“Little Zi, you have a good eye for choosing Little Su. You’ll have a great life ahead with him, you know?” A middle-aged female leader patted Little Zi’s back, speaking in a manner befitting an elder.
Although Gu Zi didn’t know the relationship between her and Su Shen, seeing how amiable the woman was toward her, she must be someone who cared about Su Shen.
Gu Zi nodded obediently and softly replied, “I will always remember your words. I also think Su Shen is an exceptionally good man.”
As these words left her lips, a smile that Su Shen couldn’t conceal appeared on his face as he gazed affectionately at Gu Zi.
Feeling the heat of his intense gaze, Gu Zi felt shy, bowing her head, too bashful to meet Su Shen’s eyes.
When the leaders saw this scene, they all laughed and began to tease the two of them.
“Well, it’s the first time I’ve seen Little Su like this. Even an iron-blooded man can show tenderness. Back in the day, when he was in the army, a female soldier wanted to date him. He put on a stern face and made her squad leader punish her by copying the military rules twenty times.”
In recent years, influenced by liberal ideologies, a wave of free love had quietly emerged among the younger generation. The societal concept of relationships had become more open and liberal, but long before that, seeds of free love had sprouted in various corners.
Su Shen, known as the best-looking man in the army, was naturally admired by female soldiers. Even a highly respected senior officer had intentions to arrange his marriage, but he declined.
Later, when the higher-ups in the military wanted to promote him to a central position, he turned down all offers until he resolutely retired for unknown reasons…
The female leader said, “Gu Zi, you’re so pretty and kind. It’s no wonder Little Su fell in love. Let’s not bring up those ancient stories.”
Su Shen wasn’t one to talk much, especially considering his wife was present. He didn’t want to bring up past relationship histories.
The female leader felt that these rough men were really clueless. She was afraid that Gu Zi would mind it if she heard of Su Shen’s past.
However, Gu Zi’s smile deepened. The way Su Shen handled the matter with the female soldier showed his maturity and capability.
The male leader said, “Little Zi isn’t that petty. You’re the only one who thinks too much, aren’t you, Little Su?”
Saying this, the middle-aged man and Su Shen linked arms, no longer exhibiting their earlier imposing demeanor.
Su Shen, standing among the leaders, exuded a remarkable temperament—a tall and straight figure, a handsome face, thick black eyebrows, a prominent nose, tightly pursed lips—all radiating nObility and elegance.
He pulled away from the male leader, adjusted his clothes, displaying a sense of aloofness that managed to annoy without being anger-inducing.
Clearly, Su Shen didn’t want to dwell on the past; he was afraid of scaring away his young wife.
The male leader, stroking his Mediterranean hairstyle, exclaimed, “You’re still so cold, my boy. It’s okay. Today, us old fellows can help you out, Su Shen. It’s been quite a few years since we got to show off in front of old acquaintances.”
At that moment, a junior officer emerged holding two household registers, respectfully handing them to Gu Zi. “Mrs. Su, everything has been handled properly. Your household register has been transferred to the Lin family, and Lin Miao’s has been transferred to the Gu family.”
Gu Zits face lit up with joy, expressing her gratitude to the person. Finally, everything was settled.
At the same time, the term “Mrs. Sul‘ brought about a strange and pleasant feeling within her heart. Perhaps this was the feeling of having an accomplished man as her husband?
Anyway, even after leaving the Public Security Bureau, Gu Zi felt a sweetness in her heart because of that “Mrs. Su.”
Su Shen said to her, “The Civil Affairs Bureau’s Marriage Department is just behind. Shall we go?”
Glancing at Su Shen, Gu Zi’s eyes curved into a crescent shape, and she nodded firmly.
In the distant car, Gong Zhan found the affectionate display of the two very annoying. His furrowed brows could probably crush a fly.
In a cold voice, he said, “I wondered why the Gu family called to thank me before I had managed to discuss about this matter. Turns out these two used the Gong family’s name to get things done!”
Earlier, Gu Shan had called him to express gratitude, saying the matter was resolved with a bit of misunderstanding and asking if he could help Aunt Wang get her position back.
Now seeing this scene, Gong Zhan felt Gu Zi was insulting him. How could he be in the mood to deal with Aunt Wang’s job change?
“Drive!” he said to Uncle Yang. With that, he closed the car curtains.
Uncle Yang was puzzled. Since the two were no longer engaged and Miss Gu hadn’t come to pester him, why was Young Master becoming increasingly irritable?
“Young Master, are you really not going in?” he asked helplessly. “You promised the Gu family.. Why don’t you go in and say a word or two?”
