After leaving Gu's house, the car drove quickly through the streets and alleys. In order to avoid the cold wind from filling their stomachs, the two of them didn't talk much along the way.

When they were almost reaching the courtyard, Jianshu called for a stop.

"What's wrong? Did you lose something?" Gu Mingjing stopped after braking, supported himself with his feet, turned sideways and asked.

"No, they are all still here." Jianshu patted the bag to show that nothing was lost.

Then he touched his nose and explained embarrassedly: "Let's walk the rest of the way back. I just ate too much for dinner and I feel a little full now."

Gu Mingjing: “…” He never thought that this was the reason.

Seeing his speechless expression, Jian Shu softly defended herself, "Isn't this Uncle Gu being too enthusiastic? He kept asking me to eat more and more, and in the end, I ended up eating too much."

Gu Mingjing got out of the car and rubbed her hair vigorously, sighing softly, "You, if you can't eat, just don't eat. Why do you have to force yourself? You must be feeling uncomfortable now."

"Isn't today's food just so delicious?" Jianshu muttered softly.

Thinking of the chicken and mushroom stew for dinner, she couldn't help but swallow again. The chicken was tender and tender, falling off the bone with a single bite. The hazel mushrooms were fragrant and delicious, and the rich broth was a perfect complement to rice. And the vermicelli noodles, soaked up so much broth, had a rich red hue. Every sip was a delicious aftertaste.

It's really a great way to eat rice. If her stomach was not so small, she could finish three bowls of rice.

Oh, if only she had a stomach as big as Gu Mingjing’s, she could eat so many delicious foods.

Gu Mingjing, who has excellent hearing, said: "..." So the other reasons are fake, it's actually because of greed.

This fact made him both angry and amused.

How many times has this happened? How many times have I overeaten for the same reason?

Every time I was taught a lesson, I would agree to do it, but what happened? After a while, I would go back to my old ways.

Gu Mingjing, who used to teach her verbally, couldn't stand it this time. He tapped her forehead and said, "No matter how much you like it, you can't eat it like this. In the end, won't you be the one who suffers?"

"It hurts!" Jian Shu covered her forehead and cried out in pain, looking at him out of the corner of her eye.

"It's good that you know it hurts. It also teaches you a lesson. No matter how delicious the food is, can you eat it like this? There will be a next time. Why do you have to eat enough at once?" Gu Mingjing didn't feel sorry at all and felt that she deserved it.

Seeing that he was really angry, Jian Shu didn't dare to pretend anymore. She quickly hugged his arms with both hands, shaking them back and forth and said coquettishly: "I know I was wrong. I won't do it again next time. Please don't be angry, okay?"

Gu Mingjing had a cold face and said nothing.

"Okay, Brother Gu——"

"Brother Mingjing, you are the best. You won't be angry with me, right?"

"Ah, Brother Mingjing, my stomach hurts so much, can you rub it for me?"

Jianshu tried her best to act coquettishly, luckily there were not many people on the road at that time.

She was already feeling uncomfortable, and with her trick of acting like a spoiled child, Gu Mingjing soon relaxed.

With a cold face, he reached out to rub her belly and said, "Forget it this time. There won't be a next time, okay?"

"Got it!" Jianshu agreed readily.

As for whether there will be a next time, it depends on whether she will still remember this sentence by then.

"Let's go, let's walk back slowly to digest the food." Gu Mingjing no longer believed her promise and decided to keep an eye on it and stop it in time.

Jianshu, who had passed the test, happily stood beside him and walked home.

After arriving home, Gu Mingjing was not in a hurry to go back. He took her for a few laps in the yard and only let her go after he personally confirmed that her belly was not that bloated.

After brewing a pot of tea, the two sat in the living room and finally had time to have a good chat.

Amidst the aroma of tea, Gu Mingjing smiled and said, "How was it? How did it feel to meet your parents for the first time?"

Jian Shu curled up on the sofa, feeling very relaxed. "It's pretty good. Uncle Gu is very kind. Although Brother Li doesn't like to talk much, he treats me very well. Overall, I had a very pleasant day today."

After saying that, she looked at someone and jokingly said, "At least it was much happier than someone else's yesterday."

After all, the latter has a "father-in-law" who makes things difficult for him.

Gu Mingjing smiled helplessly, unable to refute.

"The gap between us, tsk——"

He sighed and said, "You have to say good things about me in front of Uncle Zhao in the future."

"Are you sure you want me to say something nice? Aren't you afraid that Uncle Zhao will be even more displeased with you?" Jian Shu raised his eyebrows.

Gu Mingjing thought about it and realized that there was a real possibility of self-defeating. "Oh! Forget it, let's not talk about it."

Don't let that happen, as the treatment gets even worse.

"Hahaha——" Jianshu couldn't help laughing.

Then she comforted him, "Don't worry, your aunt is here. After a while, Uncle Zhao's attitude towards you will definitely improve."

"Really?" Gu Mingjing didn't quite believe it.

"Of course! Don't you believe what I say?" Jian Shu said affirmatively. She was sure of this.

All of Zhao Mingze's current behavior is because he hasn't accepted it yet and feels uncomfortable.

All the opinions about Gu Mingjing are not because he has opinions about the person, but because he has opinions about his identity.

If we put aside his identity as a Jianshu partner, Zhao Mingze recognizes him very much, whether as the son of an old friend or as an outstanding young man.

Similarly, if someone else were the target of Jianshu, he would also be displeased.

However, all of this is only effective during the period before and after marriage. After this period, everything has settled down and people will return to their previous attitudes.

Seeing that she was so sure, Gu Mingjing believed it for the time being.

Although other people's attitudes cannot change anything, he still hopes that all those who care about them can bless them.

Jianshu was curled up on the sofa. He moved slightly and felt something hard against his waist. He reached over and saw what it was. A box?

Suddenly she thought of something and sat up.

"What's wrong?" This big move attracted Gu Mingjing's attention.

Jianshu didn't reply, but excitedly took out the gift he received today from his pocket.

She had already seen what was in the box, so she put it aside and started opening the red envelope.

"I almost forgot. I haven't opened the gift Uncle Gu gave me today."

I don’t know how much money it is, but judging from its thickness, it’s at least her annual salary.

Of course, Jianshu doesn’t care about the amount of money, as it’s all thoughtfulness. What she likes is the process of opening the red envelope.

"Is it a gift from the old man?" Gu Mingjing thought for a moment and said with certainty, "I gave it to him while I was cooking."

There was no other time except when he was away.

Jian Shu nodded and handed him the wooden box beside him. "Yes, besides the red envelope, there is this. Inside is my aunt's bracelet. Uncle Gu also gave it to me."

Gu Mingjing knew what was going on when he saw the box. When he opened it, as expected, it was the bracelet he remembered.

"This is my aunt's relic. Is it inappropriate for me to keep it?" Jian Shu asked uneasily.

For the Gu family, the most important thing about this bracelet is its meaning.
