Back to the Past: The Rise of the False Heiress Marrying the True Tycoon

Chapter 16: Awkward

Su Bing immediately glared at Gu Zi with a look of resentment. This woman was no different from the others, preparing all these delicious dishes but not allowing his little brother to eat. She was deliberately bullying him!

Su Bing clenched his fists tightly, but he didn't move closer immediately.

"If you want to eat, wash your hands. Also, remember to use chopsticks while eating, not your hands," Gu Zi gently reminded Su Li, her voice soft.

When Su Bing heard Gu Zi say that, he was momentarily stunned. Before he could react, his younger brother had already washed his hands and sat down at the table, directly picking up a piece of meat and putting it in his bowl, then began eating.

As he savored the aroma of the braised pork, tears welled up in his eyes. Uncontrollable drops of tears fell down.

He quickly wiped away the tears and swallowed the mouthwatering braised pork, which was the most delicious thing he had ever tasted.

He tightly pursed his lips, looking at Su Bing beside him, his voice choked, "Brother, let's eat!"

Su Bing nodded, washed his hands, and then sat down next to Su Li. He tentatively picked up a piece of meat and placed it in his bowl. Seeing that Gu Zi was still leisurely eating, he felt a bit relieved.

Gu Zi typically didn't eat much, and once she had finished her meal and ensured Su Le had eaten, she carried Su Le away. She knew that if she remained at the table, the two brothers might keep staring at her while they ate.

Gu Zi walked out of the dining room and said to the two brothers who were eating, "Remember to wash the dishes. By the way, there are meat buns in the kitchen fridge that I prepared for you guys for breakfast tomorrow. If I don't wake up early tomorrow, you guys can heat up the buns yourselves and eat them!"

After saying that, she brought Lele upstairs.

After Gu Zi left the dining room, only the two brothers were left.

The two brothers devoured the food on the table.

Su Li's eyes sparkled as he said happily, "Brother, her cooking is delicious!"

Su Bing, who had been silently eating, didn't respond. He got up and started clearing the dishes.

Gu Zi returned to her room and let Su Lele play on the bed while she sat at the table to read.

Time passed slowly, and she couldn't help but yawn. She was just about to change into her pajamas and go to sleep.

Just as she took out her silk nightgown, removed her top, and was about to change into her nightgown, the door suddenly opened.

"Ah!" Gu Zi's face turned red instantly. She quickly covered her body and moved away from the door.

The person outside quickly retreated and closed the door behind them.

Gu Zi, still flustered, hurriedly put on her nightgown.

"I'm sorry." A man's low and slow voice came from outside the door. It sounded like he had been drinking.

Gu Zi, feeling embarrassed, quickly finished putting on her nightgown. She had been single all her life in her previous life, and she didn't expect to encounter such an awkward situation on her first day in this world.

She knew very well that the man did not do it on purpose, but she still felt a little uncomfortable.

Then she thought about how, in the modern world, people would wear bikinis on the beach.

Her nightgown reached down to her ankles. Thinking that the man was still outside, she had something to discuss with him, so she stepped to the door.

She took a deep breath and opened the door.

As soon as she stepped out, she met the man's deep eyes with a complicated expression. She felt as if she was in the deep sea and could not breathe. She could only stand there in a daze.

This man was indeed terrifying, just as described in the book. He was always alone, and no one could approach him, not even those three children.

"I'm sorry."

Upon hearing his words, Gu Zi felt a bit of the pressure lift from her shoulders.

"I just forgot that you were here." Su Shen stood up straight, his sharp eyes filled with apology.

He attended a social gathering today and drank a lot. His head was dizzy, and he had forgotten that there was someone new in the house. Subconsciously, he had returned to his room and was met with a surprise.

This made him sober up instantly, and he also recalled the conversation with Gu Zi in the afternoon.

He had originally thought that Gu Zi, a city woman, would leave soon. He had not expected to offend her on the very first day.

Thinking about the embarrassing incident just now, Gu Zi's face turned even redder. She turned her head to the side, pretending to be calm, and said, "No problem."

Su Shen, hearing this, simply responded with a low "Hmm" and was thinking about leaving for another room to sleep.

Gu Zi, noticing the smell of alcohol on Su Shen's body, was surprised that there was no trace of sweat odor. She then thought that he might not have eaten much earlier. She asked, "Are you hungry? Should I make you a bowl of noodles?"
