Director Wang understood Su Shen’s look and quickly said, “Mr. Su, we’ll replace him immediately. Don’t worry.”

When the guard saw this, he regretted it so much that he wanted to die. But in the end, it was all his fault for provoking someone he shouldn’t have!

The people around him looked at the guard mockingly. Some people even said, “He deserves it!”

Su Bing and Su Li couldn’t hide their smiles; it was the first time they had felt the security of being protected by their parents. The joy on their faces was heartwarming.

After Chief Wang dismissed the guard, he respectfully said to Gu Zi, “What would the children like to play with? I’ll go get the tickets immediately.”

Gu Zi looked at Su Bing and Su Li. ‘What do you guys want to play?”

Su Bing gently elbowed Su Li, encouraging him to share some of the games he was interested in.

“My brother and I have plans to enjoy bumper cars, funny mirrors, and moon rockets,” Su Li announced with enthusiasm.

“Sounds great! Let’s have a blast with bumper cars, amusing mirrors, and moon-bound rockets. How about we throw in a merry-go-round for even more fun?” suggested Gu Zi.

Su Li’s face lit up upon hearing the mention of a new addition, and he nodded eagerly.

Gu Zi, with the air of a charismatic leader, snapped her fingers and led the children to partake in these delightful activities.

Though Su Shen didn’t actively participate, he stood by, observing the joyous moments.

It was only in Gu Zi’s presence that Su Shen truly comprehended the innocence and beauty of a child’s smile.

His attention was primarily fixated on her, and her every expression, be it a furrowed brow or an infectious grin, started to leave an indelible mark on his heart.

Her laughter, especially radiant, seemed to brighten the surroundings.

Whenever her gaze met his, her eyes resembled beams of light piercing into his soul, revealing the hidden depths within.

Su Shen was certain that he would forever remember her in this manner.

After leaving the Children’s Palace, Gu Zi led them to the Liberation Store.

The Liberation Store, a four-story white building, might seem unremarkable to a 21st-century eye.

However, in this era, it was exceptionally popular. It was a high-end shopping mall in the city, offering goods that were not readily available in other shops.

Gu Zi couldn’t help but marvel at the 1980s. It was in 1978 that the call for reform and opening up had begun to resound. This very movement had given rise to the prosperity of this era.

Though it wasn’t fully open yet, Gu Zi was already looking forward to the day it would be. “On which floor can we find the liberated clothing?” she inquired with the shop assistant.

The salesperson told them it was on the second floor, where they currently stood.

Su Li’s ears perked up when he heard the term “liberators.” He glanced at his brother, asking, “Is she going to buy us liberated clothing?”

Su Bing remained silent but admired their stepmother’s keen observation. They hadn’t explicitly mentioned their desire for liberated clothing, yet she had discerned it.

Gu Zi approached the counter selling liberated clothing and asked, “Please bring three sets of liberated clothinz for these children.”

The salesperson escorted the two children to the changing rooms to try on the clothes.

Su Li, donned in a fresh set of grass-green attire, clapped his hands in excitement. He no longer needed to envy others; he had his very own set of liberated clothing.

Su Bing gazed at himself in the mirror, wearing a satisfied smile, albeit not as openly exuberant as Su Li.

Su Shen noticed it all and thanked Gu Zi, saying, “You’re truly remarkable. You have a knack for making them happy. Thank you for being here.”

Gu Zi’s cheeks flushed under his gaze. “It’s because you’re a remarkable person,” she replied. “I’m more than willing to be here.”

Unbeknownst to Gu Zi, across the counter, someone was watching her intently.

Gong Zhan himself was unaware that he had been staring at Gu Zi, captivated by her presence.

The woman who had always been by his side was now directing her affection toward another man.

They seemed to be engrossed in conversation, their height difference making them an ideal match.

Yet, he felt a twinge of unease and promptly averted his gaze. Why did he have the impulse to step in between them?

Perhaps he should have not have agreed on this shopping trip with Gong Xin; it was quite tedious.

Gong Xin, bustling with bags of purchased items, prodded him, “Brother, can you hurry up? I still need to visit the snack section.”

“Alright,” Gong Zhan acquiesced, trailing behind her. He glanced back, but the two had already disappeared.

A sudden emptiness filled his heart, and it felt like something had vanished from within him..
