Gu Zi felt a pang of guilt under the intense scrutiny, her eyes dropping to shield the proud glint within them. She was on the verge of revealing her true feelings, cursing herself for the unexpected pang of sympathy she felt for the older man.

Gu Zi urged him, “Alright, alright, I get it. Go ahead and chop the bones. I’ll go prepare some milk powder for Lele.” She felt a heat spreading throughout her body, a desperate need to escape her husband’s gaze and catch her breath.

Su Shen began to chop the bones, a smirk playing on his lips as he watched her hurried retreat. His little girl was blushing again.

Once Gu Zi reached the dining room, her heart rate finally returned to normal. She suddenly remembered a phrase she had read before being transported into this novel, “The person who has made your heart flutter, living with them, in the future, they will make your heart flutter even more.”

She had scoffed at the sentiment then, but now she was experiencing it firsthand. The phrase was true.

As she moved towards the exit, she heard the sound of an argument from the living room. It seemed to be the eldest child’s voice, his tone cold as he questioned, “How could you bring a letter from another woman to my father? Didn’t you tell her that my father is already married? Does the woman who wrote the letter want to be a homewrecker?”

Gu Zi had already stepped outside when the eldest finished speaking. The second child seemed to finally register what was happening, puffing out his cheeks in anger as he glared at Hu Bing.

“I heard from the aunties in the village that a homewrecker is a woman who purposely destroys other people’s marriages. They’re bad people. Uncle, why are you helping a bad woman? I don’t want you to visit our house anymore!”

Upon hearing these words, Gu Zi had a rough idea of why the two older boys were so upset. Spotting the letter on the table, the one from Hu Jie, she was even more certain of what had transpired.

She approached the two boys, soothing them, “This incident is in the past. When this auntie wrote the letter, she probably didn’t know that your father was already married. We shouldn’t speak to our guests like that.”

Gu Zi didn’t blame them. After all, Hu Bing was the one who had overstepped his boundaries first. It was only natural for the boys to be angry. However, their words were enough to make Hu Bing blush from embarrassment. Her words were merely a formality, meant to teach the children manners.

Su Bing’s lips were still pursed as he said to Gu Zi, “I found this letter earlier. I didn’t know there was another woman bothering Dad. But Mom, Dad definitely doesn’t like her. You have to trust Dad.”

Su Bing was very sensible. Seeing Hu Jie’s name on the envelope, he had questioned Hu Bing and quickly understood the situation. He wouldn’t show any kindness to Hu Bing. No one was going to ruin his parents’ relationship.

Su Li also nodded firmly, grabbing Gu Zi’s hand and saying earnestly, “We won’t let Dad find another woman either. Dad can only be with Mom, and have babies with mom. If Dad pays attention to that woman, we won’t recognize him as our dad anymore. My brother and I will earn money to support you and our sister.”

After saying this, Su Li let go of Gu Zi’s hand and ran towards the kitchen. He needed to emphasize this point to his father.

Upon hearing Su Li’s words, Gu Zi didn’t even have time to blush. Who was talking about having babies?!

She rubbed her forehead, changing her mood, and said to Hu Bing, “My children are usually very polite. However, regarding the incident just now, I hope you can understand.”

Hu Bing quickly gathered the letters on the table, looking extremely embarrassed, “Sister-in-law, I was the one who overstepped today! I didn’t keep the letter properly, and Su Bing found it. He asked me about it, and I said a few words. It’s all my fault.”

He felt that he had lost face and didn’t have the nerve to stay for dinner. But since he had already agreed to, it would be awkward to leave now.

Seeing the children’s reactions, he began to wonder. If Gu Zi had used some trick to temporarily bewitch Su Shen, what about these two children?

Seeing how they defended this woman, it was clear that she treated the three children well.

If his cousin had married Su Shen, with her arrogant nature, she probably wouldn’t have been able to accept the existence of these three children, let alone treat them well. Perhaps, he shouldn’t have brought the letter, or even taken it out.

In essence, he should have respected Su Shen’s wife from the beginning. Unbeknownst to him, his opinion of Gu Zi had already changed.

Gu Zi picked up Su Le, speaking in a calm voice, “You can have some tea. Dinner will be ready soon. Regardless of what happened, we still need to eat.”

After saying this, she went to prepare the milk powder. Su Bing followed her to help, no longer staying in the living room. She felt that under the current circumstances, it was best to leave Hu Bing alone. There was tea and snacks on the table, and the television was on. It wasn’t as if they were neglecting him.

After all, who would appreciate someone trying to help their cousin steal someone else’s husband? It was simply outrageous!
