Chapter 646: Prove Something
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Zi felt that she should reward the hardworking and considerate older man in her life. Although she had prepared a grand meal for him in the evening, it still didn’t seem enough. She decided to serve him a bowl of warm, sweet soup, a gesture that would surely warm his heart.
A gentle smile played at the corners of Gu Zi’s mouth as the sweet soup was ready. She ladled out five bowls, just enough to empty the pot. The sweet aroma of the soup wafted through the air, catching the attention of her three siblings who were engrossed in watching television. The food-loving second child was the first to abandon the TV program and rush to the kitchen.
His eyes sparkled as he looked at the freshly made bowls of sweet soup. “Mom, it’s hard to describe the aroma today, but it smells so good!” he exclaimed.
Gu Zi, who had been enjoying some perfect alone time, looked at her second child with an even softer smile. “You must be referring to the scent of dried longan that has been boiled, along with the mixed aroma of various nuts. We have a bowl for each of us. Since you’re here, why don’t you serve yourself?”
The second child nodded and seeing his elder brother entering the kitchen, he only took his own portion. It wasn’t that he was trying to be clever, but he was more stable carrying just one bowl. The eldest didn’t say much and carefully carried his and his younger sister’s bowls of sweet soup out of the kitchen. Gu Zi planned to carry two bowls at once, but Su Shen walked in and took the last two bowls.
Gu Zi followed him out of the kitchen, her heart fluttering. The family gathered in the living room, sipping the warm sweet soup. The second child was so engrossed in his drink that he sat directly on the carpet. Su Shen was the first to finish, which was expected as he was a grown man. Even with his elegant eating manners, his speed and appetite were unmatched.
He put down his bowl, his gaze fixed intently on the woman beside him. She was sipping her soup delicately, her beautiful petal-like lips slightly wet, making her even more attractive. Gu Zi noticed his gaze and felt her cheeks heat up. She put down her bowl and softly reminded him, “There are children present, behave yourself.”
Su Shen knew she was shy. To make her more comfortable, he got up and picked up Su Le. The little girl had the least amount of soup, and everyone had been feeding her throughout the meal. So, by the time Su Shen finished, she was almost done too. “I’ll take Su Le upstairs,” he said.
Gu Zi nodded. Su Shen had become quite adept at putting their daughter to sleep. She had been so excited about making dessert that she hadn’t noticed how tired she was. She decided to let him put their daughter to bed first. After she finished her own cleaning up, she could go straight to bed. In the coming days, she would be busy decorating the rooms in their house. She couldn’t afford to not rest well.
However, Gu Zi overlooked one thing. Judging by the way Su Shen had been looking at her, he certainly had more than just sleeping in mind.
When she had finished her cleaning up and lay in bed, a tingling sensation spread across her chest. She immediately realized what was happening. As their breaths intertwined and they shared a kiss, she slowly opened her eyes to meet his, filled with desire.
At this moment, he had her pinned beneath him, his growing desire rubbing against her body. “What were you thinking about in the car that made you so happy? Can you tell me now?” he asked, his voice husky.
Gu Zi hadn’t expected him to have noticed her giggling in the car. But now that he was asking her about it, she realized that he was indeed capable of keeping secrets.
However, she remembered something Aunt Zhang had said and felt she should ask Su Shen about it. “Are you sure you don’t want children?
“I mean, we won’t be young forever, especially since you’re much older than me. What if one day, you want to have a child…”
At this moment, her face turned beet red. Even the thought of them making love didn’t make her this shy. ‘Gu Zi, what’s wrong with you? Why are you acting so foolish? There’s nothing wrong with asking this!’
Su Shen watched her, his Adam’s apple bobbing. In a low, sexy voice, he asked, “Hmm, so you’re worried that I… might not be up to it?”
In such an atmosphere, Gu Zi didn’t dare to tell the truth. She instinctively bit her lip and shook her head, like a bobblehead. “No, it’s not that. I just think…”
Gu Zi tried to make an excuse, but was suddenly silenced by Su Shen’s hand on her chin. He leaned in and kissed her lips, then whispered in her ear, “Gu Zi, I forgot to tell you, I’ve soundproofed the room. With your permission, maybe I can prove something to you.”
