The scumbag ran away from marriage, I remarried on the spot

Chapter 587 Scheming Man

It's late at night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.

Gu Jingxi couldn't fall asleep for a long time. He glanced at his son lying between him and A Yao. The little thing was so cute, but the more he looked at him, the more annoying he became. A Yao no longer cared about him now that he had this little thing.

He was not asleep, and neither was Meng Jinyao. She glanced at him and asked with concern, "Husband, you are still awake so late. Did you encounter a difficult case that made you so worried that you couldn't sleep?"

Gu Jingxi replied: "No."

Meng Jinyao asked again: "Then why are you tossing and turning?"

Gu Jingxi turned his head to look at her, his eyes full of resentment, and asked back: "Don't you know why your husband can't sleep?"

Meng Jinyao shook her head in bewilderment. What did she know? She was not a worm in his stomach, so how could she know why he suddenly became depressed? She just felt that this man suddenly became hypocritical. He had something to say but didn't say it, and asked her to guess. Wasn't this the behavior of an unreasonable little wife?

She thought so in her heart, but she still asked patiently: "Husband, how can I know if you don't tell me? How about you give me a hint?"

Gu Jingxi was like a woman in the boudoir, her tone was full of resentment, "Ayao, you have ignored me for three days. You clearly promised me last night that you would not sleep with Gu Xiuheng tonight, but you brought him over and wanted to lie between us. Do you think you did this on purpose?"

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao's face froze. She suddenly remembered what she promised him last night. She looked at her son who was sleeping soundly. She knew that if she didn't coax him well tonight, the consequences would be serious. She smiled awkwardly, "Husband, isn't it that Wanwan is clingy? I will send him back to the wet nurse now. When Wanwan grows up, let him sleep by himself in the future. Boys can't be too squeamish and need to learn to be independent as soon as possible. Don't you agree, husband?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Jingxi sat up, got out of bed, picked up his sleeping son and walked out.

Seeing this, Meng Jinyao subconsciously moved to the side of the bed until there was no room left to move.

After a while, Gu Jingxi returned to the room and saw his young wife wrapped tightly in a quilt at the innermost side of the bed. He smiled meaningfully: "Ayao, why are you hiding in there? Your husband won't eat you."

After he said that, he climbed onto the bed and carried his young wife, who was curled up at the innermost side, over to him.

Meng Jinyao swallowed, feeling that the look in his eyes was a little dangerous, and stammered, "Husband, I'm sleepy."

Gu Jingxi rarely showed any sympathy for a woman, and became hard-hearted, "You go to sleep, and I'll do mine."

As soon as he finished speaking, he tore off the quilt that Meng Jinyao was wrapped in and started to work.

Meng Jinyao was not sleepy at first. After Gu Jingxi's torment, she was tired and sleepy. But this man just wouldn't stop. He asked her to say some nice words to coax him. She said those embarrassing words over and over again, and finally fell asleep unknowingly.

The next day, it was almost noon.

Meng Jinyao woke up slowly. After opening her eyes, she saw that the room was bright, and knew it was getting late. She wanted to get up, but she felt exhausted all over, her waist was sore, and her legs were weak. She didn't want to move at all.

She opened her lips and called out "Ningdong", but when she heard her hoarse voice, she secretly cursed Gu Jingxi for having no self-control and for tormenting her so much.

Ningdong and Chunliu were waiting outside. When they heard the noise coming from inside, they hurried in to serve.

After entering, they saw the lady lying on the bed with a resentful look on her face. Just as they were about to ask her what was wrong, they heard her ask them, "What time is it now?"

Ning Dong replied, "Madam, it's almost noon now. It's just time for lunch after you wash up."

Meng Jinyao asked again: "Today seems to be a day off, where is the Marquis?"

Ning Dong replied, "The Marquis is in the study. Madam, do you want to see the Marquis? I will go and ask the Marquis to come over right away."

