“I certainly won’t allow you to monopolize the Su family!” Su Jing raised her chin and stood up, beckoning Jin Long to leave with her.

Jin Long said, “Sister-in-law, she’s just that kind of brainless person. You don’t have to bother with her,” before following suit and leaving.

Gu Zi naturally paid no heed to what Su Jing said. After the two left, she started preparing dinner.

While she was cooking, Su Bing came in right after two dishes were done. The next three dishes were under his supervision, with Gu Zi offering guidance.

When it was time for dinner, Su Shen hadn’t returned home yet, so Gu Zi and the three children went ahead and ate first. This was because Su Shen had previously mentioned that they didn’t need to wait for him if he hadn’t returned by mealtime.

After dinner, Gu Zi and the children watched TV in the living room, snacked on treats, and had some herbal jelly.

When Su Shen returned, Gu Zi was feeling a bit sleepy and was about to take Lele upstairs to sleep.

“Have you eaten?” she asked, sitting on the sofa and looking up at him. Her feet were on the sofa, but when she was about to get off, she did not see her slippers.

“I’ve eaten. I have something to tell you,” Su Shen said, picking up Gu Zi’s light green plastic slippers. He walked over, squatted down beside her, and Gu Zits face grew slightly warm.

Was he going to help her put on her shoes? The mature man actually knew how to be romantic!

However, she felt a bit embarrassed and said, “Su Shen, I can manage it myself. ”

But Su Shen insisted on doing it this way, firmly holding her ankle. In a deep voice, he said, “You’re my girlfriend. Don’t be polite with me.”

He gently slipped the slipper onto her foot, and his gaze involuntarily scanned her fair and tender foot, a hint of subtle desire flickering in his eyes.

This woman was about to marry him; he would tightly hold onto her and never let her slip away.

Her ankle felt warm under his grasp. “Alright, let’s go upstairs.”

“Okay.” He released her foot, stood up with his tall figure, and Gu Zi looked at him. Under the lamplight, his mature and handsome face became more charming.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, feeling a bit dizzy. She unexpectedly remembered the scene from her dream, where he loomed over her like a fierce black wolf…

A faint smile curved on Su Shen’s lips. He bent down, picked Su Le up and headed upstairs.

Gu Zi tapped her face lightly, then followed, instructing Su Bing and Su Bing to turn off the TV and go to bed early.

After the two entered Gu Zi’s room, Su Shen placed Su Le on the bed and said, “I need to get something.”

“This is originally your room, you can take whatever you need,” Gu Zi replied.

What Su Shen wanted was on top of the wardrobe, but with his height and long arms, he easily reached it.

He retrieved a seemingly ordinary wooden box secured with a small copper lock. Su Shen handed the key and the wooden box to Gu Zi. “I need to manage some affairs related to the pig farm. Sometimes I might not have the time, so I’ll leave the household finances to you.”

Gu Zi liked money and had mentioned that she admired men with financial capabilities.

Su Shen had learned quite a bit of theory during his free time. In love, one must cater to the other’s preferences, while marriage required mutual trust.

Regardless of their current relationship as lovers or future spouses, Su Shen believed that he should entrust the household finances to her entirely. He was willing to have complete trust in her.

Gu Zi initially thought it was just a small gift, but after hearing him, she realized his intention: he wanted to hand over the household’s financial control to her!

“Are you sure?” Gu Zi’s pupils dilated. After all, they hadn’t even registered their marriage yet.

Su Shen nodded firmly, “Sure. You have the right to manage the money and belongings inside.”

Curious, Gu Zi examined the box and asked, “Can I take a look at what’s inside?”

Su Shen used the key to open the small copper lock. Seeing what was inside, Gu Zi’s mouth formed a perfect ‘O’ shape.

Inside lay a passbook and approximately half a box of gold necklaces! Leaving aside how much money was in the passbook, if the gold were sold, it wouldn’t be a small sum!

Gu Zi picked up the passbook, a red-colored book with the words “Current Savings Passbook, People’s Bank” written on it.

So, in this era, there was already a savings deposit service in the People’s Bank. Each transaction inside was handwritten.

After checking the balance, Gu Zi realized that Su Shen was indeed a wealthy man! He was even wealthier than what outsiders knew.

She confirmed again, “You’re handling control of all these to me? Aren’t you worried that I might lose it?”

After all, without an ID card, taking a passbook to withdraw money was easy. That posed quite a substantial risk to Su Shen.

Su Shen shook his head, “I’m not worried. I believe you have the ability to manage it properly. And even if something goes wrong, I’m willing to share the responsibility with you..”
