Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Zi had studied micro-expression psychology. Recalling the fleeting malice in Lin Laoyao’s eyes, she knew that he had harbored thoughts of revenge. At this moment, she shared her thoughts with Su Shen.

“Actually, if we don’t pursue Lin Jie, they won’t seek revenge for this. But the result would be Lin Laoyao’s family continuing to leech off us sporadically. If they can’t suck blood or take advantage, they’ll stir up trouble. Even if he wants to retaliate later, that’s a matter for the future. For now, we can enjoy some peace, without the constant nausea. I don’t want to live like that.”

Su Shen parked the car and gently rubbed her hair, comforting her in a low voice, “Then don’t think too much about it. Do things the way you like. If anything happens, I’ll take the hit. If he really wants to retaliate, let him come. We’ll rely on our own abilities. If he succeeds, it just means we weren’t capable enough.”

Su Shen’s previous intention for marrying a woman was simple – to have a wife who could manage the household and take care of the children, while he ensured their material needs were met.

But now, what he wanted to give Gu Zi was far more than that. Besides money and a better life, he also wanted to be her support, her safety net.

Gu Zi’s long eyelashes fluttered, a hint of surprise appearing in her eyes as she looked at him.

She hadn’t expected this man to say such childish words. She knew he was trying to reassure her, and asked with mixed feelings, “Su Shen, why are you so good to me?”

Every time there was an issue with the Lin family, he treated it as his own, always helping to resolve it. He gave her money, strength, heart, and emotional value.

Gu Zi had once read a theory: a man cannot possibly possess the three traits of being handsome, wealthy, and emotionally faithful at the same time. If such a man exists and he also happens to like you, beware – this is not a fairy tale of love, but a love scam!

Gu Zi stared straight at Su Shen. He was handsome and definitely rich. So far, she hadn’t noticed any different feelings he had for other women.

There weren’t even any other women around him, which could be considered faithful.

Gu Zi thought, perhaps it was because in the book, the original author’s character setting was more idealized. It must be so. In that case, she was quite lucky!

Su Shen looked at her cute face, her big eyes rolling around a few times, wondering what this little woman was thinking about.

He slightly hooked the corner of his lips, giving her the answer, “Because you are my wife.”

Gu Zi softly responded with an “Oh”, so that was all. So, he would treat any wife this way?

Did he treat his previous one the same way? Was she overthinking it!

The atmosphere within the car had taken an odd turn, but Gu Zi was quick to shrug it off. She reminded herself not to be too greedy. Su Shen was already a wonderful man, and after all, who else should a man be good to if not his wife?

Their journey back to the village required passing through the town, and it was a perfect opportunity for Gu Zi. She had discussed with her sister-in-law about setting up a bigger business venture. She wanted to find a shop in town to sell spicy soup. Since they had time, she decided to scout for potential locations in town.

She shared her plans with Su Shen, who wholeheartedly agreed. He parked the car and offered to help her scout for the perfect location.

The couple strolled down the main road of the town, observing the bustling scene. The town was far more prosperous than the village, with a steady stream of people even on non-market days. Shops lined both sides of the street, selling vegetables, pork, pastries, and even a few pharmacies and other daily necessities.

Gu Zi considered the shops on both sides of the street as potential locations.

The buildings on either side formed a cohesive group, but she noticed that none of the shops had a particularly spacious storefront. The only one that did was obstructed by a large banyan tree at the entrance.

Su Shen encouraged her not to be disheartened and suggested they explore the area near the town’s primary school. Gu Zi agreed.

The couple walked in silence, and whenever Gu Zi spotted something tasty or fun, she would buy it to try. Su Shen would dutifully pull out his wallet to pay each time.

By chance, Gu Zi spotted a small stall selling handmade cotton shoes. The designs were adorable, but there were hardly any customers stopping to browse.

Gu Zi could guess why. The town was close to rural areas where most women knew how to make their own shoes and didn’t need to buy them. Moreover, it was nearing noon, a time when few people would specifically go out to buy shoes, making the stall seem deserted.

However, the stall owner was in luck today. He had encountered Gu Zi, who didn’t know how to sew and was just wandering around..