Ning Dong had just spoken, and before Meng Jinyao could reply, Gu Jingxi's voice came: "Ayao, are you looking for me?"

When Meng Jinyao saw him, her face suddenly darkened. She snorted and ignored him.

Chunliu and Ningdong looked at each other, not knowing what had happened to their two masters. For a moment, they didn't know whether they should go out or stay and continue serving their masters.

Gu Jingxi waved his hand, "Everyone go down, bring in some water, and help Madam wash up."

Chunliu and Ningdong retreated in response.

Gu Jingxi walked towards the bed, sat down on the edge of the bed, lowered his eyes to look at his young wife who still had a gloomy face, he reached out and picked her up and coaxed her: "It's all my fault. I made our A Yao angry. A Yao, please forgive me this time, okay? I won't dare to do it again next time."

Meng Jinyao stretched out her hand and pinched his waist, snorting: "When have you not said this before? You clearly know you are wrong, but you still dare to do it next time."

Gu Jingxi heard her hoarse voice and knew that he had gone too far last night. He coaxed her softly, "Ayao, I know I was wrong. If Ayao wants to beat you or punish you, I will accept it. Just don't be angry anymore."

Meng Jinyao glared at him and said, "You sleep in the study this month. I want to sleep with Wanwan."

Gu Jingxi sighed softly, with regret in his tone, "Then I'm afraid that Ayao can't fulfill her wish. Mother loves Wanwan very much. This morning I brought Wanwan to pay her respects. Mother was reluctant to let go of Wanwan after holding her in her arms. She kept Wanwan and said she would take care of her for a while. Ayao doesn't have to worry about Wanwan being lonely. Yunxin from Xiuyuan's family is also with mother."

Meng Jinyao: "???"

She glared at Gu Jingxi with a stern face, gritting her teeth in anger. She didn't believe that this man had no hand in this matter.

What a scheming man. He sent Wanwan to her mother-in-law while she was still asleep. He didn't know what he said to her mother-in-law, but her mother-in-law kept Wanwan and stopped her from using Wanwan as a shield.

The mother-in-law loved her grandson, and if Wanwan stayed with her for a while, she would definitely be happy. How could she go and take the child back? She could only let Wanwan stay with her mother-in-law and let her love her to her heart's content. When the mother-in-law got tired of taking care of the child, she would go and take the child back.

Gu Jingxi seemed not to notice that his young wife was angry, and continued in a soft voice: "Ayao, are you hungry? Get up and get dressed first. I asked the kitchen to cook your favorite dishes today, and you can eat later." After that, he bent down, picked up her shoes and helped her put them on, and then helped her get dressed.

Meng Jinyao was really hungry and didn't want to go against her stomach, so she let him serve her. She put on her clothes and washed up. He also helped her comb her hair. Finally, she was dressed neatly and went out to have lunch.

Gu Jingxi knew he was in the wrong, so he carefully served his little ancestor as if she were his own, almost feeding her the meal.

Perhaps because all the dishes on the table were her favorite, her taste buds were greatly satisfied. When she put down her chopsticks, Meng Jinyao looked very satisfied. She finally agreed to pay attention to him and asked, "Husband, will the results of the autumn examination be announced tomorrow?"

Gu Jingxi nodded: "Yeah, yes."

Meng Jinyao couldn't help but get nervous. Her eldest sister-in-law wanted Xiu Wen to become a successful person, and she also had high hopes for her second brother. On the one hand, she hoped that her second brother would have a promising future, but on the other hand, she was afraid of putting too much pressure on him. So, she didn't dare to show any of it in front of her second brother, for fear that he would be under too much pressure.

Gu Jingxi reached out and held her little hand, saying gently: "Don't be nervous, my second brother is still young. Even if he doesn't pass the imperial examination, he will definitely pass it in three years. However, with my second brother's current talent, if nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely pass the imperial examination."

Meng Jinyao nodded, knowing that there was no point in being nervous about this matter, as she would know the result tomorrow.
