Su Shen stepped into his room and went right up to the window to light a cigarette.

He could still hear the woman’s soft breathing beneath him. If he didn’t do something, the restlessness in his heart wouldn’t ease.

As he neared the end of his cigarette, his gaze regained its usual coldness.

Ready to head downstairs, he spotted Su Bing giving Su Li a ride back home.

Su Li sat in the backseat, bubbling with excitement. His legs swung back and forth while he fiddled with an empty lunchbox.

Since Gu Zits arrival, Su Li’s smile had grown wider, and Su Bing had changed too.

There was an abundance of treats at home now, and the meals were more exquisite. She even found ways to cook delicious food for the children.

Her arrival made him realize that besides earning money, being there for his children was crucial too.

Her presence had brought a newfound joy to the family. How could he not be enchanted by such a woman?

Su Shen knew Gu Zit s life wasn’t easy after marrying him. A woman like her could have chosen anyone.

But she was his wife now, and she belonged to him. He would never let her go.

Downstairs, the two brothers entered the house to find their stepmother missing again.

They didn’t expect her to always be home, but without her, the home felt less inviting.

Su Bing managed to mask his feelings, but Su Li’s expression turned sour. He sat with drooped shoulders, his face displaying disappointment.

He slowly took out his homework and couldn’t hold back anymore, “Big

Brother, did Dad and Stepmom have a fight?”

Wasn’t today the day they were getting their marriage certificate? They left early; they should have been back by now.

Moreover, when Stepmom went out before, she would leave them tasty food and little notes. But today, there was nothing.

The house felt empty, and so did his heart.

Seeing Su Shen coming downstairs alone, Su Bing sensed something was off. Did their parents really argue?

“Don’t speak if you’re not sure,” he sternly warned Su Li. “Do your homework.” Su Shen approached them slowly. Why did they seem unhappy to see him?

He had to go to the pig farm later, so he told Su Bing, “I’ll be back very late tonight. You guys make your own dumplings.”

Seeing him like this, Su Bing felt even more uneasy. Did his stepmother really argue with Dad?

“Dad, where’s Lele?” he asked.

Su Li heard his question and looked up at Su Shen expectantly.

His sister was still young and needed Stepmom’s care. Wherever his sister was, Stepmom would be there. His brother was so smart!

“They’re staying at the Lin family’s for a few days,” Su Shen said. “I’ll make time to come back and cook for you.”

Su Bing stayed quiet, and Su Li lowered his head, feeling disheartened.

They just got their marriage certificate today. One went back to their parents’ homes, and the other wanted to go to work. Seeing this situation, they must have had an argument.

Even though the conversation among the three was brief, Su Shen frowned after leaving the room.

He had a feeling the two brothers weren’t very pleased with him. Inside the house, Su Li gazed at the empty lunchbox, feeling a heavy heart.

“I wanted to share with Stepmom that I finished all the rice she made today.

My classmates were envious. When I was eating, they kept peeking at my

lunchbox.”

Before, he used to envy others’ lunchboxes. But now, he made others envious, all thanks to Stepmom.

He had a great day until he came home and found Stepmom wasn’t there. His heart sank instantly.

Su Bing also remembered a girl from his class who timidly asked him for some food during lunch.

The girl was shy but so hungry she gathered the courage to request a bit of rice to try.

She said, “I don’t want your ribs. I just want some rice. It smells so good. Your mom is amazing!”

Su Bing had always disliked women because of the ones he met. That’s why he never interacted with girls in class. But today, for the first time, he remembered a girl’s name.

Perhaps because the girl’s eyes and tone resembled Stepmom’s—kind and gentle.

At night, Su Bing and Su Li couldn’t sleep. They were both wondering when their stepmother would come back.

The next morning, when they went downstairs, they heard sounds from the kitchen. They hurried over and saw a tall figure.

The joy in their eyes was instantly replaced by disappointment..
