Chapter 68: No… Wait Until Tonight (1)

This was what a husband should do; naturally, he hoped she would wear clothes made by him when she went out. He wanted those people outside to know that this person already belonged to someone else and couldn’t be approached.

“You can make clothes too?” Zhao Xian found it unbelievable. But thinking about it, in her era, women were very skilled with their hands in ancient times, so it was natural for men in this era to be the same.

Gu Tingshu nodded. “Yes! I’m good at making clothes.”

“Alright, but just do it when you have free time. Don’t strain your eyes too much,” Zhao Xian nodded.

Gu Tingshu agreed, “I understand!”

The two of them continued chatting as they returned to Gu Tingshu’s courtyard.

Back in the room, the servant brought out the small dumplings and placed them on the table then left with a smile.

“You eat. I’ll read for a while.” It was really boring in this era without television or smartphones. Reading books was the only option.

…

Gu Tingshu watched the woman leaning against the table reading a book, feeling like he couldn’t close his mouth.

He finished the dumplings and soup in the bowl one by one.

This kind of life was what he had always dreamed of, and he hoped it would continue like this in the future.

After dinner, Gu Tingshu took a ruler and measured Zhao Xian’s size.

Standing in front of her, he was very careful as he measured from her hands to her waist. His serious demeanor made Zhao Xian feel ticklish in her heart.

She never expected that one day she would also be captivated by a man’s charm. Well, well! Oh dear!

After he finished measuring, Gu Tingshu realized that Zhao Xian had been watching him the whole time, allowing him to fiddle around with her body. Thinking about it, his face suddenly became hot.

“I, I’m done,” Gu Tingshu said, his face turning red as he turned to leave. However, before he could take a step, Zhao Xian had already reached out from behind and hugged him silently. Despite not saying anything, Gu Tingshu’s heart bloomed with happiness.

In the days that followed, there were no major ups and downs. Zhao Xian’s daily routine involved attending court sessions, reading books, chatting with her husband about life, and the days were quite pleasant.

The only downside was that Gu Tingshu wondered if he lacked charm, as his wife hadn’t touched him for so long. He took a flower petal bath every day, but unfortunately, they always ended up just chatting under the covers.

…

One day, Zhao Xian returned home to find her husband sitting in the pavilion, lost in thought, with an expression that was constantly changing, which was quite interesting. He didn’t even notice her until she walked in front of him.

Zhao Xian raised her eyebrows and knocked on the stone table. “What are you thinking about?”

Gu Tingshu, who was lost in thought, suddenly snapped out of it and said with a dejected face, “My wife is back. I was just thinking about things.”

After spending some time together, he had become less timid around Zhao Xian. He now spoke his mind more freely, although it wasn’t yet very obvious.

Observing his expression, Zhao Xian arched an eyebrow.

“Oh, what’s the matter? It seems serious,” Zhao Xian was puzzled.

Hearing Zhao Xian’s response, Gu Tingshu looked at her inexplicably and asked with some hesitation, “Um, my wife, do you have any issues in that area?”

“Huh? What area?” Zhao Xian suddenly realized, “You mean ⊙⊙!”

“…” Zhao Xian couldn’t believe that one day a man would ask her if there was a problem down there. It was both funny and frustrating. Wasn’t it usually women who asked men about this?

Zhao Xian’s face stiffened for a moment as she leaned on the table and looked down at him. “So, are you ready to consummate our marriage?”

She was also quite distressed. In this matriarchal world, she couldn’t resist flirting. Naturally, she wanted to do something every night with a man in her arms.
