Chapter 173: Too Charming

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the past, Su Shen was a workaholic, dedicating almost 20 hours a day to the farm. He managed nearly all the farm work himself.

Now, not only did he make it home in time for dinner every day, but he also had to personally oversee matters related to marriage.

Jin Long used to find contentment and relaxation at the farm, but now it felt like a miserable place. He had taken on all the tasks that Su Shen used to handle.

“From what you’ve described, their relationship seems quite strong,” remarked Gong Xin.

Recalling Gu Zi’s satisfaction with Su Shen, Gong Xin realized that Gu Zi had indeed found someone she truly liked.

Gong Xin couldn’t help but feel contempt for Lin Miao. Gu Zi had a husband like Su Shen. She was affluent, beautiful, and lived a comfortable life. Why would she even bother to disrupt their lives in such a shameless manner?

She held a similar view of Gong Zhan, considering him a psychopath. Hadn’t he seen Su Shen before? Shouldn’t he feel ashamed?

From Gong Xin’s standpoint, other than being a few years younger than Su Shen, her brother didn’t seem to have any other significant advantages.

“By the way, are the three children from Su Shen’s ex-wife?” Gong Xin shivered at the thought of the boys’ gloomy gazes.

Jin Long shook his head. “Su Bing and the others are actually Su Shen’s sister’s children. His sister passed away, so Su Shen adopted them under his name for easier care.”

Gong Xin was somewhat surprised by this revelation. They weren’t his biological children. Su Shen truly had a generous heart.

The three children appeared to be quite pitiful, especially Lele, who had lost her biological parents at a young age.

As the car arrived at the station, Jin Long stopped and mentioned, “There are still some tasks for me at the pig farm. I won’t be able to wait for the bus with you. Can you manage on your own?”

Carefully stepping out of the car, Gong Xin smiled sweetly as she looked up. “Of course. Thank you, Brother Jin Long.”

She turned and walked towards the bus stop, even turning around to wave at Jin Long.

Under the sunlight, her smile was particularly captivating. Jin Long raised his hand in farewell, feeling a tinge of reluctance within.

Only after the girl had walked a distance did he start the engine and return to the pig farm. He indeed had responsibilities, like checking the water source with Su Shen to ensure its safety.

Upon entering the office, his eyes widened. Through partially drawn curtains, he witnessed an incredibly intimate scene.

The man inside noticed his gaze and used his tall frame to shield the woman in his embrace.

Jin Long took a deep breath, caught off guard. He hadn’t expected Boss Su, typically reserved, to reveal such a passionate side.

The age-old saying proved true: even heroes from ancient times couldn’t resist the allure of beauty! Wisely, he sensibly decided to step away once more.

The office was steeped in an intense atmosphere when suddenly, the man paused.

Silently, he adjusted her dress and draped his coat over her.

“I need to step out for a while. Rest for a bit and then head home.”

Gu Zi had just experienced the man’s advances. In this moment, her expression appeared unusually gentle, with a hint of allure in her eyes.

She nodded and put on the man’s coat. The man’s fervor had been overwhelming, tearing her dress in the process.

“Remember to have the soup. You can take it upstairs to drink.”

Su Shen took the thermos box and briskly left the office. Gu Zi didn’t want to stay there any longer. The atmosphere seemed to instantly intensify her longing for Su Shen.

After Su Shen and Jin Long departed, Gu Zi composed herself and left the office.

Upon returning home, she ascended to the upper floor to freshen up and change her clothes.

Sitting by the bed, she embraced Su Shen’s coat. She leaned in slightly, trying to capture the scent—cold and comforting—emanating from Su Shen’s coat. She couldn’t help but ponder. Wasn’t it often said that men were only driven by their needs? Yet why did she feel a bit enticed herself? She could only blame the older man for being too charming.

At that moment, a voice called from downstairs—it seemed to be Lin Cheng.

Gu Zi set aside the man’s coat and hurried downstairs to open the door.

There stood Lin Cheng, Lin Hun, and Li Hua, carrying a carrying pole, a box, and a bag laden with various items for the Su family.

Li Hua spoke, “These are the items you’ll need to decorate your new house.

Mom and I worked overnight to prepare them and rushed here to deliver.”

Gu Zi swiftly invited them inside. Li Hua, feeling a bit apprehensive upon spotting Big Yellow, sought refuge behind Lin Cheng as they entered.

The trio set down their belongings and took seats on the sofa, appearing somewhat reserved.

They were aware that Su Shen was the first in the village to construct a two-story building, but they hadn’t anticipated it to be so magnificent.

The furniture and electrical appliances within the house were remarkably comprehensive. The house exuded a sense of sophistication and affluence that seemed incongruent with the rural setting..
