Chapter 544 A Yao is really fierce

For the next few days, Gu Jingxi was extremely busy, leaving early and returning late.

Meng Jinyao didn't take it seriously. After all, she was used to it. When there was an important case, she would get busy, but it would pass after a while.

In the stillness of the night, Meng Jinyao had already fallen asleep. In her hazy sleep, she felt someone lie down beside her and was immediately pulled into a warm embrace. Unconsciously, she called out, "Husband." Then, with practiced ease, she reached out to hug the man's waist and bury her face in his chest, nuzzling against him.

Gu Jingxi reached out and brushed aside a few strands of hair that had fallen across her face, then lowered his head to kiss her slightly pouting lips, and said softly, "Yes, your husband is here. Go to sleep."

After saying that, Gu Jingxi was also ready to sleep. He was exhausted after a busy day. But the next moment, he met a pair of clear eyes and was instantly wide awake. He saw a baby lying on the inside of the bed, raising its little head and looking at him expectantly.

Gu Jingxi was puzzled: "..."

Why is the little burden sleeping here again?

The father and son stared at each other for a while. Finally, he resignedly put down his wife and picked up the baby instead. The baby wasn't crying or fussing, so he figured the baby wasn't hungry, but would probably start crying loudly when hungry. So he took the baby to find a wet nurse.

There were two wet nurses who took turns on duty, just in case the young prince woke up and there was no one to take care of him. When the wet nurse on night duty saw Gu Jingxi carrying the child over, she quickly straightened up and stepped forward to greet him, and then asked, "My lord, is the young prince hungry?"

"It shouldn't be there yet, you decide what to do." Gu Jingxi said, then handed Wanwan over to the wet nurse.

The wet nurse took Wanwan from the house, and then saw the Marquis turn away without even glancing at the young prince. She stood under the eaves, holding the innocent, calm, and adorable young prince, feeling a little bewildered in the early autumn evening breeze.

To say that the Marquis doesn't love the young prince is not true. If the young prince sneezes, the Marquis will be so worried that he will send someone to fetch the royal physician. But if the Marquis loves the young prince, he often leaves him with them in the middle of the night. Whenever this happens, they feel that the Marquis seems to dislike the young prince.

When Gu Jingxi returned to the room, he found that the person on the bed was already awake. She sat up, looked at him sleepily, and asked, "Husband, where is Wanwan?"

He replied without changing his expression, "Ayao, did Wanwan wake you up? This little guy just woke up from hunger and was crying loudly, so I took him to find the wet nurse."

"Wanwan cried?" Meng Jinyao asked in surprise, then said with annoyance, "It's all my fault for sleeping too soundly and not hearing it."

Gu Jingxi replied, "I took him out as soon as he started crying, so it's normal that you didn't hear it." After saying that, he changed the subject, "Ayao, it's getting late, let's get some rest. There will be a wet nurse to take care of us tonight."

Meng Jinyao, unsuspecting, said, "Well, let's rest early then. Husband must be exhausted to come back so late."

Gu Jingxi got into bed and looked at his wife, who had woken up. She was charming and beautiful, and her eyes seemed to speak volumes. When she looked at him with a smile, she seemed to have a thousand kinds of tenderness. He suddenly felt awake again and leaned down to kiss her red lips.

Meng Jinyao suddenly opened her eyes wide, feeling sorry for his body and only wanting him to rest. She quickly pushed him away and said softly, "Husband, you have been busy with official duties lately and must be very tired. You should rest well tonight. If you keep making a fuss so late, you won't be able to get up tomorrow."

Gu Jingxi looked at her with a resentful gaze: "Ayao, do you think your husband is inadequate?"

Meng Jinyao said helplessly, "Husband, I didn't think that way. I'm just worried about your health."

"So you still think your husband is no good." As Gu Jingxi spoke, he reached out to untie her sash, lowered his head, and placed his lips on her neck. The warm breath made her tremble slightly. Then he heard the man's deep, husky voice say, "Ayao, take a good look and see if your husband is good or not."

Meng Jinyao was originally just worried that he would get tired, but she never expected that he would overthink things. Now that she heard his words, she immediately stopped worrying about him and took the initiative. She pushed him away and, while he was still stunned, she turned over and sat on his waist and abdomen.

Gu Jingxi was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "So Ayao likes it this way, then I won't move."

Meng Jinyao looked down at him and saw him lying there obediently, the collar of his nightgown slightly open, revealing his fair and well-defined chest. He looked at her with a smile in his eyes, as if he were ready to be taken.

Seeing this, Meng Jinyao swallowed hard.

The adjective "beauty that is pleasing to the eye" is not limited to women; it can also be used to describe men.

Meng Jinyao wasn't intimidated. After all, she had made up her mind not to worry about whether he was tired, so she went all out. But slowly she started to feel a little overwhelmed. Looking at the still energetic man, she asked softly, "Husband, aren't you tired?"

Gu Jingxi looked completely innocent: "It's not like I'm the one doing the work, so how could I be tired? Is Ayao tired? Well, it's normal for women to get tired since they're not as strong as men. Why don't you let me take over?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Jinyao immediately perked up again.

The word "no" is something that not only men cannot bear to hear, but women cannot bear to hear either. If she nods, wouldn't that be admitting that she is not good enough?

She felt that she had to sleep with him and subdue him tonight, no matter what!

She gritted her teeth and said, "My husband, I'm not tired."

After an unknown amount of time, Meng Jinyao was truly exhausted, feeling as if her back no longer belonged to her. She couldn't understand why she was the one who was tired when her husband was in charge, and why she was the one who was tired when she was in charge, and why she was even more tired when she was in charge.

Seeing the beads of sweat on her forehead, indicating she was exhausted, Gu Jingxi finally admitted defeat: "Our Yao is really strong. I'm tired and sleepy. How about we go to sleep first and continue tomorrow night? What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Jinyao perked up again, but thinking of her sore and tired back, she gave up. She raised her chin slightly, looking arrogant: "I already told you it was getting late and not to mess around, but you wouldn't listen. Now you know you're tired? If you can't get up tomorrow, I won't wake you. Just wait to be late for the court assembly and get punished by the Emperor."

Gu Jingxi smiled, his eyes filled with doting affection as he looked at her. He replied, "Ayao is right. It was my fault. I shouldn't have made such a fuss. Let's go to sleep now." With that, he turned over and placed his wife, who was nestled in his arms, on the bed. He stroked her little face, then moved his hand down to her waist, gently massaging it.

Meng Jinyao yawned. Exhausted and sleepy, she relaxed and was about to fall asleep. In her hazy state, she seemed to hear a man chuckle in her ear: "This little girl is quite proud. She even has to be so competitive about this kind of thing."
