Chapter 726: Her Attitude

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Su Shen’s jaw was set tight, his eyes dull. She said there was no need for explanations, but did she truly not mind at all? She knew about his previous engagement to Hu Jie. If it hadn’t been for Hu Jie’s mother whisking her away, they might have already been married according to his mentor’s will.

But perhaps she was right. They had spoken of Hu Jie a few times before.

At first, Gu Zi had cared, but after his explanations, she had come to accept the name without issue. Even when she had initially cared, her reaction had been calm, not at all like other women who would have caused a fuss. Her attitude was elegant and dignified, fitting her personality.

Su Shen was well aware that there was no past romance between him and Hu Jie. Their engagement had only come about due to his mentor’s will. Logically, Gu Zi’s reaction was reasonable. Yet, Su Shen felt that Gu Zi didn’t seem to care much about the matter, which made him somewhat concerned. Did he not hold much weight in her heart? freёwebnoѵel.com

At least to Gu Zi, he was not indispensable. This realization left him feeling incredibly disheartened and powerless.

However, he quickly came to his senses. He couldn’t blame Gu Zi. After all, he was a man of a certain age, had been engaged before, and had a reputation for being cold and aloof. Perhaps he was too intimidating. According to Jin Long’s previous words, he was not the type women liked. Many women would feel a sense of fear towards him.

If there was anyone to blame, it was himself. He simply wasn’t good enough for Gu Zi. Indeed, as a man, he rarely doubted himself. Even when he lacked confidence, he could find a way to not care and remain steadfast. For a lion on the plains, any lack of courage could lead to the loss of life and property…

But when it came to Gu Zi’s heart, he found it hard not to care. He had heard about Gu Zi’s past pursuit of Gong Zhan. Her determined choice, proactive and brave, fearless. He found himself somewhat jealous of Gong Zhan at that time. He began to grow greedy, wanting his place in Gu Zi’s heart to be as significant as Gong Zhan’s had been.

But he didn’t know how to express this. If he were to tell Gu Zi directly, it would seem like a demand. He felt uncomfortable.

Watching Gu Zi stand up, he also rose and followed her, wrapping his arms around her waist from behind and hugging her tightly. This close physical contact could soothe his unbalanced emotions. He wanted to hold her like this often.

Gu Zi had intended to put away the fresh vegetables and other farm produce she had brought back. She planned to take some out and deliver them to the Gao family next door while they were still fresh. But she hadn’t expected Su Shen to follow her and suddenly embrace her.

Her face flushed slightly. “Su Shen, the children are still outside.”

Su Shen responded in a low voice, but did not let go. “Mm, it’s okay. They won’t come in now. And they’re not young anymore. They should understand that a hug between parents is a normal thing. As long as it’s handled correctly, it won’t have a negative impact on them.”

Gu Zi was secretly surprised. This man of this era was more open-minded than she was. She couldn’t fall behind. The vegetables could wait. At this moment, comforting her husband was more important.

Gu Zi turned around and wrapped her arms around his waist. Her grip was strong and enticing. “We can’t go too far, though. But husband, come with me.”

Su Shen obediently let Gu Zi lead him upstairs. Gu Zi pushed open the door to the master bedroom, pulled him inside, and closed the door. She pushed him against the door, hooked her fingers into his waistband, and pressed her soft, enticing body against his.

This stirred a heat in Su Shen’s heart. Then, her hot lips pressed against his. He closed his eyes in pleasure, savoring her rare initiative.

Her lips traced a path down his body, as they moved from the door to the bed. Slowly, his buttons were undone, his clothes removed. Then, Gu Zi’s smooth, voluptuous body pressed against his bare upper body, their warm, passionate bodies entwining.

Not long after, the sound of a zipper being undone echoed in the room.

He couldn’t help but open his eyes, just in time to see Gu Zi’s lust-filled gaze. Her beautiful body straddled him, her warm core enveloping his arousal.

At that moment, Su Shen felt as hard as iron, in dire need of Gu Zi’s warmth to soften him, lest he break from being too rigid.

In that moment, the man’s hardness and the woman’s softness collided, creating a wonderful chemical reaction. Each collision brought Su Shen a different sensation, making every cell in his body dance and roar.
