Chapter 636: Ready to Go

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After Gu Zi served some refreshments, He Yan was invited to partake. Once he had eaten his fill, he took his leave, saying, “Brother Shen, Sister-in-law, I’ll leave you to your preparations. I’ll be sure to visit again for your housewarming party.”

Once He Yan had departed, Su Shen resumed packing. He turned to Gu Zi and said, “Once you’re done with that suitcase, you should head upstairs and rest. I can handle the rest of the packing. You don’t need to worry about it.”

Gu Zi set the suitcase upright and looked around. Indeed, it was a task that Su Shen could handle on his own. It was more fitting for a man to do such heavy lifting. So, she left the suitcase and headed upstairs. However, she didn’t immediately rest. She needed to check on her sleeping daughter, Su Le, and her two sons who were busy packing their belongings.

She first went to the master bedroom where she found her little girl sound asleep. After giving her a gentle kiss, she left the room. As soon as she opened the door, Su Li ran over, his face flushed as if he was in a hurry. “Mom, I was just looking for you and dad. We’re all moving to the city tomorrow, what about our dog, Big Yellow, and our pigeons?”

Gu Zi had thought it was something serious, but it turned out he was worried about their pets being left behind. She would never do such a heartless thing.

She bent down, one hand on her knee, the other gently patting Su Li’s head. She spoke in a soft voice, “Of course we’ll take them with us. Your father has already arranged everything. Uncle Jin Long and his team will come with a truck tomorrow to help us move. We won’t leave a single pet behind.”

Su Li was immediately relieved, but then asked, “Mom, the houses in the city are all small, right? Will Big Yellow and the pigeons have to stay in our room?”

Gu Zi laughed, “There are big houses in the city too, we just haven’t seen them. Our new home is quite spacious, with two courtyards, front and back. There’s plenty of room for Big Yellow’s new kennel and a couple of pigeon cages. Don’t worry.”

Upon hearing this, Su Li jumped with joy, “That’s great! I’m going to tell Big Yellow that he can come with us to our new home!”

Gu Zi watched as Su Li ran downstairs, disappearing from sight. At that moment, her eldest son, Su Bing, emerged from his room. He said, “Mom, you don’t need to worry about us. Su Li and I have packed all our things. I’m going to help dad now.”

Gu Zi watched them, each one of them making her feel at ease. She really could take a break now.

She quietly reentered the bedroom, slipped under the covers, and lay down next to her sleeping daughter. She slept until nightfall, and when she woke up, her little girl was no longer in her original position.

At that moment, the bedroom door opened and Su Shen walked in. “Su Le is with her brothers. She’s sleeping with them tonight. You were sleeping so soundly earlier, I didn’t want to wake you for dinner. I’m here to wake you now.”

Gu Zi got up and followed him downstairs. On the dining table in the dining room was a freshly cooked bowl of shrimp and egg noodles, and a cup of hot almond tea. She heard Su Shen say, “I cooked the noodles, and Su Bing made the almond tea for you. I just reheated it.”

Gu Zi sat down, picked up her chopsticks, and said to Su Shen, “Thank you, dear. I’m going to start eating now.”

Having slept for so long, Gu Zi was famished. She needed to replenish her energy. She took three bites of the noodles and a sip of the almond tea, feeling a sense of contentment.

What she didn’t notice was the man sitting across from her, watching her eat dinner. When he saw that the first thing she ate was the noodles he had made, he couldn’t help but feel elated. His lips curled into a smile, a feeling of triumph that was hard to suppress. He didn’t understand himself sometimes. Perhaps it was just the competitive nature of men.

After finishing her meal, Gu Zi sat in the living room for a while, her gaze falling on a small black suitcase by the sofa.

She stared at it for a long time, unable to remember what was inside. Su Shen followed her gaze to his suitcase and explained, “Those are my clothes. Yours are in the other suitcases. Everything’s packed. Don’t worry.”

Gu Zi averted her gaze, feeling a bit guilty. It wasn’t that she didn’t trust him, she was reflecting on herself. She knew that her husband didn’t have many clothes, but she didn’t expect it to be so few that they could all fit into a suitcase less than twenty inches long.

This was even after she had bought him several new outfits. Before that, he had even fewer clothes. And her… her gaze involuntarily drifted to the larger suitcases, and she fell into deep thought.

The next morning, the family was all packed and ready to go. Aunt Zhang brought her grandson, Shi Tou, to see them off. Shi Tou’s eyes were red, clearly he had been crying. He walked straight up to Gu Zi, tugging at the hem of her clothes, “Fairy Sister, are you going back to where the fairies live? Will you come to see Shi Tou again?”
