Chapter 953: A Day of Reunion

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gao Ming, seeing so many people ganging up on his best friend, rushed forward to bolster their forces. Puffing up his small chest, he shot a glare at Wang Qiang and his crew. “You lot are so annoying! You didn’t get any cake, so now you’re throwing tantrums? Too bad! We couldn’t care less about your nonsense. Su Li, let’s go inside and finish the cake. We haven’t even touched the mango one yet!”

Without waiting for a reply, Gao Ming grabbed Su Li by the arm and started pulling him toward the house. As they turned to leave, Gao Ming stuck out his tongue and made a goofy face at Wang Qiang and his lackeys.

The defiant gesture made their blood boil. Their faces twisted in frustration as they stomped away in defeat, muttering curses under their breath.

Inside the house, Gu Zi watched it all unfold from the doorway. She couldn’t help but beam with pride and relief as Su Li firmly turned away from the kind of people she’d warned him against.

Her heart swelled as she thought about her three children—each of them truly growing into thoughtful and independent individuals. Her smile broadened, but before she knew it, tears spilled down her cheeks.

Just then, Su Shen walked in and caught sight of her tear-streaked face.

Alarmed, he quickly approached with a kitchen towel in hand. “What’s wrong? Why are you crying? And laughing, too? If you’re tired, go upstairs and rest. Don’t overdo it.”

Gu Zi batted away his outstretched hand and laughed. “I’m fine! These are happy tears. Su Li’s birthday has made me so happy. Can’t a mother cry from joy?”

She glanced around at the guests still mingling nearby and added with a playful scold, “What are you trying to do, scoop me up and carry me upstairs? Don’t forget, most of the guests here are moms. How do you plan to handle them all by yourself if I leave you alone?”

Su Shen, realizing he had overreacted, awkwardly withdrew his hand. “Point taken,” he muttered and retreated to the kitchen to busy himself.

He figured she was right—better to leave the social niceties to her while he made himself useful elsewhere. Besides, cleaning the kitchen meant less work for her later.

When Gu Zi finally walked into the kitchen after seeing the guests off, she was stunned to find it spotless. The counters gleamed, and every dish was neatly stacked or put away. Not a crumb was left in sight. She instantly knew who the culprit was.

Her heart brimming with gratitude, Gu Zi went on a mission to find her husband. She found him in the backyard, watering their little vegetable garden. The sight made her pause for a moment.
