Chapter 559: Setting Aside Prejudice

Everyone else also fell silent, turning their attention to the main course. At this point, Gu Zi rose from her seat and headed to the kitchen. When she returned, she was carrying another plate of ribs, arranged to resemble a small volcano. Su Shen had just finished a drink with Hu Bing, and as he set down his glass, he reached out to take the plate from Gu Zi, intending to place it in the center of the table.

Gu Zi sat down and stopped him with a gesture, whispering, “This is for you. I made it with a non-spicy sauce. Try it quickly and eat more.”

Without hesitation, Su Shen kept the plate of ribs in front of him. He held his breath, his heart pounding. She knew he couldn’t handle spicy food, so she had specifically prepared it to suit his taste.

It was then that Su Shen realized that the few dishes he had eaten earlier all had a slight spicy taste, which he could handle. She had prepared them according to his taste.

As Su Shen ate the ribs, his throat became dry, and he momentarily forgot how to breathe.

Su Li stared intently at the small portion of ribs, suddenly feeling that the ribs in his own hands were not as fragrant. He envied his father and wished he could try the non-spicy volcanic ribs.

At the same time, Su Bing also glanced at the small portion of ribs, feeling even more supportive of his mother. His mother loved his father so much, and this was a good thing.

That evening, Hu Bing found the dinner both novel and awkward. The novelty lay in the unique and delicious dishes on the table. Despite having traveled to many places, he had never encountered such delicacies before. Today, he felt as though his horizons had been broadened.

His awkwardness stemmed from his foolish actions. Despite his rudeness, he was treated with good food and wine by the woman he had disrespected. The contrast made him feel ashamed, and he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

Moreover, he had initially only noticed Su Shen’s approval and protection of this woman, but he had failed to see the woman’s meticulous care for Su Shen. She knew he didn’t eat spicy food and had specifically prepared his favorite dishes. Who wouldn’t protect such a person?

Perhaps he had been too narrow-minded. Su Shen was no fool. If Gu Zi had been using any tricks, she might have been able to deceive him for a while, but not for long. Setting aside his prejudice, it seemed more like they were treating each other with genuine affection.

The affectionate display between Su Shen and his wife made it clear to him that he should not stay for long.

After eating some food and having his third drink with Su Shen, Hu Bing excused himself. Su Shen did not try to keep him, but accompanied him out, got into his car, and, fulfilling his duties as a host, drove him to the village entrance, chatting with him along the way.

When Su Shen returned, Gu Zi and Su Li were talking in the courtyard. As soon as he entered, they stopped talking, as if they were discussing something secretive. Gu Zi went to him, “Eat some more. You’ve been drinking, and you still have to work the night shift later.”

Su Shen went in with her and ate some more. Seeing his father eating, Su Li continued to eat as well, gnawing on a long rib that his father had given him. It was the non-spicy kind, with a sour and fragrant taste, and it was also very delicious.

Gu Zi and Su Bing didn’t eat anymore. They cleaned up the dishes and dealt with the aftermath.

At night, after Su Shen had taken a bath, he came out and didn’t see Gu Zi. Only Su Le, who had been coaxed to sleep, was lying quietly on the bed, already fast asleep. After changing his clothes, he still didn’t see her return to the room, so he went out to look for her and finally found her in the small courtyard.

She was wearing a loose long-sleeved nightgown, her hair casually draped over her back, the ends falling just where her pert buttocks began to curve.

She was standing in front of the clay oven, fiddling with something. The air was filled with the aroma of roasted meat, assaulting his senses. Visually, her movements caused her hair to sway slightly, highlighting the gracefulness of her waist.

Even in her loose clothing, Gu Zi’s figure exuded a sense of elegance and charm. Watching her, Su Shen’s Adam’s apple bobbed slightly.

He stepped forward and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind. His voice was low and slightly hoarse, “Making a late-night snack?”

Gu Zi looked down and saw Su Shen’s protruding wrist bone and his slender, well-proportioned fingers. Her breath hitched. “Yes, I’m making a late-night snack for you to take to the pig farm tonight. Look, it’s a fragrant roast pigeon.”

It was Aunt Zhang’s words earlier that day that had reminded her. She couldn’t take Su Shen’s kindness for granted. She had decided then to make him a better late-night snack to show her gratitude.

So when Su Shen went out to get the pork ribs, she had started roasting the pigeon. The slow-roasted pigeon, cooked with residual heat, had an extraordinary aroma. It was just right to eat now.
