Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Big Yellow, the loyal dog, shared in their distress, crying with tears in its triangular eyes.

Gu Zi carefully ushered Su Shen inside, instructing Su Bing and Su Li to join them for dinner, and then she assisted Su Shen upstairs.

Su Shen’s wound required more than just a simple bandage. Gu Zi knew she needed to properly disinfect it.

Although the injury looked quite severe, her past education had equipped her well. She had majored in physiotherapy and pharmacy at a prestigious university before her rebirth, so she was more than capable of handling the situation.

As they ascended the stairs, Su Shen leaned heavily on her for support. His tall form pressed close to her, and she could feel his body’s warmth.

This close proximity felt both strenuous and intimate, making them acutely aware of each other’s presence.

The man struggled with his inner turmoil. He wasn’t as frail as he seemed, but he couldn’t bring himself to pull away from her, seeing how concerned she was.

Yet, as he endured the intimate contact, the attraction was both a pleasure and torture. Did this woman even realize he was a red-blooded man?

With the slightest shift of his gaze, he could catch the alluring curve of her body through her thin attire. Her exquisite silhouette from her shoulders down to her slim waist was irresistibly enticing.

They eventually reached the top of the stairs, and Gu Zi helped him into her room.

Her room was conveniently located next to the stairs, and it housed the first aid kit.

Gu Zi retrieved the kit and began the task of tending to his wounds, first removing the gauze that covered his hand.

“How did you get injured like this?” she inquired.

Su Shen’s voice was low as he replied, “One of the pigs in the farm went berserk and nearly attacked a pregnant employee. I saved her and had to wrestle with the crazed pig. It’s not a big deal.”

Su Shen lay on Gu Zi’s bed, enjoying its natural fragrance, though it filled him with desire at the same time.

The woman was unbuttoning his shirt, her proximity to him intoxicating. Her scent made his mouth run dry.

But he was too good at hiding, Gu Zi did not notice his abnormality.

He was quite skilled at concealing his emotions, and Gu Zi didn’t notice his internal struggle.

As his clothes were removed, Su Shen’s tall and well-built upper body was exposed before Gu Zi for the first time.

His muscles were sculpted to perfection, emanating raw power. However, his physique was refined, lacking the bulkiness of exaggerated modern gym bodies. Instead, his muscles oozed a seductive and appealing tension.o Gu Zi’s eyes lit up. She really liked this kind of figure.

However, when she was bandaging the wound, she noticed that there were many old wounds on the man’s body. They had already healed into hideous wounds, forming a huge contrast with his handsome face.

“What’s the story with all these old wounds?” she asked.”

Su Shen replied, “I used to be in the army. It’s inevitable for me to get injured on missions.”

Gu Zi looked at him with a hint of admiration in her eyes. This guy was a real man who had experienced a hail of bullets!

“Gu Zi, don’t you want to know what your father and I talked about today?” Su Shen suddenly said.

Gu Zi, still wrapping his arm with the bandage, looked up at him. “Tell me, I’m all ears.”

“He agreed to our marriage,” Su Shen disclosed, “and he asked me to check with you if you’d be willing to set the wedding date for next month.”

Gu Zi stopped what she was doing. Was he asking for permission? She thought that he would decide on his own.

Her gaze fell on his muscular arm. He was a man with such a good appearance and was good at earning money. Of course, she was willing.

Gu Zi nodded, “Alright, next month it is. Your arm is all wrapped up. Wait here, and I’ll fetch a basin of hot water for you to clean up.”

Quickly packing up the medical kit, she practically rushed out of the room.

Actually, her decision to bring Su Shen into her room had a little hint of selfishness. Given their relationship, and according to her modern thinking, she thought it was reasonable for them to embrace and share a kiss.

Nonetheless, speaking directly about this matter seemed inappropriate, so she tried to convey it through her actions.

However, during their close proximity, Su Shen had displayed no reaction. This puzzled Gu Zi.

His terms for marriage were that she must take good care of his three children, but did he not have any other needs?o

Gu Zi realized this might be a problem. While she had no intentions of having children, she hadn’t declared herself a celibate either.

But broaching this topic was tricky. She couldn’t just ask Su Shen if he was inadequate..
