As Gu Zi spoke, she gently pulled away from his grasp, freeing one hand to retrieve the roast pigeon. Its golden-brown, glistening skin was tantalizingly appealing.
Satisfied, Su Shen kissed her earlobe in gratitude. "With you around, how could I ever go hungry? The volcano ribs you made today were incredibly delicious, not to mention the roast pigeon. You've outdone yourself," he praised.
Gu Zi turned to look at him, "Is that so? But why are you talking like our second child?" She teased, then turned away to hide her giggles. She found his imitation of their child endearing. She had always thought that he was only handsome when he was aloof, but now she realized that his occasional warmth was equally charming.
