Chapter 1214: I Forgive You

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

By this point, Su Jing had said enough that someone simply had to chime in—and of course, Su Li was the first to bounce over to her side. It wasn’t that he hadn’t noticed his aunt earlier; he’d just been so overwhelmed with joy at seeing his mother that everything else had momentarily faded into the background.

"Auntie, what did you bring us? What delicious snacks and fun toys?" he asked with that irrepressible sparkle in his eyes.

Su Jing, with the flair of a favorite aunt returning from a long voyage, began unveiling her treasures. "Of course I brought goodies from all over—specially picked just for you. Here, try this rice candy—it’s fragrant, sweet, and absolutely divine."

She proceeded to hand out treats and little gifts. Gu Zi took a few polite bites, and they were indeed quite good—but her current aversion to sweets meant she only nibbled on two pieces before tossing the rest to Su Shen to finish.

He hadn’t said much since she arrived. Whether it was surprise or a quiet irritation over her sudden return, she couldn’t quite tell.

Being in Guangcheng without Su Shen had made her keenly aware of all the small inconveniences of daily life. Like when she had leftovers—there was no one to finish them for her. When he was around, everything just felt easier. More comfortable. Perhaps that was what marriage was all about—not the grand gestures, but the small, shared moments. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

If he was sulking, she wasn’t worried. Worst case? She’d coax him into forgiveness when no one was looking.

Letting Su Jing continue entertaining the kids, Gu Zi slipped into the kitchen, tugging Su Shen behind her like she was about to present a state secret. "Look at what I brought back," she said, her eyes twinkling. "Wild mushrooms and dried bamboo shoots—Mum helped me get them. Please, make sure to put them away properly."

She hadn’t brought much else—not even clothes—but these two culinary treasures were non-negotiable. They were gourmet gold in her eyes: earthy, umami-rich, and nearly impossible to find up north. Worth more than diamonds, really.

Su Shen, who knew exactly how sacred these items were to her, silently grabbed two empty ceramic jars and began carefully storing the mushrooms and shoots. Then he looked at her, gently urging, "You shouldn’t be in the kitchen—go rest. I’ll handle lunch."

As he spoke, he placed a protective arm around her waist and pressed a soft kiss to her forehead. One kiss turned into another—this time on the tip of her nose, and then her lips. She flushed a rosy red and quickly slipped out, telling herself it was time to wash off the travel dust and change into something fresh.

By the time she emerged from the room, she looked like her elegant self again—fragrant, glowing, effortlessly put-together. She hadn’t even reached the dining room yet when the rich, savory aroma of mushroom soup hit her senses like a warm hug.

She knew that scent. It was her favorite—tender pork and mushrooms, slow-simmered into a velvet broth.
