Regarding the matter of awakening lightning abilities after transformation

"Mm." Li Shantong nodded with a smile and pointed to the dining table. "Two of these six dishes were made by Xiao Gu. I think they taste pretty good, almost as good as a head chef's."

Mapo tofu, sweet and sour pork ribs, shiitake mushrooms and bok choy, braised eggplant, shredded pork with garlic sauce, and a bowl of tomato and egg soup.

The servants usually prepared dinner, and Su Changqing and Su Yuanjun hadn't tasted Li Shantong's cooking in a long time, so they couldn't tell the difference for a moment.

“Wanxi should know.”

Li Shantong turned the conversation to Su Wanxi, her tone exceptionally kind.

Feeling all eyes on her, Su Wanxi gracefully swallowed her food, wiped her mouth with a napkin, and said softly, "If I'm not mistaken..."

Sweet and sour pork ribs and shredded pork with garlic sauce.

Gu Cheng had made these two dishes the first time she invited Su Wanxi to dinner, and the latter was extremely familiar with them.

Feeling someone bump into her with their leg, Su Wanxi turned her head and met the excited brown eyes.

She was right.

"Yes, Wanxi is right." Li Shantong glanced approvingly at Su Wanxi and Gu Cheng, her expression softening further.

They have such a good relationship.

"Chengzi knows I like sweet things, so she makes a lot of these kinds of dishes. You can tell just by tasting them." Su Wanxi lowered her head and took a sip of soup, explaining in a calm tone. With just a few words, she perfectly embodied the meaning of showing affection.

Feeling thoroughly humiliated, Su Changqing frowned and said, "Eating so many sweets isn't good."

Su Wanxi wanted to answer "I do," but then suddenly felt that it would be too childish. The man might just be trying to be kind rather than deliberately blaming Gu Cheng, so there was no need to argue with him.

Scooping up a spoonful of soup, Su Wanxi saw the girl eating her meal in small bites, her eyes filled with undeniable tenderness and affection.

Seeing this, Su Yuanjun felt quite uncomfortable. Compared to Su Changqing, he didn't even have a suitable identity or reason to speak.

Besides, apart from Su Wanxi, it seems that he ate the most ribs at the table.

Chapter 312, Section 318: My Wife Spoils Me So Much

After dinner, Gu Cheng wanted to do the dishes, but Li Shantong told her that the dishes had been handed over to the housekeeper to wash and that she should rest.

The girl nodded, and seeing that there was indeed nothing to do, she felt at ease keeping Su Wanxi company while she petted the cat in the living room.

After finishing his meal, Su Changqing did not go straight back to his study. Instead, he sat on the sofa and watched the news, a rare occurrence for him. He would glance at Gu Cheng from time to time, and their eyes would occasionally meet before they would quickly look away.

At 8 p.m., Su Wanxi took the initiative to suggest leaving with Gu Cheng. Li Shantong tried to persuade them to stay, but seeing that her son and husband were unmoved, she stopped talking after a while.

Leaving the mansion, the evening breeze made her skirt flutter gently. Su Wanxi was in charge of driving, while Gu Cheng sat in the passenger seat, rubbing her temples and watching the scenery outside the window rush past. She simply closed her eyes to rest.

The afternoon spent at the Su family's old house was equivalent to three or four days of energy for Gu Cheng. When she returned to her apartment, she immediately collapsed onto the sofa, like a fish washed ashore, motionless.

"Is it really that tiring?"

Su Wanxi bent down to arrange the shoes, and then put the remaining small bag of mangoes into the refrigerator.

"Hmm~" Gu Cheng mumbled softly, symbolically covering her eyes with her right hand, and then rubbing her head against the sofa cushion. "I've never been this tired even when I carried plates for ten hours straight before."

Not only the body, but also the mind must be constantly on edge.

Su Wanxi knew that his fiancée had a hard time, so he took the initiative to sit next to the girl and gently massaged her shoulders with his hands.

"I feel like you're a completely different person this afternoon."

Unlike the usual innocent girl who was easily bullied and spoke softly and gently, today Gu Cheng was like a knight-errant who was willing to sacrifice herself. She was able to preserve her self-respect under Su Changqing's repeated harassment, while also seizing the opportunity to argue her case.

The girl's strength even made Su Wanxi feel dazzled.

Sensing the hidden praise in her lover's words, Gu Cheng's ears turned slightly red. She turned her face away shyly and replied softly, "I just didn't want your father to think that his future son-in-law was timid and unfit for a respectable position."

More importantly, it was because he didn't want to embarrass Su Wanxi.

Gu Cheng felt a gentle, rhythmic kneading sensation on her shoulders, and she straightened her legs, unconsciously letting out soft moans.

"How's the massage rhythm going?" Su Wanxi asked her.

“It’s very comfortable, but you can go a little faster,” Gu Cheng replied.

Upon hearing this, Su Wanxi quickened her pace, but after a while, she heard the girl protest, "Hmm...slow down a bit, please."

Her voice was soft and sweet, like it was soaking in sugar water. Su Wanxi moved her wrists, stood up and came behind Gu Cheng, sitting with her legs apart and her buttocks up, so that it would be easier for her to massage her shoulders and back.

With something familiar pressing down on her back, Gu Cheng obediently lay there without struggling. Because of the position, Su Wanxi was very close to her, and she could feel the silky smooth fabric against her legs and hear the woman's sweet breath, as delicate as an orchid, on her earlobe.

As the moonlight streamed through the curtains and all was quiet, it wouldn't be unreasonable to whisper sweet nothings in such an atmosphere.

"Su Wanwan~"

"Ok?"

