Chapter 106. Protect!
Tian Hai' s lecherous eyes narrowed as they reflected the graceful figure of a woman, she was simply stunning.
She had a slender figure, but her chest, waist, hips, and other areas were maturely curved and contoured.
She exuded perfection from head to toe, even in loose-fitting clothes, making him feel aroused.
Reluctant to leave, he wished he had X-ray vision to glimpse her shapely chest beneath her clothes.
Tian Hai sighed deeply, "Zizi, you didn't even invite me inside to sit. I specially brought apples for you, could you please open the door..."
Before he could finish, Gu Zi interrupted, "I told you I don't want your stuff. If you don't leave, I'll unleash the dog!"
As she spoke, Gu Zi walked over to Big Yellow, unclasped its leash, granting it freedom.
Big Yellow was already barking nonstop at Tian Hai. As soon as Gu Zi released the dog, it lunged toward the gate, revealing fierce teeth that startled Tian Hai, causing him to step back hastily.
In his rush, he tripped on a stone, tumbling to the ground. His apples rolled out, leaving him in a disheveled state.
Gu Zi sneered, "Go away. If you don't, I'll open the door."
At this moment, a woman who passed by came over and helped Tian Hai up. Her eyes were filled with heartache.
"Isn't this Su Jing's boyfriend?" she asked Gu Zi loudly. "You're too much. You won't even let him in!"
Gu Zi didn't expect someone to defend this disgusting and lecherous man. She wouldn't back down on this matter, no matter whose face it involved.
She didn't want to repeat the original storyline or be rumored to have a relationship with such a man; it disgusted her.
Gu Zi, holding Lele, said calmly, "As I said, if you don't leave, I'll open the door. You'll only have yourself to blame if you get bitten." She then moved to open the door, and Tian Hai swiftly ran off with the woman.
Gu Zi entered the house and grabbed a large bone to reward Big Yellow, patting its head. "It's all thanks to you, Big Yellow!"
In fact, Gu Zi was a bit nervous just now; it was her first time dealing with someone like that. If it weren't for scaring him off with Big Yellow, he might still be lingering here.
Big Yellow, chewing on the bone, then strolled over to the gate and sat down, looking back at Gu Zi as if saying, "Don't be afraid, I'll sit here; no one will dare to bully you."
Seeing this, Su Le, in Gu Zi's arms, wanted to get down, so Gu Zi let her.
As soon as Su Le touched the ground, she ran toward Big Yellow and squatted next to it, then turned to look at Gu Zi, shouting in her childish voice, "Mommy, mommy!"
It was as if she was saying, "Mommy, I'll protect you together with Big Yellow!" In that instant, tears welled up in Gu Zi' s eyes.
She wasn't someone who cried easily, but no woman would feel comfortable after being harassed.
Yet, having Lele and Big Yellow by her side made her feel much better. Just as Su Le was about to take Big Yellow's bone, Gu Zi walked over and picked her up.
"Mommy will make formula milk for Lele, okay?" Su Le looked at Gu Zi brightly, reaching for her face, and said, "Yes! Yes!"
Gu Zi was instantly amused by her. She carried Su Le in and made milk for her. Then, she went to the kitchen to boil a pot of water. When the water was about to boil, she took a large basin out.
She had already picked and washed the vegetables that she had bought this morning and placed them in the courtyard to bask in the sun. This was a tip from her female classmate; to make pickled vegetables crispy, it was necessary to wilt them under the sun before pickling.
The sun was shining brightly today. She squatted down to check that the vegetables in the courtyard were all ready. She put all the vegetables into a big basin and filled it up. She dragged it to the kitchen.
After blanching the vegetables in boiling water and rinsing them with running water, Gu Zi placed them in a ventilated area to naturally drain off excess water. She then boiled another pot of water to prepare a glutinous rice flour paste. After the paste was ready, she took a jar with a sealable lid she found on the rooftop at home, something Su Shen said she could use.
She neatly arranged the drained vegetables into the jar and poured the glutinous rice paste and a suitable amount of white vinegar into it, sealing the jar. Looking at the jar in front of her, Gu Zi felt a sense of accomplishment.. All that was left was to place the pickled vegetable jar in a cool place and let time work its magic to create a delicious dish!
...
Chapter 107. Sowing Discord
In a dimly lit thatched house in Daqing Village, a woman got out of bed and put on her pants. Her man had been away working for over a month, and she had been starved for over a month.
