After Lu Yanshen finished his shower and came out with a bath towel wrapped around his waist, Gu Zhi had already turned off the television.
She had been playing on her mobile phone, but the moment she saw him come out, she immediately tossed the phone aside and stopped playing.
Then she turned over and tried to lie flat.
Her eyes were bright and sparkling:
"Come on!"
She was very expectant.
When he was wearing clothes, his physique was already good.
With his clothes off, his physique was even better.
With those broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs, he even had abs.
Not to mention that devastatingly handsome face.
And he was her husband.
She didn't feel the need to be coy at all.
She truly felt that if she didn't sleep with him, it would be a waste.
Lu Yanshen didn't understand for a moment and looked at her.
Gu Zhi was extremely frank:
"Let's do it. Tonight is our first night of marriage, did you forget?"
The usually indifferent Lu Yanshen was silent for the first time.
First, he was silent because of her boldness and straightforwardness.
Second, he was silent because he hadn't even thought about this at all.
The arranged marriage was unplanned and belonged to the category of unexpected events.
Moreover, Gu Zhi had an injury to her legs.
Lu Yanshen's cold eyes fixed on Gu Zhi's two calves.
Old Master Gu had already told him that she was only using a wheelchair temporarily and would recover.
But if she didn't take good care of herself, there would be aftereffects.
Seeing Lu Yanshen looking at her two calves, Gu Zhi knew that Lu Yanshen was concerned about her legs.
She immediately said:
"It's fine, as long as I don't move my calves around. So, I'll have to trouble you to do the moving."
Lu Yanshen's silence was even more deafening.
One second...
Two seconds...
Three seconds...
Gu Zhi waited for a long time, but didn't see any reaction from Lu Yanshen:
"What, you don't want to do it?"
She was shockingly direct.
Lu Yanshen was silent for another two seconds before he said, expressionless, four words:
"Wait until your legs are better."
He felt this was the standard answer.
It wasn't as if they would never do it.
Gu Zhi always liked to live in the moment, and upon hearing this, she wanted to try to persuade him a bit more.
Little did she know that after he finished speaking, he walked toward the cloakroom with his long legs.
"What a pity," Gu Zhi sighed.
Then she didn't care anymore.
If he wasn't cooperating, she couldn't exactly force herself on him, right?
"Sleep!"
Gu Zhi immediately closed her eyes and fell asleep in almost a second.
Lu Yanshen had only gone to the cloakroom to put on a bathrobe, and when he returned, he saw that Gu Zhi was already asleep.
She was still fragrant and soft, well-behaved, but she was deeply asleep.
Even when she unconsciously turned over and swung her arm, knocking over the water glass on the nightstand, causing it to shatter on the floor, she didn't wake up.
She had just said she wanted to do it, and yet, she fell asleep so quickly...
Lu Yanshen's footsteps paused for a moment.
Then, his cold eyes remained calm and ripple-free.
There were shards all around the bed, and Lu Yanshen originally wanted to call someone in to clean them up.
But although Gu Zhi couldn't move her two calves, her sleeping posture was truly too unrestrained.
Even a corner of her underwear was exposed.
Lu Yanshen walked over, keeping his eyes focused, and pulled the quilt to gently cover Gu Zhi.
Then he walked toward the door.
But before he reached the door, Gu Zhi turned over again, swung her arm, and the quilt was pushed aside once more.
Lu Yanshen was silent for a second before he resigned himself to his fate.
He opened the door slightly and, with a cold face, asked the maidservant to bring cleaning tools.
He took the tools and personally cleaned up all the shards on the floor.
The butler and the maidservant were waiting at the door, all stunned, as it was the first time they had seen their Mister doing housework.
Although they hadn't seen the process.
They only saw their Mister asking for cleaning tools, and later, when their Mister returned the cleaning tools to them, they saw the water glass shards inside.
Lu Yanshen closed the bedroom door again before putting Gu Zhi's wheelchair back by the bed.
