Chapter 869: A Scheming Older Man
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gong Zhan felt a stirring in his heart, a touch of emotion that surprised him. Was this the same sister who was always causing a ruckus? He had never known her to have such tender moments. A hint of joy finally surfaced on Gong Zhan’s face as he nodded, “Go get the food, sis. Mom, you should rest.”
Gong Xin left the room, and Mrs. Chen watched her son’s transformation with a sense of relief. In the past, her son had always been annoyed by her nagging and rarely showed any affection towards his younger sister. But today, he seemed like a different person, reciprocating the care and love shown to him by his mother and sister. At this moment, Mrs. Chen felt a warmth in her heart, her son had finally grown up!
In the neighboring hospital room, Gu Zi had just brought over a meal of rib soup and rice from the family guesthouse. The hospital food was mediocre, and Gu Zi refused to compromise on her meals. She also wanted to take better care of Su Shen and their children, so she had started cooking in the guesthouse from her second day there.
She didn’t even have to buy the meat and vegetables herself, she could just take them from the guesthouse kitchen. They were all provided for free. Gu Zi naturally enjoyed the special benefits of being a military spouse. These were benefits her husband had earned with his life, and it would be disrespectful not to use them.
She brought in the insulated boxes, two in total. One contained the rib soup and rice, and the other held two stir-fried dishes. As she opened the boxes, the delicious aroma filled the room. Just then, a nurse came in for a routine check and couldn’t help but express her envy, “Commander Su is so lucky. His wife is not only young and beautiful, but she’s also a great cook!”
Su Shen was not one to engage in idle chatter. Even if it led to awkward silences, he rarely played along. But when it came to Gu Zi, his demeanor changed. His usually cold and handsome face softened considerably as he said, “All the good fortune I’ve accumulated in my life has been spent on marrying my wife.”
Gu Zi thought he was exaggerating. She handed him his bowl of food and gave him a stern look, “Eat your food, Commander Su. Can’t even keep your mouth shut while eating?”
Su Shen immediately complied, picking up his bowl and starting to eat. The nurse watched with a grin that reached her ears. After finishing her rounds, she left cheerfully to get her own meal, sharing this sweet story with anyone she met.
