Su Shen sat up on the bed, leaning against the headboard, and began to contemplate Gu Zi’s lingering gaze as she had tended to his injuries. He couldn’t help but smirk at the idea that she seemed to love looking at his body.

It was an unexpected revelation that this young woman harbored such desires.

At moments during her ministrations, he had been tempted to pull her into his arms and kiss her. _{freёwebnoѵel.com}

However, the thought of her being a city girl had restrained him. He didn’t want to startle her; he’d rather take things slow and steady.

Finally, Gu Zi returned from the bathroom with a basin of water containing a damp towel. She sat back on the bed, wrung the towel dry, and started to wipe away the lingering bloodstains.

There was a faint trail of blood trickling down his abdomen, disappearing beneath his waistband. Eager to begin eating soon, Gu Zi closed her eyes and moved the towel lower, allowing her fingers to brush across his chest.

However, despite her efforts, she noticed no signs of arousal from him.

“Su Shen, can I ask you something?” Gu Zi inquired.

Su Shen breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed she had finally stopped her ministrations. He responded, “Of course, we’re getting married. You can ask anything you’d like to know.”

Gu Zi initially considered a direct question but opted for a more discreet approach, given the conservative norms of this era. She wanted to avoid making him uncomfortable.

She took a circuitous route and asked, “Do you have any hobbies?”

“Work,” Su Shen replied after a brief pause. “I spend most of my time working.”

Gu Zi found this answer somewhat disconcerting. Shouldn’t a normal man have hobbies that include interests outside of work?

She continued with another question, “How many times have you been in love?

Is there a woman from your past whom you can’t forget?”

As she asked, Gu Zits thoughts drifted to Su Shen’s previous marriage. They would have had an intimate relationship, as is typical in a marital union.

Su Shen sensed that her questions were rather peculiar, but he responded patiently.

Gu Zi then inquired more directly, “What’s the most intimate thing you’ve done with your ex-wife?”
