"if not?"

Meng Jinyao glanced at Gu Jingxi with strange eyes, and saw the man's expression was strange. The next moment, she thought of a possibility and asked hesitantly: "Husband, do you think this set of clothes is for you?"

Gu Jingxi: "..."

The couple's eyes met, big eyes staring at small eyes.

The atmosphere suddenly felt indescribably awkward. Qingqiu on the side looked at his nose and heart, trying to reduce his sense of presence as much as possible.

After a long while, Meng Jinyao smiled coquettishly, opened her lips again and said, "How can I ruin a handsome man like my husband with such clothes?"

Gu Jingxi raised his eyebrows: "What about father-in-law?"

Meng Jinyao looked at him without blinking and smiled flatteringly: "How can he compare with my husband? There is a difference between you two." She thought for a while and added, "He is mud. "

What she said was sincere.

It is true that her father Yongchang Bo was also a handsome man when he was young. Now he is in his thirties and has not gained weight. He is also considered a handsome man among middle-aged people. Otherwise, how would there be a young and beautiful maid rushing to climb into bed?

But there is no comparison with Gu Jingxi. Not to mention appearance, there is a huge difference in temperament.

Gu Jingxi saw that the little girl had a sweet smile and sincere eyes when trying to please others. No one would doubt the authenticity of these words. He chuckled and said, "Flattery."

Meng Jinyao blinked her eyes, looking innocent.

Gu Jingxi asked: "Is this what you want to give to your father-in-law for his birthday?"

Meng Jinyao snorted in dissatisfaction: "I can give him a face if I can buy him a set of clothes. If I don't give this, how can I give him gold and silver? If he treats me and has a mother-in-law who treats me so well, I will definitely prepare his birthday carefully. Gift."

After hearing this, Gu Jingxi said again: "Then I..."

Before he finished speaking, Meng Jinyao guessed what he was going to say and interrupted him, saying: "Husband, I have prepared this for you. My father likes to drink tea, so I have prepared an elegant set for you. Although the tea set is not expensive, it is very exquisite and will not embarrass you."

The gifts given by the juniors were given according to their taste, and it was hard to fault. Even if the couple did not take that scumbag Meng Dongyuan to heart, they still had to live up to their reputation, but they could not be seen by other guests. If word spread, their reputation would be ruined. .

Gu Jingxi nodded lightly, not daring to object, but it refreshed his understanding of the little girl. In his understanding, the little girl was quite generous. Unexpectedly, she was surprisingly stingy to her father, and not generous to the maid.

Meng Jinyao looked at him, knowing what he was thinking, and said calmly: "He doesn't deserve it."

Only a good father can have a filial child. Although her father did not personally chastise her, he acquiesced in the family's chastity and neglect of her. He watched with cold eyes as she struggled in dire straits in the Meng family. He also betrayed her mother and protected her. The murderer of her mother.

What is the difference between this father and his enemy?

She sent expensive gifts and added to the Meng family's treasury. She was not that stupid. Her second brother Chengzhang was a child of the Meng family, but if there were any good things that could not be passed on to her second brother, she If the older sister wants to subsidize her younger brother, she will do so privately.

Seeing the little girl's mood swings, Gu Jingxi waved his hand to ask Qingqiu to step aside. Then he put the clothes in his hands aside, sat down next to her, and said warmly: "With your husband here, they can't bully you in the future. You did bad things." People will one day pay the price for their actions."

His gentle tone and warm voice make people feel like spring breeze in their ears.

Meng Jinyao was very angry when she thought of her father's disgusting behavior. But when she heard these words, the small fire in her heart was extinguished. A warm current flowed through her heart. She looked sideways at the man beside her and couldn't help but bend her head. The corner of his mouth: "Husband, are you trying to support me?"

Gu Jingxi replied: "Husband and wife are one body, sharing weal and woe. If they bully you, doesn't that mean they bully me?"

Meng Jinyao nodded seriously: "Then, the wife of Marquis Changxing was bullied. Isn't it because Marquis Changxing was useless? How can a capable man dare to bully someone else's wife?"

Hearing this, Gu Jingxi choked and said angrily and amusedly: "Is it useless to scold your husband?"

"No way?" Meng Jinyao looked at him with a smile, "I am echoing what you said. No one is bullying me now, which proves that my husband is still useful."

Gu Jingxi pursed her lips and smiled, not arguing with her, thinking that on her father-in-law's birthday, it was not Xiu Mu, but the little girl went back to her parents' house by herself, and those people were probably going to cause trouble again.

Not only the Meng family, but also some guests are here. There will always be people who like to use their status as elders to take advantage of Qiao. As a junior, the little girl is very difficult to deal with. With him here, considering his status, those people do not dare to act presumptuously. .

With this in mind, he said, "Madam, I'm going to take a day off and go back with you."

Meng Jinyao felt very happy after hearing this. She thought that her husband was really great and very responsible. What married woman would not want her husband to accompany her when she went back to her parents' home?

In this way, the girl has face. In the eyes of outsiders, the girl is valued by her husband. Those who have a bad relationship with their husband and can only go back to their parents' home alone don't know what it will be like to be ridiculed.

But Gu Jingxi was very busy recently, and she still knew it. She accepted her thoughts and said considerately: "My husband is busy with official duties recently. I just want to go back by myself. I'm sorry they don't dare to do anything to me."

Gu Jingxi smiled and said: "I have stolen half a day's leisure from Fusheng. I finally have a reason to be lazy. Madam, please help me."

Will Gu Siqing be lazy because he forgets to eat and sleep because of official duties?

Meng Jinyao paused, raised her eyes, and looked at him with a strange expression. She saw a faint smile on his lips, gentle eyebrows, and a smile in his narrow phoenix eyes. He looked gentle and easy to talk to.

She vaguely remembered that when she first got married, Gu Jingxi didn't seem to be that easy to talk to. Now that she was like this, she suddenly started to wonder, was Gu Jingxi worried about her being bullied?

She curved her lips and smiled: "Suddenly I realized that you are a very nice person to talk to."

Gu Jingxi chuckled: "Look at what you said, does Madam think I used to speak very hard?"

Meng Jinyao choked in her heart and looked at him with innocent eyes: "You said this yourself. I never said that. Husband, please don't accuse me wrongly."

Gu Jingxi said "hmm" noncommittally.

Meng Jinyao didn't know what to say for a moment. She didn't understand the court affairs, so she had finished talking about the business. The two of them were far apart in age, so they had nothing in common. After being silent for a while, she suddenly said: "By the way, I'll prepare something for your husband." I almost forgot about the mung bean soup to cool down the heat, so I asked the maid to bring it over."

After saying this, she stood up suddenly and walked outside the house.

Gu Jingxi looked at her slender and graceful back, his eyes becoming gentler. Since he drank the iced water chestnuts and lychee syrup left by the little girl last time, the little girl would prepare some soup for him to cool down from time to time. Every time the soup was different.

He suddenly realized the feeling of "knowing the cold and knowing the heat" that his mother often said.

It was a subtle feeling, and he felt good.
