After the door was closed, they returned to the living room. Gu Jianing reached out and poked Sheng Zexi's chest with her jade-white fingers. She asked in a soft and tender voice, "I didn't expect that Peng Wenjing just left and Li Shuyao came. Captain Sheng, you have so many romantic partners."
"It feels a bit unfair. Should I go find some peach blossoms too? Ah!"
Before Gu Jianing could finish her teasing words, Sheng Zexi hugged her, covered her mouth, and said forcefully: "I don't allow it, you can't have other peach blossoms."
"You can only be mine."
"If there are other peach blossoms, I'll take one and break one off."
Gu Jianing snorted softly, "What if it's a whole peach tree? Can you pick all of them?"
"Then I'll chop it down with an axe, pull it up by the roots, and then set it on fire." When spring comes, it will grow again with the spring breeze.
Gu Jianing was amused by Sheng Zexi's serious look and patted his chest, "Okay, I was just kidding."
"But you do have to tell me, who is this Li Shuyao? Is she also in the art troupe that's here this time?"
Sheng Zexi thought about it and said uncertainly: "It should be, she is indeed from the Beijing Art Troupe, but I don't know if she came this time."
Sheng Zexi would not even try to find out, as she had no information about Li Shuyao or Zhang Shuyao.
"It's okay. If there is one, we can see it during the performance on New Year's Eve."
"Li Shuyao, she is the granddaughter of Mr. Li..." Sheng Zexi told Gu Jianing about Li Shuyao's origins.
After listening to Sheng Zexi's words, Gu Jianing realized that this Mr. Li, before he retired, had the same status as Sheng Zexi's father now. Even though he is retired now, his prestige is still there.
Not only that, the Li family has made progress in the military and political circles. It can be said that Li Shuyao really has a strong background.
Especially since Li Shuyao is Mr. Li’s only and most beloved granddaughter.
"Don't you regret not marrying Li Shuyao? After all, if you had married Li Shuyao, it would have been a great help to your career." Gu Jianing couldn't help but ask.
She thought of Wen Zhuqing in her previous life, and even other men. Wasn't it the same? Abandoning a wife or girlfriend who had no background and no help, and choosing a woman with a strong background who could help her career to marry, even if she didn't love him.
For many men, women are insignificant compared to career, power and wealth. If they have all the above, what kind of women would they not want?
In fact, Gu Jianing even had some doubts. Is there really such a thing as love that lasts from beginning to end in this world?
Just as she thought of this, Gu Jianing suddenly felt a slight pain on her forehead. She subconsciously raised her eyes with grievance, and met Sheng Zexi's angry and somewhat hurt eyes.
"Gu Jianing, you don't believe me!"
Sheng Zexi really guessed Gu Jianing's little thoughts at once. As soon as she rolled her eyes, he knew what she was thinking.
Wasn't what Gu Jianing said just now a test and distrust of him?
This made Sheng Zexi angry. Wasn't his liking and love for her obvious enough?
"Gu Jianing, let me tell you, I, Sheng Zexi, don't need to sacrifice my marriage in exchange for so-called help!"
"I will marry the woman I want to marry, and it will always be the woman I like and love! No one can force me to do that."
"Military merit, a future, a career, if I want these, I will work hard to earn them even if it means risking my life! I believe that I have the ability to earn a good future."
"I want to believe that if I marry you, I will be able to protect you."
Sheng Zexi held Gu Jianing's shoulders with both hands, his eyes sincere and passionate, "Ningning, believe me, okay?"
Gu Jianing was burned by the fiery gaze of Sheng Zexi. Her heart skipped a beat and she was shocked. It felt like her chest was filled with something in an instant.
Almost without thinking, she nodded and said according to her heart: "Okay, I believe you."
In reality, her suspicion was only influenced by her past life, but it only took a moment for her to realize that it was wrong.
In his previous life, Sheng Zexi regarded her as the white moonlight in his heart. He was able to rush into the fire to save her. Even after she died, he left a will to be buried with her.
And Sheng Zexi has done so much for her in this life. After marriage, he has been considerate to her in every aspect, many of which are things that men of this era cannot do. She is also attracted to him and moved by him little by little, isn't she?
She had no doubt about Sheng Zexi from her previous life.
Sheng Zexi has also proved it with his actions in this life.
She shouldn't have doubted him!
"Then tell me, what kind of person is Li Shuyao? She is the granddaughter of Mr. Li, so should I avoid her and give way to her?" Although he said this, Gu Jianing, who was leaning in Sheng Zexi's arms, had a dangerous look in his eyes.
If this man dared to ask her to give in to other women, then...
That’s right, although she believed Sheng Zexi, she still dug a small hole.
Sheng Zexi didn't know that Gu Jianing was setting a trap for him, but Gu Jianing's words made him angry.
"Gu Jianing, you have no ambition, why do you have to give in to others?"
"No matter who they are, you don't need to give in. Just do whatever you want. Don't worry, if anything happens, Brother Xi will help you."
What Sheng Zexi meant was that if someone dares to provoke you, go ahead and fight back, your husband will support you and help you!
Gu Jianing understood the implication of Sheng Zexi's words and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"I can't remember what Li Shuyao looks like, but she's not as pretty as my Ningning, and she's annoying."
Sheng Zexi thought hard, but he really couldn't imagine what Li Shuyao looked like.
He doesn't have face blindness, but he really won't take it to heart or care about people who don't care about him.
The only thing Li Shuyao left him with was that when they were in Beijing, she always came to bother him, which was very annoying.
Other than that, nothing more.
"Okay." Gu Jianing could see that Sheng Zexi was not lying.
In fact, Gu Jianing didn’t care much about Li Shuyao. After all, she and Sheng Zexi were married, and it was a military marriage!
If Li Shuyao really comes to sabotage, she will be shameless.
Moreover, Gu Jianing was not afraid to confront her.
After all, Li Shuyao has the Li family behind her, and she has a future technology to support her - a child-bearing system.
As long as she has enough points, there is nothing she can't accomplish.
In the next few days, Gu Jianing thought that he would run into Li Shuyao, or that person would come to his house, but he didn't expect anything to happen.
Before we knew it, it was New Year's Eve.
That day, as soon as Gu Jianing opened his eyes, he heard the voice of the system ringing in his head.
[Ding! The host is detected to be pregnant! ]
