pain, frowning and crying out, "Ouch"Only then did Gu Xiuming realize what he had done. He quickly let go of her hand, seeing that the back of her hand was red. A wave of guilt washed over him: "Wan'e...Meng Jinyao looked at him with strange eyes, her words chillingly calm: “Are you suggesting I dress like it’s winter in this scorching heat If you're so concerned about your gentlemanly demeanor, why not put some effort into protecting yourself You never know what I might do to you.”

Her brows were slightly furrowed, and her tone was laced with anger. She was upset that Gu Jingxi had disturbed her dream. He had covered her up, making her overheat and waking her up. Now she couldn't fall back asleep.

However, what she just said is also true. Don't say that Gu Jingxi can't do anything to her, even if Gu Jingxi could, she wouldn't refuse, after all, they are already husband and wife.

Having shared a bed for so long, we'll spend the rest of our lives together. Even when just lying in bed sleeping, do we have to be so concerned about wearing thick enough clothes In summer, it's not suitable to wear heavy clothes; you might get sick from feeling too hot.

Because of her words, the atmosphere froze at that moment. Gu Jingxi was stunned, and his fanning stopped abruptly. After a moment, he chuckled and said, "What could a young girl possibly do to me"

Meng Jin Yao stared at his face, which was as beautiful as that of a banished immortal. Even though she looked at it often, she still found it stunning. She said with a half-serious and half-playful smile, "Who knows You're so handsome, maybe one day I'll fall for you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Jingxi was stunned again, staring at her in disbelief. He couldn't help but feel like his little girl had just teased him

Meng Jin Yao saw the man not speaking, she was both surprised and stunned. She suddenly felt like what she said was a bit too much, but she refused to admit defeat. Her voice was stiff: "You are my husband, so even if I do something to you, it's normal. Don't act like a chaste and virtuous woman."

Gu Jingxi couldn't help but chuckle at her domineering words, teasingly saying: "I'm afraid the mistress has a guilty heart but not the guts."

Meng Jin Yao was speechless for a moment.

What does this mean

Doesn't it sound like he's looking forward to her making a move on him, with ulterior motives

She looked at Gu Jingxi's handsome face, and suddenly felt a little regretful. Her daughter probably took after her father in looks. If Gu Jingxi was healthy, their daughter would definitely be very beautiful.

Thinking this way, Meng Jin couldn't help but ask him: "Husband, can your body really not recover"

Gu Jingxi's face changed, and he looked at her with an unreadable expression, and asked back, "After marrying into my family, madam regrets it"

Meng Jin Yao responded without hesitation, "No, my husband, don't think too much about it. I just thought that if you had a daughter, she would definitely be very beautiful."

Gu Jingxi was stunned and then asked, "Does your wife want a child"

"what you want"

Meng Jin Yao honestly nodded, silently observing his expression. Seeing that he remained calm and showed no displeasure, she continued, "Gu Xiu Ming has a grudge against me and considers me an enemy. Although I, as a mother, am willing to let go of past grievances, I still want a well-behaved and obedient child. It doesn't matter if it's through adoption from a collateral branch or fostering from an orphanage."

Gu Jingxi fell silent, staring at her for a long time before opening his lips: "Madam is still young. There's no need to rush about having children. Let's wait another two years."

Seeing that he had no objections, Meng Jin Yao was overjoyed. A smile lit up her face, and she spoke in a light and cheerful tone: "I thought so too. Let's wait another year or two before we talk about it. I don't want to have children right now."

Gu Jingxi smiled gently and said, "It's getting late, my lady. Let's sleep. I was wrong tonight, disturbing your sweet dreams."

As he spoke, he didn't stop fanning himself. The breeze that came over was slightly cool and comfortable.

Meng Jin Yao felt that it wasn't so hot anymore, and the anger she had felt subsided completely. She responded with a "good," then closed her eyes and continued to sleep, falling back asleep after a while.

Gu Jingxi looked at the little girl's peaceful sleeping face. This defenseless appearance made him suddenly realize that he had overthought things. They were husband and wife after all, so it was fine to be casual. Being too restrained didn't feel like being a couple at all. The little girl truly intended to spend her life with him, which is why she was like this.
