Chapter 373 My Husband Is Not Young
After all that trouble, it was already late at night.
Meng Jinyao was exhausted, feeling as if her body no longer belonged to her. She gasped for breath with her mouth slightly open, like a stranded fish greedily breathing in air.
Gu Jingxi looked at the person in his arms, whose face was flushed, eyes were misty, and who was looking at him with seductive eyes.
This appearance is so alluring, it makes one's heart itch.
Gu Jingxi was distracted by what he saw, and suddenly felt a certain impulse, but he did not take any further action. He took a deep breath and suppressed the restlessness that surged within him again.
If he continues like this, then he really is a beast.
After a long while, Meng Jinyao finally calmed down. She had just sweated and was still feeling unwell. Coupled with her fatigue, she didn't even want to move, let alone have someone prepare water for her to take a bath.
She looked up at the man holding her and saw him looking at her tenderly and affectionately. She silently reached out and pinched his waist.
Gu Jingxi hissed softly, caught off guard by the pinch. He asked blankly, "Ayao, why did you pinch me?"
Meng Jinyao gently shook her head: "It's nothing, I just wanted to confirm if I'm dreaming. If it hurts, then it's not a dream."
Her husband, who had suffered from a hidden illness for over ten years, suddenly had marital relations with her one day and told her that he was cured. It felt like a dream, and even after it happened three times, she still felt it was unreal.
She had accepted her husband's hidden illness from the beginning and had no expectations for sexual intimacy. Occasionally, her husband would take the initiative to have sex with her in other ways. She felt that this was no different from that of a normal couple, except that she wouldn't get pregnant.
The current outcome is an unexpected joy for them. They can have their own children, and their husbands will no longer be gossiped about behind their backs. Once they have children, they will completely shut those people up.
Gu Jingxi was pinched by her, and after hearing her explanation, he chuckled helplessly: "So you pinch your husband?"
Meng Jinyao, though not entirely convinced of her own righteousness, retorted: "But if I pinch myself, it's me who will feel the pain."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingxi was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "Then you should pinch your husband instead."
Meng Jinyao rubbed the spot where he had been pinched, then asked him, "Husband, when did you recover?"
Gu Jingxi replied, "While on the ship."
That old quack doctor Wen actually has quite a knack for treating illnesses. The book he gave him helped him after he tried it, and the time he spent taking medicine was shortened.
Upon hearing this, Meng Jinyao immediately recalled how this man had been unruly on the ship, tormenting her several times. Sometimes he would count stars with her by the window, and other times he would pin her against the door, making it easy for her to hear the voices of people outside.
When this man goes crazy, he can really drive you to tears.
Now she seems to understand. On the ship, the bed was probably too small to make things convenient, so they tried to torment her in other ways.
Gu Jingxi stroked her cheek and kissed her lips. His gaze grew deeper as he looked at her, and he asked in a low, husky voice, "Ayao, you said not long ago that you would do as I said you would do by the window in the attic?"
Meng Jinyao: "???"
She asked in bewilderment, "Are you really Gu Jingxi, or some lecherous scoundrel?"
Gu Jingxi chuckled softly: "We're together every day. Don't you know whether I'm Gu Jingxi or not?"
Meng Jinyao glared at him and accused him, "You weren't like this before. Before, you wouldn't even look at me when you saw that my nightgown was too thin. Now you dare to bully me like this."
"What man is truly upright?"
Gu Jingxi smiled gently and lowered his head to kiss her cheek again, as if he couldn't get enough of her. Seeing that she was glaring at him, he stopped teasing her and then said, "If she is both your sweetheart and your wife, and you still act like a monk, not looking at, not touching, and not listening to anything improper, then that's definitely not normal. Either you're gay, or you're just pretending and not wanting to waste your energy on that."
Upon hearing this, Meng Jinyao recalled that even though her husband was in poor health, he still loved to be close to her, loved to kiss her and hug her, and loved to tell her stories about cases.
Gu Jingxi then said, "Ayao, let's go take a bath."
After he finished speaking, he first put on his own clothes, then helped Meng Jinyao put on hers, and then instructed the maid to prepare water and tidy up the bed.
Meng Jinyao glanced at the bed and saw that it was in a mess, the thin blanket was creased and there were bloodstains on it. All of this indicated what had just happened. She couldn't help but think of what had just happened and her face instantly turned red with embarrassment.
When Qingqiu entered, she saw her mistress being carried shyly to the washroom by the Marquis. She was momentarily bewildered, but she didn't think much of it.
She had heard some noises outside and knew what had happened between the Marquis and his wife. After all, she had heard similar sounds in Wei Rui Xuan. Although the Marquis and his wife could not actually consummate their marriage, they still had some intimate moments.
Qingqiu stepped forward, preparing to tidy up the bedding. Seeing the bloodstains on the thin blanket, she assumed that the lady had started her period. She quickly tidied up and then prepared the menstrual belt.
In a clean room.
Meng Jinyao used to be genuinely curious about her husband's body. Now that she had seen it, she thought his upper body was quite handsome and pleasing to the eye. However, when she saw the differences between his lower body and her own, she immediately lost her goodwill.
She was bullied by some bad guy, and she's still in pain.
Seeing the undisguised disgust on his wife's face, Gu Jingxi was once again devastated and instantly began to question the meaning of life.
No man wants his wife to look disgusted when she sees his body, as this makes him feel that his wife is not satisfied with him.
He silently looked down at it.
It's clearly not small.
It's quite spectacular.
Meng Jinyao noticed the dejected look on his face and, somewhat puzzled, asked softly, "Husband, what's wrong?"
Gu Jingxi said calmly, "You are not satisfied with your husband."
Meng Jinyao was stunned: "?"
What are you dissatisfied with?
Did she ever say she was dissatisfied with him?
She didn't always like him, but seeing his face every day still amazed her, and sometimes she even felt like she got a great deal by getting such a handsome man.
Fine, whatever, I'll just have to appease him first. Men can be quite dramatic sometimes, and they need to be coaxed too.
Meng Jinyao reached out and hugged him, coaxing him softly, "Husband, don't overthink it. You're so handsome, just looking at you is a pleasure. How could I not be satisfied?"
Gu Jingxi: "..."
Got it, this means he's all show and no substance, a pretty face but no substance.
Isn't this how people praise others in order to avoid offending them?
For example, if a child is naughty, you praise him for being lively and cute; if a girl is ugly, you praise her for being kind-hearted; if a man has a face full of fat and looks fierce, you praise him for being tall, strong, and masculine.
Seeing that he remained silent, Meng Jinyao asked again, "Husband, what's wrong?"
Gu Jingxi said calmly, "Ayao, your husband is not young anymore."
Meng Jinyao didn't know what he was talking about, but she nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, yes, my husband is really not young."
Gu Jingxi: "..."
Such perfunctory words must mean saying something against one's conscience.
