will be angry when he returns and sees the house like this."Another maidservant replied, "Even if the Master is angry, it's Lady who suffers. It was Lady's orders, and we were merely following her in...After that, Meng Jin Yao didn't say much more to Du Si Ze. They only talked about some everyday matters. She found an excuse and stood up to take her leave, taking her two maids with her. Because she understood in her heart that even if her cousin-brother didn't say anything against it again, he was still disapproving in his heart.

Stepping out of the Cha Ran Ju, Meng Jin Yao slightly lifted her head. The scorching sun at the horizon came into view. She looked at that dazzling, eye-catching golden sun and suddenly missed Gu Jing Xi, wanting to see him very much.

Qing Qiu whispered softly, comforting her, "Madam, don't take young master's words to heart. He said those things because he doesn't understand the feelings between you and Lord Hou."

Meng Jin Yao slowly withdrew her gaze and softly replied, "His words cannot shake my thoughts in the slightest. I'm just angry.

Niang said: “Madam, just let the young master’s words go in one ear and out the other. Since his words are unpleasant, you should simply see him less in the future. Please don't get angry, my lord wouldn't bear to see you upset or unhappy.”

Hearing this, Meng Jinyo's face softened. Thinking of Gu Jingxi, the corners of her mouth curled up: "Ningdong is right, if my cousin doesn't agree with me being with the Marquis, then we should just see each other less. I'm not angry anymore, let's go for a stroll first, and when it's almost time to dismiss, we'll go to Dali Temple. Who knows, we might even receive news of the Marquis dismissing.

Qingqiu and Ningdong chorused in agreement. They accompanied her for a stroll down the street, calculating the time to reach Dali Temple before its closing hours, and waited at the entrance.

On that side, Gu Jingxi was chatting with several colleagues as they walked out of the Dali Temple courtyard. Suddenly, he noticed a master and servant trio at the foot of the steps. He saw his young wife smiling sweetly at him. First, he was surprised, then the corners of his mouth involuntarily rose, his eyes filled with tenderness.

The rest of the people also noticed Meng Jin Yao and her servants. They had all met Mrs. Gu before, and upon seeing her again, they recognized her. They were very tactful in greeting the mistress of their superior, then found an excuse to leave, so as not to be in the way.

Gu Jingxi walked up to her and asked softly, "Ayao, how did you get here"

Meng Jinyao looked at him, a smile deepening on her face, and said crisply: "Missing your husband, so you came."

As soon as the words left her mouth, Gu Jingxi was stunned. He rarely heard his little wife speak to him like this. Now that he suddenly heard such a sentence, an indescribable sense of joy surged in his heart. Since they were still outside, he suppressed the urge to pull her into his arms. He just reached out and took her hand, asking: "I remember you went to see your cousin this afternoon. Is this just after seeing your cousin"

Meng Jin Yao nodded. "Hmm, I came after parting with my cousin. Is it time for everyone to disperse now Does your husband still have anything to attend to"

Gu Jingxi truthfully said, "There's nothing important to be busy with. Should we head home now"

Meng Jin Yao replied, "I don't want to go back so soon. Since my husband is not busy, how about we have dinner outside tonight I rented a painting boat, and we can enjoy the lake view and the night scenery while having dinner. What do you think"

Gu Jingxi readily agreed to her request, and immediately replied: "Alright, we haven't gone boating in a long time. However, I need to change into some ordinary clothes first."

Hearing this, Meng Jingyao glanced at the official robe on his body. Wearing this robe in public was indeed not a good idea. It exuded authority, and ordinary people would both respect and fear it when they saw him. So she said, “Then let's go home and change our clothes first”

Gu Jingxi said, "There's no need to go home. I have clothes at the Dali Temple. When I occasionally need to wear civilian clothes to run errands, I keep two sets of civilian clothes at the Dali Temple."

Subsequently, Meng Jingyao first sent Qingqiu and Ningdong back home. She waited for Gu Jingxi to change her clothes and then left together in a carriage.

