Chapter 265 He Regretted It
After a long while, Gu Jingxi calmed down and was no longer depressed, but when he looked at the girl in his arms, his expression became somewhat subtle.
After a short while, he silently took the clothes and dressed his young wife. He had done this two or three times before and had become quite skilled at it.
Seeing that his expression seemed a little subtle, Meng Jinyao vaguely sensed that something was wrong with his emotions, like a flower that had been hit by frost, wilted and listless. Not knowing what was wrong, she raised her hand to let him put his sleeves on and asked, "Husband, what's wrong?"
"fine."
Gu Jingxi shook his head and kissed her cheek.
Meng Jinyao stared at Gu Jingxi intently for a long time, wondering if it was because she was too shy and hesitant towards the end that Gu Jingxi found it uninteresting. She had heard that if one of them couldn't enjoy themselves in the bedroom, it would affect the relationship between husband and wife.
Thinking this, she steeled herself, pounced on Gu Jingxi, hugged him, and kissed him on the lips as compensation.
Gu Jingxi was bewildered by her, but seeing her suddenly become enthusiastic, he couldn't very well spoil the fun, so he had no choice but to cooperate and kiss her for a long time before she, who was almost out of breath, unilaterally announced the end.
Meng Jinyao lay on his chest, looking at him expectantly. Several times she hesitated before finally blushing and shyly saying, "Husband, um, we can discuss it next time. I have no experience and don't quite understand."
Gu Jingxi looked bewildered: "What are we discussing?"
Meng Jinyao's words became much more direct: "As for matters of the bedroom, what you want to do is actually something we can discuss."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingxi was taken aback again, somewhat confused as to why his wife had suddenly brought up this issue. How could such a thing be discussed?
Meng Jinyao glanced at him and continued, "I don't know how you men can be satisfied. How am I supposed to understand if you don't tell me?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingxi looked astonished, then chuckled softly and gently pinched her cheek: "Silly girl, how can you be so silly?"
It's not that this silly girl is making him unhappy; it's his own problem. Right now, he can only satisfy his craving, and he's truly powerless to enjoy himself to the fullest.
Now he suddenly regrets giving up on himself and abandoning treatment. If he had followed the doctor's advice and cooperated with Dr. Wen's treatment, he should be cured by now.
"Why do you call me stupid again, my husband?" Meng Jinyao glared at him and continued, "Actually, I think I'm quite smart and have a good eye for talent."
Gu Jingxi asked with a smile, "A discerning eye?"
Meng Jinyao winked at him and said with a smile, "Yes, there's such a big pearl right in front of me, didn't you see it?"
Gu Jingxi was taken aback at first, but quickly realized that the pearl his wife was talking about was him. Seeing his wife smiling and looking at him expectantly, he smiled and said, "Yes, I see it. It is indeed a very big pearl."
Meng Jinyao giggled: "Right? It's so big and quite dazzling. I like it just by looking at it."
Gu Jingxi hugged her tightly, kissed her forehead, and said gently, "It's getting late, let's go to sleep, my discerning little talent scout."
"good."
Meng Jinyao responded, shifted her body, found a comfortable position in the man's arms, put her feet between his legs to warm them, and pressed her hands against his chest. The man's arms were very warm, and being held like this made her feel very comfortable, and she slept very soundly.
It's only early winter, and it hasn't snowed yet. Others don't feel very cold, but she has a weak constitution and feels very cold.
Especially at night when she goes to sleep, her hands and feet are always cold. If it weren't for Gu Jingxi being there, it would take her a long time to warm up.
Not only that, but at this time of year, her old ailment started to flare up again. She would feel a dull pain when she was cold, but since she was dressed warmly and wrapped up tightly, it wasn't too bad, and the discomfort wasn't very noticeable. If it were any colder, she probably wouldn't be able to bear it.
Gu Jingxi asked with a smile, "Ayao, are you using me as a hot water bottle?"
"My husband is warm," Meng Jinyao said, then snuggled her head against him affectionately.
Gu Jingxi was a little confused: "It's early winter now, it hasn't snowed yet, and it's not very cold, so why do you feel so cold? How do you get through the deep winter?"
Meng Jinyao replied, "I'm quite sensitive to the cold. In the past, during the deep winter, I would lie in bed whenever I had nothing to do, unless it wasn't that cold that day."
She had no choice but to stay in bed. The charcoal they gave her was all smoky and insufficient in quantity. The only comforting thing was lying in bed with a hot water bottle. When bored, she would read in bed to pass the time; otherwise, she risked catching a cold, which would take another two weeks to recover. But now she was at the Gu family's house, and who would dare skimp on the charcoal from Wei Rui Xuan? So, she wouldn't be spending the entire winter in bed.
Because Gu Jingxi knew martial arts, he was not afraid of the cold. He had never raised a girl before, so he didn't know that girls were so afraid of the cold. Suddenly, he remembered a fine white fox fur he had obtained last year. It would be perfect to make a fox fur coat for A Yao. The white fur was also suitable for a young girl.
Sleepiness washed over her, Meng Jinyao yawned, closed her eyes, and nestled in his arms, quickly falling asleep.
Gu Jingxi heard the even breathing of the person in his arms and soon fell asleep as well.
The next morning.
Because of Gu Xuanling's marriage, Gu Jingxi, as her uncle, had a three-day holiday. Taking advantage of this free time, he took his young wife out for a walk. Staying at home was always boring. He could pass the time by reading, but the young girl preferred being in a lively place.
As soon as she boarded the carriage, the man beside her handed her a small hand warmer. She was surprised and asked, "When did you have this prepared, my husband?"
Gu Jingxi reached out and touched her small hand. It wasn't exactly cold, but it was a little chilly. He said, "Aren't you sensitive to the cold? Holding this will warm your hands just right."
Meng Jinyao felt comforted and warmed. Pointing to her hand warmer sleeves, she said softly, "I'm wearing hand warmers, so I won't be cold." As she spoke, she felt that she might be a little ungrateful, so she quickly changed the subject, "However, a hand warmer is even warmer. Thank you, my husband."
Gu Jingxi asked gently, "Is there anywhere you'd like to go, Ayao?"
Meng Jinyao thought for a moment and replied, "I'm almost out of lip balm and face cream. I can go out and buy some now that I'm out."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingxi instructed the driver to go to Zhuyan Pavilion, where they sold rouge and face powder for young women, as well as beauty and skincare creams and some spices. The products were of good quality, and the place was always packed with customers.
As soon as they arrived at Zhu Yan Pavilion, a familiar voice, tinged with urgency, came from ahead: "Gu Yaoling, you've come at the right time! We're in urgent need of your help!"
