Bab 883: Too Mind-blowing

Su Shen had been silently observing as Gu Zi shared food with her friend, clearly enjoying the moment. He remained quiet, content to let the two women talk, feeling no need to interrupt. He was happy just watching his delicate wife, never expecting her to direct a question his way.

Startled, he wondered for a moment if she was teasing him. But when he met her gaze, her eyes were clear, like a still spring. No, it was simply a question, nothing more.

Gong Xin, on the other hand, was baffled. Things had been going so well, so why was Gu Zi suddenly involving Su Shen? And in that soft, teasing tone? Was she trying to make fun of a single person like her? Hmph!

Su Shen felt a bit disappointed. He realized now that his wife wasn't teasing him but giving someone else a subtle hint. He thought for a moment, and then, looking at Gu Zi, said, "A woman who would travel all this way just to care for a man—she must want to stay by his side for the rest of her life."
