Chapter 549: I Can’t Agree To This One

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

A rare urgency flickered across Su Shen’s usually stoic face. He didn’t want her to be upset, but he also knew that there were no lasting grudges between husband and wife. If he were to accept this punishment, would it mean he was being cast aside?

This was clearly unacceptable. His jaw tightened as he said, “Gu Zi, I can accept any other punishment, but I cannot agree to this one.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Zi’s heart fluttered with sweetness, but she maintained a calm exterior. Raising an eyebrow, she asked, “Why not? I’m already being generous by not making you sleep in the living room. Of course, I’m mainly worried about you losing face in front of the children.”

In truth, Gu Zi’s tone was playful, indicating that she was merely teasing him. However, Su Shen took her words to heart and became visibly anxious. Clearly, he couldn’t bear the slightest risk of losing her.

He emphasized, “Gu Zi, I can’t sleep in the guest room, let alone the living room. We are husband and wife; we can’t sleep in separate rooms. Can we choose another punishment, please?”

Gu Zi laughed upon hearing this. Was he really taking her seriously? She gently pulled on Su Shen’s hand, urging him to relax. Turning to face him, she reached up to touch his tense jaw, a warm feeling spreading in her heart.

How could she put it? This man was in his thirties, seemingly mature and composed, yet he was so easily teased by her.

She understood that the only explanation was that her place in his heart was significant enough to make him lose his composure and become irrational. This meant that she was incredibly important to him!

With this realization, a warm current surged in Gu Zi’s heart, slowly spreading across her soul, making her feel at peace and loved by the world.

Initially, her feelings for Su Shen were probably because of his handsome looks and charming physique. Living under the same roof with him was comfortable, and his childfree lifestyle, financial stability, and generosity were appealing to her, who didn’t want children and needed a temporary place to stay. Su Shen’s side was undoubtedly a good temporary refuge.

She wasn’t afraid of Su Shen changing after marriage; she was afraid of not being able to control herself. At first, she hadn’t planned on spending her life with Su Shen.