She had just caught up with her former lover in front of Gu Zi's house, finally satisfying her desires. Speaking of which, she was grateful to Su Jing. If it weren't for Su Jing showing off Tian Hai in the village every day when they were newly in love, she wouldn't have had the chance to meet this debonair city man.
"Brother Hai, be careful when you leave later. Don't let anyone see you."
As she dressed Tian Hai, to ensure he remembered her, she even tucked her bra into the man's pocket.
Tian Hai cursed, "You lewd woman, wanting to flirt and also maintain your reputation. Classic case of being a whore while setting up a memorial archway! "
Recalling what just happened, he was still unhappy. That Gu Zi was not easy to handle. But the more challenging it became, the more it ignited his competitive spirit. He had to win over that woman!
After returning to the city, Tian Hai went straight home. Su Jing was lying on the sofa, looking lifeless, obviously having lost money again. But she didn't complain to Tian Hai; she just said, "I don't know what bad luck I've touched. I only won a few rounds today."
Tian Hai's eyes gleamed darkly. Oh, Gu Zi, since you're not obedient, don't blame me for sowing discord among you all!
He said to Su Jing, "Darling, let me tell you something, don't get angry."
Su Jing felt nothing could make her angrier than losing money. "Tell me, I won't get angry."
"I went to Daqing Village today to give you a gift, but I didn't even step inside. Your sister-in-law doesn't respect you at all. She said that the things you bought were cheap and threw them on the ground."
'What? How dare she!" Su Jing was furious upon hearing this. "Why wouldn't she dare? She even said that if you dare to return to the Su family, she'll set the dog on you."
"What about my brother? Won't you go to him and complain?" Su Jing was so angry that she paced back and forth.
Tian Hai said, "Your brother seems to be on a business trip. I think, in the future, you won't have a place in the Su family. But it's okay, Jingjing, I'll take care of you."
The more Su Jing heard, the more infuriated she became. "That's my home! Why shouldn't I go back? You'll see, I won't let that woman off easily."
Daqing Village, Su family's house.
Su Bing and Su Li finished their homework very early today. When they saw Gu Zi busy in the kitchen alone, they felt a little guilty.
Su Bing asked Su Li to take Lele, then he walked into the kitchen, asking, "What can I help you with?"
Gu Zi looked around; the vegetables were washed, and the meat was cut. There wasn't much for him to do!
She told Su Bing, "Go and play. Just help me take care of your sister." After speaking, Gu Zi started heating the oil to stir-fry the vegetables.
However, Su Bing didn't leave. He stood for a while before speaking again, "Can you teach me how to cook?"
If he knew how to cook, she wouldn't have to work so hard in the future. He didn't want her to be so tired.
Seeing him still there and asking to learn to cook, Gu Zi said, "Then watch how I do it first."
So, he stood beside her quietly and watched as she finished preparing all the dishes.
Gu Zi thought to herself that he truly was a future leader; for a boy his age, being able to stand and watch for five minutes was already impressive.
"Help me serve the dishes. Since you're so sincere, how about you take the helm for dinner tomorrow?" Gu Zi carried two plates of food and proposed to him.
"Okay, I'll cook tomorrow," Su Bing said before going to get the dishes.
The next day, when they returned from school, Su Bing put down his schoolbag and went straight into the kitchen to help Gu Zi wash and chop vegetables.
While cutting cucumbers, Gu Zi instructed him, "Today, you'll be in charge of stir-frying pork slices with cucumber and tomato and scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Cut the cucumber slices into diamond-shaped chunks. Let me show you."
She took the knife, halved the cucumber, and cut it into thick strips. Then, she diagonally sliced the flesh into diamond-shaped cucumber pieces.
Su Bing watched and used the knife to imitate her cutting style. Surprisingly, the cucumber slices he cut turned out quite similar.
Gu Zi gave him a thumbs-up, "You have a strong ability to learn!"
Su Bing lowered his head, a slight blush on his face, and quickly finished cutting the cucumbers. Gu Zi had already explained to him the steps for cooking the two dishes earlier, so now she just needed to remind him of the key points.
"Put the oil in the pan. It needs to be hot before adding the meat to stir-fry.."
...
Chapter 108. Eager to Return Home
Su Bing followed her instructions as she continued, "After adding the meat, stir-fry it a few times, then add a small amount of white vinegar. This ensures the tenderness of the meat."
