Chapter 403 You've Changed
Jin Long was tempted to step inside and partake in the feast, but he hesitated, not wanting to intrude on the couple's private space.
However, he found himself unable to walk away. After all, Su Shen never considered his feelings as a lonely bachelor. Moreover, his previous attempts to join them for meals had never been successful.
Inside the office, today's lunch had already been laid out on the guest tea table by Guzi. Two golden, enticing loaves of bread, a bowl brimming with crispy pork belly, a bowl of roasted cherry tomatoes and corn, brightly colored, two servings of millet porridge, and a portion of ginger milk exclusively for Su Shen.
The lunch combination looked refreshingly new. Guzi placed a loaf of bread and a bowl of millet porridge in front of Su Shen, "I tried the two earthen ovens I built. Taste it and let me know what you think."
Su Shen's gaze, which had been on Guzi, shifted to the bread upon hearing her words. The golden color and the wafting aroma confirmed that this was indeed bread baked in the earthen oven. He wondered if there was anything this woman couldn't do.
Su Shen said, "You've worked hard. You should eat first." He broke off a small piece from his loaf and fed it to Guzi.
Guzi accepted it naturally. The bread was crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. A few chews released the unique sweetness of wheat on her tongue. It was delicious! Su Shen also took a bite. He rarely indulged in such western delicacies, considering them too refined for his taste. He had never really learned to appreciate them.
However, eating the bread prepared by his woman evoked a different feeling. It was not just enjoyment, but also a sense of anticipation for life, a newfound flavor that made life interesting.
Sitting in Su Shen's arms, Su Le's large eyes darted between her mother and father. She was completely flabbergasted. Had they not considered that their
daughter might also want a taste? Was she no longer their precious little one?
Before Su Le could voice her protest, a figure appeared at the door. It was Jin Long, who had come to mooch off their meal.
At the same time, Gu Zi's beautiful fingers pinched a small piece of bread and fed it into Su Le's mouth. Su Le was conquered by the new taste, her little mouth moving as she
chewed. The experience of being ignored by her parents was quickly forgotten.
Jin Long, learning from past experiences, bypassed Su Shen and asked Gu Zi for food. "Hello sister-in-law, what delicious food are you having? Can I have some too?"
Gu Zi straightened her posture and distanced herself slightly from Su Shen. It was better to maintain decorum in front of outsiders. She divided Su Shen's bread in half and offered it to Jin Long. "Here, have this. Try the pork belly too."
Jin Long accepted the half loaf of bread and took a big bite, immediately giving a thumbs up. "Sister-in-law, you're amazing. You can even make bread. That's incredible!"
Su Shen stood up with a cold expression and walked towards Jin Long, his voice as low as ever. "Come here, I need to talk to you."
After saying this, he led Jin Long out of the office. Jin Long finished the bread in a few bites, his mouth watering at the sight of the clearly visible grilled pork belly. "What's the rush? At least let me have a piece first. You're being stingy...
Jin Long was forcibly led out, a chill settling in his heart as he looked at Su Shen. "We're supposed to be bros. Am I not worth a few pieces of pork belly to you? Su Shen, you've changed!"
Su Shen had no intention of responding to his unreasonable complaints. He calmly said, "I'll let you eat your fill later. You have to help me with something this afternoon."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Sure enough, after their conversation, Jin Long was granted his wish of pork belly, marking his first successful mooching attempt.
Gu Zi was unaware of their agreement. Watching her man, she found him quite adorable. Despite his size, he was still like a young boy, arguing and using food to barter for favors.
After finishing their meal, Gu Zi began to clean up the lunch boxes to leave, but Su Shen stopped her. His deep eyes gazed at her beautiful face as he slowly spoke, "We've known each other for a while now, and I've never taken you to a movie. I bought two tickets this morning. Let's go see a film."
"A movie?" Gu Zi's tone was somewhat surprised. She
wasn't aware that in this era, going to the movies was quite common for some people.
