Ultimate Supreme Soldier King

"Oh, right, Sister Zhang, do you have any other places to go? This place may no longer be safe." Just as Su Chen was about to step out of the room, he turned his head back and spoke to Zhang Shu.

The adversary might not stop until they achieve their goal.

Zhang Shu was taken aback, yes.

This wasn't the first time they had targeted her.

Although Thousand Hand Buddha is dead, it doesn't mean they won't send someone else.

However, Su Chen's words did not make Zhang Shu scared; instead, they brought a slight joy to her heart.

Because, she finally had a reason.

"I, I have nowhere else to go..." Zhang Shu said with her head lowered and teeth clenched.

A faint sadness was visible on her face.

With her pitiful appearance, she bore no semblance of her usual authoritative aura and instead looked like a young girl.

She wanted Su Chen to stay, but as a woman, she needed to maintain her dignity, so she couldn't say it herself.

"Is that so?" Su Chen frowned and finally said, "Then, I'll stay over tonight."

"Okay!" Joy instantly crossed Zhang Shu's face, but then she realized, was she too eager?

She lowered her head again and said softly, "I mean, would that be too much trouble for you..."

"It's no trouble; I don't have anything else planned anyway," Su Chen said casually.

Then he headed towards the door.

"Where, where are you going?" Zhang Shu asked, feeling a sudden surge of disappointment as Su Chen still seemed intent on leaving.

Seeing Zhang Shu looking anxious, Su Chen smiled lightly and said, "Sister Zhang, don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay outside your door until dawn."

Zhang Shu was a married woman, after all, it wouldn't be proper for him to stay over at her place.

Especially if her husband, Guo Hong, were to return. How awkward that would be.

Though Zhang Shu's place has three rooms.

But if Guo Hong came back... He might as well sit in the hallway all night.

Zhang Shu, ever so clever, immediately grasped what Su Chen meant.

In a tiny, mosquito-like voice, she said, "You, you don't have to stay outside... Guo Hong won't be coming back..."

Zhang Shu's words unsettled Su Chen.

The best are always someone else's spouse.

Additionally, Zhang Shu was naturally beautiful and exuded an exceptional charm.

To say he felt nothing would be self-deception.

Moreover, Zhang Shu deliberately mentioned that Guo Hong wouldn't return—was she hinting at something?

However, Su Chen ultimately restrained any improper thoughts.

After all, she was someone else's wife, which brought some mental pressure.

Besides, he knew Guo Hong.

Who knows when they might bump into each other? How awkward that would be.

Zhang Shu knew if she didn't take the initiative now, she might never have another chance.

After all, hasn't he said he liked women like her?

With that thought, Zhang Shu finally walked up to Su Chen and gently took his hand.

"Sister Zhang, what is this…"

Is it to act the beast, or the bird

Zhang Shu tiptoed, then whispered into Su Chen's ear: "Actually, Guo Hong and I divorced many years ago…"

Divorced?

Su Chen was utterly shocked.

That was the reason for his previous reservations.

Because Zhang Shu was Guo Hong's wife.

But now, Zhang Shu revealed that she had divorced Guo Hong long ago.

It turns out they divorced seven or eight years ago.

But due to Zhang Shu's special status, if the divorce were made public, it would surely impact her career.

Therefore, they only collected the divorce certificate but did not announce their separation.

This was done to preserve her career and to ensure that Guo Yuanyuan could grow up in a complete family.

Now, Guo Yuanyuan was already aware of their divorce.

Come to think of it, it all made sense.

If they hadn't been divorced, Zhang Shu, knowing about Guo Hong's fling with the housekeeper, wouldn't have acted like nothing happened.

Perhaps to further persuade Su Chen, Zhang Shu continued in a whisper, "Xiao Chen, though you've saved me many times, my choice isn't just because you saved me, but because... I like you."

It wasn't just because you saved me, but because I like you!

"If you also like me..."

Zhang Shu's words profoundly moved Su Chen.

"Sister Zhang, I like you too," Su Chen declared, pulling up Zhang Shu and heading towards the bedroom.

...

An hour later, the two were embraced in sleep.

Only then did Su Chen realize how wonderful Zhang Shu's skin was.

It was certainly on par with women in their twenties. To report errors, please visit the original post on M|VLEMPYR.

This was Zhang Shu in her thirties.

It was hard to imagine what the vibrant Zhang Shu in her twenties would have been like.

So, he was curious how Guo Hong could bear to divorce such a woman.

Sensing Su Chen's thoughts, Zhang Shu solemnly said, "Actually, I'm not as good as you think..."

"I was too focused on my work, leading to neglecting the family. At that time, when I first took office, I was very busy, almost every time I came home, it was late at night, sometimes, I would even stay overnight at the office. Even when I did get home, I was too exhausted, so I always refused him... and it led to endless arguments, and eventually..." Zhang Shu sighed deeply.

Su Chen grimaced, that Guo Hong really was a fool. If Zhang Shu didn't consent, couldn't he just force the issue?

Zhang Shu chuckled, "What do you think, with my status, would he dare?"

Su Chen was startled; indeed, Zhang Shu's status posed a significant pressure for any man.

But for him...

"Sister Zhang, are you tired now?" Su Chen winked at Zhang Shu.
