mistress's figure, and then asked: "Where is Madam Gu""Come with me, Imperial Physician Wen," Gu Jingxi said, then led Imperial Physician Wen into the inner room.When Dr. Wen saw this, his brows furro...The next morning.

Meng Jin Yao woke up, just about to get up, but she found herself pressed against a warm body, and immediately froze.

She opened her eyes and glanced at Gu Jingxi. She found herself pressed against him, and he was still hugging her body. They were tightly pressed together asleep.

After realizing this, Meng Jingyao was shocked. She couldn't believe that Gu Jingxi would sleep with her in his arms. As for when he did it, she didn't know. It was probably while she was asleep.

Didn't Gu Jingxi secretly hold her and sleep before It's just that she woke up later and didn't notice

So, perhaps Gu Jingxi really has feelings for her

Otherwise, why would you hold her and sleep

Meng Jin Yao's heart was pounding, she didn't dare to move. She didn't want to wake the other person up by getting out of bed now, it would be too embarrassing. She decided to pretend to be asleep, waiting for the other person to get up first, and then act like she was slowly waking up. Her mind started to wander again.

Shortly after, Gu Jingxi also woke up and found himself holding the little girl. He was stunned. Last night, it was the little girl who held him to sleep. How did he end up holding her when he woke up

He became nervous for no apparent reason. He felt like he wasn't holding a soft and cuddly little girl, but a hot potato. He instinctively lowered his head to see if the little girl had woken up. When he saw that her eyes were closed and she was sleeping soundly, he let out a sigh of relief. He carefully put her down and tiptoed off the bed, acting like a thief with a guilty conscience.

Meng Jin Yao concentrated on listening to the other person's movements. Hearing the rustling sound of clothes being put on, she knew Gu Jing Xi had gotten up and was getting dressed. At the same time, she let out a sigh of relief that he hadn't noticed her waking up. That way, it avoided embarrassment.

After a while, she estimated that Gu Jingxi had already put on her clothes, so she feigned awakening, slowly opening her eyes. Seeing the man who had just put on his clothes, she steadied her mind and squeezed out a smile, casually calling out, “Husband, good morning.”

She didn't say anything at first, but suddenly she spoke a sentence, which startled Gu Jingxi who was feeling guilty.

Gu Jingxi's face stiffened, he slowly looked at the little girl on the bed, met her innocent eyes, and felt even more guilty. Although it wasn't him who made the first move, he felt like he had taken advantage of the little girl.

Summer pajamas were inherently thin, and even at night, he could see that the young girl's blouse was very sheer. Through the flimsy nightgown, you could see the color of her undergarments. He had gotten used to it and hadn't paid much attention.

However, today he stared blankly at the person on the bed. The morning light was much brighter than the candlelight in the evening, and the pale pink undergarments were more visible.

Look but don't leer!

He felt his face flush instantly and hurriedly looked away.

Meng Jinyáo noticed his strange expression, she was slightly taken aback and took a closer look at him. She found that although he appeared calm on the surface, his ears were red.

Ears getting red

Meng Jin Yao was incredibly shocked, her eyes fixed on his flushed ears. She thought to herself: Could it be because he's shy But they already hugged, and she even pretended to wake up later, acting like she didn't know anything. What could there still be to be shy about

She called out in confusion, "Husband"

Gu Jingxi feigned indifference, letting out an "um" in response.

Meng Jin Yao saw his uncomfortable expression, and her playful side suddenly came out. She couldn't help but tease him, smiling and asking: "What's with you today You seem so strange."

"Is there" Gu Jingxi asked in return.

Meng Jinyao sat up and stared straight at him, giggling: “How is that not the case You’re looking at me like I’m some kind of monster. Am I that scary”

Hearing this, Gu Jingxi lightly coughed to ease the awkwardness and calmly responded: "Don't talk nonsense, you're a little girl with no strength, what are you afraid I can do Since madam has woken up, I'll go call a maidservant in to attend to her.

He had just finished speaking, without waiting for Meng Jinyao's response at all, he turned and left.

Meng Jinyao watched Gu Jingxi's fleeing back, falling into silence. This man might one day have romantic feelings for her. She had never dared to think of this unthinkable possibility before, but the fact was right in front of her eyes.

She thought, she was actually quite pretty. Could it be that Gu Jingxi had fallen for her slowly after seeing her face every day

It's probably because they wanted to stimulate Gu Jingxi and help his condition improve. Every maidservant in Wei Rui Xuan was beautiful, especially the two head maidservants, Chun Liu and Xia Zhu. Even the second-class maidservants were each unique and charming. The rough work maidservants were all pretty as well. If it were purely based on looks, these maidservants had been at Wei Rui Xuan for so long that Gu Jingxi would have fallen for one by now.

"Glug, glug…"

A war council was playing out in her mind, but Meng Jinyao brought her thoughts back. She shook her head, no longer dwelling on the matter. A simple hug wouldn't explain anything anyway. She was his wife; she couldn't even hug him

After a while, a maid came in to attend to Meng Jin Yao's dressing and washing, combing her hair and applying makeup.

By breakfast, Gu Jingxi's mood had calmed. He showed no sign of being out of sorts, just as he always did.

Meng Jinyáo suddenly asked, "Husband, why are you up so late today"

Gu Jingxi replied, "Today is a holiday."

He paused for a moment, thinking about how the little girl had been downcast these past few days. He originally intended to attend to official duties, but now he felt that his work could wait. After all, it was only right to prioritize his wife's happiness. The little girl had married him for so long, and he had never taken her out before. Every outing had always been a trip back to her parents' home. Today just happened to be a good day to go out for a stroll, giving the little girl a chance to clear her head.

Thinking this, he inquired: "Madam, after breakfast, shall we take a walk"

Meng Jinyáo's movements of eating stopped, and she looked at him in surprise. He had never said such words to her before Although their married life was harmonious, they had never gone out for a walk together.

No matter what he's thinking now, Meng Jinyu won't refuse. What if he really has intentions, and she refuses Wouldn't that push him away She doesn't understand romantic feelings between men and women, but she understands that marriage requires both husband and wife to work together. If the other party wants to get closer, if she keeps herself distant, eventually the other party won't want to come near anymore.

She pursed her lips and replied crisply, "Okay."

Gu Jingxi saw the smile on her face and knew he had done the right thing.

Meng Jinyao asked again, "Where are you taking me, husband"

Gu Jingxi was stumped, and after a moment of thought, he still asked her opinion: "Madam, is there anywhere you would like to go"

Meng Jin Yao pondered for a moment, then replied, "Why not go to the lotus garden to admire the lotuses The lotuses are in full bloom at this time of year, even more beautiful than those in our own courtyard."

Gu Jingxi had no objections: "Good, then according to madam's wishes, let's go to the lotus garden."

Seeing this, Qingqiu and Ningdong, who were waiting by the side, exchanged smiles. The Marquis was getting better and better to their mistress. He not only bought her jewelry, but also snacks, and now he even took her out. It was just like a loving couple.in Yao asked: "So you still have the rabbit"Jingning County Princess pouted and snorted softly: "I won't give it back. Things that have been given away can't be taken back! He must be dreaming! So, I...
