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

Chapter 600 Longevity

Suddenly, Zhang saw a familiar figure walking towards them, so she retracted her gaze, turned her head to look at Meng Jinyao, and said with a smile: "Look, I was just talking about my third brother, and he's back."

Meng Jinyao looked up and saw the man in the crimson official robe walking towards them. When Wanwan saw her father, she called "Dad" in a baby voice and stretched out her little hands as if asking for a hug.

After a while, Gu Jingxi walked up to them and called Zhang "Sister-in-law". Then he skillfully reached out and picked up the child in Meng Jinyao's arms who was asking for a hug. He weighed the child and said, "This kid has become a lot heavier. Next time, don't spoil him. Let him walk by himself. At worst, walk slower and let him follow."

Meng Jinyao responded with a smile, and seeing that he took the child and held it in his arms without putting it down, with an appearance of saying one thing but doing another, she couldn't help laughing out loud.

Gu Jingxi asked, "What is Ayao laughing at?"

Meng Jinyao shook her head: "Nothing."

Zhang didn't want to disturb the family of three, so she said, "Third brother, third sister-in-law, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Meng Jinyao nodded: "Take care, sister-in-law."

After Zhang walked away, Gu Jingxi asked curiously, "Ayao, what did you whisper to your sister-in-law just now?"

Meng Jinyao was slightly startled, then asked, "Why do you ask that, my husband?"

Gu Jingxi replied: "From a distance, I saw you and your sister-in-law huddled together, seemingly whispering something."

Meng Jinyao thought of what Zhang had said to her, and her eyes became subtle when she looked at Gu Jingxi. Sometimes she hoped that her husband would start to go downhill after the age of thirty, just like her sister-in-law said. In this way, she wouldn't have to be so sleepy that she didn't want to get up the next morning.

Gu Jingxi was confused by her gaze, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Nothing, just a few casual words." Meng Jinyao shook her head slightly and changed the subject, "Husband, why did my second brother and sister-in-law suddenly agree to let Xiuhong marry that girl?"

Gu Jingxi replied, "I don't know. Maybe Xiuhong insisted, so they had no choice but to agree."

Meng Jinyao was curious about his attitude and asked, "What do you think of this marriage, husband?"

Gu Jingxi's pertinent comment: "When it comes to relationships, it's like drinking water; only the person who drinks it knows whether it's hot or cold. What others may think is incompatible may not necessarily be the case for the person involved. I really admire Xiuhong's attitude towards relationships at this moment. If Xiuhong is not mistaken, then this is indeed a good girl. And if he can stick to his original intention, he won't regret not marrying a girl of equal status in the future. It will be a good marriage."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao suddenly thought of Gu Xiuming. Gu Xiuming ran away from his marriage to elope with Li Wan'er. After being caught, he decided not to marry because Li Wan'er could not be his legal wife. But in the end, he regretted it. Would Xiuhong regret it? Probably not. Xiuhong was a responsible person, unlike Gu Xiuming.

Gu Jingxi saw that her eyes were blank and her brows were furrowed, as if she was thinking about something, so he asked, "What are you thinking about? You look so engrossed."

Meng Jinyao replied, "I thought of Gu Xiuming."

Gu Jingxi frowned, "Why would you want to think about that evil creature?"

Meng Jinyao said, "Xiuhong is different from him. He will fight with the elders and get their consent to let him marry his sweetheart. He won't do anything shameful that would bring disgrace to the family."

Gu Jingxi's face faltered, and he was thankful that the evildoer had revealed his true nature so early on. Otherwise, by the time he died, the Marquisate would have been handed over to that evildoer, and the century-old foundation might have been destroyed in an instant. Furthermore, even if that evildoer hadn't run away from the marriage and married A-yao, he wouldn't have treated her well after the marriage. It was only a matter of time before he took Li Wan'er into the mansion, and there was no telling how A-yao would be tortured. It would have been like jumping from the Meng family's hell into the Gu family's, ruining her life.

He freed one hand to hold Meng Jinyao's hand and said gently, "Ayao, it's all in the past. Don't mention him. It's unlucky."

Meng Jinyao nodded, shook his hand in return, interlocked their fingers, tilted her head and smiled at him: "Husband, let's go out for a walk tonight. Tomorrow you have a day off, so you don't need to get up early. We can go home later and send her to mother's place in the evening."

Gu Jingxi nodded in agreement, holding the child and leading her to Old Madam Gu's yard. He handed the child to Old Madam Gu, then returned to his own yard to change into casual clothes, and the couple went out.

As the lights came on, the capital city was illuminated as bright as day.

Meng Jinyao looked at the bustling night market and relaxed completely. She pulled him through the endless stream of people, looking here and there, having a lot of fun.

Over here, Old Madam Gu held her little grandson, who had grown heavier recently, and said to Aunt Feng with emotion, "Luckily, they had a child not too late. If they had waited a few years longer, my health would have been too weak, and I probably wouldn't have been able to hold my grandson, let alone see him get married."

Nanny Feng said, "Old Madam, please stop saying that. You are in good health and will definitely live to be a hundred years old. Even if the Marquis and his wife give birth to another child in a few years, you will be able to carry them and you will definitely see them get married and start their own families."

Madam Gu glared at her and said, "You're the only one who knows how to make me happy. I know my age now, and I'm open-minded about life and death. I'm already very satisfied to see Yao Ling have a child in my lifetime. Even if I die now, I won't have any regrets."

Aunt Feng said hurriedly, "Pooh, pooh, pooh, you will live a hundred years."

At this time, Wanwan's soft and tender voice also sounded: "Live a hundred years." He didn't know what it meant. Seeing that his grandmother was stunned when she heard this, she repeated it several times, "Live a hundred years, live a hundred years, live a hundred years."

Madam Gu looked at her innocent little grandson. For some reason, her eyes suddenly turned red and her voice choked with sobs: "Okay, okay, grandma will live a long life and watch our son Wanwan grow up, get married and have children."

Wanwan looked at her blankly, handed her the bun in his hand, which he had gnawed until only the skin was broken, and said, "Eat, eat."

Madam Gu didn't mind his saliva at all. She took the bun and started eating it. While eating, she corrected him: "Wanwan, you should eat the bun, not the meal. This is a bun."

Wanwan blinked at her and replied, "Eat, eat."

Madam Gu patiently corrected her: "It's eating buns."

"Eat, eat, eat." Wanwan responded to her stubbornly and said it twice.

Madam Gu couldn't help but laugh, "Your stubborn temper is somewhat inherited from your grandfather. Once you've made up your mind, no one can stop you from saying anything. This won't do. You'll suffer greatly in the future."

Wanwan didn't understand what she said. She blinked her bright eyes and looked at her, giggling innocently.

Seeing this, Madam Gu felt her heart melt. She looked up at Nanny Feng and said with a smile, "Look at this little guy. Yao Ling wasn't that cute back then, was he?"

Nanny Feng replied, "The Marquis was also adorable when he was young, just as adorable as the young Master, but it's been so long that you've forgotten."

"Really?" Madam Gu said disapprovingly, "But I think Wanwan is cuter."

Nanny Feng smiled but said nothing. It is said that generations apart are closely related, and that is absolutely true.