As the white vinegar poured into the pan, it sizzled, causing a few oil splatters.
Initially, Gu Zi thought to remind him that it was a normal occurrence and not to be afraid. But she soon realized there was no need.
Because not only was Su Bing unafraid, but he was also considerate enough to shield her from the oil splatters with his hand and continued frying the meat without even a cry of pain.
She proceeded to guide him, "Great, the meat can be taken out now, then add the cucumber slices and stir-fry on high heat."
Su Bing executed the tasks skillfully, showing none of the coquettishness Gu Zi had shown when she first learned how to cook. Gu Zi felt that if she could improve his physical health, having a robust physique, Su Bing would grow up to be a proper little man. Gu Zi made a secret resolution; she would buy more Guangming milk from the city in the future.
She planned to supervise both him and Su Li to drink milk regularly and engage in some physical exercises. Let the children and Su Shen exercise together! For the children to keep fit and for Su Shen, to strive for their future happy life together.
Under Gu Zi's guidance, Su Bing quickly finished preparing the two dishes. After tasting, Gu Zi praised Su Bing's cooking skills lavishly. Although Su Bing knew she was praising him, in reality, the taste was far from what Gu Zi had made. But, he couldn't help feeling encouraged. Gu Zi cooked another dish and prepared a soup, and the family enjoyed their dinner happily.
When going to bed at night, Gu Zi dreamed of Su Shen, and she woke up feeling particularly good. While Le Le was still asleep, she cleaned all the rooms on the second floor. After Su Bing and Su Li left for school, she cleaned the dining room, kitchen, living room, and other areas downstairs, humming songs contentedly.
At noon, near the pig farm.
Li Hua, like other women at the pig farm, delivered meals to Lin Cheng.
Everyone was aware of the relationship between the Lin family and the Su family. They all greeted Li Hua and Lin Cheng with smiles.
"Li Hua, your family is doing well now. That big jar of canned fruit, it must have cost quite a bit, right?"
Li Hua shared some canned fruit with the people around her, saying it wasn't bought.
"Then you're really skilled! You can even make canned fruits, but we can't!"
"Miss Li Hua not only has skilled hands but also a kind heart. She's set on Lin Cheng, and now it's paying off."
"Lin Hun didn't make Miss Li Hua's heart flutter, and now he's working as Lin Cheng's follower."
Li Hua blushed upon hearing these words and hid behind Lin Cheng. Lin Cheng said, "You're all mistaken. This canned fruit was made by my sister." "Gu Zi is great, she can do anything, and she's from your Lin family!"
Lin Cheng smiled and continued eating; anyway, everyone was praising the Lin family now.
Regardless of what others said, he didn't have so much on his mind. He came here to work diligently for his brother-in-law.
Outside the door, Jin Long's voice rang out, "Hey hey hey, our Boss Su is back today. He's eager as an arrow to return home!" Jin Long thought Su was spending quite a bit, directly hiring a car to rush back from another city. But he could also understand. If he had a super beautiful and gentle wife, he would rush back from outer space too.
Su Shen strode through the hall, with many people greeting him. He responded with nods as usual, maintaining his usual aloof demeanor.
Jin Long followed, taking some preserved fruit from Lin Cheng before entering the office.
Some people couldn't help but think, faced with his wife, even a beautiful one like Gu Zi, was Su Shen still this cold? Some found themselves getting chills thinking about it. Forget it, let's eat!
In the office, Su Shen took out the documents from his bag and organized them systematically.
Jin Long entered with the fragrant preserved fruit, deliberately eating it in front of Su Shen.
"Hmm, the preserved fruit Sister-in-law made is even tastier than the store-bought ones. Boss Su, want to taste?"
Su Shen glanced at him, his tone carrying a hint of severity, "I'm sending you on a business trip for the next three days."
After saying that, Su Shen stood up and left the office. The once-fragrant preserved fruit in Jin Long's hands suddenly lost its appeal.
"My dear Brother Shen, you must be joking. I'm carsick!" he said, "I might vomit my lungs out on such a long journey."
"That sounds rather scary." Su Shen finished speaking and closed the door with a calm click.
"That's it?" Jin Long regretted it completely.. Why did he tease him when there was nothing to tease about?
...