Gu Cheng rested her chin on her arm and said softly, "How come you're so good at spoiling people?"

From childhood to adulthood, Qin Jin was always the one being taken care of by her. There were many children in the orphanage, and Director Xu was old and had limited energy, so it was impossible for her to focus on only one person at all times. Su Wanxi was the only one who doted on her like this.

As Su Wanxi gazed at the girl's smooth, jade-like neck and her long, soft, flaxen-brown hair, her heart softened even more.

"Does pampering someone require talent?" she asked.

Gu Cheng answered without hesitation, "Of course we need to." She and Su Wanxi had watched many romantic movies, and they knew that pampering someone without considering their feelings would only be counterproductive and might even backfire.

"If it were you, even a single glance or a touch of your hand would be enough to touch my heart."

The person who understands women best in the world is women themselves. They know what they need most at different times. During their period, they have a cup of warm brown sugar water to relieve pain, and when they fall asleep, they have a long overcoat to keep them warm. That's enough.

"Su Wanwan, do you know how I used to think of you?"

Su Wanxi's curiosity suddenly surfaced, but she didn't show it on the surface.

"do not know."

Perhaps it's because he has a stern face and seems unapproachable?

Gu Cheng brushed aside the bangs that were obscuring her vision and said softly, "I've never seen such a beautiful girl before. Not only is her face pretty, but her figure is also amazing." In other words, Su Wanxi was exactly her type.

After listening for a moment, the woman suddenly recalled some details of their first meeting.

"So, that's why you... had an electrical leak back then?"

Perhaps it was just psychological, but Gu Cheng felt that Su Wanxi deliberately emphasized the last syllable, making her tone particularly subtle.

A blush quickly crept up her cheeks. Gu Cheng bit her lip and said coquettishly to the woman on top of her, "Su Wanwan!"

Was such a big reaction because she was afraid she didn't know? Noticing the girl's delicate body trembling slightly, Su Wanxi pretended to be innocent, but couldn't help but smile: "I was just asking casually."

"Wanwan, you're smiling, aren't you?"

"Pfft, no."

"You're lying, you're definitely laughing."

"You'd be a fool to believe that," Gu Cheng thought to herself. "Women's words are deceitful."

"I'm not saying anything more. I'm going to take a shower and go to bed."

The kitten's fur stood on end, and Su Wanxi knew she shouldn't tease it anymore. She squeezed her long, white legs tightly around her waist and leaned forward, letting her ample breasts press against her back.

"I was indeed laughing just now, but I only laughed because I heard how much Orange likes me."

Her words were impeccable, and Su Wanxi lowered her head, nuzzling the girl's neck in a flattering manner.

"Please forgive me, don't be angry anymore~"

Feeling two soft mounds on her back and smelling the citrus scent of her lover, Gu Cheng, who wasn't angry to begin with, stepped down the stairs.

"Don't keep laughing next time." Once her ears weren't so hot, Gu Cheng continued with the emotions she had been building up: "Not only is she beautiful, but she's also incredibly capable, handling rifts with ease, and she can defeat even the most powerful creatures with ease."

“Back then, Captain Su was like a star in the night sky. Every time I looked at you, I had to look up, wanting to get closer but unable to touch you.”

Gu Chengyan muttered to himself, "Su Wanxi is at least ten centimeters taller than you when she wears heels, so you have to look up at her."

Are you trying to mock me for being short...? But we're in the same body... Gu Cheng didn't quite understand the other person's thought process.

"After spending more time with her, I realized that my Su Wanwan is actually kind-hearted despite her cold exterior, and is very good at taking care of people."

Gu Cheng listed many of Su Wanxi's good qualities word by word, making Su Wanxi herself feel a little embarrassed.

"...Am I really that good?" Su Wanxi asked her.

Gu Cheng nodded: "Of course."

"And, most importantly."

"My wife really spoils me."

Chapter 313, Section 319: An Zhishui's Little Report

After enjoying Su Wanxi's meticulous shoulder and neck massage, Gu Cheng's fatigue from the day finally dissipated. The two went back to their room to get their nightgowns and then took a relaxing hot bath in the bathroom.

It was already past ten o'clock when Su Wanxi went to bed. She dried her hair and crawled into the quilt. Looking down, she saw Gu Cheng playing on her phone, her slender eyebrows curving into two crescent moons.

"What are you looking at so happily?" Su Wanxi asked softly as she hugged her.

"An Zhishui sent a message."

Gu Cheng answered the woman's question while typing, her clear, bright brown eyes resembling delicate round amber pieces under the light.

"Is it something important that she wants to see you so late?"

"No, we were just chatting..."

Sleeping in the same bed with his fiancée while chatting intimately with another woman made Su Wanxi feel a little jealous, but she refused to show it and simply hummed in agreement.

"Wanwan, are you jealous?"

After a brief silence, Su Wanxi blinked and said, "...just a little bit."

That meant she was jealous. Gu Cheng adjusted her pillow, thinking that her chat with An Zhishui shouldn't involve any privacy issues, so she simply turned the screen sideways so that Su Wanxi could watch it together.

Gu Cheng had just set up her phone when she suddenly regretted it. She thought about how Princess An was a bit naive and innocent, and what if she suddenly sent a message like, "I apologize for Xiao Weiwei selling out her teammates in the underground ruins that day," and then went on and on about it.

How should she explain this to Su Wanxi, and tell the truth?

If his fiancée found out, she probably wouldn't even continue his rehabilitation treatment the next day. She would just fire Jiang Xuewei from his job and then rush to the action team and hold a knife to their necks.
