Underlying Medical Condition

Gu Zi looked at the two bowls of piping hot food and smiled. She took them and said to Su Bing, "Thank you, Boss!"

With that, she left the kitchen.

Su Bing's face reddened at the compliment, and Su Li approached, curious. He asked his older brother, "Will stepmother always be this nice?"

Su Bing gazed upstairs at Gu Zi and whispered to his younger brother, "Don't expect too much, it's only the beginning." Then, he walked towards the living room.

Despite his words, Su Bing couldn't help heating two servings of food for Gu Zi. He believed she hadn't eaten anything after taking care of their father.

When Gu Zi returned to the room, she found Su Shen sitting by the bed, topless due to the need for air on his wound. His muscular body caught her eye.

Su Shen cleared his throat. 

Hastily, Gu Zi picked up her chopsticks and began eating, fearing that she had made her intentions too apparent. She hoped she hadn't embarrassed herself earlier.
