However, apart from working at the pig farm, Jin Long was often away in the city on business. They couldn’t fathom how he could meet the girl of his dreams. Judging by Jin Long’s demeanor, they assumed that he was still in the unrequited love phase.
Jin Long, with a cigarette hanging from his lips, hopped onto the truck. His profile had a hint of roguish charm. To the two men laughing at him, he said, “Are you coming or not? If not, I’m leaving.” Before his words had fully settled, he started the vehicle.
The two men, who had been nonchalant moments ago, immediately became serious. They swiftly climbed onto the truck, saying, “We were just joking. Let’s go, let’s go. You promised that Su Shen would pay for our drinks. You can’t go back on your word. Let’s go to the town for a meal…”
As soon as the truck left, Su Shen and his family arrived at their home. After getting out of the vehicle, Su Shen found the keys that Jin Long had left on the wall, opened the courtyard gate, and placed the potted plants they had bought inside the yard.
Gu Zi didn’t bother with anything else. There was no need for her to worry. She carried Lele upstairs to sleep. Su Le was also feeling sleepy. The mother and daughter had synchronized sleep schedules.
Later, Gu Zi was half-awake in bed, feeling a bit lazy and not wanting to get up. She turned over, intending to continue sleeping, but found herself facing the thighs of a man who had just entered the room. He was sitting on the edge of the bed, his gaze fixed intently on the woman in the bed.
Unable to resist, he leaned over, tracing her sleeping face with his long fingers. Her long hair was a bit messy, but it only made her face look more radiant and beautiful. Even in sleep, she was incredibly beautiful.
“Su Shen, have you been smoking?” Gu Zit s hand grabbed the man’s hand. Her eyes were still closed, but she knew he was there.
The scent of tobacco mixed with his strong masculine pheromones filled her nostrils, making her heart flutter. She felt inexplicably thirsty, which disrupted her sleep.
“Mm,” he responded briefly, his voice low and pleasant.
Gu Zi couldn’t help but open her eyes, just in time to see his Adam’s apple bob.
It was incredibly sexy. As her gaze moved up, she met Su Shen’s eyes. It felt like an electric shock, a current rising from her heart, spreading to her lower abdomen, causing a tingling sensation.
Gu Zi was no longer an innocent woman. She knew this was her natural physiological response to Su Shen. Su Shen was her husband, and they had made love many times. There was nothing wrong with it.
Gu Zi feigned calm, not avoiding the man’s gaze. However, as he moved closer to her, the warmth of his breath brushed against her lips, causing her heart to flutter. She found herself leaning into his arms, her hand resting on his arm for support. Despite her disarray, she managed to ask, “Did you also see Gong Zhan and the others?”
Su Shen hadn’t expected the woman to discern his thoughts, but he didn’t panic. He replied honestly, “Yes, I saw them. I don’t like him having you in his thoughts. I couldn’t stand it, so I smoked a few cigarettes. I apologize.”
He was indeed consumed by an ungentlemanly jealousy, a bitter envy. Seeing the woman who deliberately imitated Gu Zi, he understood that Gong Zhan’s heart was not as pure as his words suggested. He was secretly coveting Gu Zi.
He didn’t blame Gu Zi, but he needed to find a way to vent his feelings. Apart from smoking, he couldn’t think of anything better.
Gu Zi felt the heat of the man’s gaze on her, a strong desire to possess her. She couldn’t bear to blame her man for an insignificant man.
She found Gong Zhan’s persistence annoying. Was it because he was the protagonist of the original book that she kept running into him everywhere? It was too bothersome. She spoke softly to Su Shen, “Don’t apologize. Close your eyes first.”
Without hesitation, Su Shen complied. But just as he was about to ask her something, a faint sweet scent filled his nostrils, and a soft tongue was licking his lips. For a moment, his mind went blank. She was kissing him, kissing him despite the taste of smoke on his lips.
At first, it was Gu Zi who took the initiative, but within a minute, Su Shen took control, leaving Gu Zi breathless and weak. Her tongue was numb, her legs were weak, and her arms were draped over him without strength. She felt as soft as a water snake, her mind somewhat oxygen-deprived.
“I didn’t expect to run into them either. But I wanted to buy rosemary for cooking, nothing more. You didn’t misunderstand, did you?”
Gu Zi felt she should clarify things a bit. She didn’t want her man to misunderstand her, but the relationship between the original host and Gong Zhan was indeed hard not to misunderstand. However, Gu Zi couldn’t say that she wasn’t the original host..
