Chapter 355: Torn
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Before ascending the stairs for the night, Gu Zi informed her second son that his little sister, Lele, would be sleeping with her tonight, and he needn’t bring her over.
The boy seemed a bit disheartened, “Mom, is it because I didn’t take good care of Lele?”
In truth, he knew he wasn’t as adept at caring for his sister as his older brother was, but he yearned to assist his mother and gain her approval.
Gu Zi gently patted the top of her second son’s head, explaining softly, “Of course not, don’t think like that. If I thought you couldn’t take care of Lele, I wouldn’t have entrusted her to you in the first place. It’s just that I haven’t held Lele to sleep in a long time. Can I have her tonight?”
“Sure, Mom. I’ll go brush my teeth now,” the boy’s face brightened, and he headed towards the bathroom downstairs.
Onlv the master bedroom upstairs had an en-suite bathroom, so the two older boys usually performed their nightly ablu tions downstairs.
Initially, the boys’ teeth brushing technique was far from perfect. Gu Zi had spent two evenings instructing them, emphasizing the importance of proper dental hygiene lest their teeth be devoured by cavities.
Now, the boys couldn’t sleep without thoroughly brushing their teeth.
Feeling a bit tired herself, Gu Zi turned off the television, cradled Lele in her arms, and headed upstairs.
Upon opening the bedroom door, she found her husband just emerging from the bathroom, a warm mist trailing behind him. He was clad in a tank top, seemingly eager to flait his well-toned physique. Gu Zi scoffed internally.
She walked straight in, placing Lele on the bed to play for a while. She intended to wash the day’s clothes, but the next moment, her husband had wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her against the wardrobe to kiss her, his hand boldly venturing under her clothes.
Their position was out of Lele’s line of sight, so there was no need to worry about the child seeing. But what was he thinking, starting off so passionately? She wasn’t having it.
Gu Zi bit him, a bead of blood appearing on his lip as he released hers.
He clicked his tongue, amused by her feisty response. While Su Shen didn’t mind the pain, he knew he couldn’t continue kissing her. He needed to appease his fiery wife.
“Take your hand away,” she commanded, her voice feigning indifference, but her suppressed panting was evident.
Su Shen picked up on this, deliberately grazing her sensitive spot as he withdrew his hand. Unable to hold back, she let out a soft moan.
Suppressing a smirk, he asked nonchalantly, “Are you okay?”
Ignoring him, Gu Zi cast him a defiant look before pushing past him towards the bed.
Su Shen watched her proud silhouette, savoring the soft moan she had just let out. His breathing grew heavy, but he managed to control himself, following her to the bed where he held her once again. Of course, there were no further actions.
Gu Zi paid him no mind, sitting on the edge of the bed, amusing herself with Lele. After a while, she finally spoke, “Why don’t you wash my clothes for me?
We can talk afterwards.”
She felt a bit tired and suddenly didn’t want to move.
Su Shen replied, “I’ve washed them. I washed them for you earlier, but I might have been a bit too rough. I tore your silk underwear. I’m sorry.”
Gu Zi turned to look at him, his strength was truly beastly!
However, the fact that he had taken the initiative to wash her clothes made Gu Zi feel a bit petty.
Everyone had a past, especially a man in his thirties.
With a huff, Gu Zi feigned concern and asked, “What are we going to do about this? Are you going to compensate me?”
The man nodded, “I will compensate you. From now on, I’ll take care of all your underwear.”
What kind of statement was that? How was she supposed to respond? Gu Zi pursed her lips, but still agreed, “Alright then.”
“Are you not angry anymore?” Su Shen detected a change in her tone, the strange awkwardness from before was gone.
This woman was truly something, her temper was as quick to leave as it was to arrive, and he hadn’t even started to coax her yet.
His lips were near her ear, with a slight dip of his head, he could kiss her beautiful earlobe. Her earlobe was the most beautiful he had ever seen, glossy like a droplet of water, flushed with a hint of red.
Upon hearing his question, she finally turned to look at him, her clear eyes reflecting his face.
The young woman’s nose twitched slightly, her tone somewhat aggrieved, “Being angry isn’t good, but Su Shen, we need to clear things up. I want to know, who is Hu Jie?”
Although it was the first time she had heard this name, Gu Zi felt a certain dislike for it. A woman’s intuition was usually accurate, so it was better to clarify this matter to avoid trouble in the future.
Su Shen’s tense jaw relaxed, he leaned down to kiss her earlobe, savoring it before letting go.
He said, “So that’s why you were angry, you silly woman..”
