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

Generation Gap

Su Shen’s feet seemed to be rooted to the spot; he couldn’t move. His gaze was fixed on the young woman in front of him.

The young woman was wearing a pale yellow nightgown. He didn’t know what material it was made of, but it emitted a soft glow under the light, making her look even more gentle.

Her previously tied-up hair now cascaded down her back, accentuating her fair skin. Her skin was especially delicate, with no visible pores.

She raised her hand to tuck some stray strands of hair behind her ear. Her hands were long and delicate, not the hands of someone accustomed to hard work.

A pampered young girl like her volunteered to marry him?

Su Shen still couldn’t help but think that this young girl had made a mistake in her decision. His own circumstances were far from ideal.

He not only had to think about raising his sister’s three children but also wanted to avoid having children himself. In this society, every woman was eager to have children.

With his stringent conditions, it was unlikely that anyone would accept him.

Su Shen replied succinctly, “I’ve already eaten.”

“Oh,” Gu Zi responded awkwardly. It seemed that they were from completely different worlds, and she didn’t know what to talk about. She stood there feeling uncomfortable.

Su Shen’s gaze remained fixed on her face, and he could sense her unease.contemporary romance

She looked innocent and gullible, but he was already used to seeing all kinds of people in his life, and they were not from the same world after all.

Perhaps this was the generation gap between them.

Su Shen’s gaze remained on Gu Zi’s face as he continued, “Although I don’t know why you changed your mind, you can stay here for a week to see if you can adapt. If you find it unacceptable, you can leave.

“And if you feel… if you feel that we are a good match, then we can get married.”

Su Shen thought back to accidentally entering her room earlier, feeling slightly embarrassed. He reassured her, “Don’t worry. I’m busy with the pig farm, and I rarely come home.”

He had a resting area in the office at the pig farm, which allowed him to stay overnight.

He had only come back every day to check on the three children.

Gu Zi thought about the situation for a moment and replied, “It’s fine, really. There are plenty of rooms in the house, and there’s enough space for me.

“Besides, we need to get to know each other better to see if we’re the right fit.”

Although he had accidentally seen her changing clothes earlier, she wasn’t from this era, and she didn’t want to force him into taking responsibility for it.

Su Shen nodded in agreement. “Alright.”

With that, he was about to leave, but he heard Gu Zi ask, “Does Aunt Chu usually take good care of children in general?”

Su Shen’s expression froze, and a trace of confusion flashed across his eyes. However, he still nodded and asked, “Why do you ask?”

“Just curious. You should go rest now. Good night.” Gu Zi smiled and waved at Su Shen.

After saying that, Gu Zi entered her room.

Su Shen stood there, deep in thought about what Gu Zi had just said.

Sunlight filtered through the curtains as Gu Zi slowly opened her eyes. She looked at the peacefully sleeping Su Lele beside her. The little girl looked adorable when she was asleep.

Gu Zi got up, washed her face, and changed into fresh clothes. She then opened the curtains and the windows.

The room was filled with the scent of fresh grass, and the air was crisp and invigorating. Gu Zi took in a deep breath, enjoying the sensation.

She made her way downstairs. The backpacks that had been placed on the living room couch were now gone, indicating that the two boys had already gone to school.

Yesterday, when she had gone to the cooperative store, she had inquired about the situation in the town.

There were three villages in this town. The village she was in was the largest in the town, but there was only one school in the entire town.

Their home was about five kilometers away from the school, which meant it would take them over an hour to walk there.

In these times, it wasn’t easy for children to go to school.

The living room was quite dark, so Gu Zi opened all the curtains to let the sunlight in. The previously cold room instantly warmed up.

However, she noticed that the curtains were quite dusty, likely because nobody had cleaned them in a long time.

She heated a bun for breakfast and rolled up her sleeves, ready to start cleaning.

She had already cleaned her room yesterday, so she wanted to clean the rooms on the second floor today.

She entered Su Bing’s room, which was unlocked. The room was dark, with black curtains blocking out all the light.

Gu Zi opened the curtains and then the windows.

Su Bing’s room was neatly arranged, everything in its proper place.
