YM778.TV Chapter 723: Momentarily Confused
Upon entering, Gu Zi roused Gong Xin, who was sound asleep on the sofa, and led her to the guest room to rest. They had traveled from the city to attend a wedding banquet and had returned to the village to rest their weary feet.
It had been a tiring day for everyone. Their two sons had already retired to their rooms, and seeing nothing else that needed her attention, Gu Zi decided to return to her room and take a bath before going to sleep.
Just as she pushed open the door, she was abruptly pulled inside. In the next moment, she found herself falling into the arms of her husband. As his lips met hers, she realized that Su Shen had been waiting for her in the room. Their kiss was sweet and lingering, and they moved from the doorway to the bathroom, making love under the showerhead and washing away the day’s fatigue.
Exhausted, Gu Zi fell into a deep sleep as soon as her body hit the bed. Yet, the wildness of their lovemaking continued in her dreams. She dreamt of the man’s face close to hers, his warm breath fanning her face. His hand was on her breast, kneading it, changing the path of the water flowing over her body. She watched as her breast was molded into different shapes under his touch.
Gu Zi looked at him, her hand reaching out to caress his face. His eyebrows were sharp, his eyes resembled those of a phoenix, and his nose was straight. The man remained still, allowing her hand to roam over his face. When her fingers brushed over his lips, he gently opened his mouth, biting her fingertip. His tongue lightly licked her finger pad, his sexual allure was irresistible, and her moans became more uncontrollable.
Encouraged by her moans, Su Shen held his manhood, slowly pushing the head into her. With a forceful thrust of his hips, he entered her completely. The sensation of being enveloped by her sent a satisfied moan from his lips.
Later, he buried himself deep within her, thrusting and surging. Their bodies slick with desire, he held her lovingly in his arms, his head lowered to capture her lips, sucking and licking them with careful attention.
The next morning, as the day was just breaking, Gu Zi woke up feeling embarrassed. She hurried to the bathroom, changing her underwear. To avoid facing Su Shen for the moment, she chose to fight off her sleepiness and went downstairs to prepare for their return to the city.
As she descended the stairs, she heard noises from outside. Gu Zi ran out to open the courtyard door, only to find a large pile of farm produce and Aunt Zhang, who had risen early to work, standing outside.
Aunt Zhang said, “Is Su Shen up yet? I’ll help you load these things onto the car. You take them back. Remember to put the perishables in the refrigerator. Also, this basket contains sweet potato porridge and vegetable pancakes I made. Have some before you leave, so you won’t be hungry on the road. You can keep the basket. I have to go to the fields now, and there won’t be anyone at home later.”
Gu Zi took the basket, thanking Aunt Zhang profusely. “You’re so thoughtful, Aunt Zhang. You’ve even prepared breakfast for us. Just leave the things here. You go ahead with your work. Su Shen will be down soon, and we’ll load them onto the car ourselves.”
After Aunt Zhang left, Gu Zi examined the items. There were two large baskets of vegetables, a large jar of free-range chicken eggs, a large jar of duck eggs, and a small bag of home-smoked bacon. For an ordinary farming family, Aunt Zhang’s return gifts were indeed generous, and Gu Zi was deeply moved.
With breakfast taken care of, everyone enjoyed the sweet potato porridge and vegetable pancakes. Their bellies full, they set off on their journey. They had all slept well the previous night, and the car was filled with lively chatter and laughter. Despite the long journey, it seemed to pass much quicker than usual.
Upon reaching the city, following Gu Zi’s instructions, Su Shen drove to the military compound first to drop Gong Xin home. Gong Xin, carrying a large bag of braised meat, got out of the car. She had packed the meat from the banquet to take home. Stored in the refrigerator, it would last at least a week. Gu Zi watched as Gong Xin hopped and skipped her way into the compound.
Meanwhile, outside the Su residence in Jifu New Village, a military-green off-road vehicle was parked. Beside the vehicle stood a tall woman.
Dressed in a military uniform, she exuded an air of nobility and pride. Her gaze swept over the villa neighborhood. Suddenly, she spoke, “If it weren’t for that woman holding him back, Su Shen’s achievements would be far greater. I don’t understand.”
The subordinate behind her, having learned from previous experiences, cautiously replied, “Commander Su is a smart man. He may be confused for a while, but he will eventually figure things out. A man with ambitions should not be hindered by a woman, especially when you are painstakingly planning for him, Deputy Commander Hu. Perhaps Commander Su just needs some time.”
