Chapter 394: Cherished
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Upon finalizing her thoughts, Gu Zi immediately sprang into action. She grabbed a few snacks, took Lele with her, and headed out to visit their next-door neighbor.
When she left, she merely latched the gate of the courtyard without locking it, as she intended to return shortly. She also unleashed Da Huang, their dog, allowing it to roam freely within the yard. This, she believed, would deter any thieves from targeting the Su household.
Just as Gu Zi stepped out, Su Shen’s car pulled up at the entrance. Upon returning home and finding both Gu Zi and the child absent, he assumed they had gone out for a walk. Carrying a bag, Su Shen ascended the stairs and began washing the newly purchased underwear.
This time, Su Shen washed with exceptional care, fearing that his strength might tear the delicate fabric. By the time he finished the final rinse, beads of sweat had formed on his forehead.
Such meticulous tasks were indeed more exhausting than slaughtering a pig.
Finally, Su Shen stretched the small underwear on a hanger and took it to the balcony to dry before descending the stairs.
When Gu Zi returned from Aunt Zhang’s house, Su Shen was already bustling about in the kitchen preparing lunch. For a moment, she was lost in admiration of the tall figure. What kind of celestial man had she found? He was never idle, working outside and still helping her with household chores upon returning home!
“Let me do it. You should rest a bit,” Gu Zi said, her voice filled with concern. She knew that Su Shen had to entertain guests in the city that morning and hadn’t expected him to return for lunch. Yet, not only had he returned early, but he was also doing housework.
Su Shen, still holding the spatula, didn’t let go. He simply turned to look at Gu Zi and said, “I’ll do it. I haven’t done much today. There’s no need for rest.” For Su Shen, doing housework was restful, hardly a strenuous task.
Unable to persuade him otherwise, Gu Zi, seeing his high spirits, wasn’t as worried about him being tired. She took Lele out of the kitchen.
At that moment, a sound came from outside the courtyard. Su Li’s joyful voice clearly rang out, “Mom, Lele, come and see! Brother and I caught some fish today, and two crabs too!”
