As soon as Su Li finished speaking, there was a stir outside the door. A steady set of footsteps followed, and a tall man entered the room, bringing with him a chill that seemed to permeate the air. His face was stern, but softened slightly as his gaze met Gu Zi’s. He spoke in a reproving tone, “Why are you always thinking about New Year’s money? When you go to your uncle and aunt’s for the New Year, you should be thinking about how to help them, not just about what you can get. Understand?”

Su Li bit his lower lip and nodded obediently, “Of course, my brother and I will not only help our uncle and aunt, but we will also spend time with our grandparents. Don’t worry, mom and dad, we will behave ourselves!”

As he spoke, he gave his older brother, Su Bing, a wink, as if to take credit for his good behavior. “See, brother, I said we would behave, and I included you too!” Su Bing was taken aback by his wink, feeling a bit awkward, but he still cooperated with his younger brother’s antics, responding, “Yes, dad, we know what to do.”

Gu Zi watched her sensible sons with a sense of relief. She approached Su Shen, naturally taking his hand. “My sister-in-law told me that they invited us to spend the New Year with them because they want to spend more time with me since I just returned this year. They think it would be lively for us all to have New Year’s Eve dinner together. What do you think?”

She knew that her husband was busy with work, but after all, he was the boss. The word ‘boss’ implied that he didn’t have to do everything himself. Otherwise, what was the point of having employees?

The main role of a boss was to manage well, lead the team effectively, and learn to delegate. That way, he wouldn’t be tied down, working himself to death like a beast of burden.

Su Shen looked into her beautiful eyes, understanding her meaning. She probably wanted to spend the New Year with the Lin family.

He understood completely. This was Gu Zi’s first New Year since returning to the Lin family. Because she had married him as soon as she returned, she hadn’t spent much time with her family. Her desire to spend the New Year with her family was perfectly normal, and he had no reason to refuse.

But Su Shen wouldn’t have refused anyway. For him, it didn’t matter where they spent the New Year. In previous years, he had always spent it at home with the children. His business was just starting, and he was very busy. He also had to handle secret tasks, sometimes even having to make do with a rushed New Year’s Eve dinner. So, the Su family didn’t have much of a festive atmosphere.

Going back a few more years, he felt even less of the New Year spirit. At that time, he was still in the army. During the New Year, he would either participate in the army’s gala, watching performances with a bunch of men, or he would receive sudden orders for military drills.

The people in the army could be brothers, comrades, but they were not family. No matter how many people were together for the New Year, they couldn’t create much of a festive atmosphere. But he didn’t care much about whether there was a festive atmosphere or not.

Now that he had Gu Zi by his side, his mindset had changed somewhat. He felt that as long as Gu Zi was with him, it was the best New Year, it was festive. So, it didn’t matter where they were.

He cradled the back of her head, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear, and responded without hesitation, “I think it’s a great idea. I will arrange everything at the factory in advance, and this year, I will spend the New Year with you.”

Gu Zi was very satisfied with his answer and began to plan, “Then let’s go there a day or two in advance. Before we go, we can go shopping in the city, buy some gifts, and bring some New Year’s goods. We will be staying for a few days, so we should each bring a couple of changes of clothes…”

Su Shen listened to Gu Zi’s words in silence. Although he didn’t show any emotion, Gu Zi could still see the unhappiness in his eyes. Gu Zi didn’t say anything more. When they went upstairs to their room later that night, she jokingly brought it up, “You don’t seem very happy. Is it because my pizza-making skills have regressed?”

Su Shen followed her into the room. Today, their eldest and second child had volunteered to take care of their sister, so Su Le was not there. It was just the two of them, and the man’s hormones were more freely released.

He looked at her slender waist, reached out to hook it, and pulled her back. As the door closed, he pinned the woman who had just been in front of him against the door.

He leaned in, his lips almost touching hers. At this moment, their breaths were intertwined, and the air between them quickly heated up. “This afternoon, I went to the neighboring county. Rich Pig Farm has gone bankrupt.”

As for why the Rich Pig Farm had gone bankrupt, Su Shen didn’t say. But Gu Zi, combining her previous understanding, could guess that the fuse for Rich’s bankruptcy was definitely the power outage in the three villages last time.
