Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation freёwebnovel.com
The evidence of Su Shen’s affection was clear from the moment he entered the room. His attention was primarily focused on the woman beside him. Hu Bing, a fellow soldier, had no difficulty in recognizing this. Su Shen had never looked at Hu Jie with such an intensity, nor had he ever defended her in such a manner.
Upon hearing the harsh words directed at her, Su Shen would immediately come to her defense. Gu Zi quickly rose from her seat, noticing Hu Bing’s lack of response. She turned to Su Shen and said, “Since Major Hu doesn’t have a preference for tea, I’ll prepare it. You two can continue your conversation.”
She turned to walk towards the kitchen, but after only a few steps, her hand was grabbed. The person who held her pulled her close, embracing her. The man behind her could only be Su Shen. Gu Zi was somewhat surprised, not quite understanding what was happening. She turned around, her eyes filled with confusion as she looked at him.
Although Su Shen had held her like this before, it was always in private. Today, there were others present, and yet he was so bold, seemingly unconcerned about the gazes of their guest.
Gu Zi noticed Hu Bing’s gaze and her face flushed. She pushed Su Shen away, trying to get him to let go. “What are you doing? Weren’t you supposed to continue your conversation with him?”
Su Shen held her tighter, not willing to let go. He wasn’t holding her too tightly, probably out of fear of hurting her. “You don’t need to serve tea. If we’re going to make tea, we’ll do it together. He’s not a special guest. Also, Gu Zi, about that letter, I didn’t know about it before he came.”
If he had known that Hu Bing would bring that letter, he wouldn’t have agreed to meet him. He was afraid that Gu Zi would misunderstand, that she would get angry. So, he had to explain it to her clearly. He had never intended to contact Hu Jie.
Gu Zi looked at the man earnestly explaining himself and felt somewhat helpless. She tugged at his arm that was wrapped around her waist and reminded him, “Su Shen, I understand. You should attend to your guest first. We can talk about other things later, okay?”
Only then did Su Shen let go of her, but he grabbed her hand again and walked in front of her. After observing her, his anxious heart relaxed a bit. At least Gu Zi didn’t seem to be angry.
