Back to the 1980s: Transmigrated as the Bigshot's Pampered Wife-Chapter 105: Your Dad Isn’t Short on Money

With his eyes closed, Su Shuochi could perfectly imagine his wife’s two small, delicate, fair hands.

One holding the silver needles, the other gliding over the ribs on his chest, earnestly searching for the acupoints.

The skin her fingers brushed against felt as if the softest feather in the world was caressing his heart, making his very soul tremble.

Seeing the man shivering uncontrollably, Gu Jiaojiao said, "Su Shuochi, what are you shaking for? I haven’t even inserted the needles yet."

"Honey... you really don’t know why I’m shaking?" the man asked in a plaintive voice.

"What’s there to be upset about? I’ve been giving you acupuncture for half a month, and you’ve never shaken like this before."

"Honey, how can you compare then and now? When I first met you and you gave me acupuncture, my mind was clear of distractions, so of course I was calm."

’In truth, it wasn’t that he had no thoughts back then. He just didn’t dare profane an immortal and used all his willpower to suppress that ripple of emotion.’

"Oh-ho, so why aren’t you calm now? Have your wings gotten stronger?"

"Honey, how could you think that? No matter how strong my wings get, they’re for sheltering you from the wind and rain."

’My wife has no idea. When your heart is moved, your very soul trembles—let alone your body. How could it not shake?’

’That can’t be right! When I kiss her, she clearly trembles with emotion, too.’

How could Su Shuochi know that when his wife was working, her concentration was absolute? Especially when performing acupuncture, she was completely focused, without a single distracting thought.

SWISH, SWISH, SWISH. Seizing the moment while the man was lost in thought and not shaking, Gu Jiaojiao inserted several needles with practiced ease.

Inserting silver needles into the chest was especially difficult. The insertion had to be swift, precise, and steady—something impossible without a certain level of mastery.

Acupuncture is an ancient and miraculous healing method. It can regulate the body’s flow of qi and blood by stimulating its acupoints.

It can also expel toxins from the body. With a history of several thousand years, it is hailed as a national treasure.

After inserting the needles, Gu Jiaojiao kindly reminded him, "The toxins in your body are being expelled through your meridians."

"This is when the pain should make you tremble all over. Don’t hold it in. You can shake however you want now."

"You heartless little thing. Don’t look down on your man. I can endure this little bit of pain."

"Then who was it that was shaking in fear before I even inserted the needles?" Gu Jiaojiao said, flicking the ends of the needles with her finger.

"Ouch! Honey, you’re doing that on purpose, aren’t you? Stop making things difficult for me. I’ll confess."

"I wasn’t shaking because I was afraid of the needles. I tremble even when your breath falls on my skin."

"Let alone when your fingers touch my chest. How could it not make me shudder? Ever since I fell for you, this feeling has become more and more obvious."

"I didn’t shake before because back then I thought you were an Immortal from the heavens. I didn’t dare profane you, so I tried my best to restrain myself."

"I didn’t want you to look down on me. Later, when we fell in love, every kiss we shared sent me to the clouds."

"Surrounded by drifting clouds, luring me to lose myself in them."

Gu Jiaojiao: ...

Even when she was perfectly lucid while intimately kissing him, it was never as shocking as hearing his words now. Her heart pounded like a drum.

The familiar sensation triggered a memory, so vivid it instantly surfaced in her mind, replaying like a movie.

She quickly changed the subject. "Su Shuochi... do you think my big brother will really give up on Sheng Yueyue and focus on getting better?"

"Starting today, he will definitely focus on his health. But whether he’ll give up on his adopted sister is hard to say."

"Logically, his adopted sister has made him faint from anger several times. He absolutely shouldn’t care about her anymore."

"I used to be a reconnaissance scout. I can guess about seventy or eighty percent of what your brother is thinking."

"When he was so sick he was suffocating with despair, his adopted sister disregarded their bond and callously abandoned him."

"When he met the Divine Doctor, he wanted to get better quickly to take revenge on his heartless adopted sister. That’s why his spirits were high the past few days, and his recovery was fast."

"Recently, the Third Sheng has been sticking to you, and even the eldest Sheng brother came to see you. It made him fantasize that his adopted sister would one day rely on him, too."

"That’s why his excessive worrying has kept his body from improving. It’s because he’s lost in his wild thoughts all day and can’t pull himself out."

"It’s like on a sun-drenched day, a person is walking down the street, originally in a very pleasant mood." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"But as he walks, he starts thinking more and more, and all sorts of negative emotions take over his state of mind."

"The once-clear sky ends up being covered by the gloom in his mind."

"Holy crap. Based on your analysis, he’s still going to be a problem even after we cure him!"

"No one can say for sure what will happen in the future. But are we really going to be afraid of Gu Jinghua?" Su Shuochi said, exuding an aura of dominance.

"It’s not a question of being afraid. It’s just that when I think about how I personally snatched this person back from King Yan..."

"...and now he’s going to protect Sheng Yueyue, it just feels... off-putting. But like you said, we’re not afraid of him."

"Right. From now on, you have me, so you don’t have to be afraid of anyone. Honey, you called him Mr. Sheng today. Does that mean you’ve forgiven him?"

"It’s not a matter of forgiveness. I never had any beef with him to begin with. Before his adopted daughter was reincarnated, she came to me in a dream and said the grudges between them were cleared."

"I originally didn’t want any more contact with the Sheng family, but by a strange twist of fate, I kept running into Mrs. Sheng."

"And you said yourself that the Third Sheng likes to stick to me. Since we’re basically strangers getting to know each other, it’s always good to make another friend."

"Besides, this body did receive their kindness. And Mr. Sheng’s character isn’t bad. He shed blood for his country and his people, which is worthy of my respect."

"My wife is so righteous. Your magnanimity awes me. I think I love you even more today~"

Speaking of Mr. Sheng, who Gu Jiaojiao and her husband were just discussing, he was concerned about his biological daughter’s feelings.

He and Sheng Shiwu had been riding their bikes home together, but the father and son split up as they neared their house.

"Xiao Wu, you have so many snacks with you. Sell some to me. I’ll take them to your grandpa to try."

"Dad, if you just want one pack, I don’t have to charge you. But if you want a lot, you definitely have to pay me."

Sheng Shiwu wasn’t as cunning as his father. He simply thought his dad wanted to go see his grandpa.

"Your cousins like spicy strips, so I’ll buy ten packs. And... those ham sausages, I’ll take ten packs of those, too. You can go to the Su family’s place tomorrow at noon to buy more."

"Hehe, then I’ll give you eleven packs and just charge you for ten."

"No need. Your dad isn’t short on cash. When you get back, don’t say I went to Grandpa’s place. If your mom asks, just say you don’t know."

"Oh, right! This morning I told Mom I was going to a classmate’s house to eat. Dad, when you get back, you absolutely cannot say I went to Jiaojiao’s house."

"Why not?" Mr. Sheng deliberately teased his son.

"Sigh, if Yueyue finds out, she’ll definitely start whimpering," Sheng Shiwu said helplessly.

Mr. Sheng took the spicy strips and ham sausages and left. This third son of his wasn’t exactly stupid, just a bit naive.

Old Sir Sheng was just about to return to his room to rest when he saw his eldest son arrive. "Liang Yuan, it’s so late. What are you doing here?"

"I have something important to discuss with you. And I brought some snacks for you all to try."
