Chapter 61: But You Look Better

Zhao Xian looked at the two elders, “Mother, Father, if you missed us, you could come to the Prime Minister’s residence anytime.”

“Alright, alright, we would definitely come. We were just afraid you would find us bothersome,” Gu Xian had smiled, feeling content.

Her son had married well, and her daughter had become accomplished, so she had felt she was not inferior to her elder sister anymore.

“Let’s go!” Zhao Xian had said, pulling Gu Tingshu into the carriage.

Inside the carriage, Gu Tingshu and Zhao Xian had looked outside.

“Mother, you should head back now.” Zhao Xian had looked at the woman who had looked exactly like her foster mother, feeling a pang in her heart but knowing she couldn’t live with her forever.

The carriage curtain fell, and the carriage slowly headed out of the city, traveling towards the capital.

The carriage traveled for half a day, finally reaching the imperial capital around dusk when the setting sun had begun to sink.

Fengyou City…North Gate…

The Prime Minister’s carriage slowly approached the city gate. As it slowed down to enter the city, a gust of wind lifted the curtain of the carriage window.

Zhao Xian looked up and instantly locked eyes with a young man on a horse.

The young man was startled, glared at her, then rode off gracefully with a flick of his whip.

Zhao Xian was taken aback; he didn’t expect to find such a man in this female-dominated world.

Gu Tingshu had naturally seen the young man too and couldn’t help but look at Zhao Xian, feeling a pang of jealousy as he watched her gaze linger on the young man.

“Women are not good people” was something he used to say often.

“Was he beautiful?”

Just as Zhao Xian was in a daze, a familiar voice sounded in her ear. Zhao Xian was startled and turned to look at the man beside her. She saw the man looking at her with a hostile gaze, a look that unmistakably regarded her as a scumbag.

Zhao Xian coughed, and a slight smile curved her lips. “Yes, quite beautiful.”

Gu Tingshu was angry and turned his head away to ignore her.

Just as he was feeling terribly upset, he felt a warmth on his face, followed by the cool voice of the woman beside him, “But you look better!”

After Zhao Xian said this, she withdrew and sat back down with an indifferent expression, as if she hadn’t just been teasing him.

Gu Tingshu touched his face, his mood instantly soared.

She said he looked better.

“My wife, are you tired? Let me give you a massage…” Gu Tingshu said, scooting closer and starting to massage her. His expression was that of a bashful young man.

Zhao Xian looked at the earnest man in front of her. His black hair was smooth and shiny, his skin fair, his eyes bright, and his eyelashes long… His face was handsome, his small eyes attractive, and his neck beautiful… She suddenly couldn’t help but swallow.

Why did it feel so hot?

She quietly looked away, tugging at her collar without saying anything.

She thought to herself that in this matriarchal world, women must become infatuated when they see a man they like!

After massaging her legs, Gu Tingshu couldn’t help but look up at her and ask, “Does it feel good?”

Zhao Xian nodded, “Mm!”

Gu Tingshu noticed that his wife seemed different today. He couldn’t help but lean closer and reach out to touch her forehead.

“Wife, your wound isn’t infected, is it? Your forehead feels so hot.”

Zhao Xian now had an urge to curse but didn’t know if she should.

Speaking of which, her body in this matriarchal world was quite normal. Now that a man was so close to her, it wouldn’t be natural if she didn’t react, right?

“It’s fine, just a bit hot. You should sit back.”

“Oh, is it hot?” Gu Tingshu didn’t feel hot, but she did seem quite hot.

He naturally didn’t think that Zhao Xian was just feeling a bit of lust, wanting to do something to him.
