Gu Zi turned to Su Shen and asked, "Did you notice anything strange about Lin Miao's gaze just now?"
Su Shen responded, "I'm not sure." He hadn't paid any attention to Lin Miao, nor did he have any interest in her. His focus was solely on Gu Zi. Had he not heard Gong Zhan slandering Gu Zi, he wouldn't have even bothered to interact with them.
Gu Zi pondered for a moment, indeed finding Lin Miao's gaze peculiar, as if she was trying to capture Su Shen's attention.
As the female lead in the original story, shouldn't Lin Miao's attention be focused on the male lead, Gong Zhan? Gu Zi decided to set this question aside for the moment.
She wrapped her arm around Su Shen's and suggested, "Let's go pick up Lele and the others. I promised to buy them piggy banks earlier, but I was caught up with this. Now that you're here, you can pay for them."
Gu Zi didn't bother to ask Su Shen why he hadn't informed her about his plans to attend the town's event. As a businessman, he was always busy. As his wife, she understood that she didn't need to question every little detail.
However, Su Shen took the initiative to explain, "Alright, let's go buy them. I didn't plan on attending the tea party today, but I thought if I did, I could come home early for lunch."
Gu Zi raised an eyebrow and teased, "Don't worry, I never suspected that you came to watch the beautiful women sing."
Su Shen stopped in his tracks, pulled Gu Zi close, and pressed her against the corridor wall. He kissed her lips and, with his finger under her chin, said, "Isn't the most beautiful woman right here in my arms?"
Flustered by his flirtation, Gu Zi pushed him away and quickly walked ahead.
Su Shen leaned against the wall, watching her briskly walk away. Her skirt swayed, revealing a glimpse of her beautiful legs. Her skin was so white it seemed to glow. Her round buttocks were hidden beneath her skirt, swaying rhythmically with each step. Her slender waist looked as if it could be snapped with just one hand.
His eyes darkened as he imagined himself holding her slender waist and making her arch her back...
After taking a few steps, Gu Zi felt a burning gaze on her back. She didn't turn around, waiting for Su Shen to catch up.
Being taller, Su Shen had a longer stride and quickly caught up with her. They picked up the children and selected three piggy banks before heading home.
In the car, Su Bing and Su Li each held their piggy banks, examining them with interest. Su Le was asleep, so her piggy bank was in Su Li's hands.
Holding two piggy banks, Su Li suddenly felt a great sense of responsibility. He was not only managing his own finances but also helping little Lele!
Su Shen noticed a patch of foxtail grass by the roadside. He stopped the car and told Gu Zi, "Wait for me." He returned ten minutes later with five little foxes woven from the foxtail grass. Gu Zi found the green foxes adorable.
"Thank you, Mr. Su, I love them!" Gu Zi was both delighted and surprised. She remembered that when Su Bing had given her a cage woven from foxtail grass, Su Shen had specifically asked if she liked such trinkets.
Now she understood why he had asked if she liked them. If she did, he would make them for her.
Su Bing, sitting in the back seat, observed all this and suddenly felt that his father was quite cunning. Was he also competing for her affection?
He wondered whom Su Li had inherited his competitive nature from. It turned out to be their father!
At this moment, Su Li was also staring at his father, secretly deciding to learn handicrafts so he could make beautiful trinkets for his mother. If his father gave her five little foxes, he would give her ten!
He knew he couldn't compete with his father financially, but he was determined not to lose when it came to handicrafts..
