“Very well, your advice is sound,” he conceded. “Keeping a distance from those who are overly status-conscious and prideful is indeed a wise choice.”

Su Shen was acutely aware of the changes in the Gu family’s attitude towards him.

However, he held no resentment towards this shift. He saw no need for it. Indeed, he did not wish to be overly entangled with the Gu family.

Still, Su Shen found himself puzzled. Given that Gu Zi was well aware of the character of her foster parents, why had she chosen to marry him instead of seeking a way out?

Could it have been because she was in a feud with Gong Zhan?

It was hard to believe that someone as intelligent as Gu Zi would back herself into a corner with no other options.

Now, Su Shen was even more convinced that Gong Zhan was likely the reason.

He could have accepted any other reason, but this one alone made him inexplicably uncomfortable.

By the time the couple returned home, it was already past noon. Gu Zi asked Su Shen to bring their daughter, Lele, home. She planned to cook a simple meal using the leftover rice from the previous night, stir-frying it with eggs and ham slices. She would also prepare a tomato and pork soup, using the remaining pigeon soup as a base.

Next door, Aunt Zhang’s grandson, Shi Tou, had been waiting eagerly behind the door. By this time, his fairy auntie would usually come to pick up his sister, and he would get to see her and enjoy some delicious food.

Of course, even if there was no food, he wouldn’t mind. He had already eaten so much of Gu Zit s food, he wouldn’t be upset if she didn’t give him any more. He was just looking forward to seeing her.

He waited behind the door for a while, then sat on the doorstep for a while, until he finally heard some movement.

He quickly scrambled up from the doorstep and ran outside, but his steps gradually slowed when he looked up and saw not his auntie, but a handsome uncle whom he had to crane his neck to see.

Darn! He was waiting for his fairy auntie, not the handsome uncle.

But his auntie had told him to be polite, so he spoke up with a hint of disappointment, “Uncle, are you here to pick up Lele?”

After saying this, he went to call his grandmother. Su Shen didn’t notice the obvious disappointment on the child’s face and slowed his pace to follow.

Upon hearing her grandson’s call, Zhang Cuihua hurried out of the kitchen.

By the time Su Shen entered, she was already holding the sleeping little girl. She handed the child to Su Shen, saying, “Little Lele has been very good. She played with Shi Tou for a while, then fell asleep after drinking her milk. She hasn’t woken up yet. You should wake her up when you get home.”

Su Shen didn’t have much to say in response. He simply nodded and thanked her before preparing to leave with the child. However, he noticed Aunt Zhang seemed to have something more to say, so he slowed his steps.

Gu Zi had told him that Aunt Zhang was not the type to gossip without reason. If she wanted to speak, it must be something important.

As expected, Aunt Zhang finally broke the silence, addressing Su Shen. “Su Shen, there are some things I’d like to say to you. Just listen, don’t take it to heart. I think Gu Zi is a good-hearted child. She takes care of the children with all her heart, even towards my Shi Tou, she has nothing but kindness. I can see that she truly loves children.”

Su Shen, seeing Aunt Zhang beat around the bush without getting to the point, understood that she had some reservations.

Su Shen was not one to pay much attention to others or their affairs, thus he often overlooked certain things. However, once he paid attention and had similar experiences, he was able to see through them.

He spoke to alleviate her concerns, “You can speak freely, I won’t overthink it, and I certainly won’t think that Gu Zi is trying to influence me through you. She’s not that kind of person, I Imow.”

Aunt Zhang nodded repeatedly, “1 think Gu Zi is different from the women before. She has a strong personality but is kind-hearted and reasonable. She’s so young, and you’re in your prime, why not have a child of your own?”

Aunt Zhang felt that it would be a real pity if two people with such good genes didn’t have a child.

She was not one to mince words. If she had something to say, she would say it. Of course, it was not her place to directly tell Su Shen this, he had to see it for himself.

After hearing these words, Su Shen fell silent for a moment, then said to Aunt Zhang, “You’re right, but Lele has already delayed her enough. Let’s talk about having children later. Aunt Zhang, I should go now.”

Aunt Zhang was a bit taken aback.

She didn’t understand, could it be that Gu Zi was reluctant to have a child?

When Su Shen returned home, Gu Zi was cooking rice, and a pot of tomato soup was simmering on the other side of the stove. Su Shen looked at the little girl in his arms, unsure of how to wake her up. In the end, he turned to Gu Zi for help..
