Gu Zhan came to the bathroom. Su Luo had just finished showering. The air in the bathroom was wet and mixed with Su Luo’s unique fragrance.

Gu Zhan couldn’t tell what the fragrance was, but it was attractive to him, making him feel that Su Luo was still in his arms.

Gu Zhan was in a dilemma. He wanted to possess Su Luo but not make her suffer.

The two of them had just agreed to start over, but he still retreated at the crucial moment.

Maybe he was a coward after all.

Gu Zhan thought about it while taking a shower.

His body wasn’t dirty, only a little sweaty. So, he took a simple bath. He put on the shower gel, rubbed it for a while, and then washed it with water.

However, he was a little hesitant before he walked out of the bathroom door. He couldn’t help but think about what Su Luo would do.

Would she come to her senses and not want to have sex with him and move to another room?

Or would she calm down and think that even if Lin Tian hurt her, she would still be unable to love her husband and want to divorce him?

Gu Zhan sometimes felt that he was too pessimistic. Perhaps it was because of Su Luo’s attitude towards him before that he didn’t dare to have any hope for her.

If there were no hope, there would be no disappointment.

Gu Zhan did not know how long he struggled in the bathroom. In the end, he chose to convince himself to give the decision to Su Luo and then walked out of the bathroom.

He opened the door of Su Luo’s room nervously. The sound of calm breathing came from inside.

Su Luo fell asleep.

Gu Zhan did not know why, but he was relieved when he saw that.

Perhaps it was because he didn’t need to get a negative answer from Su Luo tonight. So he could have Su Luo to himself for another day.

Gu Zhan tiptoed onto the bed. He chose one side of the bed that he had only slept on once and laid under the blanket.

He was afraid of waking Su Luo up, so he deliberately stayed far away from her.

The two of them slept peacefully that night.

Su Luo had experienced many things a day ago. She was physically and mentally exhausted, so she fell asleep while waiting for Gu Zhan.

When she opened her eyes again, she was the only one on the bed.

“Ah!”

Su Luo woke up and slapped her forehead in frustration. She began to blame herself.

How could she fall asleep?

Would Gu Zhan misunderstand her and think she lied that she wanted to sleep with him, but she broke her promise by pretending to be asleep?

Su Luo’s mind was a mess. She decided to look for Gu Zhan to explain herself.

Su Luo got up from the bed, went to the wardrobe, and randomly found a set of clothes to put on. Then, she rushed out of the room.

She was about to ask Nanny Zhang where Gu Zhan was when she heard the sound of someone cooking from the kitchen.

Su Luo walked over and saw Gu Zhan making breakfast.

“Gu Zhan, listen to me. I didn’t fall asleep on purpose yesterday. I was sleepy. I don’t know why I fell asleep.”

Su Luo explained anxiously to him, but she didn’t know what to say to prove herself.

Gu Zhan shook his head and smiled. “It’s okay. You don’t have to explain to me. We still have time. Take it slow. Go and brush your teeth and wash your face. Then, come over and have breakfast.”

Seeing that Gu Zhan was not angry, Su Luo was slightly relieved.

She went to the sink to wash her hands and stood next to Gu Zhan. She said, “Let me do it. You tasted my cooking yesterday. You know how delicious it is.”

Gu Zhan did not move aside. “I also want you to taste my cooking.”

Gu Zhan’s gaze bewitched Su Luo. It seemed that she should try Gu Zhan’s cooking.

She said, “Alright then, I’ll go and wash my face first. I’ll come back and help you later.”

After saying that, Su Luo went to the bathroom to wash up.

Gu Xi and Gu Bei also came out of Nanny Zhang’s room when they heard movements outside.

The two kids noticed Su Luo and peeked behind the door frame with their little heads.

Su Luo noticed the two of them and tilted her head to deliberately tease them, “You two little devils, what are you doing here?”

Gu Xi chuckled, “Hehe, mommy did laze around in bed today. Gu Bei and I woke up a long time ago, but Grandma Zhang told us not to disturb you and let you sleep a little longer.”

Su Luo knew what Gu Xi meant, and her face immediately blushed.

“Eh, why are your cheeks red, mommy? Is it because you have a fever?”

Gu Xi tilted her head and cared about Su Luo. When she and Gu Bei had a fever, their cheeks blushed like Su Luo’s cheeks.

Su Luo did not know how to explain to her children that she was not having a fever and was only blushing because she was shy.
