Back to the Past: The Rise of the False Heiress Marrying the True Tycoon Chapter 35: Smiling

Gu Zi thought about all of this and looked at Su Shen gently. She said, "Mr. Su, I have sothing to do in the city tomorrow."

When Su Shen heard that Gu Zi wanted to go to the city, his first reaction was that Gu Zi wanted to leave. He felt a little uncomfortable, but he still nodded and agreed. "Sure."

"Then I'll get Aunt Chu to take care of Lele." Su Shen's gaze fell on Lele, who was in Gu Zi's arms. He still rembered that when he went ho in the past, Lele would always hide in a dirty place and refuse to let Aunt Chu carry her.

It was a stark contrast to her behavior now. Lele seed to be unable to leave Gu Zi at all tis.

When Gu Zi heard the words "Aunt Chu", her brows furrowed slightly. She shook her head and said, "That's not necessary. I can take Lele to the city with ."

Gu Zi did not want Aunt Chu to take care of Lele anymore. Given Aunt Chu's behavior, she feared she might mistreat Lele.

If it weren't for the fact that she wasn't familiar with Su Shen, she would have simply asked Aunt Chu to leave.

Besides, Aunt Chu was more reliable in Su Shen's eyes compared to her. If she badmouthed Aunt Chu, Su Shen might not be pleased and might even suspect her of having ulterior motives.

It was better to avoid unnecessary complications.

Su Shen's deep black eyes briefly glead as he considered that she might be hosick. Bringing a child to town might lead to people gossiping about her. "Is it convenient for you?"

Actually, he could understand Gu Zi's situation. She was a young lady from a wealthy family, but in the end, she married a man who was more than ten years older and had three children.

If this beca public knowledge, there would surely be gossip and criticism.

Gu Zi smiled and said, "It's alright, I just need to run so errands."

Su Shen, however, observed her with a gaze that held a hint of sothing more.

..

Gu Zi woke up naturally the next morning.

In an era without smartphones or computers, she no longer had a reason to stay up late, and had gone to bed early the night before.

As she got up, she walked to the window, pulled back the curtains, and opened it wide.

Fresh air rushed in, and she gazed at the distant green hills and clear waters. She felt rejuvenated.

Heading downstairs, she heard so activity coming from the kitchen. She figured it might be the two children preparing breakfast.

Although she was responsible for taking care of the three children, she wasn't a nanny and couldn't handle every detail.

Besides, boys learning to cook was a plus, and they would figure it out as they grew up.

She believed that if she could help Su Bing overco his aversion to won, that would already be a significant accomplishnt.

When she reached the dining room, she saw Su Li, who had been half-leaning on the table, imdiately stand up straight and lower his head, pretending not to notice her.

Without saying anything, she walked towards the kitchen and found Su Bing standing at the stove, stirring sothing in a pot.

She opened the kitchen door and noticed Su Bing becoming instantly alert.

Without comnting, she approached the pot, looked at what was inside, and furrowed her eyebrows. In a soft voice, she asked, "Is this little amount enough for a al?"

The children here didn't co ho during lunchti, and the school didn't have a cafeteria. It seed like the students had to bring their own lunch.

Gu Zi looked at the two pitiful sweet potatoes in the pot. These two children only ate two sweet potatoes during the day.

She then rembered the dinner Aunt Chu had made for them and instantly understood why these two children had beco so thin. They hardly ate anything during the day.

No wonder these two children, who were clearly around ten years old, were not as robust as seven or eight-year-olds from other families.

She rembered it clearly from the book she had read.

"Su Bing admired his father, Su Shen, the most, especially his father's tall and strong physique, which gave him a sense of security. However, his own body was too frail, as if a gust of wind could blow him away. He had to give up his dream of joining the military and chose the path of scientific research..."

Knowing this, she realized that the larger sweet potato was probably ant for Su Li, while Su Bing would be left with the smaller one.

She looked at Su Bing beside her, initially intending to say sothing but ultimately remaining silent, just pursing her lips.

Su Bing noticed her subtle movent and couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat. He maintained a calm deanor and said, "Do you want to eat sweet potatoes too? I can... I can wash a few more sweet potatoes."

Gu Zi looked into Su Bing's eyes. He had disguised his emotions very well, but she could still see the fear and horror in his eyes.

Perhaps Su Shen's previous wife left a dreadful impact on Su Bing. He seed to be afraid of her too.

However, Su Bing had a refined appearance, especially his eyes, which resembled Lele's.

Imagining him as Lele, she couldn't help but laugh.

This made Su Bing even more nervous.
