Su Shen closed his eyes and imagined the soft touch of the woman’s delicate hands. His breathing gradually intensified, and a tingling sensation spread throughout his body with a heavy gasp, but in that moment, clarity returned to his eyes.

In the yard, the two brothers who had just returned from school were gathered around two brand-new bicycles, inspecting them closely.

Seeing Gu Zi come out, Su Li couldn’t contain his excitement and asked,

“Stepmom, is this what Dad got us?”

Gu Zi noticed the bicycles only then. Su Shen’s generosity indeed carried a strong hint of wealth.

In this era, those who rode bicycles weren’t ordinary people. Yet, Su Shen had purchased two at once!

“It seems so. It’ll be much more convenient for you to ride to and from school,” Gu Zi smiled.

At this time, Su Shen walked out and walked to Gu Zits side. He said to the brothers, , “After school from now on, you’ll learn how to ride these bicycles.” The brothers nodded in agreement, eagerly touching and feeling the bicycles.

Su Li could already imagine himself riding confidently into the school’s bicycle shed!

Watching the bicycles before him, Su Bing admired Su Shen even more. When he grew up, he also wanted to become a capable person like Dad and provide the best for his family.

Gu Zi raised her eyes, looking at the man beside her. He was tall and well-built, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist.

He had just taken a shower and was wearing a white singlet. Some of the water droplets on his hair slid down his well-defined face, while others fell on his sexy collarbone and chest.

This unexpectedly appealing sight stirred something in her!

He was just talking to the kids, but suddenly turned to her. The play of light and shadow in his eyes made the atmosphere inexplicably flirtatious.

“I’ll take you for a ride and demonstrate to Su Bing and the others how to ride a bicycle,” Su Shen said in a low voice.

Looking at the woman’s reddened face, he could not help but smile. She was so shy yet daring.

This woman seemed to only think about nourishing him, but Su Shen now doubted if she had considered what to do after his “nourishment.” His recent behavior in the bathroom might have startled her.

Gu Zi felt that there was something wrong with Su Shen’s gaze today, but she did not know where to start discussing it.

Riding a bike together with a lover seemed rather romantic! But these old-fashioned bikes might pose a challenge.

She initially thought they’d each ride a bike, so she was a bit concerned. But then she realized that wasn’t what Su Shen intended at all.

He only pushed one bike out and gestured for her to sit at the back.

Extending his long legs, Su Shen effortlessly mounted the front seat of the bicycle. Even with his legs not fully stretched, he said, “Get on, hold on tight.”

Without hesitation, Gu Zi sat on the rear seat, tightly wrapping her arms around his waist. His broad back gave her a sense of security.

The bike surged forward at a decent speed, yet it was steady.

The wind gently caressed her face, but for some reason, her face was a little hot. She couldn’t help but want to laugh. Perhaps this was what being in love felt like!

As the sun set, the bicycle drew a long and happy shadow across the fields, attracting the attention of many people on the road and in the fields.

Some people envied Su Shen for being smart and knowing how to make money. To buy such good bikes, not just one but two at once!

Others envied Gu Zits luck in choosing a good and rich man. Many were scared off by Su Shen’s strict marriage conditions, but not her. Now it was all good; following Su Shen meant enjoying a lot of comfort!

There were also people who couldn’t bear to see others happy, so their tone was very sour.

They said Su Shen was just putting on a show, after all, they hadn’t obtained the marriage certificate yet.

They said after she registered her marriage, Gu Zi would also become an old woman. She would do laundry, cook, and take care of the children at home every day.

And they claimed Gu Zi had ulterior motives, coveting Su Shen’s wealth. As soon as her position in the Su family was stable, she would be like Su Shen’s previous wife.

But at that moment, seated on the back of the bike, Gu Zi was content. This feeling of being in love seemed just right!

In her past, she had seen plenty of romantic dramas where the lead couple displayed their love by kissing and hugging at every moment to highlight the sweetness.

It wasn’t that such gestures weren’t appropriate, but jumping right into cuddling and sleeping together at the start seemed to cheapen the experience. Maybe it was fine, but it lacked that emotional depth.

She asked Su Shen, “Is this your idea of a romantic date?”

The bike traversed a bumpy road, shaking vigorously a few times, and Gu Zi instinctively clung tightly to the man’s sturdy back.

Reassuringly, he said, “Sort of. Don’t worry, I won’t fall, or let you get dirty..”
