“Remember the two patches of ground in the yard that we didn’t cement over?” Gu Zi proposed, her eyes alight with an idea. “I was thinking of using one of them to build a clay oven. We could use it for roasting meat and even baking bread. ”

Listening to Gu Zits words, Su Shen understood what she meant by a clay oven. He marveled at her ingenuity and couldn’t help but ask, “Are you sure you grew up in the city?”

Gu Zi, undeterred by his skepticism, replied, “Of course. But I love reading, and learning from instructional books isn’t that hard. Besides, I attended the best bilingual schools in the city. Their educational approach was very advanced, teaching not only textbook knowledge but also practical life skills.”

She wasn’t lying. The schools she attended indeed offered many practical courses outside of the regular curriculum.

Gu Zi, with her stunning beauty and natural talent, was always the center of attention wherever she went.

Her adoptive parents, the Gu couple, reveled in the extra attention they received whenever they took her out, basking in the reflected glory.

As they became more and more convinced of the honor Gu Zi could bring to their family, they spared no expense to get her into the best primary school, using all their connections and resources.

Later, in middle and high school, Gu Zi lived up to their expectations, gaining admission to the best schools on her own merit.

If it hadn’t been for Lin Miao’s meddling. causing a rift between the Gil couple

and Gu Zi, they would never have let their adopted daughter leave. After all, a girl as exceptional as Gu Zi was a rare find.

Su Shen knew that Gu Zits upbringing and educational environment were extremely privileged. Hearing her explanation, he found it reasonable. No wonder Gu Zi was capable of doing so many things.

However, based on his impression of the Gu couple, he believed that they invested so much in Gu Zi’s upbringing more for their own prestige and to use her to gain benefits, rather than considering her personal development.

If the Gu couple truly loved Gu Zi, they would never have forced her to drop out of school and get married.

Regardless, the Gu couple did spend money on Gu Zi’s upbringing, providing her with a relatively good standard of living. As long as they didn’t do anything too outrageous, he wouldn’t hold it against them.

Su Shen said, “Alright, my wife is truly amazing. What do you need me to do?”

Gu Zi replied, “Just help me buy some materials and tools and bring them back. We need red bricks, cement, river sand, pebbles… Oh, and some empty beer bottles.”

At the mention of empty beer bottles, Su Shen was reminded of the morning after their wedding night.

Backstage at the tea ceremony, he had overheard someone on the radio saying that Gu Zi would regret missing out on a man like Gong Zhan.

Although Gu Zi had stopped pursuing him, there must be some regret, right?

Su Shen’s eyes suddenly grew cold. “Alright, I’ll remember. Let’s go to sleep now.” He pushed Gu Zi’s hand away and tucked her into bed.

His actions were still considerate, but Gu Zi, with her keen perception, sensed something was off. Looking into his eyes, she asked, “Did I say something wrong? If I did, you can tell me.”

She thought back, but all she had mentioned were the materials and tools she needed. She hadn’t said anything else.

After tucking her in and making sure she was comfortable, Su Shen leaned down to give her a gentle kiss on the lips. “Of course not. I’m just a bit tired. Let’s get some sleep.”

Even though Gu Zi still felt something was amiss, his reassurance made her drop the subject.

She turned away from him, pulling herself out of his embrace. The atmosphere suddenly turned cold.

Su Shen watched her back for a long time before reaching out to pull her back into his arms. Even with her back to him, he felt content just holding her as they drifted off to sleep.

Gu Zi hadn’t fallen asleep yet. Being held by him like this, her earlier displeasure had already dissipated.

After all, in a relationship, it’s impossible to clarify everything. Sometimes, a little confusion isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

With this realization, Gu Zi gradually fell asleep. The next morning, she was awakened by Su Shen’s kiss. Opening her eyes, she was met with his handsome face and enticing physique.

He was shirtless, his body still damp, and the sunlight streaming in highlighted his perfect abs, an image so sexy it could make anyone swoon.

Gu Zi squinted at him for a while, only realizing how dangerous her gaze was when he leaned in to kiss her again..
