Chapter 1238: Silencing Her

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Zi felt a quiet satisfaction with the outcome.

Youthful love, after all, was often an immature bloom that bore fruit prematurely—fruit lacking the proper nourishment, destined never to become a first-rate harvest. Such early affections should serve as nourishment instead, feeding the soul, allowing the flower to mature fully, and eventually yielding fruit that was large, ripe, and sweet.

That very day, Gu Zi received a letter from Guangcheng, sent by Yang Zhen. Along with the letter came a small wedding gift.

The note cheerfully announced that Yang Zhen had married her military officer husband. Even more heartening was news of Yang Zhen’s brother, Yang Tao, who had pulled himself together, found steady work away from home, and now sent regular remittances to Aunt Yang, who was taking care of both herself and little Yuanyuan, who had just started kindergarten.

Reading the letter, Gu Zi’s heart warmed with relief and happiness for Aunt Yang. With Yang Zhen around, her later years were surely secured; everything was moving in a promising direction. Just as she set the letter aside, Su Shen returned home.

Gu Zi found herself momentarily lost in thought, gazing at him. The years had refined Su Shen’s presence—his maturity deepened like fine wine. Attending countless business banquets had made tying a necktie, slipping into a tailored suit, and arriving in a luxury car second nature to him. He had truly transformed into a picture of a business magnate.

Gone was the harsh aura of his past; the rough edge had long vanished. His demeanor was calm, restrained. His hair cut short and neat, his beard always clean-shaven, his skin growing clearer by the day.

Each time Gu Zi looked upon his increasingly handsome face, she felt a flush of warmth rising in her cheeks. This moment was no different. She awkwardly stood, attempting a graceful escape.

"I’m going to call Sun Yi and ask about the project," she said.

Before she could take a step, Su Shen closed the distance in strides, wrapping her in a protective embrace. His voice dropped low and smooth: "Mrs. Su, where are you running off to? Your husband isn’t going to eat you."

Gu Zi pushed gently against him, feigning annoyance. "You don’t eat people, true. But you do cling. I know I’m irresistible, but you don’t have to be so desperate all the time."
