Chapter 1543: Chapter 1542: Teasing

Soaking in the bathtub, Su Yunjin had no intention of coming out at all. She had been confined to bed for a full month during postpartum recovery. Although occasionally she would get up and walk around, the strong winds and heavy snow outside meant her activity was limited to little strolls inside the house. She hadn’t once gone out. The same went for bathing.

The most she could do was wipe herself down with warm water. To be able to soak comfortably in a bathtub like now had become an extravagant luxury.

After Su Yunjin finished bathing, she still didn’t get out of the bathtub. Instead, she continued to soak comfortably inside. Aunt Liang came in twice to add hot water for her.

Su Yunjin closed her eyes in enjoyment. She had placed a layer of cotton cloth on the edge of the bathtub. With the cloth as a cushion, lying and leaning against it felt incomparably comfortable.

Not the least bit uncomfortable.

She had no idea how much time had passed. Feeling that the water in the tub had cooled down a bit, Su Yunjin decided to call Aunt Liang to come and add more hot water.

It was rare for her to get a proper bath, so of course Su Yunjin wanted to soak a little longer. “Aunt Liang, add some water,” Su Yunjin called out lazily, her eyes still closed.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Su Yunjin assumed it was Aunt Liang and didn’t bother to check. Suddenly, she felt a strong, slender hand grip her waist firmly. Startled, Su Yunjin opened her eyes abruptly, “Husband, you… why are you here?”

Su Yunjin stared at Gu Ya, utterly shocked. Gu Ya didn’t answer his little wife’s question. Instead, he simply scooped her out of the bathtub.

“Yunnie, you’ve soaked long enough.” The weather outside was bitterly cold. Even though there was a heated brazier in the room, it was still quite chilly.

His little wife had only recently finished her postpartum confinement. How could she stay in the bathtub for so long? Aunt Bao and the others had already added hot water several times. When Gu Ya scooped her out just now, the tub was practically overflowing.

Su Yunjin squirmed and struggled in Gu Ya’s arms. “Husband, put me back, put me back! I haven’t soaked enough yet!” She tried to break free from Gu Ya’s grasp.

Then, Su Yunjin froze, her body stiffening. Just moments ago, she had been fully preoccupied with wanting to soak longer. It was only now that she belatedly realized—after being scooped out by Gu Ya—that she wasn’t wearing a single stitch of clothing!

On reflex, Su Yunjin reached out with her hands to cover Gu Ya’s eyes.

“Husband, you’re not allowed to look! Don’t look!” Gu Ya found her actions rather amusing and couldn’t help but laugh at her.

He thought to himself, was she perhaps overreacting by covering his eyes? After all, they were legitimate husband and wife. Even if he did see something, what harm would it really do?

Although she thought this way in her heart, Su Yunjin still didn’t take her hands away from covering Gu Ya’s eyes. She continued to shield his gaze while saying, “Husband, let me down so I can get dressed.” At this moment, all Su Yunjin wanted to do was quickly put on her clothes. As for soaking in the bath, she had no interest in continuing anymore.

But Gu Ya showed no intention of putting his little wife down.

Instead, the corners of his lips curled into a faint, teasing smile.

“Yunnie, the floor is cold. Why don’t you move your hands, and I’ll carry you to get dressed instead?”
