Su Le darted over to Gu Zi, flinging her tiny arms around her mother’s leg and burying her face into her dress. "Mommy, you’re so beautiful, and you smell so good!" she gushed.

Even Su Bing, normally the most taciturn of the three children, couldn’t hold back and said earnestly, "Mommy, you look especially pretty today."

Gu Zi chuckled, tousling their little heads affectionately. "So you all like this extra-beautiful mommy, hmm? Does that mean you don’t like the mommy who usually only looks just okay?"

Feigning an exaggerated sadness, she peeked at their faces, fully intending to tease them. Sure enough, the three children immediately shook their heads frantically.

Su Li declared solemnly, "Mommy looks beautiful every day in our eyes. We love you!"

Warmth bloomed in Gu Zi’s chest as she looked at her children, laughter bubbling from the cozy little scene. They were still reveling in their happy moment when Su Shen strode back into the house.

He had slicked his hair back into a polished style that showed off his sharply handsome, dependable face, and he looked positively devastating.

Gone was his usual casualness—he wore a perfectly tailored suit, his jacket slung casually over one arm. A few buttons at the collar of his crisp white shirt had been left undone, offering just a tantalizing glimpse of chiseled chest muscles. The air around him practically crackled with masculine allure.

Gu Zi stepped forward, eyeing the man up and down with mock seriousness. "Tsk, tsk. President Su is looking mighty dashing today. This outfit—surely it’s custom-made? Have you finally figured out how to unleash your charm? Important people attending tonight’s party?"

Su Shen had just come back from a grooming session at a professional men’s styling house—after the embarrassing episode where he had been mistaken for Gu Zi’s older brother (or worse, her father), he had decided it was time to up his game.

Gu Zi was always so impeccably dressed, so effortlessly dazzling; he needed to at least keep pace. He’d booked the full-service package, leaving nothing to chance.

He knew she was teasing, but the sparkle in her eyes made it clear: the effort had paid off. Watching her admire him, Su Shen couldn’t resist pulling her closer by the waist and asking in a low, eager voice, "Gu Zi, do I look like I belong next to you now?"

His eyes burned into hers with an intensity that seemed to say: You are the most important person at tonight’s party. I only dressed up to match you.

Gu Zi, thoroughly delighted, smiled and teased back, "Mm, not bad. You definitely look younger. So, President Su, what do you think of my outfit? Can I do you proud?"

She took his hand and did a playful little twirl, her dress swirling charmingly around her.
