Chapter 556: She Needed Him

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Hu Bing was a bachelor, spending most of his time in the military district, dealing with a bunch of men every day. How could he possibly know how to interact with children?

Hu Bing pursed his lips, attempting to break the awkward silence, but he was at a loss for words. The situation only grew more uncomfortable, causing the grown man’s face to flush with embarrassment. This visit to see the child was proving to be more than he had bargained for.

In the kitchen, Gu Zi had prepared a few small dishes from the same region as the Volcano Ribs, setting them aside for the moment. They would be served to the guest later, as a single dish of Volcano Ribs would not suffice.

She was now officially starting on the main dish, the Volcano Ribs. Having processed the southern ginger, lemongrass, and lemon leaves, she set them aside for later use. As she prepared to cut the whole rack of pork ribs she had just brought back, she was worried about how to cut them. Just then, Su Shen entered the kitchen. Gu Zi’s eyes lit up with joy, and she naturally reached out to hold his arm, “Can you help me?”

The man’s arm was muscular and gave her a sense of security. She didn’t let go after speaking. After all, he was her husband, and there was no problem with her holding onto him. His tall stature made Gu Zi look petite in comparison. The two of them standing together gave off an inexplicable sense of compatibility.

Su Shen, taking in the fragrance emanating from her, felt an indescribable pleasure. He naturally responded, “I’ll do it. What do you need me to do?”

Gu Zi, still holding onto him, looked at the pork bone on the countertop and softly said, “The pork spine in the fridge isn’t suitable for this dish. That’s why I asked you to bring back the ribs. We need to cut them differently.”

On ordinary days, Su Shen would cut the pork bones and store them in the fridge for Gu Zi to use. However, the Volcano Ribs required a different length, longer than usual, to create the volcano shape. Therefore, the pre-cut ribs in the fridge wouldn’t work. They needed to be cut fresh. Just as she was worrying about this, her husband walked in. Perfect timing!

Seeing her like this, Su Shen felt a wave of satisfaction that he couldn’t put into words. He loved the feeling of being needed by her.

He stood straight beside Gu Zi, allowing her to lean on him. He felt like a warrior, capable of protecting Gu Zi during peaceful times. He said, “I’ll do it. Just tell me how to cut it.”

Gu Zi let go of his hand and gestured, “Cut it like this, one by one. The length should be about the same as my palm.”
