Chapter 676: Unfortunately, You’re Married
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Bing walked over, handing the milk bottle to Su Le. Su Le, with a cheerful tilt of her head, began to drink, paying no mind to the people around her. She was oblivious to the cold glance hrt brother, Su Bing, shot at Gao Ming. This coldness, however, was less of cruelty and more of helplessness. “Watch my sister for a moment,” he instructed, “I’ll be back once I finish these dumplings.”
Su Bing moved to Gu Zi’s side, devouring the dumplings with gusto. He was eager to finish eating so he could get back to his duties, a display of his sense of responsibility.
Gu Zi had found the earlier interaction between Gao Ming and the child amusing, but now she felt a pang of sympathy for Su Bing. He was eating so quickly, not for his own enjoyment, but to help her watch over Su Le.
Gu Zi took two dumplings from her own bowl and offered them to Su Bing. Meeting his puzzled gaze, she said, “Have a couple more.”
Although Su Bing had already had breakfast with his father, he didn’t refuse his mother’s offer. He obediently ate the dumplings.
After breakfast, Gu Zi took out some pastries she had prepared earlier from the refrigerator. She assembled them into a mixed pastry box and, calling Gao Ming over, they went together to deliver the pastries to the Gao family.
Upon seeing Gu Zi, a genuine joy spread across the face of Old Lady Gao. She welcomed Gu Zi into her home, insisting that she stay for a while, and quickly instructed the housemaid to prepare tea. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Gu Zi had initially intended to decline the invitation. She had only planned to drop off the pastries and hadn’t expected to be invited in. Besides, she had left her children at home. However, she couldn’t refuse Old Lady Gao’s overwhelming hospitality and reluctantly agreed to stay for a while.
She accepted the cup of clear tea that Old Lady Gao handed her, took a sip, and then handed over the box of pastries. “Grandma Gao,” she said, “the dumplings were delicious. We finished them all. I thought I’d bring over some of our spare pastries. We usually have them in the afternoon with some black tea. The children at home love them, and I thought Gao Ming might enjoy them too.
She had heard from her husband that Gong Zhan’s love life had been rather unfortunate. He had once been engaged to a very accomplished woman who was well-suited to him. However, for some reason, his fiancée had left him. Then, on his wedding day, his bride was arrested, causing quite a scandal.
Her husband believed that Gong Zhan and the arrested woman had only held a wedding ceremony and hadn’t officially registered their marriage. Therefore, he had suggested that she keep an eye out for suitable girls to introduce to Gong Zhan.
So, she had kept this in mind. Of all the girls she had met, she had taken a liking to their young new neighbor. However, the girl was already married, which was indeed regrettable.
Upon hearing Old Lady Gao’s explanation, Gu Zi realized that she had intended to introduce her to a potential boyfriend. She couldn’t help but think of her own husband and said, “Old Lady Gao, these things really do depend on fate. My fate is already by my side. You haven’t met my husband yet. He’s a wonderful man, and I’m very satisfied with him.”
Old Lady Gao laughed and said, “I can tell that you’re very happy. Girl, happiness can’t be faked. As long as you’re happy, that’s all that matters. Don’t take what I said to heart. I was just expressing my feelings.”
