The wife he married through an arranged marriage is so sweet, Mr. Lu can't control himself.

"Let's see if he's cute. If he's too cute, I'll keep flirting with him and see when he finally tells me he likes me," Gu Zhi said jokingly.

Jiang Nian could tell that she really intended to do so.

She couldn't help but laugh again: "If he kept dragging his feet and wouldn't tell you, could you have tolerated it for so long?"

Although she is not an impatient person.

But she has always been extremely decisive.

"Do I look like the kind of person who would tolerate this? If I'm sure he really likes me, I'll give him three days at most. If he doesn't say anything after three days, then he can't blame me for saying it myself!"

"Pfft, hahaha." Jiang Nian burst out laughing again, giving a thumbs up: "As expected of you. As expected of you."

Gu Zhi laughed and said, "It's nothing special, no need to flatter me too much."

After Gu Zhi finished talking to Jiang Nian and hung up the video call, the sound of water in the bathroom also stopped.

A short while later, Lu Yanshen came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel.

When he came out, he saw that Gu Zhi hadn't turned on the TV or played on her phone. She was holding her face in her hands, lying on the beanbag chair, her fair face smiling at him.

He didn't say anything.

Lu Yanshen felt inexplicably nervous.

Trying to remain calm, I went to the dressing room and changed into my pajamas as usual.

As soon as Gu Zhi saw him come out of the dressing room, she stopped lying down, sat up quickly, and opened her arms: "Hug me. I'm going to sleep now."

It's almost 9:30, so it's barely time to go to sleep.

But even if it's not bedtime yet, he'll still hug her.

Lu Yanshen still didn't care that her legs were so good that she didn't need to be carried anymore, and obediently walked over.

Just like every time before, pick her up.

To everyone's surprise, Gu Zhi quickly said, "I don't want to be carried in a princess carry, I want to be carried from the front."

Lu Yanshen thought very seriously about what the best way to hug someone from the front would be.

Isn't that a bit too intimate?

and……

"Your leg," he reminded him.

"My calf isn't fully healed yet, but my thigh is fine," Gu Zhi said immediately.

That's what they said, but Lu Yanshen still felt it was a bit too intimate.

You have to touch her thigh.

"Hold me, just hold me from the front," she pleaded.

She quickly moved to sit a little further on the edge of the beanbag chair, her two slender, fair arms tightly wrapped around his narrow waist, her small face tilted up, swaying back and forth.

Lu Yanshen was being swayed by her movements.

Lu Yanshen was helpless.

But considering they are husband and wife, it's not really intimate; it's quite normal.

Lu Yanshen finally agreed: "Okay."

Then he bent over again.

Gu Zhi immediately changed her position and hugged his neck.

Lu Yanshen could only face her and pick her up like a baby.

To make it easier for him to hug her, Gu Zhi wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her chin on his shoulder.

Lu Yanshen dared not move his hands at all.

They didn't even dare to move their heads.

Gu Zhi's soft, fragrant scent wafted straight to his nose.

With a slight tilt of his head, his nose could touch Gu Zhi's hair.

It tickled the tip of his nose.

Lu Yanshen was focused on ignoring how fragrant and soft Gu Zhi was right now.

With Gu Zhi's chin resting on his shoulder, he had no idea what expression Gu Zhi's face was making.

Gu Zhi's eyes were already full of smiles.

She glanced at the man's ear.

Although there was no redness on her ears, Gu Zhi rolled her eyes and gently kissed them.

Lu Yanshen froze instantly.

They stopped immediately.

As for his ears, they had already turned bright red the moment Gu Zhi's warm breath touched them.

It's like it's about to bleed.

Gu Zhi was very satisfied.

"What, you won't let me kiss you?" Gu Zhi then smiled and faced him again.

Lu Yanshen didn't know where to look with his cold gaze.

No reply.

"You really won't let me kiss you?" Gu Zhi pressed.

Seeing that he remained frozen in place and did not answer, Gu Zhi said again:

"I wanted to kiss you last time, but I told you to hold back and let me have a kiss. Now that I've kissed you, this is your reaction. So you can't even hold back anymore?"

Fearing Gu Zhi might misunderstand, Lu Yanshen immediately replied, "No!"

"Huh? What do you mean, 'nothing'?" Gu Zhi was already holding back her laughter, but pretended not to understand.

Lu Yanshen's cold gaze seemed to wander off somewhere, but he still spoke the truth:

"No, I didn't hold back."

"There's no such thing as 'not giving it to a relative'."

Actually, men can be quite direct too.

She's just too thin-skinned.

Gu Zhi made up her mind.

He just loves her!

"Really?" Gu Zhi's beautiful, watery eyes immediately sparkled. "Can I kiss you again?"

She was extremely polite.

Lu Yanshen felt extremely uncomfortable.

If you're going to kiss, why ask him?

But I was afraid she would misunderstand.

"Just... just for a moment. You said you were going to sleep." He finally spoke, still avoiding her gaze.

Gu Zhi was in an extremely good mood.

She kept nodding her little head, saying, "Mmm. Mmm. Mmm."

Although extremely shy, Lu Yanshen was actually in a pretty good mood.

Ren Guzhi leaned closer and gently kissed his ear again.

He then put the person on the bed.

Gu Zhi felt she needed to calm down.

Otherwise, she would have been unable to resist exposing it today.

It's impossible to wait three days.

She stopped flirting with Lu Yanshen.

After seeing Lu Yanshen come to the bed, she obediently went into Lu Yanshen's arms and was held by him to sleep.

Seeing how well-behaved she was and how happy she seemed, Lu Yanshen's eyes softened involuntarily.

……

The next day, Gu Zhi didn't get up until after nine o'clock.

She had just woken up when she saw a message from Jiang Nian asking her to confirm the progress of Lu Yanshen's feelings for her.

Gu Zhi immediately replied via voice message:

"You night owl, are you even more anxious than I am?"

"They actually sent me a message two hours ago."

"We confirmed it last night, he really likes me!"

Jiang Nian immediately replied with a voice message:

"Ahhh, baby, I knew you'd still be incredibly fast!"

"That's why I'm asking so urgently—because I know you're always quick and your track record is verifiable!"

"But hahaha, you'll have to endure three days, right?"

"But you said three days."

Gu Zhi:

"I mean at most three days."

"If I hadn't held back in time last night, I would have blurted it out!"

"I reckon it can't be in three days."

"Maybe I'll tell you myself in a couple of days!"

Jiang Nian:

"Aaaaaah, no! I already bet Yan Jue you could last three days!"

"One hundred yuan!"

Gu Zhi:

Speechless.

"If you lose later, I'll give you a hundred dollars."

Jiang Nian:

"This isn't about money."

"As my only best friend, shouldn't you help me and not let me lose?"

Gu Zhi:

"To be honest, I really don't want to help you with this."

She was completely true to herself.

Jiang Nianhao:

"How cruel you are."

Gu Zhi smiled and said:

"I haven't settled accounts with you yet. What I told you last night, you just told Yan Jue?"

Jiang Nian:

"He came to make me breakfast this morning, which woke me up, so I just mentioned it. Hehe."

Gu Zhi:

"He comes over every day to make you breakfast. Isn't that practically the same as being together? I think you should just stay together."
