Chapter 709: Extraordinary Meaning
Gu Zi was planning to make amends. She leaned in, whispering softly into his ear, “Alright, but we need to change positions to make me more comfortable.”
Su Shen yielded to her, allowing her to manipulate their bodies. After a while, Gu Zi took the initiative to straddle him. She took hold of his impressive manhood, aligning herself with him. After a careful adjustment, she gently lowered herself onto him.
Looking at him with dewy eyes, she said, “Let me take the lead today, my love. I’ve missed you these past few days.”
Su Shen gripped her waist. Her confession of longing for him made him feel as if his heart and soul were being drawn towards her.
Once she had fully enveloped him, a low, restrained moan escaped from Su Shen’s throat. Unable to control himself, he let out a sound that made Gu Zi’s heart flutter. Su Shen became even more uninhibited, and together, they experienced an unprecedented climax…
Afterwards, Gu Zi stayed with Su Shen as he slept. It was strange; she had slept well the night before, but there was something particularly sweet about sleeping in a man’s arms.
She woke up after more than an hour and took a shower in the private bathroom of the rest area. The bathroom was small but clean. In the laundry basket, she found some of Su Shen’s dirty clothes.
She picked up a grey vest and noticed a dark stain at the hem. She sniffed it and recognized the smell of pig’s blood. The realization that Su Shen had spent the previous night slaughtering pigs, yet still had such energy, left her stunned and her heart racing.
When Gu Zi emerged, Su Shen was already dressed in a black shirt and trousers, his hair neatly combed. He looked every bit the respectable gentleman.
Seeing Gu Zi come out of the rest area, he unconsciously ran his fingers through his hair. Gu Zi couldn’t help but laugh at the sight. The older man’s vanity was as conspicuous as a peacock’s display.
Gu Zi walked over, her gaze falling on a document on the table. “I was planning to make you some snacks to fill your stomach, but it seems you’re already getting back to work?”
Su Shen pulled her onto his lap, patiently explaining, “I’ll eat the snacks. There’s something I wanted to discuss with you, and your timing is perfect.
“You’re well-read, so I need your advice. Initially, I just wanted to buy the land where the slaughterhouse is located. But recently, the landowners nearby have been causing trouble.”
Gu Zi looked at the text on the document and asked, “They want you to buy the surrounding land as well, right?”
Su Shen nodded. “Exactly. I’ve spoken with them, and that’s what they want. I don’t mind buying it; the land here is cheap, and buying it all at once would save a lot of trouble later.
“But unexpectedly, after the contract for the unified purchase of the land was drafted, they raised the price. They claim that our slaughterhouse has a significant impact on the environment, making it difficult to sell the surrounding land in the future. They insist that we not only buy the land but also pay three times the original price to compensate for their losses.”
Before Su Shen could finish, Gu Zi had already guessed the situation. It was human nature to take advantage of a situation when possible.
Gu Zi knew the future value of this land. In the later stages of the book, the land prices in this area on the edge of the city would skyrocket. Even if Su Shen bought the land at ten times the current price, he wouldn’t lose out.
But the future was the future. At present, the area was barren, and apart from the land for the pig farm, the surrounding land had no value. Buying it at three times the original price was unacceptable. She wouldn’t let Su Shen be the one to bear this burden.
“Purchasing this large plot of land is a good idea, and the contract should be signed. However, I think we can negotiate the price down by ten percent before finalizing the deal. What do you think?”
A smile tugged at the corners of Su Shen’s mouth as he listened. He felt a pang of guilt. “Keeping you at home to cook and take care of the children is a waste of your talents. With your insight, you should be shining in a broad professional field.”
Gu Zi cupped his handsome face, studying it. “Whether I choose to explore the vast world or to maintain the warmth of a home, it’s my decision.
“Su Shen, so far, I have no regrets about my choices. And how do you know that cooking and taking care of children at home doesn’t hold extraordinary significance for me?”
