Chapter 425: Teach Me More
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Zi lifted the lid of the pot, revealing the water that had been boiling in preparation. She was about to add the dumplings when she became aware of the man’s presence behind her. Perhaps it was due to his towering height, but his presence in the same space was undeniably strong, impossible to ignore.
Gu Zi’s heart quickened for a moment. Before she could utter a word, his hand naturally found its way to her waist, guiding her gently to stand beside him. As Gu Zi glanced sideways at him, he took the plate from her hands and began to add the dumplings to the boiling water.
Even though he didn’t utter words like “With me here, there’s no need for you
to lift a finger,” Gu Zi instantly understood his affection for her. She watched his handsome, impeccable profile, her heart filled with warmth and trembling. The atmosphere between them was decidedly intimate, enough to make any onlooker blush and their heart race.
Su Shen added the dumplings to the pot. In the interval when Gu Zi was tidying up the table with a cloth, he took another pan, heated some oil, and started frying eggs. Soon, five exquisite heart-shaped fried eggs were served in five bowls, each egg accompanied by a ham sausage fixed into a heart shape with a toothpick. It was a sight to behold.
When Gu Zi returned and saw the eggs, she was somewhat surprised. “How did you know how to make heart-shaped fried eggs?” freewebnoveℓ.com
In the absence of a heart-shaped mold at home, Gu Zi would use the ham sausage as a makeshift mold to fry the eggs into a heart shape. However, she didn’t expect Su Shen to know this method, especially since she didn’t recall teaching him.
Su Shen’s eyes were dark as he looked at her, as if he could draw her in with his gaze. “I saw you do it once and remembered. This is my first attempt, was it successful?” His usually deep voice held a hint of pride, causing Gu Zi’s heart to flutter.
Gu Zi’s eyelashes fluttered, and she readily praised him as he wished, “You did great, it’s a success!”
Su Shen, wrapping his arm around her waist, bent down to plant a kiss on her forehead, responding sweetly, “That’s because you taught me well, my wife. Will you continue to teach me in the future?”
Despite usually being a cold and aloof man, his flirting was undeniably irresistible. Gu Zi lowered her gaze, too shy to look at him, and responded softly, “As long as you’re willing to learn.”
