Gu Zi could see that Su Shen was a capable and rational person. He quickly grasped the feasibility of her plan.

She picked up Su Le and said, “Then I’ll leave you to it. I’ll head back first.”

“Alright, be careful on your way back,” Su Shen replied as he took the written instructions and left the office.

In the afternoon, as school was about to end, Gu Zi prepared the fried pork chops from lunch, cut them into small pieces, and sprinkled them with pepper and salt.

When Su Bing and Su Li returned home, they were greeted by the sight and aroma of the golden and fragrant snacks.

Gu Zi handed them a small fork and invited them to try the “Golden Fried Pork

Chop.”

She entrusted them with watching over Su Le while she went to the kitchen to prepare some supplementary food for the baby.

Gu Zi steamed sweet potatoes, turned them into sweet potato paste, added a few spoonfuls of milk powder, and then shaped the mixture into small dumplings.

After steaming them for ten minutes, the room was filled with the sweet fragrance of milk.

Gu Zi placed the sweet potato milk dumplings on a plate and brought them to the living room, where Su Bing and Su Li were enjoying the snacks.

Su Li couldn’t help but comment, “You are like a magician. You can make all sorts of delicious things.”

Gu Zi took out a milk dumpling and handed it to Su Li, saying, “Your sister can’t eat so much. If you want to eat it, help yourself.”

Su Le’s brothers responded in unison, “Got it.”

Gu Zi carried Su Le over and picked up a small milk dumpling to feed her. The baby’s joy was evident as she savored the sweet treat.

Over the past few days, Su Le had obviously gained weight, and she had a rosy and chubby face that made her all the more adorable.

Su Shen returned home earlier than usual that day. As he entered the courtyard, he heard the sound of his daughter’s laughter.

He stood by the window, where his gaze eventually landed on Gu Zi, who was holding Su Le.

Gu Zi wore a white shirt with a lapel and a blue striped linen skirt. The outfit emphasized her slim waist and accentuated her already graceful figure.

Her beautiful hair was tied back with a blue ribbon, lending her an elegant and gentle look.

Her flawless face radiated beauty.

To Su Shen, words couldn’t adequately describe her beauty. He was left in awe of her looks, which seemed beyond comparison.

“You’re back,” Gu Zi greeted him upon noticing his presence.

As Su Shen entered the house, Gu Zi realized he was carrying several things.

“What are these?” she asked.

Su Shen walked over and placed a small box in front of Gu Zi. “Your method was very effective. Today’s issue has been resolved.”

Su Shen’s usually deep eyes now sparkled with joy. “I went to the city in the afternoon and picked up a few things. This is a gift for you.”

Upon opening the small box he presented, Gu Zi discovered a simple gold bracelet inside.

Wow, as expected of a rich person. Her gift was a gold bracelet. She loved shiny gold things the most.

She couldn’t help but smile and said playfully, “Is this a reward for me?”

Su Shen explained, “Yes, and I also got some gifts for you to bring to the Lin family.”

Gu Zi looked over and noticed five large red boxes, all containing popular gifts from the city. She was astounded by his willingness to spend money.

Not aware of the exact circumstances of the Lin family, Gu Zi had initially planned to take some pork to see them and assess their situation.

However, with Su Shen already preparing such grand gifts, Gu Zi could only say, “This is too extravagant.”

Su Shen disagreed, saying, “After all, it’s your first time visiting your biological parents. No matter what, I want you to go back with dignity.”

His words carried a deeper meaning, expressing his heartfelt concern for her.

This warm gesture touched Gu Zi’s heart and strengthened her resolve to meet the Lin family.

Only by going to visit the Lin family would she be able to figure out the whereabouts of that money.

“Thank you, Mr. Su.” she said.

“Gu Zi, don’t be so formal with me,” Su Shen responded. His tone conveyed his anticipation of the week passing quickly, as he was eager to become a married couple with Gu Zi and start their life together.

Gu Zi’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing him call her “Gu Zi.” It was the first time he had called her by her name..
