ong Xining to come along so they could play together.Song Xinning had just gotten off the carriage and saw Meng Jiny Yao, who had also just arrived. A smile immediately appeared on her face as she wav...As soon as she said this, Yu Chuan, who was disguised as a maid and standing beside her, looked at her with an expression of disbelief. His eyes seemed to be saying: Madam, is it really good to blacken your own and the Marquis's image like this

A trace of disappointment flashed in Tang girl's eyes. She was indeed interested in Xiao San Gongzi. Unlike the merchant sons she had met before, Xiao San Gongzi was different. Although he was a businessman, he resembled a cultured scholar with an air of erudition. That's why she inquired about his marital status, but unexpectedly, he was already married to a domineering woman.

She was quite surprised and asked curiously, "I never thought that Young Master Xiao San would be a man who fears his wife. But he is such a gentle person, why would he marry such a fierce woman Could it be because he didn't know her temperament before"

Meng Jin Yao felt a tinge of guilt, but she chose to act serious and prevaricate: "He naturally understands Third Sister-in-Law's temperament. Third Sister-in-Law also agreed to marry him after he persistently pursued her. They both willingly fought for it."

"He actively proposed to such a girl" Miss Tang was even more astonished and puzzled, asking, "Could it be that there is something extraordinary about that girl"

Meng Jinyao replied, "There's nothing particularly special about them. It's just that they grew up together as childhood sweethearts, so their relationship is different. He liked his third sister-in-law since he was a child and obeyed her in everything. As soon as she reached the age of 15, he immediately went to propose marriage, fearing that someone else would claim her."

Tang Guiren, upon hearing this, felt a mix of disappointment and envy. Such a girl with a bad personality and lack of gentleness could be so favored by the elegant Young Master Xiao San—what a lucky woman.

Just then, Gu Jingxi's voice rang out coldly: "Little sister, are you gossiping about me behind my back again"

Meng Jin Yao's smile froze, she slowly turned her head to look, only to see the man standing behind her, looking at her with a smile that wasn't quite a smile. She didn't know how long he had been there. She chuckled awkwardly: "Third Brother, when did you arrive"

"Having just arrived, I've heard everything that should and shouldn't be heard. " After speaking, Gu Jingxi turned to look at Miss Tang and said in a soft voice, “My sister speaks inappropriately and has made you laugh.”

Miss Tang shook her head hastily: "Miss Xiao speaks with humor and wit, it's very pleasant to be around her."

Gu Jingxi said again, "Little sister, my elder brother has something to tell you. Please come over here first."

Meng Jinyao felt that what he said was definitely not what she wanted to hear, but she had to follow him back. Otherwise, she would definitely be in trouble tonight. So she nodded and said to Tang Gu: "Miss Tang, excuse me."

She followed Gu Jingxi back, Yu Chuan also following behind them. After the couple entered their cabin room, he stayed outside the door, walking a few steps away so as not to hear what his master and madam were saying privately.

Gu Jingxi glanced at his little wife. The delicate girl had nothing to do with a tigress. He couldn't help but chuckle and say, "Our little tigress doesn't look fierce at all."

Upon hearing this, Meng Jinyao blushed instantly. She raised her head and glared at him, softly saying, "Who made you so popular I'm saying this to discourage those girls from having any ideas about you. Telling them you have a wife who is afraid of your husband will scare away any girl who wants anything to do with you, right See, Miss Tang immediately dropped her thoughts."

Gu Jingxi agreed, "That's true, Ayao did a good job. Tonight, this husband will reward Ayao well."

Meng Jinyao, upon hearing this, knew he was definitely not being serious. She said with displeasure, "Now that we're on a ship and pretending to be siblings, you should keep your distance. Otherwise, others might think we are doing something inappropriate."

Gu Jingxi thought to himself, they had already been misunderstood at the inn earlier. Seeing his little wife glaring at him reproachfully, he reached out and pulled her into his arms, softly saying, "My husband will be gentle tonight."

Meng Jin Yao was speechless：“……”

For a moment, she looked serious and earnestly admonished him, "Husband, you have to moderate this. Be careful not to deplete your body. You wouldn't want me to have to stew tonic soup for you in the kitchen later on, would you"

Gu Jingxi's face stiffened: "It's been several days since the last time, is my husband not restrained enough"

That night, Gu Jingxi took advantage of no one being around and entered her room. He pulled her into a passionate embrace without giving her a chance to refuse. This time, he was gentle and considerate, so nothing happened to cause any disturbance.

After everything was done, Gu Jingxi gently cleaned her with water and soothed her with soft words.

Meng Jinyao wanted to get angry but couldn't. This man had specially brought a basin of clean water into the room for this matter, just for convenience afterward. She felt upset in her heart, thinking, "How could he be so eager for this He can't wait a few more days even though we will be in the capital soon, back to my own home, and able to do whatever I want behind closed doors."

Gu Jingxi corrected: "It's not that I crave this kind of thing, my husband just craves Ayao

"

Meng Jinyáo dazedly uttered, "Ah"

Gu Jingxi smiled gently: "If Yao'er doesn't want to tell me her true thoughts, she can just keep them to herself. She can think about them in her heart."

"...Did I say it out loud"

Gu Jingxi raised an eyebrow: "Otherwise, how would husband know"

Meng Jin Yao: "..."

Gu Jingxi hugged her into his arms, kissing her cheek, his voice ambiguous and suggestive as he asked, "Ayao, do you still want it"

Hearing this, Meng Jinyang hadn't even answered before she reached out and pushed the person away. Her meaning was very clear; she didn't want to stay tonight. Just now her husband had been able to hold back, but if he came again, he wouldn't be able to control himself. What would they do if there was a commotion

Gu Jingxi saw her expression and didn't force her. He simply held her back in his arms, intending to just sleep with her without doing anything else.

Meng Jinyao suddenly asked, "Husband, the past few days have been calm. In the next few days, we should be able to reach the capital safely, right"

Gu Jingxi softly replied, "That's fine. We can use new identities and disguise ourselves again. From four men and one woman, we become three men and two women, creating confusion. Now that those people haven't caught up, they don't even know we're on this merchant ship."

Meng Jin Yao lightly nodded. She wasn't afraid of death, but she was afraid of holding him back. She was helpless and if someone came to assassinate them, her husband would have to split his attention between protecting her and himself.

Gu Jingxi apologized: "Ayao, it's my fault. I put you in danger and scared you."

Meng Jiny Yao hurriedly said, "Husband, please don't say that. If it weren't for you, I might never have made it to Huizhou in my lifetime and experienced the beauty of the Jiangnan water town."

She paused, her voice softening, and then continued in a lighthearted tone, "As for the danger, that was unexpected. Now that it's over, I'm safe and sound. It gave me an unprecedented experience—thrilling and exciting! It also made me see my husband in a new light. His martial arts skills are truly amazing."

Gu Jingxi said nothing, pulling the person in his arms closer.

Meng Jinyang's divine hands embraced his waist, rubbing her head against him in his arms and changing the subject: "Husband, it's late, let's sleep first. We can talk about anything tomorrow."

Gu Jingxi hummed softly, leaned down to kiss her cheek, and then held her as they fell asleep.e accept this."Qi Yunwen took the silver and handed it to Gu Jingxi, smiling: "Here you go, luckily I met my heartless niece, otherwise there wouldn't be enough silver."Gu Jingxi took the silver and h...
