Tian Hai decided to take a bold gamble. He leered at Gu Zi and said, "Zizi, you look as delicate as a flower. Surely, you need the attention of many men. I'm willing to be your lover."
Gu Zi felt like retching and quickly covered herself with Su Shen's coat, fearing that those lecherous eyes would see what they shouldn't.
Disgusted, she spat and returned to where the skates were.
But the man ran ahead, blocking her path, relentless in his provocation. "Su Shen can't have children anyway. Marrying him means you'll be a widow sooner or later. Where will you find an outstanding lover like me then?"
Tian Hai thought any woman willing to marry Su Shen would surely notice him. He was younger, unmarried, an only child from the city, and not burdened with children.
Su Shen publicly claimed he married solely to care for several children, having no intention of having more. He could deceive others with that, but not Tian Hai. Men have their pride; who would admit their sexual dysfunction?
