Upon Su Shen’s return, Gu Zi spoke to him, “The food store opened today, and Boss Huo came. Did you know?”
Gu Zi observed Boss Huo’s self-congratulatory demeanor and deduced that Su Shen was likely unaware. However, since Boss Huo was eager to make an impression, she felt obliged to relay the information accurately. After all, her husband’s reputation was substantial, and people were not merely showing up without reason.
Su Shen gently moved Lele to the side, settling down next to Gu Zi. His actions were so natural, it seemed as if it was meant to be that way, without any hesitation. He responded, “He is a wealthy idler, it’s not surprising that he would come. Did anything untoward happen today?”
Gu Zi leaned against his arm, feeling a warmth and solidity that seemed even more comforting than usual after two days of sleeping apart. “Nothing much,” she reassured him, “Just some villagers and townsfolk watching. The store just opened, and some people can’t stand to see others doing well. But they wouldn’t dare cause any trouble openly. Don’t worry, I can handle it. Besides, we have Sister-in-law and the others.”
Once Su Shen was assured that nothing had gone awry, his expression relaxed. However, he still felt the need to caution her, “It’s always wise to be cautious in business. But you are a meticulous person, I trust you can handle it. Just remember, try not to get into conflicts with others. If anything happens, don’t try to handle it alone. Call for me immediately. There are phones in town you can use, understand?”
His tone turned serious, even stern, but Gu Zi felt a warmth spreading in her heart. Her husband was truly perfect!
She responded, “Mm, I understand. You’re my husband, if anything happens, I’ll definitely find you first.” As Gu Zi spoke, a wave of emotion welled up within her. She spent the night in his arms.
In the morning, when Gu Zi awoke, it seemed Su Shen had already left. After freshening up, she noticed her usual hairpin was missing. After a moment of thought, she realized it must have fallen onto the bed while she was putting Lele to sleep the night before.
Downstairs, Su Shen had not yet left the house. He had prepared breakfast and was now ascending the stairs to wake Gu Zi.
Upon opening the door, he was greeted by an intoxicating sight. Gu Zi was sprawled across the bed, her rounded bottom raised in the air. The hem of her nightgown had ridden up, revealing the fair skin of her thighs. The morning sunlight streamed in through the window, illuminating her white nightgown, and casting a hazy glow over her intimate area. The sight completely captured his attention.
Perhaps Gu Zi had heard the noise, for she turned her head and spoke in a soft, coquettish voice, “You haven’t left yet? My hairpin fell into the gap between the bed. Can you fetch a long bamboo stick so I can retrieve it?”
Su Shen felt a shiver run down his spine at the sound of her voice. As she turned to look at him, her face was flushed. He knew it was probably due to exhaustion, but the sight was utterly bewitching.
His gaze lingered on her pert backside, and he felt a heat rising within him. His voice dropped to a low murmur as he responded, “Gu Zi, sit properly, don’t test my patience this early in the morning.”
He was not a man devoid of desires, especially when he was with this woman. He found it all too easy to be entranced by her, as he was now, his body responding honestly to his arousal.
“What?” Gu Zi had been maintaining the same position for too long and was feeling slightly dizzy. Her mind hadn’t quite caught up yet, but she obediently sat up on the bed. When she turned her gaze to him, she noticed the bulge in his trousers. Realization dawned on her and she instinctively pulled the blanket over herself, her breath coming in short gasps.
Su Shen moved towards her, swallowing hard. He cradled the back of her head in his hand, his eyes focused on her flushed lips, and leaned in for a kiss.
This little temptress, only now did she think to cover herself. Did she not realize it was already too late? Next time, he would take her thoroughly, in that very position, with that very posture, he would possess her completely.
After the kiss, Gu Zi’s cheeks felt as if they had been scalded with hot water. When he had kissed her, she had stolen a glance at him, his eyes were filled with desire.
He was surely thinking about their intimate moments. This wicked man, who everyone thought was cold and indifferent, was a different person in bed. He was truly a master of disguise…
Today, Gu Zi did not leave Lele at Aunt Zhang’s house, but took her to the town instead. By the time they arrived, it was already past eight, and there were still many people eating in the shop.
Li Hua, having a moment of leisure, whispered in her ear, “Sister, you were right. Even before dawn, several people from the town came to our restaurant to eat. Those from the city can’t come every day, so we must rely on the locals for our customer base.”
