These words were actually meant to deceive Yu Jiao. If she wasn't there, Yu Qizhe wouldn't mind exchanging the marriage for benefits, but she happened to appear. He cherished her and didn't want her to suffer any grievances.
"Do you remember what I said on the way back to Changkui from Qingzhou?" Yu Qizhe asked.
Yu Jiao nodded. At that time, she had not yet fallen in love with Yu Qizhe. She just talked about the matter at hand, saying that the Yang family was a good marriage, and that if he married Yang Jiyan and had a father-in-law like Governor Yang to support him, his future official career would be smoother.
She remembered that Yu Qizhe was a little angry when he heard what she said.
He also thought that if he wanted to gain support in official circles, he should plan his own marriage. There would be nothing he couldn't plan for in the future.
At that time, he was sober and had a bottom line.
It was because Yu Jiao cared too much about Yu Qizhe that she felt a lot of concern after hearing too many words from Yang Jiyan that Yang Jiyan could help Yu Qizhe's career, which led to her saying what she said today.
Yu Qizhe pinched Yu Jiao's little face and said, "Even if I become frustrated and my career is not going well in the future, will you leave me?"
Yu Jiao shook her head. "No, no matter if you are an official or stay in the village to grow crops all your life, you are still you."
She didn’t know whether her love would disappear, but she liked Yu Qizhe, not because he could be made a marquis or a prime minister in the future, but just because he was him.
"That's it." Yu Qizhe smiled, "As long as you are here, everything else is just an external thing."
Official career and power are his ambitions. Ambition is important, but between him and Yu Jiao, it is not a dilemma, nor is it a burden that Yu Jiao has to bear.
He flicked Yu Jiao's forehead and said, "Just think about me, little head. If you think too much about other things, you will become an old woman."
After listening to his talk, Yu Jiao felt better and a little enlightened.
She was obsessed with it, entangled in the mess of Yang Jiyan. It was true that falling in love would make people become pretentious.
"If someone says in the future that marrying you won't help me in my career, how will you respond?" Yu Qizhe asked with a smile.
Yu Jiao's almond-shaped eyes moved slightly, and she tentatively replied, "What does it have to do with you?"
This made Yu Qizhe laugh in a low voice, "That's fine too."
He added, "Just tell me that it's me who wants to be an official, and it's me who loves you and wants to marry you."
Yu Jiao was coaxed by him and a smile appeared on her face.
"Aunt~" Little Platycodon ran out from the west room with its short legs, and called to Yu Jiao in a cute and soft voice.
Yu Jiao lowered her head to look at her. The little girl was chubby and very cute.
She squatted down and picked up little Kikyo.
"Are my aunt and uncle kissing?" The little girl had become more and more fluent in her speech over the past six months. She was held in Yu Jiao's arms, pouting her lips and saying softly, "I want to kiss my aunt too~"
A trace of embarrassment emerged on Yu Jiao's face. She turned around and looked at Yu Qizhe. Seeing that he was looking at her with a smile in his eyes, her face couldn't help but feel a little burning.
The little girl kissed Yu Jiao on the face with a 'smack' sound.
The closeness of children is very pleasing. Yu Jiao smiled and rubbed the little Platycodon's face. "Auntie will go to town to buy you a candy man later."
"Auntie is so nice." The little girl said sweetly, "Gigen loves to eat candy~"
Yu Jiao smiled and said, "If you eat too much sugar, your teeth will get bad and worms will grow on them."
The little girl was so scared that she quickly covered her mouth. Her eyes, like black grapes, rolled around and she babbled for a long time, but no one knew what she was saying. It was obvious that she was scared.
Yu Jiao realized that she had said something wrong, and hurriedly smiled and coaxed, "You won't get worms if you eat less sugar. Open your mouth and let Auntie see your teeth."
Little Platycodon opened its mouth obediently. Yu Jiao checked it and said softly, "Plantococcus' teeth are healthy and have no worms."
Only then did little Platycodon become happy, waving his hands and giggling.
Wang Mengyan came out of the house and saw Yu Jiao holding Platycodon. She walked up to her and said with a smile, "This girl ran out when I wasn't paying attention. Ever since she could walk, she always wanted to run outside."
Seeing Wang Mengyan, little Platycodon reached out for her to hug him.
Wang Mengyan reached out and took the little girl from Yu Jiao's arms. Little Platycodon leaned on Wang Mengyan's shoulder and shook her little head, "Aunt said she would buy me some candy."
Wang Mengyan smiled and pinched her little nose, "You glutton."
She looked at Yu Jiao and said, "Don't spend money recklessly to spoil her."
"She is the only child in the family, so it's only right that we love her more." Yu Jiao likes children very much. She feels very healed just by looking at them. It is also a very happy thing for her to talk to children in childish words.
During the period when she was in the worst condition in her previous life, she often went to the kindergarten near the community to watch the children play. The children's smiles could reduce her hostility and some negative emotions.
After some more jokes, Wang Mengyan knew that Yu Jiao was going to the city to visit Liu Sanniang, so she said, "I have nothing to do at home, so why don't I take Little Platycodon with you to go around the city?"
Little Platycodon is grown up now and always wants to run outside. Wang Mengyan has hardly left the village since she gave birth to little Platycodon. She hasn't been to the town for the past two or three years and has stayed at home all day. She also wants to go out for a walk.
Yu Jiao smiled and replied, "That couldn't be better."
"Let's go out and play!" Little Platycodon shouted happily.
"I'll go talk to your eldest brother and ask him to put another coat on Kikyo." Seeing the little girl so happy, Wang Mengyan laughed too and carried her back to the room.
