When Jiang Jinxiu woke up again, she felt refreshed and had no discomfort. She had also changed into her pajamas.

She knew it was a man who helped her change it.

She was momentarily stunned by the sight of his handsome sleeping face.

She hadn't seen him sleeping soundly in a long time.

Before he went on a mission, she was prone to sleepiness due to her pregnancy, and he would often wake up long after she had been awake.

This time, he was probably really too tired, and since he was on her turf, he was able to sleep so peacefully.

Seeing his long eyelashes, her little hands became restless.

One, two, three...

Jiang Jinxiu was having a great time.

Before long, Gu Xichen's eyelashes began to tremble.

It looks like she's about to wake up.

Jiang Jinxiu immediately withdrew her hand and, with a thought, brought the person back to their room.

As soon as he returned to his room, Gu Xichen opened his eyes.

The sky outside was still dark, but Gu Xichen could still see his wife staring at him through the kerosene lamplight.

He liked the way she looked at him.

Because they were staying up all night to welcome the New Year, their kerosene lamps were not extinguished.

Outside in the courtyard, everyone was still playing and having fun.

"Honey, are you still hungry?"

Jiang Jinxiu suddenly remembered something and became furious, instinctively shoving Gu Xichen.

As a result, one lost control of his strength, and the other was completely unprepared.

"Bang--"

The sound rang out, and the courtyard downstairs instantly became exceptionally quiet.

Then the sound of someone climbing the stairs came from the stairwell.

Jiang Jinxiu, inside the room, stared blankly at her hands, then looked at Gu Xichen on the ground with a bewildered expression.

The two looked at each other in disbelief.

Gu Xichen quickly put on a wronged look and called out to Jiang Jinxiu, "Wife..."

Jiang Jinxiu: ...

"I didn't mean to, it's just that you're too weak!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt like she had said something wrong. Seeing Gu Xichen's surprised expression, she immediately covered herself with the blanket!

"It's none of my business, it's none of my business!" A muffled voice came from under the covers.

She never expected it to turn out like this.

She just pushed him, and it caused such a commotion!

Judging from the noise outside, the people downstairs are probably about to come up. She's really embarrassed!

"Bang bang bang—bang bang bang—"

"Daughter, what's wrong?"

"Jinxiu, are you alright?"

"Sister, are you alright?"

"Third brother, did you bully Jinxiu?"

"Third brother, open the door!"

"Third Brother, open the door!"

"Gu Xichen..."

Voices rang out from outside the door, all asking if Jiang Jinxiu was alright, and whether she had been bullied by Gu Xichen.

Gu Xichen felt incredibly wronged.

It's clearly his wife who's bullying him!

The people outside, not hearing Jiang Jinxiu's reply, continued to knock on the door.

Gu Dashan even led the charge in trying to kick down the door!

"Third brother, if you don't open the door, I'm going to kick it down!"

When Jiang Jinxiu heard that her father-in-law was going to kick down the door, she was furious.

She quickly replied, "I'm fine, he didn't bully me, you can all leave now!"

"Ah Xiu, are you really alright? Open the door and let us see you!"

Clearly, people outside still don't believe it.

Jiang Jinxiu looked at Gu Xichen, her eyes clearly asking him what to do.

What else can we do?

With so many people outside, and judging by their demeanor, if we don't open the door, we're doomed.

They'd better just open the door.

The two quickly got up and dressed before opening the door.

As soon as the door opened, people outside crowded in and surrounded Jiang Jinxiu.

Everyone was showing concern for Jiang Jinxiu, asking if she had fallen somewhere, fearing that something bad might have happened to her.

Standing outside the circle, Gu Xichen watched as so many people surrounded his wife, and he felt utterly speechless.

Jiang Jinxiu kept insisting that she was fine, but clearly, no one believed her.

But now that she's wearing many clothes, it's not appropriate for anyone to ask her to take them off for inspection.

Finally, Gu Dashan spoke up: "Third brother's wife, is it...?"

Jiang Jinxiu knew what her father-in-law wanted to ask, and if she didn't explain clearly, her husband would definitely have a hard time tonight.

"Dad, I'm really fine. Xichen just fell off the bed by himself, that's why he made such a loud noise."

As soon as Jiang Jinxiu finished speaking, everyone looked at Gu Xichen with disdain. Their eyes seemed to say, "He's such a grown man, yet he still sleeps so restlessly and falls off the bed. How shameful!"

Jiang Jinhua was even more delighted, as if she had found a kindred spirit. She went over and hooked her arm around Gu Xichen's shoulder, saying happily, "Mom, look, even my brother-in-law doesn't sleep well. You can't say that to me anymore!"

The crowd could hardly bear to watch; someone who couldn't sleep soundly could be so "confident."

He's not afraid of being laughed at for saying this, and I don't know what he's so happy about!

Jiang Jinxiu felt that her younger brother was doing something foolish again!

Gu Xilan scoffed, "You're so restless in your sleep, and you're proud of it? Let's see who dares to sleep with you in the future!"

"If you sleep with me..." I'll definitely behave!

Unfortunately, he didn't get to say his last words. Knowing what kind of person he was, Zhou Wenjing immediately covered his mouth.

She was really afraid that her son would get another beating tonight for his outspokenness.
