, and other nuts. Another plate held a heart-shaped fried egg.

Su Shen was indeed clever. Having once mentioned the principles of nutritional food pairing to him, he had since then always prepared breakfast with a perfect balance of various foods. Each meal was a comforting sight, complete with proteins, carbohydrates, dietary fiber, and quality fats. She took a seat and joined him for the meal.

Su Shen, an early riser, had prepared breakfast but had not eaten with the children. He was waiting for Gu Zi.

After they finished their meal, Su Shen cleared the dishes and said, “You can go about your business. I’ll call you when he arrives. I’ll watch over Su Le.”

In essence, as long as he was home, Gu Zi was free to do as she pleased.

As the New Year approached, the demand for pork in the market surged. The pig farm staff were busier than ever, and Su Shen had to hire additional temporary workers. Despite this, the supply of pork still fell short of demand.

Su Shen often rested in his office, and Gu Zi no longer needed to bring him meals. The pig farm had opened a canteen where meals were prepared daily. However, when Gu Zi cooked something delicious, she still liked to deliver it to him. Of course, if Su Li was home, he would usually do the delivery.

Gu Zi had always admired Su Shen’s boundless energy. No matter how busy he was, he always found time to take care of her. She never hesitated to accept his help.

She knew that he was adept at managing his workload and was not overworking himself. Therefore, she saw no reason to refuse his help, especially during her menstrual period when he did more, which was just right.

Gu Zi walked over and gave him a hug, her tone unconsciously soft and her voice pleasant. “Thank you for your hard work. Remember to prepare Su Le’s milk powder later. I’m going to read for a while.”

As Su Shen washed the dishes, a pair of soft hands suddenly encircled his waist. His heart fluttered, and he nodded, “Alright, go ahead.”

If she didn’t leave now, he would want to hold her and share a long, deep kiss. Fortunately, she obeyed, released him, and left the kitchen to go upstairs.

Around nine in the morning, the sound of a car horn echoed from outside. Gu Zi closed her book, placed it neatly on the table, and walked over to the window to take a look.

A jeep had parked right in front of their house. A tall man in military uniform stepped out. He was about the same height as Su Shen and quite handsome, though not as attractive as Su Shen.

She noticed the medals and rank on his uniform. Impressive, he was a major, just like Gong Zhan, but his rank was not as high as her man, Su Shen. She also noticed that the man was holding a letter in his right hand.

Gu Zi raised an eyebrow. The man was here, so why was he still holding a letter? Clearly, someone must have asked him to deliver it. But who could it be?

With this question in mind, she descended the stairs. Su Shen had already ushered the man into the living room. The man sat across from Su Shen, placing the letter on the table. His gaze swept over Gu Zi as she descended the stairs, a flash of surprise in his eyes, clearly taken aback by her beauty. However, he quickly masked it and adopted a cold expression.

Gu Zi didn’t offer a polite smile. After all, due to his sparring with Su Shen, Su Shen had been injured. Yet, he had the audacity to visit.

She walked over and sat next to Su Shen. Her gaze naturally fell on the letter. She could clearly see the name “Hu Jie” written on the envelope. So, it was her!

Gu Zi didn’t feel like talking. Why was it this name again?

Although Su Shen had explained his relationship with Hu Jie, and she hadn’t made a big deal out of it, she felt there was nothing to fuss about. After all, Su Shen was with her now, had no plans to return to the military, and his relationship with Hu Jie was a thing of the past.
