BXBX NOVEL Chapter 710: Not Enough
Su Shen cradled her face, studying her features with a gaze filled with gratitude and profound love for his wife. He was at a loss for words, unable to express the depth of his affection and respect for her. He felt an urge to buy her more jewelry, believing she didn’t have enough. He suggested, “Let’s visit the jewelry store later and pick out a piece of gold jewelry for Lin Hun’s wife.”
Indeed, Lin Hun’s wedding was fast approaching. Gu Zi had planned to select a piece of gold jewelry in the next few days, so Su Shen’s suggestion was timely. However, she was somewhat surprised. When had Su Shen started showing interest in such matters? “Won’t it interfere with your work?” she asked.
Su Shen replied, “I’ve almost finished dealing with the documents. Even if we have to slaughter pigs, that won’t start until the evening. I should have time to accompany you on a shopping trip.”
Gu Zi nodded, rose from his lap, and stood up straight. “Let’s go then. It’s been a while since I’ve had a good shopping spree. This is a good excuse to indulge myself while picking out a wedding gift.”
In the dining hall, everyone had gathered together. Jin Long had distributed the snacks brought by the boss’s wife.
Although they were all men and not particularly interested in snacks, they all enthusiastically partook, not wanting to offend the boss’s wife. Besides, they had heard that despite her beauty, the boss’s wife was also an excellent cook.
While they didn’t dare to hope that the boss would allow his wife to cook a meal for everyone, having the chance to taste her homemade snacks was a blessing. Even if they didn’t usually enjoy snacks, they had to try them.
“Look at this, the boss’s wife indeed has a pair of skillful hands. Look at these snacks, they’re so beautifully shaped. My wife can’t make such delicate things. But I still love my rough wife. There’s something good about rough women.”
“Li Da, you’re really funny. You’re bragging about your wife while we’re talking about snacks. Do you think we singles haven’t suffered enough today? Just shut up and eat.”
“Wow! This is simply too delicious. This is the first time I’ve tasted such delicious buns. Stop talking and eat quickly. These char siu bao are amazing!”
The pig-slaughtering man was simple and crude. He didn’t know any extra adjectives, just kept saying how delicious it was. He quickly stuffed the two char siu bao and two sweet white dumplings he had received into his mouth, eating as fast as a hungry wolf devouring meat.
Someone looked at his slightly comical appearance and teased him without any malice, “I say, you’re eating so fast. Have you not eaten for several days? This is not how you flatter someone! I know you. You don’t like these kinds of snacks and buns. It would be strange if you found them delicious.”
As he spoke, he casually tore the plump char siu bao in his hand in half and stuffed one half into his mouth. The bun was soft and delicious, as if he had stuffed a cloud into his mouth. The sweet taste of the dough filled his entire mouth. After a few chews, the salty and slightly sweet char siu meat melted in his mouth, stimulating his taste buds. He wanted to immediately stuff the other half of the bun into his mouth.
And that’s exactly what he did, exclaiming sincerely, “My God, if I didn’t know this was brought by the boss’s wife, I would have thought someone bought it from a big restaurant. This taste, it must be made by a master chef.”
More and more praises echoed in the crowd. Suddenly, a voice rose above all the compliments, clearly echoing in the dining hall, “I see the boss’s wife! The boss and his wife are coming out. Our boss’s wife is as beautiful as a fairy. I’ve never seen such a beautiful person in my life!”
Upon hearing this news, everyone immediately rushed towards the office. The man who had just claimed to see the boss’s wife also hurriedly followed, his face anxious. When they arrived at the office, it was already empty. Everyone turned back to look at the man who had claimed to see the boss’s wife, “Did you give us false information?”
The man was very aggrieved, “Who gave false information? I really saw the boss and his wife come out just now. You all ran too fast and didn’t let me finish. The boss just took his wife out in a small car. They probably went to the city…”
They were at the edge of Dongcheng City, it was quite far to the city. It would take more than forty minutes by car. Gu Zi fell asleep for a while on the way. When she woke up again, the car had already stopped under the department store building. She noticed that Su Shen’s face looked a bit tired, “Are you feeling a bit exhausted?”
