Back to the Past: The Rise of the False Heiress Marrying the True Tycoon

When Gu Zits hand touched Su Shen’s, her heart skipped a beat.

Su Bing and Su Li were engrossed in eating the generous portions of meat and didn’t notice.

Only Su Le, the little one, cheered with joyful “babbling.”

Gu Zi’s face turned crimson, momentarily forgetting to retract her hand.

Observing her reaction, Su Shen’s eyes twinkled with a faint smile. He actually enjoyed her touch—her hands were petite and soft, quite comforting.

However, he realized it made her shy. So, he served her a piece of bacon and said, “Quick, eat it while it’s hot.”

Only then did Gu Zi realize and then withdrew her hand to fetch chopsticks, thanking him, “Thank you! It smells delicious.”

Where did it come from?

Su Shen seemed to perceive her confusion and explained, “The bacon was bought from Li Zhu’s home. His mother’s homemade bacon is quite distinctive. If you want more, just ask him to deliver it.”

Gu Zi nodded, finding the bacon indeed delicious, and indulged in several more pieces.

In her previous life, Gu Zi had a close female friend who taught her how to pickle vegetables. Using her method, the pickled vegetables had a golden color and a tangy fragrance, perfect for making fried rice or noodles.

Thinking about this, Gu Zi was almost drooling. She remembered tomorrow was market day and thought of visiting to see if they had those kinds of pickled vegetables.

After dinner, Su Shen went into the kitchen to wash the dishes. Gu Zi couldn’t beat him to it.

She noticed a stack of files on the living room table and guessed that they were for his upcoming trip.

Her eyes lit up, asking, “What do you need for your trip? Let me pack it for you.”

Seeing her straightforwardness, Su Shen told Gu Zi that he needed toiletries, two sets of clothes, and the documents from the file pile.

Gu Zi found it simple enough and nodded, turning to take the file stack upstairs.

She opened it and took a look. The documents were organized quite well, but the order was a little messy.

But she didn’t dare to touch these documents casually. After all, she didn’t know if Su Shen had specially placed them like this. It was better to ask later.

She went to Su Shen’s room. There was a blue cloth bag in the man’s room.

Gu Zi opened it and then neatly folded and arranged his clothes and pants from the wardrobe inside.

The travel toiletries were placed next to his clothes, and the files were neatly put on top.

Just then, Su Shen pushed the door open and came in. He saw that she had almost finished packing.

“Thank you,” Su Shen said.

Gu Zi smiled and suggested rearranging the files to make them more convenient to read.

Su Shen allowed her to try, and once she reorganized them, it indeed made for easier reading.

He asked Gu Zi, “I’ve never asked you this, but do you regret staying home to take care of the children?”

Su Shen had thought for a long time; he didn’t want to let go of Gu Zi, but he also didn’t want to hold her back.

He understood her capabilities. If she had the time to pursue her own career, she’d also be very successful.

Upon hearing this, Gu Zi smiled and replied, “I’m not in a hurry, Su Shen. I can wait until Le Le is a bit older before doing something else.”

She was quite satisfied with her current life, spending time at home experimenting with recipes, taking care of Le Le, and feeding Big Yellow.

She still had plenty of time to study and prepare for further education. She felt content.

However, when Su Shen asked her like that, she could feel that this man cared about her.

Su Shen, upon hearing her response, relaxed his previously tense expression. His stern face softened slightly.

“That’s good, Gu Zi. If there’s anything you need, just tell me, and I’ll fulfill your wishes,” because he wanted to treat her well.

Gu Zi looked up at him. Her eyes were bright and there was a hint of charm in them.

“Anything?” she asked. If she outright asked for his kiss, would he consider her too forward?

The intensity of her gaze made Su Shen’s body stiffen, hormones racing through him.

He replied, “Anything.”

As soon as the words left his mouth, Gu Zi tiptoed and placed a light kiss on his chin before turning around and escaping..
