Chapter 549: I Can't Agree To This One

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.
