“However, I still have one thing I don’t quite understand. Our pig farm is already quite profitable. Expanding the business will increase our earnings, but it also comes with greater risks, especially since it’s in another region. Are you really sure about continuing to expand at this time?”

Su Shen turned his gaze to the window, where he spotted the graceful figure of Gu Zi bustling among the guests below, capturing his full attention. He found it hard to look away. “Gu Zi said that this is the golden period for our business, and expansion is necessary. We should also focus on expanding inland. I trust her judgment; this business can indeed grow even more…”

Having left the military and given up his past glory and power, Su Shen felt no regret. However, as a man, he couldn’t shake off a sense of unease.

He wouldn’t delve into the murky waters of politics anymore, but in business, he wanted to excel. Only by standing at the top of his field could he protect the ones he loved effortlessly.

The housewarming party was a resounding success. After the dinner, guests began to leave one after another.

Gu Zi had braced herself for a long night of cleaning but was pleasantly surprised to find that the restaurant’s team had called in their cleaning crew. In less than half an hour, they had tidied everything up beautifully. Their service was impeccable.

Initially, when Gu Zi had contacted this team and discussed pricing, she had thought it a bit expensive. Now, though, she understood that there was value in what she was paying for.

After all, money was not an issue for her. If she could resolve such matters with money, why should she exhaust herself? This way, she would have plenty of time to review her studies later that night.

She had faced some hiccups with school arrangements earlier, but thanks to Guan Xin’s help, everything had been resolved. She had been accepted into Guangcheng No. 3 Middle School.

The most important thing now was to prepare thoroughly for the pre-exams. Only by passing the pre-exams could she qualify for the college entrance examinations.

Time was tight, and yesterday she had purchased some review materials, which were just what she needed. After taking a shower, Gu Zi handed Su Le over to Su Shen and headed to the study.

Su Shen knew that Gu Zi planned to study late into the night, so he willingly played the role of a supportive husband, helping Su Le with her wash-up, soothing her to sleep, and reading her foreign-language storybooks as Gu Zi suggested.

Before long, Su Le had drifted off to sleep. Su Shen needed to head to the slaughterhouse that night, so after covering Su Le with a blanket, he left.

However, when Gu Zi returned to their room after her review session, she found Su Le still awake in bed, playing with her fingers. She climbed into bed, gently pulled Su Le into her arms, and softly asked, “Lele, why are you awake?”

Su Le hugged Gu Zi’s neck and planted a kiss on her cheek.

With her big, honest eyes wide open, she replied, “Mommy, Lele isn’t asleep. Daddy’s stories don’t have any feeling, and I can’t listen to them. But I didn’t want to hurt Daddy, so I pretended to be asleep. Is that okay, Mommy?”

Su Le’s language skills had improved rapidly, a development Gu Zi had never anticipated. Now, Su Le no longer needed a speech therapist for special training; her verbal expression was clearer than that of many five- or six-year-olds.

Gu Zi hadn’t expected such a response. Although Su Shen’s storytelling had been critiqued by their daughter, Su Le’s thoughtfulness shone through when she acknowledged that saying so would hurt her father.

This little clever girl made Gu Zi chuckle helplessly. “That’s okay. Our Lele is very thoughtful. Now, let’s have Mommy tell you a foreign-language story. Today, we’ll read about the Three Little Pigs…”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Gu Zi told the story with enthusiasm, using vivid expressions. Normally, Su Le would stay awake until the story was finished, but this time she fell asleep halfway through. She must have been very tired.

Once Su Le was asleep, Gu Zi soon followed suit, enjoying a restful night.

In the following days, Gu Zi maintained a busy routine of parenting, working, and preparing for exams, leading a fulfilling life.

As the weekend approached, she realized that having Su Le at home all day while she studied could be a bit dull for her daughter. So, she decided to let the two brothers take Su Le out to play.

Since the incident where Su Li and her brothers were kidnapped, the community had heightened security measures. Any suspicious individuals found within fifty meters of the neighborhood would be questioned and removed, ensuring that such events would not recur.

With Su Bing accompanying them, Gu Zi felt at ease studying at home.

As soon as Su Li left the house, he called Gao Ming. Together, Su Li and Gao Ming held Su Le’s hands, following their older brother Su Bing as they confidently strolled toward the green fields to the north.

By the time they arrived, Da Hu, Er Hu, and Xiao Hu had already been waiting there for a while.
