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.