On the carriage.

Meng Jin Yao leaned against Gu Jing Xi, her upper body nestled in his arms. She slightly tilted her head up, her eyes fixed on him without blinking.

The man had eyebrows like ink paintings and a handsome face. At this moment, he had a gentle smile on his lips, as refreshing as the breeze and bright as the moon, causing Meng Jin Yao's heart to flutter.

This man was exceptionally handsome, but his remarkable beauty did not overshadow his talents. He was well-read and knowledgeable, proficient in poetry, calligraphy, painting, chess, and music. He was also skilled in martial arts and archery, and possessed an uncanny ability to solve cases. He was a man of both outstanding talent and impeccable character.

Even though this person is so excellent, surpassing many men, why do some people still focus on those insignificant flaws when looking at them

Meng Jinyao was angry, yet she felt heartache.

Fine, if others can't see her husband's good qualities, let them be blind. As long as she can see it, that's enough. Her husband is radiant and brilliant, with a noble character – he's perfect in every way, worthy of her lifelong devotion.

Gu Jingxi felt she was extra clingy today. He reached out and touched her cheek, smiling and asking, "Ayao, why are you so clingy today"

Meng Jinyao hugged his neck, looked into his eyes, and whispered softly, "I miss my husband so much."

Her smile was radiant, her bright almond eyes reflecting the image of Gu Jingxi. Her whole gaze was fixed on him, the affection in her eyes threatening to overflow.

You could tell from her eyes that she liked Gu Jingxi, a lot, really a lot.

Gu Jingxi looked at her amorous eyes, his heart melted. In an instant, all his thoughts were drawn away by her, at this moment, his mind could only accommodate her, unable to think of anything else. He lowered his head and kissed her cheek, saying: "We just parted ways this morning."

Meng Jin Yao pouted her lips and mumbled, "I don't care, I just miss you." She then rubbed her head against his chest like she was being affectionate.

Gu Jingxi saw her expression and felt something was amiss. He held her body with one hand, gently stroking her cheek with the other, and softly asked, "A Yao, is something wrong"

Meng Jinyao blinked innocently: "Nothing's wrong, what could happen I just missed my husband. Seeing my husband made me happy."

She paused, as if unsatisfied with the man only kissing her cheek. She reached out, cupping his face in her hand, and her lips met his soft ones.

Gu Jingxi listened to his little wife's sweet words and was teased by her actions. He immediately grabbed the back of her head and took the initiative.

After a long while, the lingering kiss ended. Gu Jingxi looked at his wife in his arms, her eyes were as seductive as silk, her breath was ragged and she was panting slightly. His eyes suddenly deepened, he pinched his wife's chin, and leaned down to kiss her crimson lips.

The forceful kiss ended, Meng Jin Yao leaned against his chest, catching her breath. When she finally calmed down, she looked up at him again, her eyes wide with adoration, "My husband is so handsome."

Gu Jingxi chuckled softly: "This little mouth of yours, did you put honey on it today How come it's so sweet"

"Sweet" Meng Jin Yao giggled, her eyes fixed on his lips with a blatant invitation. "Why don't you try again, my husband"

Gu Jingxi looked at the person in his arms, as bold and proactive as a little fairy. He regretted once again that he had given up on treating his illness back then, otherwise, he wouldn't be powerless now.

For a moment, Gu Jingxi lowered his head and kissed her slightly parted red lips. Gazing into her eyes, there was a hint of aggression in his gaze, teasingly lingering: "Now, just a taste. After some time, this husband will savor you properly and see how sweet Ayao truly is."

For some reason, Meng Jinyao caught a whiff of danger, but she didn't dwell on it. She just smiled and replied crisply, "Sure." Gu Jingxi about it.For this, Gu Jingxi even scolded his little wife. However, seeing his little wife looking at him pitifully, he softened his heart and pulled her into his arms, softening his tone:...
