Chapter 898: Daddy Is So Cunning
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Shen knew just how much effort Gu Zi put into raising their three children. She had educated them to be exceptionally capable, so it wasn’t surprising that Lele could speak a foreign language at such a young age.
However, he felt for Gu Zi—juggling work, studying, and taking care of the kids was exhausting.
Today, Su Shen had decided to delegate most of his work to others. He planned to spend more time at home, watching the kids and allowing Gu Zi to focus on her studies.
As long as she wanted to soar, he was more than willing to protect her wings.
After handing Su Le over to his two sons, Su Shen entered the kitchen to prepare lunch.
Gu Zi was a meticulous and tidy woman, and under her care, the kitchen had an elegant charm. Delicate lace curtains, floral aprons, and a carefully curated collection of tableware were all arranged with precision, creating a visually pleasing environment.
Su Shen picked up a small floral apron and tied it around his waist, realizing it was a size too small but not minding it much. He got to work, chopping vegetables and cooking, and soon the kitchen was filled with the robust, rustic aroma of food.
Su Li followed the delightful scent and found his dad preparing two dishes and a soup: a large bowl of stir-fried garlic shoots with pork, a bowl of dry-fried green beans, and a bowl of sour cabbage beef soup. Compared to his mom’s meticulous cooking, this seemed rather simple.
Having been spoiled by Gu Zi’s cooking, Su Li silently grabbed a bowl and opened the corner kimchi jar, carefully extracting some of the homemade kimchi just as his mom had taught him. The tangy, spicy flavors were delicious, and he planned to mix it with his dad’s dishes to recreate the taste of home.
After placing the kimchi on the table, Su Li turned to dash upstairs, only to be caught by Su Shen, who grabbed him by the collar and pulled him back. “You take care of your sister while I go call your mom,” he said in a low voice.
Before Su Li could protest, Su Shen strode upstairs, leaving him with Su Le. Su Li felt that his dad was being a bit crafty, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Su Shen understood Gu Zi’s playful nature, but he didn’t respond to her teasing; instead, he said earnestly, “I just wanted to watch you a little longer at night.”
Upon hearing his heartfelt words, Gu Zi felt her heart race, and the playful banter ceased.
She followed him downstairs, and as they ate, she savored the two bowls of sour soup. As he had said, it was indeed delicious.
Seeing Gu Zi enjoy the meal brought a sense of accomplishment to Su Shen. He handed her a napkin, speaking gently, “If you like it, I’ll make it more often.”
Gu Zi wasn’t shy about expressing her enjoyment. With a playful smile, she replied, “Then I’ll be having it often, Mr. Su. Cheers to our partnership!”
Not fully understanding the exchange, Su Li watched his parents joke about “partnership” over lunch. Eagerly, he chimed in, “Mom, can you tell me bedtime stories in a foreign language too? Look at how you tell them to my sister; she’s already learned to speak it!”