Chapter 109. Missing His Wife
Jin Long chased after Su Shen and caught up to him outside the hall.
Su Shen was talking to Lin Cheng when Jin Long stopped, panting heavily while patting his chest. Fortunately, Lin Cheng was here!
For the sake of his beautiful wife, Su Shen had stopped to chat with Lin Cheng. Otherwise, Jin Long would not be able to catch up. Jin Long looked at Lin Cheng and suddenly felt his eyes light up.
"Oh, my dear Su Shen, weren't you thinking of nurturing our Brother Lin? I've got a great idea—let him go on that business trip?"
They were about to finish their conversation when Jin Long suddenly interjected, leaving Lin Cheng somewhat baffled.
"Jin Long, I can manage manual labor at the pig farm, but I can't handle business trips!"
Jin Long replied, "Su Shen has handled the previous tasks. The upcoming days will involve the regular routine and having meals. You can manage that." Saying this, Jin Long slung his arm around Lin Cheng's shoulder, looking at Su Shen with flattering eyes, almost like close brothers.
Indeed, Su Shen had intentions to groom Lin Cheng. Firstly, because of his relationship with Gu Zi, and secondly, Lin Cheng was diligent, reliable, and grounded. A person of such character, with some additional learning and skills, wouldn't lack a bright future.
He felt Jin Long's proposal was indeed good and said, "That works. If you're willing to go, let Jin Long take you." Lin Cheng felt a bit embarrassed. Would this be considered taking advantage of his connections?
But since his brother-in-law suggested it, he thought it might be worth a try. "Then, I'll go. But what if I mess things up? Jin Long reassured, patting his chest, "I've heard you can drink, Brother Lin." It was said that Lin Cheng could hold his liquor as if it were water, without getting drunk.
He had a good temperament and didn't drink excessively. His ability to drink was a natural talent. And the members of the Lin family were all good-looking; suited up in a shirt and tie, they could all play the role. Lin Cheng scratched his ear, "Well, I can drink. Our Lin family seems to have no problem with it. I'm just not sure if Gu Zi, my sister, can."
With his large ears, Lin Cheng's nervousness made them slightly red, giving him an innocent and cute appearance. Upon hearing that he could drink, Jin Long thought this was a sure thing; drinking prowess would hardly mess things up.
He informed Lin Cheng, "Nothing at the dining table can't be solved with a bottle of wine. If one bottle isn't enough, we'll try two..." Su Shen glanced at Jin Long, "Then, take Lin Cheng for some learning today, and arrange someone to accompany him."
Jin Long immediately thought of Lin Hun. Lin Cheng was honest, but Lin Hun wasn't. He believed the duo would be perfect! He displayed an expression that said, 'No problem, as long as I don't have to go far, I'll arrange everything.'
With an arm around Lin Cheng, Jin Long walked inside, saying, "Enough, enough, Brother Lin, let's discuss this in the office. As for you, Boss Su, hurry home. You seem eager to see your wife. I don't want to take up any more of your time." Su Shen was speechless. He regretted not telling Jin Long to take Lin Cheng himself on the business trip.
Having finished lunch, Gu Zi quickly cleaned the kitchen and dining room. She planned to use a portion of the bean jelly grass to make the jelly this afternoon, so she did not plan to go upstairs for an afternoon nap.
After putting Le Le to sleep, she placed her in a corner of the sofa, covering her with a small blanket. She then settled herself on the other side of the sofa, resting her hands under her ears, curling up slightly, and soon fell asleep.
When Su Shen entered the house, it was quiet. His gaze immediately fell upon the sleeping beauty lying on the couch.
She was asleep in a very natural posture, her waist and hips astonishingly perfect, exuding an attractive curve.
The slightly rolled-up skirt revealed a large section of fair and smooth calves. Su Shen's Adam's apple bobbed, an uncontrollable hint of desire tinting his deep eyes.
She didn't know, that day, when she kissed him voluntarily, he spent days and nights reminiscing about it.
That touch was deeply imprinted in his mind, unforgettable.
He squatted beside the couch, observing her beautiful face, ultimately looking at her lips. Her lips were distinct, full, and had beautiful contours both on the upper and lower lip lines. Overall, her lips resembled petals, exuding a unique softness and shyness.
At the moment she kissed him, her lips gently brushed against his chin, almost making him lose control. He couldn't imagine how tantalizing and arousing it would be if it lasted another second longer. Perhaps because of his height and physique, a lightly sleeping Gu Zi suddenly felt a tightness in her chest..
