Chapter 395: A Pleasant Surprise

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Zi and Su Shen exchanged glances, a chuckle escaping from Gu Zi’s lips. Su Shen, in a gesture of masculine consolation, ruffled the hair of their younger son without uttering a word.

Gu Zi didn’t neglect their older son either. She served Su Bing a piece of meat, saying, “Try this, my dear. See if your father’s culinary skills are as impressive as they seem. It’s so delicious it could bring tears to your eyes.”

Upon tasting the meat, Su Bing played along with Gu Zits jest, “Indeed, it tastes like a wave of emotion.”

At Su Bing’s words, both Gu Zi and Su Shen broke into laughter. Even Su Li, who had been wiping away tears, joined in the mirth. Their lunch was filled with warmth and amusement, a stark contrast to the previously somber atmosphere in the Su household.

After lunch, Su Shen left for the pig farm. His kitchen remained spotless even after his cooking, requiring little to no cleaning. Gu Zi, after tidying up the dining room, took their daughter, Lele, upstairs for a nap.

Naptime was a sacred ritual for the mother-daughter duo. It was a time for Gu Zi to rejuvenate and for Lele to replenish her sleep. It was a good habit they had cultivated since Lele was a baby.

Gu Zi’s naptime usually didn’t last long, half an hour was sufficient under normal circumstances. Today was no different. After a half-hour nap, she woke up naturally, drew back the curtains, and let the sunlight flood in.

The weather had been clear these past few days, with the sun shining brightly. The clothes Gu Zi washed in the morning were usually dry by the time she woke up from her nap. As she went to the balcony to collect the laundry, she noticed a pair of black silk underwear, identical to the pair that Su Shen had previously ruined.

Confused, Gu Zi wondered, “Wasn’t it ruined? How is it here in perfect condition?”

Using a laundry pole, she took down the underwear, which was already dry and carried a faint scent of detergent.

Gu Zi preferred using fragrant laundry liquid over detergent, especially for underwear, which she would wash with special care products. This pair, however, was clearly washed by Su Shen. The man had washed her underwear again…

A realization dawned on Gu Zi. The underwear must have been bought by Su Shen that morning and he had even washed it for her.

She had jokingly asked him to compensate for the ruined pair last time, not expecting him to take it to heart. Who knew that he was such a meticulous man?

Despite his busy schedule, he took care of everything at home and even paid attention to such minor details. He even took time out of his official engagements to buy her underwear. Gu Zi found herself deeply moved by his actions.

However, Gu Zi was not one to enjoy the fruits of someone else’s labor without reciprocating. Seeing Su Shen’s dedication, she felt the need to express her gratitude. But how should she do it? Cooking delicious meals for him was a regular affair and didn’t seem special enough.

Gu Zi methodically folded the clothes, placing them in the wardrobes of each room. Upon returning to the master bedroom, she passed by her vanity mirror. A glance caught her own graceful figure reflected in the glass. A playful smile tugged at the corners of her lips as an idea suddenly sparked in her mind.

Su Shen didn’t come home for dinner that night. He sent a message through Li Zhu, saying he wouldn’t be back until the early hours of the morning and told Gu Zi to rest first.

That evening, as promised, Gu Zi prepared a delicious meal for the children. Braised grass carp, fried loach, salt and pepper loach, and spicy crab. She, along with Su Bing and Su Li, indulged in the feast, their satisfaction evident.

Of course, due to Su Let s young age, she could only taste a bit of the stronger-flavored dishes. Gu Zi had specially prepared a small bowl of stewed loach with fish mint for her, which was her main course.

Although it wasn’t healthy to indulge in such rich food often, Gu Zi allowed herself and her two eldest children a little indulgence that day. She also prepared some cooling desserts to balance out the heaty dishes, leaving them feeling utterly content after the meal.

That night, after soaking in the bath, Gu Zi went to bed. But at midnight, she climbed out of bed, ready to prepare a surprise for her husband.

The surprise Gu Zi had in mind was none other than herself. She thought that adding a little spice to their marital life would be a pleasant surprise for her husband.

He had gone to great lengths to buy her underwear as an apology, so she decided to personally pair it with an outfit and show him. Gu Zi had full confidence in her own charm.

She dug out a light blue sailor suit from the bottom of her wardrobe. The pleated mini skirt swayed enticingly, perfect for displaying temptation…

In the early hours of the morning, the sound of a car echoed from downstairs. Gu Zi put on a coat and went down to greet him. As Su Shen got out of the car, he saw his wife, wrapped in a coat in the middle of the night, waiting for him. His brows furrowed slightly, his tone tinged with concern, “Didn’t I tell you not to wait up for me? Let’s go inside..”
