After Gu Shao and Su Su finished dinner at her mother’s home, they returned to their own house. As soon as Su Su walked in, she collapsed onto the sofa.
Although she was not as active as Zai Zai, she had not gone out walking in a long time and could not adjust all at once.
Gu Shao turned on the lights and saw Su Su lying on the sofa. She had one arm over her eyes, and her shirt had ridden up a little, revealing her fair, slender waist.
Gu Shao walked over very quietly, and Su Su did not hear him.
He removed her arm and saw her little face. Her eyes were half open, half closed, her expression lazy and a little hazy, yet very alluring.
For some reason, he always wanted to move closer to her, closer and even closer, until he could fold her into his bones. He could not quite express that feeling in words, but his body’s desire was very real. Gu Shao could not help kissing her forehead.
Su Su looked at him and enjoyed this moment of calm tenderness.
After a while, she playfully turned her face and pointed to her cheek, still smiling at Gu Shao, her eyes curved into crescents.
Gu Shao understood and kissed the spot her fair finger had touched as well.
Gu Shao knew she liked to drink water, so he asked, “Thirsty? I will go pour you a glass of water.”
Su Su shook her head. Propping herself up, she wrapped both soft arms around his neck and, as usual, wanted to act spoiled. “So tired. Aren’t you tired?”
“This already tired you out? Why is your stamina so poor? Tomorrow morning, get up early and exercise with me.”
“No way, I can never wake up early, let alone exercise.”
Gu Shao only smiled and said nothing. In any case, tomorrow morning she would know she could not refuse.
He could indulge her in other things, but no matter what, he had to make sure she took care of her health.
Gu Shao said, “Let’s go upstairs.”
“Mm.” Su Su still would not let go of him. Softly, she said, “I am too tired to walk. Carry me upstairs.” Even though she had imagined many wonderful things before, this was the first time she had ever asked a man for something like this.
It was a little thrilling, and a little nerve-racking. Her heart was pounding hard.
Gu Shao definitely would not refuse her, but he curved his lips and said, “If I carry you upstairs, what do I get in return?” His eyes were still gentle, but a trace of mischievousness, something he rarely showed in front of her, had crept in.
Ah, annoying Gu Shao. He was even saying things like that!
Su Su knew what he wanted to hear, but in this situation it was too embarrassing to say it out loud.
For a moment, all the various poses she had drawn before flooded through her mind. A wave of heat rose inside her and rushed straight to her face, making her cheeks turn pinker and pinker.
Gu Shao had been watching her the whole time, so of course he did not miss the change in her. Aside from her peach-like, soft and pink face, her eyes had also become moist and shimmering.
…What was it like to have a wife who was so good at using her imagination?
Just as Gu Shao gave up teasing her and prepared to pick her up, Su Su suddenly climbed onto his shoulder, leaned close to his ear, and whispered, “…My reward to you is that after I finish washing up, I will wear your shirt…” She added, “Only your shirt.”
Gu Shao only felt a boom in his head, and he thought again of what happened in his office that day, of how she had looked, barely covered from top to bottom, pure and alluring at the same time.
His throat tightened, and he did not say anything else. Tightening the arms around him, he wrapped his hands around her waist and lifted her up, parted her legs and placed them at his sides, then supported her little round bottom as he carried her forward.
Su Su had carried Zai Zai in such a shameful posture before, but Zai Zai was a child, while she was already an adult.
And since it was summer, she was wearing thin clothes, so the inside of her thighs was pressed tightly against Gu Shao’s waist, making her feel a little sensitive.
Su Su buried her face in Gu Shao’s neck, too shy to say anything.
But she also did not want to come down, she just wanted her husband to carry her.
The closer she was to him, the more she liked him, his dependable feeling, the cool clean scent of his body.
For Gu Shao, however, Su Su’s body fitting even more closely against his made him feel her fullness against his chest. The real, tangible sensation left him a little short of breath.
As a young man full of vigorous blood, any stimulation would be magnified endlessly in his mind. He wanted to get upstairs quickly, to have her, to enter her.
This time, Su Su did not refuse Gu Shao coming into the bathroom with her.
Under the warm water, they indulged themselves. The caress of a lover was the most soul-stirring thing. He liked seeing her bloom for him in such a gorgeous way, and she was fascinated by his prowess.
Until they could no longer bear it.
The sound of rushing water gradually faded. The two of them stood naked before each other. Su Su lay in Gu Shao’s arms, breathing softly. Thinking of what had just happened, she did not dare look at Gu Shao. Her body was still soft.
Gu Shao picked her up again, just like he had on the way upstairs, took a bath towel with one hand, carefully wiped her dry first, then roughly dried himself, tossed the towel onto the sink, and carried her out.
He whispered in her ear, “Do you still remember what you just said?”
His voice was still low and husky, deeply magnetic and sexy.
Su Su puffed out her cheeks and poked his hard muscles. “The way you say that makes it sound like you are tricking a young girl.”
Gu Shao put her down on the bed. Su Su used the blanket to cover herself, and before she was fully covered, she could still feel his burning gaze wandering over her.
