Yes, Huang Fei had said this more than once—she and Xu Sheng’s father could have another child. That was why Xu Sheng had always followed her orders, striving to be the genius everyone expected him to be.
He never dared to question his mother’s actions until he saw how Su Li’s mother treated her children. It became clear to him that his mother’s behavior was not how things should be.
He wanted to argue, to try and bring about a semblance of normalcy in their household, but every time he tentatively broached the subject, he was met with another slap and another warning about a potential sibling.
With that, he realized he could no longer defy her; perhaps his only mission was to obey. “I’m sorry, Mom,” he murmured.
Huang Fei nodded curtly. “Focus on your studies. And don’t disturb us again. If you don’t finish this set of problems tonight, you can forget about sleeping.”
With that, she left the room without so much as a glance back at him. It wasn’t until she was gone that Xu Sheng lowered his hand from his face, revealing the distinct marks of her fingers on his skin.
In that moment, he bit his lip, fighting back the tears that threatened to spill.
As the Dragon Boat Festival approached, a suffocating tension filled the air. In the nights leading up to it, Gu Zi had been boiling herbal concoctions to mix into the family’s bathwater, aiming to drive away any lingering toxins and keep the pests at bay.
Usually, the two brothers would use a large wooden tub in the downstairs bathroom for their herbal baths. Gu Zi preferred to wait until they were done and had settled in for the night before she indulged in her own bath. After ensuring Lele was asleep, she would finally treat herself to a tranquil soak, relishing the calm before bedtime.
She didn’t linger in the tub for too long, about twenty minutes at most, before emerging. Once she dried her hair and climbed into bed, sleep came quickly and easily, enveloping her in its comforting embrace.
She didn’t dwell on why her husband hadn’t returned yet; he had promised he would come back, and she believed in his word.
As expected, around midnight, Su Shen drove back home, causing Gu Zi to stir from her slumber half an hour later.
Su Shen was gentle this time, engaging in a passionate kiss that lasted nearly ten minutes, effectively rousing Gu Zi from her slumber.
As her eyes fluttered open to the sight of the handsome man before her, her annoyance melted away, and she instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck, seeking out his lips for another kiss. Their bodies pressed closely together, their temperatures rising, yet they never crossed that final threshold.
Gu Zi found herself surprisingly enamored with the sensation of being tantalized by desire. The sweet ache between her legs intensified as his warmth brushed against her, causing her to feel a delicious urgency.
When their kisses grew more fervent, she struggled to catch her breath, prompting Su Shen to pull away momentarily. Playfully, she pushed him away and murmured, “Go take a shower.”
However, the man loomed over her like a mountain, and she could hardly budge him. He extended his hand toward her, letting her catch a whiff of his shower gel—an unmistakable scent that lingered in their home. “I showered downstairs before coming up,” he said softly.
Just as Gu Zi opened her mouth to tease him, calling him an old lecher, he silenced her with another kiss. He pressed her back down and continued his exploration, planting kisses along her jaw, neck, and collarbone. His hands roamed over her ample breasts, teasing her hardened nipples until they glistened from his attention.
A soft moan escaped Gu Zi’s lips as her legs instinctively parted, and her hands traced along his back, feeling the muscles beneath. Unable to resist, her hips instinctively moved to align with his.
Su Shen sensed her silent plea, and with a gentle thrust, he sank into her warm depths. She was more than ready for him, and as he filled her completely, a satisfied sigh slipped from her mouth. The pent-up desire that had been building inside him over these past few days finally burst forth, bringing them into a realm of ecstasy.
On the morning of the Dragon Boat Festival, the family gathered for breakfast, featuring a spread focused on zongzi.
They were enjoying a leisurely time in the yard, when suddenly, the delivery truck from the slaughterhouse pulled up. The smiling delivery person hopped out, bringing a bag filled with top-quality beef and brisket, freshly prepared and ready to go. He handed the goods to Su Shen before climbing back into the truck, still beaming.
This wasn’t just a coincidence; he felt fortunate to be working at the slaughterhouse. Su Shen’s approach to employee benefits was straightforward and generous—he had purchased ten cows for the holiday, ensuring that every worker received an ample share. It was a far better treat than mere zongzi, leaving everyone in high spirits. Their perks rivaled those of many who were far better off!
Su Shen simply reminded them to set aside some for his family, particularly because his wife adored beef brisket. And of course, they gladly remembered.
