s the eldest daughter of the family and the first grandchild of the Meng family, you should be cherished by your family. Why is this" In the past, he hadn't paid much attention to this young lady beca...As expected, the newlyweds simply slept under the covers.

Exhausted from a day of turmoil and an absurd wedding, Meng Jin Yao fell into a deep sleep despite being in an unfamiliar environment with a mature man lying beside her.

After all, her husband had a secret illness, but she was not at all flustered. Even if her husband didn't have an illness, she wouldn't shy away from consummation. She was already married, so what was the point of being a chaste and virtuous woman who guarded her purity It would be meaningless.

Gu Jingxi didn't know what kind of mood he was in as he lay down. He had lived for twenty-nine years, and this was the first time he had slept in the same bed as a young lady. He imagined that the other party must be nervous and unable to sleep because she was a girl from a good family, but unexpectedly, after a while, he heard even breathing beside him.

He looked sideways at his unsuspecting, soundly sleeping new wife in surprise. The young girl was only fifteen or sixteen years old, yet she had such a composed and unperturbed demeanor. She seemed so calm and collected, not like a girl her age. He wondered how she had cultivated this state of mind, but he couldn't help but question if she would be able to maintain it in the days to come.

The next day.

A faint light pierced through the clouds, dispelling the darkness. Meng Jin Yao woke up slowly, opening her eyes to see unfamiliar curtains. Her face tightened, and then she remembered what happened yesterday, instantly letting out a sigh of relief.

She turned her head to the outside of the bed, her new husband's eyes were closed and he was still asleep.

Gu Jingxi is truly handsome, with features as delicately drawn as paintings and a complexion as flawless as jade. He is the most striking-looking person in the Gu family. It's said that his former fiancée was also the first beauty of the capital city. Unfortunately, he fell ill, causing his fiancée to break off the engagement. Had it not been for this misfortune, the union of the first handsome man and the first beauty in the capital would have been a truly captivating sight.

After a moment, Gu Jingxi suddenly opened her eyes and asked, "Are you done looking"

A voice suddenly rang out, startling Meng Jinyáo. She steadied herself and calmly replied, "No, my husband is handsome. Shouldn't he be allowed to be looked at"

Gu Jingxi was speechless. Yesterday, she thought she was bold and composed, but today she found that she was also quite sharp-tongued. She sat up straight, looked down at her with a superior air, and asked in a cool voice, "Why is it me"

Meng Jinyao knew what he was asking, so she shrugged nonchalantly and said calmly: "Husband, wouldn't you think you are the best choice Your two nephews, neither of them can protect me. On your son's wedding day, he eloped. What good could I have if I married him And you are the head of the family, the most honorable position. Marrying you means becoming a Marquise. Who could bully me then Even your son would have to call me mother and greet me. Wouldn't it be great to have such a good son-in-law"

Gu Jingxi was stunned. He hadn't expected her to be so forthright. As for the last sentence, she must have been being sarcastic. That wasn't a well-behaved child; that was a disrespectful and irresponsible one. Of course, being a sister-in-law or brother-in-law's wife wasn't as good as being a mother. With her seniority, there were many things she could do.

Look, the corner of her mouth twitched slightly upwards, and a flash of cunning light quickly swept across her eyes. She finally had some of the vivacity that a young girl should have. Gu Jingxi smiled with interest and said, "After Xiu Ming was adopted, he didn't have his mother's upbringing, and his temper is stubborn. In the future, I would ask Madam to put in more effort in educating him."

Meng Jin Yao exclaimed in surprise, "Husband, aren't you afraid that I will bully him as an elder"

Gu Jingxi didn't care much and said, "He needs to be disciplined. You should handle it, Madam."

Meng Jinyao was stunned. Could it be that Gu Jingxi wasn't afraid of her vicious heart, that she would get rid of Gu Xiuming Or perhaps, because Gu Xiuming wasn't his biological son, he didn't care much about him She looked at the ledger, and the recorded income on it was good. This Zhuangzi had been under Gu Jingxi's name for decades.She had looked through so many ledgers and made a rough estimate of Gu Jing...
