Chapter 371: Overthrowing Phoenixes and Dragons

nyao belatedly realized what nonsense she had just uttered.She's guilty, she shouldn't have spoken up.What was just said might be praise for ordinary people, but to Gu Jingxi, it felt like an insult....His voice was soft, his expression gentle and sincere, his eyes held only her.

Meng Jinyao looked at the man before her, a warm current flowing through her heart, mixed with a hint of sweetness. Being with this man, she often felt a sense of tranquility and peace that time stood still. This kind of serenity was something she had never dared to hope for before.

Gu Jingxi could feel her unease and smiled, "My ex-fiancee has been married for many years, what are you a silly girl worrying about"

Meng Jin Yao lowered her eyes slightly. She didn't know either, anyway she couldn't help but daydream just now, perhaps it was the possessiveness hidden in her heart, too ashamed to speak of.

She fell in love with this man, and at the same time, she hoped that only she existed in his heart and eyes. There couldn't be any other woman. It was fine if he had loved someone else before, but he couldn't have any lingering feelings for that person.

Gu Jingxi said again, "Your husband is a certain age, and you are at your prime. If there's a sense of crisis, it should be me who feels it."

Meng Jinyao glared at him: "Do you have any sense of crisis"

"Ai Yao is so good, someone covets her."

Gu Jingxi finished speaking and then remembered A Yao's cousin, Master Du from the Du family. He had also advised him to divorce A Yao, clearly having romantic feelings for A Yao. But a young man's thoughts are too naive and self-righteous.

Regardless of his feelings for Ah Yao, even if there was no romantic relationship between them as husband and wife, he was willing to let go. After their divorce, the young master of the Du family would be unable to protect Ah Yao, and it was even very likely that he wouldn't be able to marry her.

Because Ah Yao's beauty was exceptional, even after marriage, she remained a virgin. Meng Dongyuan couldn't possibly marry Ah Yao to the son of a seventh-rank county magistrate. Marrying into a family of a seventh-rank county magistrate wouldn't bring any benefits.

If Master Du's father hadn't been demoted before, as the son of a fourth-rank official, Master Du would still have had a chance. Otherwise, Ah Yao would only be married off to a much older man who could bring benefits to the Meng family, even if that man was much older than Ah Yao.

Meng Jiny Yao curled her lips into a smile: "Who covets it is useless, I'm taken."

Gu Jingxi's lips curled up: "Well, whoever covets it, I won't give anyone else a chance."

Suddenly, Meng Jinyu asked, "My husband, for the banquet celebrating Lord Wei's mother's birthday in two days, what should I pay attention to"

Gu Jingxi said in a gentle tone: "There's nothing special to pay attention to. Just behave as you usually do at banquets. The guests attending the banquet the day after tomorrow are mainly local merchants and their families, officials from Huzhou Prefecture and their families, as well as some influential people and their families. You don't need to actively get close to them, nor do you need to deliberately distance yourself."

Meng Jin Yao nodded lightly.

Here's the translation:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

At night, stars are abundant.

Meng Jin Yao was lying on the bed reading when she heard footsteps. She looked up and saw a man who had just taken a bath, wearing moon-white pajamas. The collar of his shirt was slightly open, revealing a slender and white chest.

His jet-black hair cascaded down, still damp from being washed, a few strands of ink-colored locks slipping into the opening of his slightly unbuttoned collar as if trying to explore.

That beautiful, delicate face was even more charming and lovely under the light.

Under the lamplight, looking at a beautiful man, I feel delighted with every glance.

The man caught her gaze and looked over, offering a slight smile. He glanced at the book in her hand, his brow furrowed, then strode forward, taking the book from her grasp. "I told you before not to read like that," he said softly, "It damages your eyes. You promised me you'd stop, how could you forget"

Meng Jin Yao didn't reply, she just stared at Gu Jing Xi expectantly. As the man leaned down, his collar opened even wider, and a few strands of hair slipped in.

The scenery is beautiful and alluring.

Suddenly, Meng Jinyao felt that the man in front of her was a male fox spirit, disguised as a handsome scholar to tempt her, making her heart flustered.

Gu Jingxi put the book aside, looked at her dazed expression, pinched her cheek and smiled: "Don't look at me like that with innocent eyes. You didn't listen to what I said. When your eyes are tired from staring too much, I'll laugh at you for being young and having worse eyesight than me."

Meng Jinyao replied, "My husband is so handsome."

Upon hearing this, Gu Jingxi chuckled softly: “Are you trying to get away with it by saying that”

Meng Jin Yao looked at those pink lips, opening and closing slightly. Her heart moved, she reached out and hugged Gu Jing Xi's neck, kissing the man's soft lips.

The sudden kiss left Gu Jingxi stunned. She closed her eyes in response, embracing him gently. In her heart, she silently thought to herself: Fine, this time I'll let her get away with it. Next time, I must give her a proper lesson.

Upon seeing this, Meng Jinyang's eyes flashed with the gleam of success. She did want to get away with it, but she was also truly bewitched by beauty.

Before, she scorned men who were obsessed with beauty. Now, she thinks it's quite normal.

Let me know if you have anything else you'd like me to translate!

Who doesn't love beautiful things Just that face alone is pleasing to the eye, making you lose yourself in it, which is no surprise at all.

But she was different from those people. She was only devoted to her husband's beauty, and to anyone else, she would at most admire them, but not be obsessed.

After a long while, there were two pairs of shoes by the bed.

Clothes of various kinds, both men's and women's, were scattered on the ground.

The pale green garment embroidered with acacia flowers stood out strikingly against the two sets of moon-white nightclothes.

Meng Jin Yao was hazy and stared at the man with a blurry gaze.

A bead of sweat trickled down the man's temple, his cheeks flushed a delicate pink. She found him even more alluring now than before, unable to resist reaching out and touching his face.

Gu Jingxi's gaze was gentle yet restrained, as if suppressing something. His voice was low and husky as he asked, "Ayao, do you want to continue"

Meng Jinyao instinctively nodded: “Yes”

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Jingxi's eyes turned dangerous. He leaned down and kissed her lips, silencing her before she could say another word.

Meng Jin Yao quickly felt a tearing pain, she instantly woke up, her eyes brimming with tears, accusingly looking at her own husband, wondering what her husband had done to her, why it hurt so much.

She had never felt this way before; it used to be different, there was no pain and only pleasure. That's why she didn't refuse him just now either.

Gu Jingxi saw the person in his arms with furrowed brows, a pale face, and a painful expression. He couldn't bear it and wanted to retreat, but he was held tightly by the other party. He let out a low hiss.

For a moment, Gu Jingxi was caught in a difficult position. He coaxed softly, "Ayao, be good and relax.

Meng Jin Yao's eyes were misty with tears, and she called out in a pitiful voice, "Husband, it hurts."

"Be good, it won't hurt in a while."

Gu Jingxi coaxed her softly, then lowered his head to gently kiss her, silently comforting her, trying to let her loosen up from her tense state.

Soon, Meng Jingyao's thoughts were once again occupied by him, hazy and letting herself be controlled.

After a while, Meng Jin Yao, in a daze, felt something retreating.

Then, she heard the man sound a little frustrated, yet also eager to prove himself: "Ayo, let's try again.
