Chapter 139 - 139: Drunk
“The bride looks stunning! Can the groom resist going home without a kiss? Come on, give her a kiss now!” Passersby also began to cheer.
In this era, emotions were still quite reserved. Holding hands and embracing in public was acceptable, but kissing was quite rare.
At this moment, hearing someone shout out such words probably meant they genuinely saw the sincerity of the marriage on the couple’s faces.
Gu Zi felt a warm sense of happiness. It wasn’t just Su Shen’s love that she sensed but also the simple and sincere hearts of the people in this era, all of which deeply moved her.
In Su Shen’s eyes, at this moment, she looked shy and smiling, just like a bright rose in the haze, vivid and beautiful, illuminating all the darkness in his life.
Such an image of her was deeply engraved in Su Shen’s mind, something he never wanted to forget for his entire life.
Jin Long said, “In ancient times, weddings had eight-carriage processions. Today, we’ve brought a big red celebratory car. Don’t worry; we’ll take you home, have a few sips of wine, and leave. We won’t delay your intimacy!”
Jin Long had always been someone to set the atmosphere. His good friend was finally getting married to a wonderful wife, and even if he felt queasy from car sickness, he wanted to create a sense of ceremony.
“Exactly! Let the bride and groom get on the truck quickly. A moment of passion is worth a thousand pieces of gold!”
Gu Zi was ushered into the front seat, and as the driver’s seat was already occupied, leaving limited space, she almost sat on Su Shen’s lap as the car started moving.
Initially, she felt a little awkward sitting so close, and then her legs started feeling numb, so she moved inadvertently.
Su Shen held her, his voice low near her ear, “Don’t move, sit still.”
Gu Zi sensed an inexplicable sense of danger and didn’t dare to fidget anymore.
As the car arrived at the Su family home, everyone surrounded them and entered the house. Jin Long had prepared two bottles of fine wine placed on a low table along with glasses, two red cups obviously intended for the newlyweds.
“We won’t drink much, just for the celebration. Each person at the table will raise a toast to the newlyweds and then leave. How about it?”
The others agreed one after another, and at this point, Su Shen had no reason to refuse.
He said, “I’ll drink Gu Zi’s wine for her. Come.”
He proposed, drinking a glass himself.
Jin Long squinted and said, “That’s fine. Let me toast you first, wishing you a harmonious marriage and blessed with many children!”
After Jin Long drank, the others also toasted one by one. Gu Zi was a bit worried that Su Shen might get drunk, but Li Zhu assured her that Su Shen had a good tolerance and wouldn’t easily get drunk, which made her feel relieved.
When everyone left the Su family house, they all had expectant smiles on their faces. Li Zhu felt that something wasn’t right.
Someone patted Jin Long on the shoulder, saying, “Brother Jin Long, you’ve planned this well. Just a sip of drunkenness, and nobody will be fully alert!”
Jin Long flipped his middle-parted hair, hands on hips, “Of course. Su Shen is so aloof. It’s not good to neglect his wife.”
Li Zhu felt betrayed, pointing at them, “How could you spike Brother Su Shen’s drink! ”
Jin Long patted his shoulder, “You young fella, what do you understand? I’m helping your Brother Su Shen; you don’t need to worry about it.”
On the couch, Su Shen sat with a furrowed brow, feeling a sudden heat in his body.
He immediately understood that Jin Long had tampered with the alcohol. This was the so-called assist? Damn it!
Seeing him uncomfortable, Gu Zi came over to support him. “Su Shen, why don’t you go upstairs and rest for a while?”
Su Shen looked at her, her features delicate, her face carrying an indescribable sense of purity. Her white shirt matched with fitted black pants was so simple, yet it showcased her perfect figure.
Her collarbone, soft chest, slim waist, perky buttocks, long legs were all on display, appearing sweet and charming.
The man’s body grew warmer, his eyelashes quivered slightly due to restraint.
He pushed Gu Zi away, restraining himself, “Don’t come closer, I’m afraid I might hurt you. ”
Pouting, Gu Zi felt a bit upset. They were married, so why was he acting so awkward?
“I… My husband isn’t feeling well. Shouldn’t I, as the wife take care of him? How would you hurt me?” Her voice sounded coquettish, carrying a hint of anger, making her even more seductive.
The flames of desire surged within Su Shen. He stood up, grasping her hand to confirm, “You’re not afraid?”
Being tall, he towered over Gu Zi, making her seem particularly petite in his hold.
Gu Zi still didn’t quite grasp what Su Shen meant. She simply nodded, “I’m not afraid of you..”