Gu Shao took the hair dryer and dried her wet hair for her.
After her hair was dry, Su Su slipped under the covers and wrapped herself up tightly from head to toe.
Gu Shao hinted that he wanted to see her wearing his shirt.
Su Su said, “Not tonight, I will wear it for you tomorrow.”
She had consumed too much just now, and her waist could not take it anymore. She did not dare provoke this wolf-eyed man any further.
Gu Shao was unhappy. “Tomorrow is tomorrow, I want today’s reward today.”
Su Su acted shamelessly. “I owe today’s one. I will give it to you tomorrow.”
During the day, whatever she said, Gu Shao indulged her. But obviously at night, Gu Shao was the one in control, the one who had the final say. Whatever he wanted to do, Su Su could not refuse.
In the end, he still took out his shirt, pulled Su Su from under the covers, trapped her in his arms, and dressed her in it.
He endured several moments that nearly got out of hand.
He still wanted to see her look from that day once more.
Su Su sat on the soft bed, clutching the blanket, facing Gu Shao like this made her feel a little shy. She asked him, “Is this okay? I really want to sleep.”
Gu Shao got out of bed and looked down at her from above.
It was the same look as that day, hair loose, a sweet and lovely beauty. But there was still something different. That day she had been standing, and one could see her long, rounded legs.
Gu Shao said, “Get down.”
“Huh?” Su Su shook her head. “Gu Shao~” Her voice was soft and clingy, carrying a hint of pleading.
Gu Shao curled his lips. “Or do you want me to carry you down?”
Su Su glared at him, then slowly got off the bed. Unlike the day she had teased him, today she felt a bit passive and uneasy, tugging her shirt down.
Gu Shao grabbed her hand.
Lowering his head, he shamelessly stared at a certain spot.
Su Su snapped at him, “Where are you looking!”
“At the place you said I like the most.”
Su Su immediately remembered the bad things she had said about him to Ning Ke during the day. She cursed inwardly, calling him a petty, grudge-holding man, he still hadn’t forgotten!
Suddenly, he crouched down, lifted the shirt she was wearing, gently kissed her stomach, then carried her back onto the bed.
Making her wear nothing but his shirt as she lay in his arms, letting out soft,娇媚呻吟.
…
Gu Shao had a steady biological clock. When he woke up, Su Su was still sleeping soundly.
He had wanted to wake her up so she could go for morning exercise with him, but remembering how much he had exhausted her the night before, he let her sleep. He got up himself, exercised, took a shower, then made a simple breakfast, leaving a portion for Su Su before heading out to work.
By the time Su Su woke up, the sun was already high.
Before, she didn’t feel anything when Gu Shao wasn’t there upon waking. But after having him accompany her once, waking up and not seeing him now made her feel a little disappointed.
She felt a bit of longing, wanting to go find him.
Su Su patted her face to pull herself together and told herself, “Don’t be willful, start being a good mom!”
When she arrived at her mother’s place, Ning Ke was also there. Bai Ningyue and Gu Zai were standing by Gu Wan’s bedside, gathered around Qu Qingwei.
Su Su greeted Ning Ke, “Ning Ke, you’re here so early!”
Ning Ke teased her, “Well look who finally woke up. What were you doing last night?”
Su Su made a shushing gesture and waved her hand as if calling a truce. “We’re both the same, so don’t call me out. I’m here now to take care of my little prince and princess.”
Bai Ningyue was already familiar with Su Su and would call her “Auntie” even without his mother reminding him.
Su Su said, “Ningyue is pronouncing ‘Auntie’ more clearly now. Zai Zai, come, call her Aunt Ning Ke.”
She pulled Gu Zai over, crouched down, held him in her arms, and had him face Ning Ke as she taught him to say “Auntie.”
Then she added, “I’m determined to raise this little guy into a child prodigy.”
Ning Ke replied, “Look at his grandfather, his maternal grandfather, and his father. With such great genes, he’ll succeed even without you teaching him, right?”
Su Su: “…” That actually made a lot of sense. Then why did Gu Zai in the original story grow up into such a troublemaker? Could it be that his mother’s poor influence dragged him down?
Ning Ke’s words really hit where it hurt.
“But he still needs proper upbringing, right? You should pay more attention too. Otherwise, if I raise Zai Zai better than Ningyue, don’t come crying later.”
A discussion on parenting between an unqualified mother and a perfect one…
Ning Ke just chuckled. “Let him be. He can do whatever he likes. I’d rather Ningyue grow up freely.”
Ningyue wasn’t the type to be wild and unrestrained. Even without strict supervision, he would probably grow into a very self-disciplined person, since he had always been careful and thoughtful from a young age.
But to Su Su, it sounded like this: both the male lead and the supporting male character in the original story were raised without much parental control, yet Bai Ningyue became a prodigy while Gu Zai turned into a little menace.
You’re really disappointing, Su Su thought, looking at the chubby Gu Zai with frustration. She couldn’t resist giving his little bottom a light smack.
Gu Zai whimpered a couple of times, refused to be held, and ran off to ride his little toy car.
