Chapter 372 They've Consummated Their Marriage!
One more time?
Meng Jinyao didn't react at first, looking at him blankly, her eyes seeming to say: What do you mean, do it again?
Seeing her staring blankly at him, Gu Jingxi suddenly had a mischievous urge. Before she could react, he pleaded softly, "Ayao, let's do it again, okay?"
Perhaps unable to bear seeing him plead with her in such a tone, Meng Jinyao, still not quite in a daze, replied, "Okay."
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Jingxi lowered his head and kissed her again.
This time, unlike the last time, we didn't retreat as quickly.
More than half a month ago, when they traveled by boat from the capital to Huzhou Prefecture, the journey was long and the weather was sunny and clear every day for more than half a month.
So there were no waves on the canal, and the journey was calm and peaceful. The boat traveled at a steady speed, and the swaying was very smooth. You could only feel a slight rocking while sitting on the boat.
However, before she even boarded a boat to return to the capital, she felt as if a violent storm was brewing, and she herself was like a small boat on the Grand Canal.
The Grand Canal is so vast, and a small boat is so insignificant. When a storm comes, huge waves rise on the canal, and the small boat loses its autonomy, tossing and turning with the waves.
After a long while, the rain stopped and the canal returned to calm.
Encountering the storm and giant waves, Meng Jinyao was already exhausted. Fine sweat beaded on her forehead, her cheeks were flushed, and she was panting with her lips slightly parted, like a fish stranded on the riverbank, her mind completely blank, not thinking about anything.
Gu Jingxi wiped the sweat from her forehead, kissed her cheek, and asked softly, "Ayao, is there anything wrong?"
Hearing this, Meng Jinyao's thoughts slowly returned. She saw her husband looking at her with a satisfied expression and tender, loving eyes. She was still a little dazed. She moved her body and felt that a part of her body still hurt.
Meng Jinyao pondered the two incidents carefully for a while. Based on the knowledge she had gained from reading a certain enlightenment book before her marriage, she vaguely knew what was going on. However, since her husband had a hidden ailment, she never thought it was about consummating the marriage. She only thought that her husband had used some kind of tool on her.
Thinking of this, Meng Jinyao immediately felt wronged and complained in a coquettish voice, "Husband, this will hurt. Let's not do this again, okay?" Afraid that Gu Jingxi would not agree, she added, "If you want to be by the window in the attic, then, then I will do as you say."
Gu Jingxi was initially discouraged by the first incident, but fortunately, the second incident helped him regain his confidence. However, after listening to his wife's words, he was discouraged again. Although he had no experience in this area, he had studied it by reading books. Surely his skills weren't that bad? Ayao didn't even want to have sex with him anymore.
He asked nervously, "Ayao, are you feeling unwell?"
Meng Jinyao blushed and nodded, then shook her head. Afraid that he would feel guilty, she stammered, "It's not that I feel uncomfortable, it's just... it started to hurt, it really hurts."
Hearing this, Gu Jingxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "After this pain, it won't hurt anymore."
Meng Jinyao sensed from his tone that there would be a next time, and said coquettishly, "Don't do this next time. You weren't like this before. Now you have so many tricks up your sleeve, I'm starting to doubt if you're really my husband."
Gu Jingxi asked with a smile, "Didn't you say you wanted a child? How can we have a child if we don't do this?"
"Child, child?"
Meng Jinyao's mind went blank for a moment. She stared at him blankly, feeling like her brain couldn't process what was happening.
Seeing his young wife's bewildered expression, Gu Jingxi suddenly realized he was a beast for doing such a thing to a naive young girl. He steadied himself and asked, "Ayao, don't you know that a couple needs to have intercourse to conceive?"
Upon hearing this, Meng Jinyao was struck dumb, her eyes widening in disbelief as she stared at him: "Sex...sex?!"
Gu Jingxi nodded gently: "You can only get pregnant if we have sex."
Hearing his words, Meng Jinyao felt confused and shook her head repeatedly: "No, how could we have sex? How could I possibly get pregnant like that?"
After hearing this, Gu Jingxi belatedly realized that they were talking about two different things. A Yao seemed not to understand what had just happened, which made him feel even more like a beast. He said gently, "We were just having sex."
Meng Jinyao still felt something was wrong. She glanced at him with a strange expression and asked hesitantly, "But...but don't you have a hidden illness?"
Gu Jingxi was taken aback at first, but quickly realized what was going on. He didn't hide anything and replied truthfully, "It used to be, but it's fine now. It's all thanks to Physician Wen."
As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Jinyao felt as if she had been struck by lightning, leaving her mind blank. She couldn't think straight and stared at Gu Jingxi for a long time before she came back to her senses.
So, it's true that her husband had a hidden illness, but after being treated by Physician Wen, the illness is now cured? They will have their own child in the near future and will no longer need to find someone else's child to adopt.
After a long while, Meng Jinyao still hadn't fully processed the news. Looking at him, she suddenly felt a pang of heartache and said, "Then, my husband, haven't you been taking medicine for over ten years to cure your illness?"
“No.” Gu Jingxi shook his head and continued, “I gave up many years ago, and only later did I seek out Physician Wen again.”
Meng Jinyao: "And then?"
Gu Jingxi hugged her and kissed her, saying softly, "Didn't you say you wanted a child a year ago? Before I had a wife, I felt it didn't matter whether this illness was treated or not, but now that I have you, I don't want to make you suffer. If Doctor Wen's medicine works, we will have a child; if it doesn't, then I will accept my fate, but it will be hard on you."
Upon hearing this, Meng Jinyao suddenly looked up at Gu Jingxi, a feeling of gratitude spreading through her heart. She never expected that the person who had given up on treatment would one day risk suffering another blow to seek treatment from the imperial physician again, just for her.
Meng Jinyao glanced down and saw that neither she nor he were naked. She quickly looked away, too embarrassed to continue looking, and said in surprise and astonishment, "Husband, so it was you just now? I thought, I thought..."
Gu Jingxi asked, "What did you think?"
Meng Jinyao replied honestly, "I thought you used a tool. Before I got married, I read some enlightenment books, and I remember there was a scene in one of them where a tool was used."
tool?
Gu Jingxi was stunned. He had worked so hard just now, and A Yao only thought it was a tool? Didn't she see it as him?
Soon, his expression became subtle.
Meng Jinyao noticed that the man's expression was a bit off, and his gaze towards her was aggressive. Suddenly, she felt a dangerous aura approaching her.
She stammered, "Husband, what's wrong? Don't look at me like that, it's scary."
Gu Jingxi stroked her cheek, a half-smile on his face, and said, "Ayao, let's do it again. This time, you can really feel whether it's a tool or not."
Meng Jinyao exclaimed "Huh?" and was about to protest when her words were silenced by the other person's lips.
As expected, the storm struck again, and she felt like a small boat on a canal, with no way to avoid it and only able to face the storm head-on, tossed about by the giant waves.
