Upon the arrival of the first month’s salary in the new term, the bonus was to be distributed along with it. However, for Teacher Zhou, it was as if the duck that was already in her hand had flown away. She would not be receiving this bonus with her monthly salary.

Gu Zi was quite satisfied with this punishment. She accepted the apology gift from Director Zeng, saying, “Since Director Zeng has stepped in, we can consider this matter closed.”

Director Zeng, with a warm smile, replied, “Seeing you accept these, I can rest assured. I won’t bother you any longer, I’ll take my leave.”

After Director Zeng’s departure, Su Shen emerged from the kitchen, taking little Su Le’s hand and walking over to Gu Zi. “The kitchen is all cleaned up,” he said. “If you want to continue reading, go ahead. You have exams this year, so you should focus more on your studies. I’ll take Lele upstairs to change her clothes; she’s gotten wet.”

Gu Zi picked up her book, intending to continue reading. She stood up, wrapped her arms around the older man, and planted a kiss on his chin. “Thank you for taking care of Lele,” she said. “I’ll come up once I finish this chapter.”

Su Shen’s lips curled up slightly, his heart sweet as honey. He picked up Su Le and headed upstairs.

By the time Gu Zi finished her reading and went upstairs, Su Shen had already changed Su Le into her pajamas and was in the children’s room, coaxing her to sleep.

Since they moved here, they had been encouraging Su Le to sleep in her own bed in the children’s room. The small bed was surrounded by railings, ensuring a safe sleep. Moreover, since the children’s room was located within the master bedroom, it was very convenient to take care of her at night.

The little girl was quite resilient. Apart from crying for the first couple of nights, she had adapted well to sleeping in her own bed. Occasionally, she would wet the bed, but Gu Zi had a solution for that. She placed a waterproof cloth under the bedsheet, so that when the bed was wet, only the top sheet needed to be washed.

Gu Zi was the type of person who, once she decided to do something, would do it well. In her previous life, she had never taken care of a child, but now that she needed to, she was able to do it very well. She didn’t let her lack of experience cause her to become flustered.

After glancing at the father-daughter duo, Gu Zi went to gather the laundry and take a bath. After her bath, she sat in front of the vanity mirror, massaging her scalp with a wooden comb, taking care of her long, shiny black hair.

Su Shen came over, took the comb from her hand, and began to comb her hair. Despite being a rough man, he was surprisingly gentle and meticulous when it came to combing her hair.

In truth, Su Shen had undergone a transformation. Previously, his showers were brisk, never exceeding ten minutes. But now, he lavished more time and attention on the task. Just like the shower he had taken earlier, he had spent a full fifteen minutes.

Despite his newfound meticulousness, he still felt coarse, especially when compared to Gu Zi. Her skin was delicate and smooth, just like tender tofu.

After Su Shen finished combing her hair, he pulled her into his embrace. His Adam’s apple bobbed involuntarily, “Gu Zi, may I kiss you now?”

Gu Zi nodded in agreement. He leaned down, and their lips met in a passionate kiss. The temperature in the room seemed to rise rapidly. Overwhelmed by his feelings, Su Shen buried his face in the crook of her neck, his hands exploring her body. His voice was low and husky, “Gu Zi, I might have to leave for a few days.”

Gu Zi was on the brink of surrender, but she was still lucid enough to understand what Su Shen was implying. It must have something to do with the last time Hu Jie had delivered a letter from the commander to him.

Her eyes, clouded with desire, turned to him, “Will you come back?”

Su Shen’s movements became more intense. He changed his position and answered in a hoarse voice, “Of course I’ll come back. Why, don’t you want me to return?”

Gu Zi arched her back, her body writhing in response to his touch. She teased him, “It’s not that I don’t want you to return. I just think that if you don’t come back, you should let me know. That way, I can legally start dating after our divorce…”

Su Shen’s face darkened at her words. His eyes were filled with possessiveness, his tone authoritative, “Don’t think about such impossible things. I’m only leaving for a few days, not forever.”

He silenced her with a kiss, turning her lips a vivid red. In the midst of their passion, he withdrew his hand, suppressing his desire at the crucial moment. He held her as they lay down to sleep.

Gu Zi knew he was upset by her words. She gave him a mischievous smile, planting a soft kiss on his lips, whispering, “Goodnight, husband.”

Su Shen closed his eyes, his eyelashes casting long shadows on his cheeks. He looked as if he was truly asleep.

Gu Zi thought that, surprisingly, the rough man looked somewhat refined in his sleep. She wrapped her arms around his, slowly drifting off to sleep.
