Chapter 198: Getting Sweeter

Gu Zi was lost in thought. Su Shen noticed her earnest expression and decided not to disturb her, instead picking up the thermos to have some porridge and the accompanying dish.

The winter melon porridge Gu Zi made was especially fragrant. After having a mouthful of the pickled pork with cabbage, his appetite was thoroughly

whetted.

Su Shen felt like she had already aligned herself perfectly with his taste buds. He couldn’t let her slip away for the rest of his life.

Gu Zits gaze fell on Su Shen as he enjoyed the food she had prepared. He ate quickly, yet maintained a pleasant eating demeanor.

As she watched him, a passage from a book flashed through her mind. It was a depiction from the original book she had read, describing Lin Miao stumbling upon a scene where Gong Zhan was intimately close with another woman.

Gong Zhan was seated at his desk, while the woman sat on his lap, feeding him a bowl of nourishing soup. At the moment the woman’s face turned, Lin Miao recognized her, her hands trembling with anger.

It turned out to be her high school classmate trying to seduce her man! What a shameless and despicable person!

At the time when Gu Zi read this passage, she hadn’t paid much attention to it. After all, the original book’s author was a man. Men, at times, fantasized more than women did. In their novels, women always seemed to fall for the male leads; it wasn’t a new trope.

Moreover, the original book didn’t mention the name of this woman who was being flirtatious with the male lead, only stating that she was Lin Miao’s high school classmate.

Gu Zi furrowed her brows slightly, a hint of surprise in her eyes.

MO Li was also Lin Miao’s high school classmate. Could this female classmate from the book have already appeared? Could it be MO Li?

Su Shen wiped his mouth after finishing the meal and noticed that she had finally returned from her reverie. “Thinking about the case?”

Gu Zi brought her thoughts back and said, “No, I was just admiring how graceful you look while eating.”

Gu Zi felt no guilt because she hadn’t lied. He did look quite good. She simply couldn’t outright say what she was truly pondering; she couldn’t reveal that she was someone transmigrated from a book.

As she spoke, she began to pack up the thermos box. Lele had just been brought to play by Jin Long. She was planning to pick up Lele and then head back together.

At that moment, Su Shen was stirred by her words and felt unwilling to let her leave so soon.

He took the items from her hands and set them aside, then pulled her closer to him, embracing her gently as he teased, “Your lips have become sweeter after that kiss. Seems like what the book says is true.”

Gu Zi felt like the older man was being a little mischievous for the first time. Why was he teasing her again?

“What book and what does it say?” she asked.

He coughed lightly and covered his mouth with a clenched hand, his brows lowering slightly, exuding a roguish charm.

“It’s a book teaching me how to provide you with a great romantic experience.

It suggests that kissing and caressing can make a woman more tender.”

Su Shen now completely believed that not only did it make her tender, but it also made her all dewy with a kiss.

Unaware of the thoughts swirling in the older man’s mind, Gu Zi was surprised.

He had actually learned how to love, and from reading a book no less. It felt like he had an air of a seasoned professor treating love as a research project with strict methodology…

In the city.

Lin Miao descended from upstairs and paused at the stairwell in front of a row of mailboxes.

In the courtyard, there were rows of mailboxes arranged conveniently for the residents to collect their mail.

Each mailbox had its own lock, requiring a key belonging to each household to open it.

Subsequently, she used some manipulative tactics, feigned innocence, and maligned Gu Zi, successfully gaining her parents’ trust. She acquired Gu Zi’s mailbox key, leading her parents to distance themselves from Gu Zi.

The mailbox key was the first tangible item she retrieved from Gu Zi, and it brought her immense satisfaction, even more so than the day she returned to the Gu family.

At that time, Gu Zi was particularly aloof and didn’t bother arguing with her, making it easy for her to achieve her goals.

However, Gu Zi seemed to have transformed entirely now, becoming increasingly difficult to handle. Moreover, she appeared to be doing well after being with Su Shen, something Lin Miao found particularly distressing.

However, things weren’t going according to her wishes, and now it seemed like she was the one trapped in a predicament.

Gong Zhan was giving her the cold shoulder, and her biological parents were showing dissatisfaction towards her, even starting to order her to come down and collect the mail.

With a stern expression, she inserted the key into the lock and turned it, retrieving two letters. Surprisingly, the one on top was addressed to “Lin Miao.”

Having grown up in the countryside, Lin Miao wasn’t very adept at socializing in the city. So, she had few acquaintances who would write letters to her..