He also put Gu Zhi's extremely cute slippers, which had two fluffy little balls on them, back by the bed.
He had moved them away when he was cleaning earlier.
Only then did he lie down on the bed.
Because Gu Zhi's overly unrestrained sleeping posture took up most of the bed, Lu Yanshen could only lie on the edge.
Fortunately, even though Gu Zhi was deeply asleep, she somewhat knew that her two calves were injured, so she didn't move them around.
Otherwise, Lu Yanshen felt he might have had to sleep on the floor.
No one had ever slept beside him before, and even though this person had no guard up and was deeply asleep, Lu Yanshen was still a bit unaccustomed to it.
For a moment, he couldn't fall asleep.
He couldn't help but think of Gu Zhi's bold words from earlier.
He felt there was a generation gap between him and Gu Zhi.
After all, Gu Zhi was only twenty-two, while he was thirty.
There was an eight-year age difference between them.
The next day, Lu Yanshen woke up early.
By the time he finished his morning exercise, Gu Zhi had also woken up.
But she wasn't fully awake; she was sitting on the bed hugging the quilt, her eyes unfocused and dazed.
It seemed like in the next second, she would fall back down and sleep soundly again.
Lu Yanshen ignored her and went straight to change into his clothes for going out.
When he was dressed, he saw that Gu Zhi was still on the bed with her eyes unfocused.
But it only took him the time it took to tie his tie.
When he turned back to put on his wristwatch, he saw that Gu Zhi had somehow grabbed her hair.
She had already messed up her hair, which was as smooth as silk, into a bird's nest.
Except for her fair and tender face, which was still beautiful, she had no image left to speak of.
Lu Yanshen's movement of putting on his wristwatch paused for a moment.
Then he went downstairs.
Gu Zhi was just unconsciously grabbing her hair.
After Lu Yanshen left, she took a few more seconds to fully wake up.
Thinking about how Lu Yanshen seemed to have been changing his clothes and tying his tie in front of the dressing mirror earlier, she didn't care.
This was Lu Yanshen's room, after all.
However, thinking that she hadn't managed to sleep with Lu Yanshen last night, she felt a sense of regret again.
Gu Zhi asked two maidservants to come in and help her get up.
By the time Gu Zhi took the elevator downstairs, Lu Yanshen had already gone to work.
Just as Gu Zhi arrived at the dining table, Uncle Zhou respectfully handed her a black card with both hands.
"Madam, this is from Mister for you. Mister said, for your wedding ring, buy whatever style you like. All your future expenses should also come from this card."
He was quite generous, giving her a black card directly.
However, she felt that with Lu Yanshen's cold personality, he wouldn't say something like "buy whatever style you like."
At most, he would have just told her to buy whatever she wanted.
As Gu Zhi took the black card, she said:
"Don't sugarcoat it, what exactly did he say?"
Uncle Zhou's heart skipped a beat.
He didn't expect Madam to see through it.
He had good intentions, fearing that Mister's words would be too ice-cold and heartless, hurting the feelings of the newly arrived Madam, so he had sugarcoated it a bit.
But since she had seen through it, he naturally hurried to tell the truth:
"Mister said he is busy with work and has no time, so you should just look and buy it yourself."
See?
Gu Zhi withdrew her gaze.
Just as she was about to put the black card aside to eat breakfast, she suddenly noticed the type of black card it was.
Gu Zhi was very surprised:
"Unlimited?"
This was more than just being quite generous.
This was being too generous.
She had just assumed it was the kind of black card with a limit of ten or twenty million.
Uncle Zhou: "Yes."
Uncle Zhou added:
"You can make a phone call and have people send things over for you to choose from, Madam. Madam, do you need me to make the call?"
Gu Zhi was just about to say that would be fine, as having them sent over for her to choose would be more convenient.
But before she could speak, Jiang Nian sent her a WeChat message, teasing her about whether she had gotten up today and if she was able to get up.
