Chapter 141 Love
Xu Qingmeng wasn't that delicate; she was just pregnant and Gu Yunyi doted on her, so she got used to it.

She was quite pleased with the man's thoughtfulness and said with a smile, "Of course, there are a lot of people today, so I thought I'd give you some face. In the future, I won't take your job."

"Then I must thank my wife for her thoughtfulness," Gu Yunyi said with a smile.

Xu Qingmeng smiled, then sat down on the bed to rest, and asked, "By the way, what happened to Young Master Jiang and the others? Weren't they staying there just fine?"

At this point, Gu Yunyi also had a lot to say.

"They were unwilling to pay for two side rooms, so they made a deal with the landlord that they would only rent one side room. The landlord agreed and rented the other side room to someone else. The newcomers were also a couple, the same couple we saw in this courtyard before. Don't let the wife's gentle and weak appearance fool you; she's quite competitive and ambitious."

Gu Yunyi told Xu Qingmeng that the young wife was someone who liked to take advantage of others, and Sun Jingyi was also someone who didn't like to suffer losses.

The couple hadn't been in the yard for long when they got into an argument over who should wash first and who should wash last, since there was a well in the yard.

Since it was Sun Jingyi's first time experiencing this, she inevitably felt a little wronged, so she complained to Jiang Mingyu and cried about it. As a result, the young wife started to make veiled accusations.

They said Sun Jingyi was flirting with men in the yard during the day, and that she didn't even realize there were other men in the yard besides her husband.

However, Gu Yunyi found out all of this from the sidelines. When he went to call the two people for lunch, they felt embarrassed to come empty-handed, so they bought some vegetables and planned to cook two dishes to bring over.

Who would have thought that the young wife would occupy the kitchen, taking over both the large and small stoves?

Jiang Mingyu and his wife wanted to discuss it with his wife, but naturally they couldn't reach an agreement, and the two sides had another big argument.

It was only after Gu Yunyi arrived and pulled the two away that the matter was settled; otherwise, who knows how long it would have dragged on.

Xu Qingmeng was very troubled when she heard this, but fortunately she did not soften her heart and rented that room to the young couple.

Fortunately, Hui Niang's family was nice; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to handle these trivial matters.

Gu Yunyi added, "I suspect she'll be coming over again soon. If she's too noisy, just ignore her and tell her you're pregnant and need to rest more."

Gu Yunyi knew Xu Qingmeng quite well, knowing that she liked quiet, and that given Sun Jingyi's personality, he figured she probably wouldn't like her too much either.

Gu Yunyi made it clear in advance so that she wouldn't feel awkward refusing him because of her pride.

Xu Qingmeng shook her head: "It's not that bad, after all, we're from the same county."

She lay on the bed, which was naturally not as big as the one at home; it was a bit small, and because it was summer, it was covered with a mosquito net.

Xu Qingmeng gently brushed her hair away, but it wouldn't go away and was blocked again, the thorns circling her neck and making her very uncomfortable.

Gu Yunyi happened to be lying down when he saw her, so he casually brushed her hair aside.

His fingers accidentally touched her neck, and the warmth between his fingertips made his heart tremble.

In the afternoon, when Gu Yunyi went to bed, Xu Qingmeng was already asleep.

But things are different now. As Gu Yunyi walked toward the bed, Xu Qingmeng had already moved closer to the inside.

However, the bed was small, and there was a blanket between the two of them. If she moved any further in, she would be right against the wall. When Gu Yunyi lay down, their arms were touching.

She felt a little uncomfortable and moved further inside. Seeing this, Gu Yunyi immediately stretched out his arm and said, "Don't lean against the wall, it's cold and bad for your health."

Then his long arm encircled her waist, pulling her slightly to his side, and he held her there, showing no intention of letting go. "Hot..."

"It's hot there. You've had a long day. Go to sleep." He turned to his side, placed his hand on her body, and patted her gently as if soothing a child.

His palm seemed to have a magical power; Xu Qingmeng's tense body relaxed instantly.

Xu Qingmeng quickly fell asleep.

After Gu Yunyi saw that the person beside him was breathing evenly, he opened his eyes and just looked at her quietly.

The night was as still as a piece of black silk, gently covering the small courtyard.

Moonlight streamed through the mottled window frame, spilling onto the bed and outlining Xu Qingmeng's serene sleeping face, as well as the silhouette of Gu Yunyi's gentle gaze.

Gu Yunyi's gaze was like a clear spring, slowly flowing between Xu Qingmeng's eyebrows and eyes.

He looked at her slightly trembling eyelashes, like two light butterfly wings, as if gently fluttering in a dream breeze.

Xu Qingmeng's breathing was even and gentle, each breath seeming like the most moving melody in the world, resonating in his heart.

In the quiet night, his heart was filled with love and tenderness for her. His love was like a flower blooming under the moonlight, exuding a faint fragrance that permeated the entire room.

The next morning, Gu Yunyi got up early to study.

There is no study in this courtyard, but there is a main hall in the main house, which is where they ate yesterday.

The place wasn't very big, but luckily there was a large table, so Gu Yunyi took his books and went over there.

However, when they arrived, Fang Ziheng was already there and sitting at the table.

Little Yuanbao was also sitting on a small stool nearby, playing with a cloth tiger in his hand and muttering something to himself.

"Brother Fang, why are you here so early?" Gu Yunyi said in a low voice.

Fang Ziheng smiled helplessly, then pointed to Yuanbao beside him: "Isn't it because of him? Kids usually wake up early. He won't sleep, and he's making it impossible for others to sleep either."

Gu Yunyi smiled, walked over and ruffled Yuanbao's hair.

Yuanbao didn't dodge; instead, he looked up at the somewhat unfamiliar uncle and then gave him a big smile.

Then he lowered his head and began to play with the cloth tiger in his hand.

That smile made even Gu Yunyi, who considered himself a hard-hearted person, feel that it was adorable. He naturally began to fantasize in his mind whether Xu Qingmeng would be just as adorable after giving birth to her child, and it would be even better if it were a daughter.

"Is Yuanbao usually this clingy to you?" Gu Yunyi asked as he sat down. Usually, children are more attached to their mothers than to their fathers.

Fang Ziheng looked at Yuanbao with a gentle smile and a touch of melancholy: "Sigh, there's nothing I can do. Something happened at home last year, and the child was a little frightened. Ever since then, he's been very attached to me."

Fang Ziheng seemed to realize something and said apologetically, "Brother Gu, did I disturb your studies? How about I take Yuanbao inside to play?"

Gu Yunyi waved his hand: "No, Brother Fang, you misunderstood. My younger brother and sister are two little devils at home, much noisier than yours. It's just that kids this age are usually more attached to their mothers, so I asked."
