Song Xinning's voice was not loud, but it was not quiet either. Not only Meng Jinyao heard it, but also Gu Jingxi and Qi Yunwen who were not far away heard it clearly.

At this moment, it was as if the air had frozen, and an awkward atmosphere enveloped the entire corridor.

Meng Jinyao's eyebrows pounded, and she subconsciously took a step forward to look to the right. Sure enough, she saw her husband, Gu Jingxi. The moment their eyes met, the man looked at her with a half-smile. Her face froze, and she felt very guilty. , suddenly felt a sense of urgency to escape.

What is this thing called?

Not long ago, we were talking about him, and even a moment ago we were talking about him as an old man. Now we met him, and he could clearly hear the sound of "old man".

She visually inspected where Gu Jingxi was, which was the door of the private room next door to theirs, which happened to be separated by a private room from theirs. Since they were separated by a private room, their conversations in the private room, even if they occasionally The volume was a bit louder, but Gu Jingxi definitely didn't hear it.

Thinking of this, Meng Jinyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, raised the corners of her mouth, and stepped forward to say hello as if nothing had happened: "Husband, what a coincidence, why are you here too?"

A smile bloomed on the little girl's pretty face, and the smile reached straight into her eyes. Her beautiful eyes became more and more lively. When she slightly raised her head to look at him, she felt indescribably charming and well-behaved.

But there was a hint of unnoticeable flattery in his eyes, as if he was trying to get away with it, so that he would not pursue Miss Song's words just now, and pretend that he had heard nothing.

Gu Jingxi raised his eyebrows slightly, not intending to let her go. Not long ago, this girl told her close friends that he was lecherous, and now he was being called an old man. He replied with a half-smile, "It's quite a coincidence, but did it bother Madam?" Talk to Miss Song?"

Meng Jinyao's smile froze: "...No, no bother."

Song Xinning also knew that she had said the wrong thing, and wished she could turn back time, but she had already said it all without saying it. She could only pretend that she had not said it, and made a fool of herself. She turned to look at her uncle, took a few steps forward, and said with a flattering smile: "Uncle, Is your old man here too?"

At this moment, Qi Yunwen looked at his normally cute and lovable niece more and more dissatisfied. When he saw his niece, he remembered his friend's words, 'You are one year older than me, and I am a bad old man, so who are you? An old immortal who is about to be laid to rest? ’.

Therefore, he felt that his niece said that Yao Ling was an old man, which was equivalent to saying that he was an immortal. He was only thirty years old, so he was not an immortal.

He glared at his niece with a straight face and said angrily: "What did you say? What old man? Your uncle is just in his thirties and is still young, unlike your father, who is an old man in his late forties."

Song Xinning was choked by these words, and her smile suddenly froze. She looked at Meng Jinyao, who was also smiling awkwardly. Her eyes seemed to say: Do men care so much about what others say about their age?

"A Ning, uncle will take you to see a doctor and ask him to treat your eyes." Qi Yunwen said, taking a step forward, grabbing his niece's arm and preparing to walk to the stairs on the right. Before leaving, he looked at Meng Jinyao. Nodding gently, "Brothers and sisters, Aning's condition cannot be delayed. I will take Aning first."

Song Xinning was confused: "Uncle, there is nothing wrong with my eyes. What doctor should I see?"

"How can any patient think that there is something wrong with him?" Qi Yunwen couldn't help but drag his niece away, secretly thinking to himself that this stupid, heartless child, if he were smarter, he would know that he was helping her and taking her, the culprit, away from this embarrassment. atmosphere of.

The uncle and nephew left, and Song Xinning's maid followed them step by step.

After a while, Meng Jinyao and his wife were left in the corridor, as well as the two maids Qingqiu and Ningdong. They lowered their heads and looked at their noses and hearts.

The corridor was very quiet and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Meng Jinyao and Gu Jingxi looked at each other, trying to explain, but when faced with Gu Jingxi's half-smiling expression, she hesitated to speak. She was so embarrassed that she could dig out an acre of land with her toes. Just what Aning said... I heard it clearly.

Finally, it was Gu Jingxi who broke the silence: "Madam, do you have anything else to do?"

Meng Jinyao shook her head subconsciously: "No, is there anything else, husband?"

Gu Jingxi said: "Since everything is fine, let's go back home."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao said "Huh?" and saw that Gu Jingxi had turned around and walked towards the stairs. She hesitated for a moment and then took steps to follow. Aning had already left with Mr. Qi, so she had nothing else to do and went back to the house first. That's fine.

The couple left Charanju and immediately headed back home.

Meng Jinyao originally thought that she was going back to the house by herself, but she didn't expect that Gu Jingxi would also go back with her and share a carriage with her. She asked her two maids to go to his carriage.

On the carriage, the atmosphere was awkwardly quiet.

Meng Jinyao sat upright for a while, then she couldn't sit still. She couldn't help but look up at the man sitting opposite. Gu Jingxi said "go home" and stopped talking. She looked dull now, and she couldn't tell if it was because of An Ning. That sentence made me angry.

Sensing her gaze, Gu Jingxi glanced at her lightly, parted his lips and said, "Why are you staring at me, madam?"

Meng Jinyao immediately forced out a smile and replied, "My husband is good-looking."

Hearing this, Gu Jingxi gave a slight 'tsk' disapprovingly and said, "What's so good about an elderly man?"

Listening to this self-deprecating tone, Meng Jinyao twitched the corner of her mouth and thought to herself: Are all men that vindictive? They are all ready to go home and have to settle old scores.

But, who told her to make up for her mistakes first?

She responded with a busy smile: "My husband is in the prime of life, in his prime, and handsome. He looks only twenty-three or four years old. He doesn't look like he is twenty-nine years old. How is he old?"

"Really?" Gu Jingxi raised his eyebrows and replied in a faint tone, "I thought Madam disliked me and regretted marrying an old man of my age. Not only is the old man old, but he is also lecherous."

These words were like a thunderbolt, splitting Meng Jinyao into pieces. She suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at Gu Jingxi in shock and astonishment. The gentle and elegant Duan Fang gentleman really didn't look like someone who would listen to the corner, but if If she didn't listen to the corner, how could she know that she had told Aning that he was lustful?

She said in disbelief: "Husband, is he eavesdropping on our conversation?"

Gu Jingxi naturally would not admit that he eavesdropped on purpose. He originally wanted to listen to other people's conversations. Unexpectedly, the information was wrong and he overheard her conversation with her friend. He said without changing his expression: "Look at Madam's expression. It turns out that Madam is really talking to her." People say I’m a womanizer?”

Meng Jinyao's face froze: "???"

So she shot herself in the foot? Gu Jingxi didn't eavesdrop at all, she just said it casually, and she didn't bring it upon herself?

Gu Jingxi saw her face changing again and again, and opened her lips slightly, as if she was planning some quibbling words. She smiled slightly and said, "Madam, aren't you going to explain?"
