Chapter 264 My Heart Will Not Change
The arrival of the wedding procession brought the banquet to another climax, making it very lively.
As the wedding procession departed, the climax of the banquet passed. In the evening, the dinner began, with guests and hosts toasting each other and engaging in lively conversation, creating a very festive atmosphere.
After several rounds of drinks and dishes, both the host and guests were somewhat tipsy. Some guests, unable to hold their liquor, were so drunk that they were unconscious and were arranged by the host to rest in the guest rooms.
When the banquet ended, both guests and hosts were in high spirits.
Meng Jinyao didn't drink much tonight, just some fruit wine, and wasn't drunk. Thinking that Gu Jingxi had a lot of social engagements with colleagues, relatives, and friends, and that men usually drink more, she went back to Weirui Pavilion to have the maid prepare a hangover soup.
However, Wei Rui Xuan had a meticulous maid named Chun Liu who had already anticipated that the two masters might drink alcohol, so she had prepared two bowls of hangover soup and placed them in the small kitchen. When she saw Meng Jin Yao return, she immediately went up to ask if she needed any hangover soup.
Meng Jinyao felt very comforted. As expected of a maid who came from her mother-in-law's courtyard, she was meticulous in her work and always considered her master's needs. She shook her head slightly and replied, "I didn't drink much wine tonight. The Marquis will probably need some. Have someone prepare water. I want to take a bath."
Chunliu responded immediately and instructed the maid to prepare a bath.
After Meng Jinyao finished bathing, Gu Jingxi returned. He was drinking a hangover soup and hurriedly instructed the maid to prepare water for her bath. He then went to prepare her sleeping clothes for her to wear later, so she could rest early tonight. After all, she had been entertaining guests all day and was quite tired.
Gu Jingxi took the clothes handed to him by his wife and went to the bathroom to take a bath.
Meng Jinyao entered her inner bedroom intending to sleep, but she couldn't fall asleep. Her mind involuntarily drifted to the scene of Gu Xuanling and Chen Shi interacting earlier that day, which reminded her of her mother, whom she had never met. Although she had never seen her mother, she missed her and imagined how she would interact with her mother if she were still alive.
When Gu Jingxi returned to his bedroom after taking a bath, he looked up and saw his wife lying on the bed, her hands supporting her cheeks, her delicate eyebrows furrowed, seemingly lost in thought. He stepped forward, took off his casual shoes, got onto the bed, and pulled her into his arms.
Meng Jinyao nestled into his warm embrace, looked up at him, and asked with a somewhat bewildered expression, "What's wrong, my husband?"
Gu Jingxi put one arm around her waist and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear with the other, asking softly, "Ayao, did someone bully you?"
Meng Jinyao was taken aback: "Why would my husband ask that?"
"You don't look too good." Gu Jingxi stroked her face and gently pinched her soft cheek. "Who bullied you? Tell your husband, and I'll get justice for you."
Upon hearing this, Meng Jinyao felt a warm current flow through her heart, and a smile appeared on her face: "I am the wife of the Marquis of Changxing. Who would be so blind as to openly bully me?"
Gu Jingxi asked with a hint of doubt, "Really no one bullied you?"
Meng Jinyao gently shook her head and said softly, "No, I just thought of my mother. I heard that my mother was a dignified and elegant woman, but it's a pity that I never met her. Sometimes I think that if my mother were still alive, I probably wouldn't have grown up being bullied. They say that a child without a mother is like a blade of grass, and it's really true."
After she finished speaking, her expression darkened again.
Gu Jingxi paused, momentarily at a loss for how to comfort her. He could only speak softly to her, "Ayao, you have me from now on. Although I can't replace your mother-in-law, I can take good care of you."
Meng Jinyao was feeling down, but hearing his words eased her suppressed emotions considerably. She nestled against his chest, gazing intently into his eyes, and suddenly smiled: "Husband, what should we do?"
Gu Jingxi looked bewildered: "What? What should we do?"
Meng Jinyao said crisply, "I think I'm liking you more and more."
Caught off guard, Gu Jingxi's heartstrings were touched, and his heart trembled. Ripples spread across his heart. Looking into her affectionate eyes, he slowly tightened his arms around her. When he saw her frown uncomfortably, he quickly let go, holding her with restraint and forbearance.
Meng Jinyao asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Looking at her beautiful, still somewhat childlike face, Gu Jingxi asked gently, "Ayao, I'm so much older than you. If in ten or eight years I'm old and my looks have faded, but you're still young, will you still like an old man like me then?"
Meng Jinyao countered, "Would that old geezer have treated me as well as you do now?"
Gu Jingxi paused for a moment, then quickly replied, "Yes."
Meng Jinyao smiled and said with a grin, "Then I will still like that old man. As long as he doesn't change his mind, I won't change mine."
Gu Jingxi smiled, pursing her lips: "No."
"Then my husband must keep his word."
After saying that, Meng Jinyao leaned in and kissed Gu Jingxi's face. One kiss wasn't enough, so she gave him a second one with a "smack." She was always bold in this regard, and even if she felt shy, she would not back down in action.
If the young wife takes the initiative, how can the husband not do something in return?
Gu Jingxi rolled over and pinned her beneath him, then lowered his head and kissed her lips.
The kiss came on strong.
Meng Jinyao felt a slight pain in her lips and passively endured the kiss.
Looking at the man's handsome face, she was gradually captivated by him, bewitched by his gentle and affectionate eyes. She slowly closed her eyes and responded by hugging his neck.
Passionate yet tender.
The kiss ended.
Meng Jinyao leaned against him, breathing softly. Her clothes had been untied at some point, and her bodice was open, revealing her undergarments. Several brand marks were visible on her exposed skin.
The snow-white skin, so pure it rivals the frost, contrasts beautifully with the rosy hue, creating a striking visual impact that is both alluring and enigmatic.
Looking at the snow-white skin covered with his own handiwork, Gu Jingxi's eyes grew even deeper, and he couldn't help but continue his mischief, leaving a few more marks.
Meng Jinyao did not refuse, indulging the man's wanton actions on her body.
Actually, they've already tried this twice before, and this is the third time.
She also vaguely sensed that Gu Jingxi liked being close to her like this, even if they couldn't go all the way.
After a long and complicated process, it's finally over.
Meng Jinyao's face was rosy, her beautiful eyes were like pools of spring water, and her mouth was slightly open, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, which made people's hearts itch with desire.
Gu Jingxi's gaze darkened, and he lowered his head to kiss the corner of her eye, holding her naked body tightly in his arms.
When she couldn't see him, the man's expression showed a hint of annoyance and loneliness, as well as a trace of barely perceptible inferiority. He couldn't help but doubt the doctor's medical skills and silently muttered to himself: "Does the doctor's medicine really work?"
