Chapter 288: A Hint of Jealousy

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

A flicker of concern flashed in Su Shen’s sharp black eyes. He wrapped his arms around his wife, telling her, “You’re not foolish. Your innocence and kindness are what makes you capable of love.”

Gong Zhan was her first love. A girl’s love at her most innocent age must be genuine. Those who lack kindness can’t experience true love. Even though Su Shen was somewhat jealous of Gong Zhan’s place in his wife’s heart, he didn’t blame her. On the contrary, it made him cherish and love her more.

He couldn’t imagine the pain and despair this girl must have felt when she had to leave the one she loved to marry him. Moreover, he was sure that Gu Zi was not the kind of woman who would linger over an ex-lover. At least, once she had decided to marry him, Gu Zi had stopped entangling herself with Gong Zhan. She had cleanly cut off all ties. Knowing she could do this, Su Shen deeply appreciated this girl’s worth.

Gu Zi was worth his lifelong devotion, worth his efforts to become the only one in her heart. He believed that day would come.

When Gu Zi heard him say this, she felt warmed, but also a twinge of guilt. She was innocent and kind, but she wouldn’t love others as recklessly as the original owner of her body. Her love was based on living well for herself.

At night, as they lay in bed, Su Shen kissed her for a long time. His lips enveloped hers, his tongue probing and teasing, but he made no other moves. He just held her down and kissed her wildly, as if he wanted to devour her. His final kiss was a gentle one, landing lightly on her eyelashes, a stark contrast to the passionate ones before.

Then he rolled over to lie beside her. Moonlight seeped through the heavy curtains, casting a thin shadow over the room. When Gu Zi looked over, the man’s distinct features were slightly blurred in the shadow, but his thin lips were tightly pressed together, making his masculine aura even more intense. For some reason, Gu Zi detected a faint hint of jealousy…

The next day, Gu Zi woke up naturally. It was almost seven o’clock, and both Su Shen and Su Le were still asleep. She got up, covered her husband and daughter with blankets, then went downstairs to prepare breakfast.

For breakfast, she planned to make hand-grabbed pancakes with milk. She had prepared the dough for the pancakes the night before, so she just needed to take it out of the refrigerator and fry it in a pan with a little oil.

After frying for a while, she cracked an egg into the pan, spreading the egg evenly over the pancake. Then she flipped it over and placed a homemade sausage on the side to fry for a while.

Gu Zi remembered that the commercial sausages in supermarkets back home were imported from abroad. The first domestic sausage wouldn’t be born for a few more years, and mass production and sales wouldn’t start until the late 1980s. So there should be no sausages like that available now.

She thought that after teaching her sister-in-law how to make spicy soup, she could also teach her how to make these sausages. If she set up a sausage stand next to her soup stall, business would surely boom!

As she was thinking this, the hand-grabbed pancake had already been fried to a golden brown on both sides. She placed a sausage in the center of the pancake, then laid a lettuce leaf on top of the sausage.

She then squeezed homemade ketchup and sweet chili sauce on top of the sausage and lettuce in a “Z” pattern. With practiced skill, she wrapped up the pancake and placed it on a plate. One hand-grabbed pancake was ready.

During breakfast, each family member had a hand-grabbed pancake and a cup of milk, eating with great satisfaction. Of course, Su Shen, being a grown man, had a larger appetite. Gu Zi made him two and a half pancakes, with the half one cut into small pieces for Lele.

When Su Shen left for work, Gu Zi handed him two lunch boxes, “There are two pancakes in each box. Please give them to my brother and Jin Long.”

Su Shen wasnt planning on going to the pig farm today. He was going to drive straight to the city for work. However, he didn’t want to waste Gu Zi’s efforts, so he accepted the lunch boxes without a word, kissed her forehead, and left.

When Su Shen arrived at the pig farm, he saw Jin Long and Lin Cheng just finishing washing the truck. Washing the truck wasn’t really Lin Cheng’s job. As Gu Zi’s brother, the farm workers knew to give him lighter tasks.

But Lin Cheng was diligent and didn’t like to use his privileges. Since he started working here, he had been eager to do all the dirty and tiring tasks. He also did his job at banquets diligently.

Su Shen thought that having a brother like Lin Cheng was a blessing for Gu Zi. He would guide Lin Cheng well and help him become stronger, because Lin Cheng was Gu Zit s biggest support in her maternal family..
