Chapter 288: A Hint of Jealousy

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

A flicker of concern flashed in Su Shen’s sharp black eyes. He wrapped his arms around his wife, telling her, “You’re not foolish. Your innocence and kindness are what makes you capable of love.”

Gong Zhan was her first love. A girl’s love at her most innocent age must be genuine. Those who lack kindness can’t experience true love. Even though Su Shen was somewhat jealous of Gong Zhan’s place in his wife’s heart, he didn’t blame her. On the contrary, it made him cherish and love her more.

He couldn’t imagine the pain and despair this girl must have felt when she had to leave the one she loved to marry him. Moreover, he was sure that Gu Zi was not the kind of woman who would linger over an ex-lover. At least, once she had decided to marry him, Gu Zi had stopped entangling herself with Gong Zhan. She had cleanly cut off all ties. Knowing she could do this, Su Shen deeply appreciated this girl’s worth.

Gu Zi was worth his lifelong devotion, worth his efforts to become the only one in her heart. He believed that day would come.

When Gu Zi heard him say this, she felt warmed, but also a twinge of guilt. She was innocent and kind, but she wouldn’t love others as recklessly as the original owner of her body. Her love was based on living well for herself.

At night, as they lay in bed, Su Shen kissed her for a long time. His lips enveloped hers, his tongue probing and teasing, but he made no other moves. He just held her down and kissed her wildly, as if he wanted to devour her. His final kiss was a gentle one, landing lightly on her eyelashes, a stark contrast to the passionate ones before.

Then he rolled over to lie beside her. Moonlight seeped through the heavy curtains, casting a thin shadow over the room. When Gu Zi looked over, the man’s distinct features were slightly blurred in the shadow, but his thin lips were tightly pressed together, making his masculine aura even more intense. For some reason, Gu Zi detected a faint hint of jealousy…

The next day, Gu Zi woke up naturally. It was almost seven o’clock, and both Su Shen and Su Le were still asleep. She got up, covered her husband and daughter with blankets, then went downstairs to prepare breakfast.

For breakfast, she planned to make hand-grabbed pancakes with milk. She had prepared the dough for the pancakes the night before, so she just needed to take it out of the refrigerator and fry it in a pan with a little oil.