...
Chapter 110. Distant
In the next moment, Gu Zi opened her eyes. She was greeted by the mature and handsome face of Su Shen.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes, sitting up hesitantly. "Su Shen, you're back!"
Su Shen stood up, glancing at the peacefully sleeping Lele. "Why not go sleep on the bed? You know to tuck Lele in, why not do the same for yourself?"
The man's deep voice carried a touch of tenderness, yet it was faint, almost imperceptible.
Gu Zi felt he was stern. Suddenly, she felt as though she was caught red-handed doing something wrong.
Hurriedly, she straightened Lele's blanket, saying, "I was planning to take a short nap, so I didn't bring Le Le upstairs." Gu Zi felt an awkwardness creeping in their interaction, probably due to that kiss.
Thinking about it made the scene from that day replay in her mind, making her forehead tense instantly.
"Have you eaten?" she asked. "I can make something for you."
Su Shen found her awkwardness somewhat amusing. As he turned away, a faint smile flickered across his lips. He ascended the stairs, saying, "I've already eaten. I'll go upstairs for a shower."
When Gu Zi looked over, the man's well-defined jaw turned over, revealing a slightly cold and severe aura.
Her heart thumped. Would Su Shen find her too impatient and get mad at her?
'Gu Zi, as I've told you before, don't rush things!' she thought to herself.
She couldn't help but feel a little depressed as she thought about it. She turned around and took a suitable amount of bean jelly grass into the kitchen.
She rinsed the dried bean jelly grass with water and soaked it in water. Then, she went upstairs to get her watch and put it on. It would be convenient to check the time later.
When she came out again, Su Shen had just come out of the shower. His face was much gentler than usual.
He changed into a black short-sleeved shirt and wore slim, casual pants, giving the impression of legs going on forever.
But did he not like her being too forward? For the first time, Gu Zi ignored him, closing the door and going downstairs.
Su Shen, who originally wanted to say something, stood still, feeling she had distanced herself from him.
When Gu Zi returned to the kitchen, the bean jelly grass had just softened. She took a pair of scissors and cut them into thumb-sized sections.
She put them into the pot, then added an appropriate amount of water and edible soda and began to boil it.
Su Shen came over and asked her if she needed any help. At that moment, Le Le called for her.
Gu Zi resisted the urge to go to Lele and said, "You go take care of Le Le, I can manage here."
Having said that, she proceeded to prepare the ingredients for dinner.
Su Shen could only go and look after Lele.
An hour later, the kitchen was filled with a refreshing scent of traditional Chinese medicine.
Gu Zi turned off the fire and filtered out the thick black juice. Then, she poured it into another pot without residue and continued simmering over low heat.
Then, she diluted the appropriate amount of cornstarch with water to form a smooth, grain-free paste. She stirred the juice in the pot with long chopsticks and ponred in the corpflonr paste
Gu Zi's technique was skillful, swiftly transforming the pot's contents into a thick, glossy gel-like substance.
She turned off the heat, pouring the thick black liquid into a large basin. This quantity would suffice for the family for three days.
When it naturally cooled down and took on the appearance of jelly, she could store it in the fridge. When they wanted to eat, it would be effortless.
He only needed to take an appropriate amount and cut it into small cubes, then add in small ingredients such as raisins, fruit cubes, and nuts.
Simply take an appropriate amount, cut it into small cubes, add raisins, fruit bits, crushed nuts, drizzle honey or brown sugar water on top—on a hot afternoon, it would be incredibly refreshing and smooth!
Gu Zi planned that after dinner, she would prepare a bowl for each of them to taste!
Checking the time, Su Bing and Su Li were almost back; she had to start cooking.
When she was about to get the meat, Su Shen came over and said, "Gu Zi, let's talk."
Gu Zi nodded. Even if he didn't come to her, after being mad, she would still find Su Shen for a conversation. She wasn't someone who liked cold wars.
At this moment, Su Bing and Su Li returned from school. Su Shen handed Su Le Le to Su Bing and went upstairs with Gu Zi.
Su Bing sensed something strange in the atmosphere but didn't say anything.
As soon as Su Li entered the house, he was attracted by the pleasant aroma coming from the kitchen. "Big Brother, I'll go to the kitchen. Stepmom must be experimenting with something delicious again!"
