Chapter 445: As You Command, Our Queen

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Su Bing was not one to hold grudges, particularly against his younger brother. He found his brother’s antics amusing, often musing that nephews tend to take after their uncles. Their father, in essence, was their uncle, so wouldn’t it be natural for him to exhibit similar traits?

Inside the house, Gu Zi stirred at the sound of voices. Although still drowsy, the thought of the day’s important tasks spurred her into action. She slapped her cheeks lightly to shake off the sleepiness, then called out, “You two go ahead, I’ll be right there.”

She neatly folded her blanket, got out of bed, and after freshening up and changing her clothes, she descended the stairs. She hadn’t bothered with makeup, just applied some moisturizing cream to hydrate her skin.

Breakfast was prepared by Su Bing. He had steamed two plates of dumplings and fried four eggs. Despite the slightly burnt edges, his effort was evident. Gu Zi found it endearing, after all, it was not normal for a child to do everything perfectly.

She ruffled Su Bing’s hair, praising, “Our eldest’s culinary skills have improved again, well done!”

Su Bing blushed at the compliment, his head almost dipping into the bowl in front of him. His heart pounded in his chest. He felt undeserving of such praise from his mother, especially since he had burnt the eggs.

Gu Zi, aware of his shyness, picked up a dumpling for him, and another for the eagerly waiting Su Li. She always strived for fairness, ensuring that what one child received, the other did too.

Then, holding Lele, Gu Zi began her breakfast. Midway, she warmed up a few bottles of milk – one for herself, and one each for the brothers. Lele didn’t need milk, Gu Zi prepared formula for her, the nutrients in it were more beneficial for a baby of her age.

After breakfast, Gu Zi placed Su Le on the couch to play by herself. She was about to clean up the kitchen when she was pulled back to the couch by her younger son. Both her sons stood before her, bowing in unison.

The sight of her eldest son seriously following his younger brother’s lead in bowing made Gu Zi want to laugh. Then, her younger son spoke on behalf of both, “Dear mother, please let us know what chores need to be done. While waiting for Father to return, you can choose to play with Lele, or dress up, but you cannot work. We will take care of the chores!”

After saying this, he stepped back, pulling his older brother with him. The older one added, “Yes, when we are not at home, you take care of the house. When we are home, we should help with the housework and let you rest.”

Gu Zi smiled at them, touched by their thoughtfulness. She said, “Thank you for helping me, but I don’t feel tired. We can work together. The eldest can clean up the dining table and wash the dishes as usual, and the younger one can water the plants and then help me clean the pigeon cage, how about that?” She was comfortable in her natural state, and had planned to take it easy and not wear makeup that day.

Her younger son exchanged a glance with his older brother, then turned to his mother and shook his head firmly.

Gu Zi felt helpless against their stubbornness. After all, they were only trying to help out of concern for her. Gu Zi said, “Then you two decide. You do the cnores, ana I’ll Play witn l.,ele.”

Upon hearing her words, the two boys chimed in unison, “As you command, our queen!”

Their faces flushed, they scampered off, leaving Gu Zi to address her daughter, Lele. “Now that I’ve become the queen of this household, our Lele must be the little princess. How does that sound, Princess Lele?”

The little girl, perhaps not fully comprehending her mother’s words, responded with a delighted laugh and enthusiastic clapping. It was clear she enjoyed the new title.

As Gu Zi played with Lele, she occasionally glanced at her sons. They had already tidied up the kitchen and dining room. The eldest was cleaning the pigeon cage, while the second was watering the herbs in the garden. There was no need for her to worry.

Deep down, Gu Zi was somewhat surprised. It was expected of her second son, but why was her eldest son so cooperative today?

Nevertheless, it was a pleasant surprise. It suggested that her eldest son’s character was not unchangeable. If this continued, his mindset would also change significantly. Seeing her eldest son today, she had particular confidence in this.

Of course, Gu Zi was unaware that Su Bing, in his heart, had already considered her as important a family member as Su Shen. Su Bing wanted to get closer to her, feeling that being like his younger brother would make it easier.

That’s why he was willing to follow his younger brother’s lead earlier, to see how it felt. So far, it seemed quite nice. Seeing his mother’s puzzled yet happy expression, Su Bing felt it was worth occasionally tarnishing his image.

Around eight o’clock, Su Shen returned. He changed his clothes and took his wife and children into town. After dropping Gu Zi and the children off at the hospital, Su Shen drove away.. Su Bing asked, “Mom, why isn’t Dad coming with us?”
