Chapter 230 Their First Kiss
Little rascal?
This was the first time Meng Jinyao had heard Gu Jingxi call her that. It was a seemingly reproachful yet affectionate and doting way of addressing her, as sweet as honey. Her cheeks flushed instantly.
The man before me smiled, his phoenix eyes brimming with tenderness, as if trying to lure me into his embrace.
She stared at him blankly, suddenly realizing that the hangover soup Chunliu had prepared didn't seem to be working very well. Otherwise, why did she feel the effects of the alcohol returning? She was a little drunk, and her head was spinning.
Gu Jingxi noticed that the little girl in his arms had suddenly blushed shyly, but her eyes were staring straight at him. He was puzzled and asked, "Madam, what's wrong?"
Meng Jinyao stared at the man's handsome, ethereal face, her heart pounding. She felt that Gu Jingxi was becoming more and more alluring, especially when he smiled. When she met his gentle eyes and her gaze fell on his pale pink lips, her heart beat even faster.
As if possessed, she uttered a startling question: "My husband, how could I possibly defile you?"
Gu Jingxi was stunned. Looking at the little girl's flushed cheeks, he seemed to understand something. He was surprised and looked at her almond-shaped eyes staring at him expectantly, with a touch of silliness. He chuckled and said, "How can you be so cute?"
Meng Jinyao realized what nonsense she had said, her face burning and her cheeks turning even redder. She thought to herself: Beauty can be a trap! But she couldn't be blamed; it was just that Gu Jingxi was too alluring.
Seeing the little girl's flushed cheeks, lying shyly in his arms, looking utterly bashful, Gu Jingxi had a sudden thought and said, "My wife, I have offended you."
As he spoke, he lowered his head and kissed those pink lips.
Warm, soft lips suddenly pressed against mine; it happened in an instant, so suddenly that it caught me completely off guard.
Gu Jingxi is like this!
This is!
He kissed her?!
Meng Jinyao was completely stunned. Her eyes widened suddenly as she stared in utter shock at the man so close to her, her mind blank.
Although she was bold enough to ask such questions, when it came to actually doing it, she had no experience and didn't know how to react for a moment. She could only stand there stiffly, letting the other person do whatever they wanted.
She didn't understand these things, and neither did Gu Jingxi, who was equally inexperienced.
But Gu Jingxi is a man after all, and men are quite talented in certain things, even to the point of being able to learn without a teacher. How could such a thing be difficult for the learned Marquis Gu?
He went from being awkward and hesitant at the beginning to finding the knack in no time.
Meng Jinyao was in a daze, and he gently guided her to slowly respond.
After a long while, Gu Jingxi finally released Meng Jinyao. His breathing was a little unsteady. Seeing the girl in his arms breathing erratically and craving fresh air, he gently patted Meng Jinyao to help her catch her breath.
Meng Jinyao stared blankly at him, her almond-shaped eyes misty with a seductive charm, and her rosy lips glistening with moisture.
At first glance.
Like a ripe and tempting cherry.
Take a closer look.
The more I look at it, the more it resembles it.
Gu Jingxi couldn't resist and actually tried it.
Compared to her previous awkwardness, she was much more skilled this time, her movements gentle and tender.
Meng Jinyao's thoughts, which had just begun to return to normal, were once again drawn away by him. Relying on the little bit of experience she had just gained, she slowly reached out and hugged his neck, awkwardly responding to him.
It must be said that Meng Jinyao was also a diligent and studious girl, and she boldly ventured inside.
Gu Jingxi was taken aback for a moment, but then cooperated with her, letting her take the lead and patiently guiding her.
Finally, Meng Jinyao took the initiative to end it, lying on Gu Jingxi's chest, breathing heavily. It took her a long time to catch her breath. She slowly raised her head and met his gentle eyes. Her face, which was already red from shyness and difficulty breathing, turned even redder.
She never expected herself to be so bold as to suggest something blasphemous about him.
He truly is the most handsome man in the capital. Even though he is nearly thirty, he is still quite charming. Sure enough, he has captivated her to the point of losing her senses.
Gu Jingxi had one arm around her waist and the other hand caressing her cheek. Seeing that she was still staring blankly at him, he smiled and asked mischievously, "Madam, are you looking at me like that and want to do it again?"
"ah?"
Meng Jinyao was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what he meant. Her face flushed red as she shook her head repeatedly, "Don't talk nonsense, I didn't mean it." After saying that, she buried her face in his chest, feeling extremely shy.
Immediately afterwards, a low laugh escaped from his throat. Meng Jinyao, who was lying on his chest, could clearly feel his chest throbbing. She was both embarrassed and annoyed. She angrily punched him with her small fist and said coquettishly, "Don't laugh!"
"Hmm, I won't smile."
Gu Jingxi hugged her tighter, took her fist in his other hand, kissed her cheek, and softly called her, "Ayao."
This was the first time Meng Jinyao had heard him call her by her given name. She looked up at him again and asked, "W-what's wrong?"
Gu Jingxi asked her, "Do you regret it?"
Meng Jinyao was a little confused and asked blankly, "Regret what?"
Gu Jingxi asked again, "Do you regret marrying me?"
Upon hearing this, Meng Jinyao was taken aback at first, then shook her head repeatedly, looking at Gu Jingxi with a firm gaze, and said slowly, "I don't regret it. Even if you are 39 years old, I will not regret it."
She married Gu Jingxi not only because his status could protect her, but also because she valued his noble character. As they spent more time together, she truly fell in love with this gentle and considerate man. Even though he was thirteen years older than her and had a hidden illness, she didn't care. She only loved Gu Jingxi as a person.
Gu Xiuming's elopement was a fortunate thing for her. She was also grateful to herself for being brave and unafraid of gossip, and for resolutely finding herself a new groom.
Otherwise, if she followed the Gu family's wishes and married Gu Xiuming, who had run away from the marriage, she couldn't imagine what her married life would be like. It certainly wouldn't be better than living at her parents' home. Even if the Gu family had reasonable elders, Gu Xiuming could still humiliate her and make her suffer endless grievances when the elders couldn't see.
Gu Jingxi gave a wry smile: "Silly girl."
Meng Jinyao laughed and said, "I'm not stupid. I think I'm very smart."
Seeing her radiant smile, Gu Jingxi also smiled and solemnly said, "I will do my best to fulfill what I promised my wife."
Upon hearing this, Meng Jinyao looked puzzled: "Did my husband promise me anything?"
Gu Jingxi replied with two words: "Child".
Meng Jinyao suddenly realized, then looked at him with a puzzled expression, somewhat confused. How much effort would it take to have a child? Could it be that seeing Gu Xiuming's behavior had given him a psychological trauma, and he was now seriously trying to find a good prospect for her to raise?
Thinking this, Meng Jinyao smiled and said, "Then my husband should work hard. I want a son and a daughter."
Gu Jingxi nodded with a smile: "Okay."