Su Bing's face turned cold. "Have you finished your homework? Only after finishing it can you do other things." Su Li took back the step he had just taken, glancing hopefully towards the kitchen, but obediently sat down to do his homework.
Upstairs in Gu Zi's room, the two sat facing each other, and Su Shen spoke first..
...
Chapter 111. Let's Date!
"Gu Zi, to be honest, you're the first woman I've ever been with for an extended period. If there's anything I'm not doing right, feel free to talk to me about it." Even though he had been married once before, it wasn't as close and constant as this.
Back then, he was even busier; after marriage, he barely went home a few times. If it weren't for meeting Gu Zi, he wouldn't have understood the significance of being with family.
He even used to think that if he worked hard and earned more money, Su Bing and the others could lead a good life.
He found Gu Zi's little temper tantrum earlier quite cute, but he didn't want her to hold any grudges inside. Recalling her own initiative that night made Gu Zi' s ears burn, but she still mustered the courage to gaze at Su Shen.
"Are you upset about the way I acted towards you that night?"
The man had a firm face with a slightly imposing high nose bridge. Even when coaxing someone, he carried a hint of aloofness. Gu Zi belatedly realized she had misunderstood. Su Shen was naturally the way he was portrayed in books—thick eyebrows, thin lips, and a cold demeanor.
Men like him didn't display extra expressions on their faces, nor did they have many words to spare. But his strength lay in expressing himself through actions, and she had plenty of time to guide him.
"No, I liked it. My expression has always been the same. If it made you misunderstand, I apologize!" Su Shen knew exactly what she meant and surprisingly smirked.
Su Shen also just realized how cute it was that she was conflicted about that kiss. What he didn't know was that this smile added a touch of charm to his otherwise cool features.
In that moment, Gu Zi found him overwhelmingly charming! Perhaps all men had an innate instinct when it came to intimacy between genders.
Wait, did he say he really liked that kiss?
Gu Zi's cheeks reddened as she asked softly, "Su Shen, do you really intend to marry me?"
Su Shen gazed into her eyes, showing a hint of surprise, then affirmed, "Of course. "
He was worried she might not want to marry him. He also feared he might hinder her if she did.
It wasn't that he doubted himself; a man without basic confidence couldn't achieve success. However, he knew Gu Zi was young, beautiful, knowledgeable, and smart—a girl like her would attract more than just him.
And with him being considerably older, aside from earning money to spend on her, he didn't have much else special to offer.
"Su Shen, do you know what foreigners do before getting married?"
Her eyes widened as she looked at him, her slightly curved eyebrows indicating a sense of joy.
Her beautifully curved lips lifted high, radiating sweetness and grace.
Inside, she was incredibly nervous, but she felt she needed to express herself to Su Shen.
Previously in the military, Su Shen had heard that foreigners valued free love.
Was this girl implying she wanted to date him? The thought made Su Shen's forehead tense momentarily; he wasn't skilled at this.
But a second later, he figured he could learn. He had good learning abilities, and at worst, he would strive to give her a beautiful dating experience. He smiled lightly and replied earnestly, "Dating, Gu Zi. Let's date!"
Gu Zi's pupils dilated at his words, her nose trembling slightly. It all seemed unbelievable to her.
She thought she needed to explain, yet this man was so understanding.
Nodding, she said, "Sure, Su Shen."
Gu Zi felt today's conversation was incredibly pleasant.
At dinner, Su Bing sensed something odd between Dad and Stepmom, but Dad still served Stepmom several times, appearing harmonious.
However, adult matters were too complicated for him to bother about. After dinner, Su Bing astutely took charge of looking after Lele.
Su Shen and Gu Zi cleaned the kitchen and dining area together. Several times, his gaze unintentionally lingered on her slender waist.
That delicate waist seemed like it could be snapped with just one hand.
Taking the broom from her hand, Su Shen nudged her out of the kitchen. "Let me sweep; you take a break."
As Gu Zi looked at the man—his perfectly proportioned facial features, tall stature, dressed casually but still exuding elegance and nobility
Especially by that strong masculine aura, it always made her heart flutter.
Lost in thought for a moment, she realized this was what people referred to as an eligible bachelor? But now she was troubled.. Dating, of course, involved hugs and kisses! How could she make this man understand? Even more distressing was the fact that she had no dating experience in her past life!
...
