Chapter 18: Have I Been Dazzled By Handsome Men?

Not long after she entered the door, an attendant immediately went to report to Gu Tingshu…

“Lord, Prime Minister Zhao has returned,” the servant announced as soon as he entered Gu Tingshu’s courtyard.

Gu Tingshu glanced at the sky and nodded. “Prepare hot water for the Prime Minister to bathe and have the kitchen staff prepare a meal.” Ordering people to prepare hot water and meals, Gu Tingshu’s face couldn’t help but flush.

Finally, he had the appearance of a proper husband, and the people in the mansion treated him with respect.

Before that, he never dared to imagine receiving such treatment.

Originally, Zhao Xian was going to return to her own courtyard, but she hesitated when she looked at the neatly folded clothes in her hands and headed towards Gu Tingshu’s courtyard.

Hearing the report from his servant that she was coming, Gu Tingshu stood up, straightened his clothes and walked to the door.

Sure enough, he saw the tall figure of Zhao Xian walking into the courtyard from a distance.

Seeing her, Gu Tingshu took a deep breath, stepped forward and greeted her softly, “Greetings, my wife.”

Zhao Xian was taken aback and coughed. “No need to be so formal. Take a look at this and see if you like it. I happened to see it when I came back and thought it would suit you.” Zhao Xian couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed.

Since she has grown up, she has never tried to please anyone. Does this mean that she is trying to gain favor for no reason now?

Gu Tingshu was stunned as he looked at the clothes in her hands, standing there dumbfounded for a moment.

“Is this for me?” Was he still half-asleep? Could this person really do such a thing?

In his memory, the most he heard about this person was how she had ousted someone from office again or confiscated someone’s property. But now, looking at the clothes in her hands, he found it hard to believe.

Gu Tingshu stammered, “I… I…”

“Just take it! I think it suits you.” Zhao Xian said as she picked up the clothes and unfolded them, revealing a stunning white outfit to everyone’s eyes, which was quite breathtaking.

Gu Tingshu naturally liked beautiful things, so he naturally liked this outfit too.

“Here, take this too. It’s too much for me. You can keep it for yourself to eat! If you can’t finish it, you can give it to the people in your courtyard.” Zhao Xian handed the large bag of dried fruits she was holding to the servant nearby.

“Okay, thank you.” Gu Tingshu felt light-headed at this moment.

Would this person really buy things for him?

“Yeah, then I’ll go back to my own room first,” Zhao Xian said, turning around to leave. Even with her back to Gu Tingshu, she could feel her face burning fiercely.

How could this happen? It’s simply not logical, and it’s not like she hasn’t seen men before.

Gu Tingshu watched her retreating figure and couldn’t help but tug at her sleeve to stop her.

“My wife, will you come for dinner tonight? I’ve already had hot water prepared for you, so you can take a bath when you get back.”

Zhao Xian was taken aback, feeling a strange sensation in her heart.

Is this what it feels like to have someone at home? Why did she feel jealous of the original owner?

Thinking of this, she narrowed her eyes, feeling really annoyed!

Zhao Xian was a little irritated and wanted to decline, but when she turned her head and met Gu Tingshu’s expectant gaze, the words she wanted to say changed.

“Okay, I’ll come over later.” Zhao Xian said and couldn’t help but fell silent.

Was she being blinded by male charm?

Returning once again to the Xianzhi Pavilion where she woke up before crossing over, Zhao Xian walked into the courtyard. Soon, the two familiar attendants came up to her.

“Your Excellency, the water is ready. Please take a bath.”
