Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

Chapter 439 Collision of Thoughts

After Ji Mingzhao finished speaking, he turned and went into the house.

He was now a little worried that she would think that he had deliberately asked Xiaohan to say this in front of her, and he felt a little worried.

Xiaohan quickly followed him in and saw Ji Mingzhao’s not very good face.

Xiaohan spoke cautiously, "Mr. Ji..."

Did he mean well but do something bad again?

Ji Mingzhao finally sighed helplessly and said to Xiaohan: "Don't do this next time."

No matter what my wife wants to do or who she chooses, it is her freedom. How can I interfere with her decision?

Seeing that he was no longer angry with her, Xiaohan said with a smile, "Okay, I won't do this again."

Ji Mingzhao asked, "Where's An An? Has he rested?"

Ever since An An knew that his wife wanted to hire a master to teach him and Xiao Nian to read, he was extremely happy and looked forward to the master's coming every day.

He originally thought that as a boy, An An should just learn embroidery skills well and find a suitable family to marry him in the future, and there was no need for him to learn to read and write.

But his wife didn't think so, and actually let him study with Xiao Nian.

When Xiaohan heard him asking about An An, he hurried to bring An An over.

"Dad, what do you want from me?"

An An walked quickly to Ji Mingzhao, looked up and asked.

Ji Mingzhao touched his forehead gently and said, "It's nothing, I just wanted to see if you had rested."

An An pulled Ji Mingzhao's sleeve, looking expectant. "Dad, do you think I can go to the academy like my two sisters?"

"Nonsense! How can a man go to a college?"

An An's ears drooped. "But, didn't Mom tell me to study with Little Sister Nian? Why can't I go to the academy?"

Ji Mingzhao taught him: "Sooner or later you will get married like your father did. Having a wife who treats you well in the future is more important than anything else."

An An was a little confused. Looking at his expression, Ji Mingzhao knew that it was too early to tell him this.

"Forget it, go back and rest first. Don't think about things you shouldn't think about."

But who would have thought that this time, An An not only did not listen to him and go back, but also took off her shoes and socks and sat on his bed.

He said, "I want to sleep with Dad tonight. I'm scared to sleep alone."

"You are six years old, and you are still afraid?" Ji Mingzhao looked at him and asked with a smile.

However, he did not refuse An An's request. After turning off the lights, he hugged him and slept together.

However, An An's eyes were wide open in the darkness, and she showed no sign of wanting to sleep.

Ji Mingzhao couldn't help but ask An An: "Aren't you sleepy?"

An An shook her head and said, "Dad, I was just thinking about what you just said to me. Could it be that my final destination can only be to get married?"

"if not?"

An An answered seriously, "I can also learn martial arts from Mom. I also want to do business in the future and buy Dad lots of jewelry and clothes."

His innocent answer warmed Ji Mingzhao's heart, and he couldn't help but raise his hands and hug him.

An An continued, "But if I get married, I won't be able to do these things. So, I don't want to get married."

"Nonsense, just think about it!"

An An suddenly felt a little aggrieved. He asked Ji Mingzhao, "Dad, were you happy when you first married Mom?"

Ji Mingzhao couldn't help but think of the time when he first came to the Gu family.

At that time, his wife actually looked down on him. He himself knew that he was just the son of a servant and had a low status. His mother even allowed his brothers and servants in the house to bully him.

Therefore, when he first arrived at the Gu family, he was very cautious. Even though he was arranged to live in Qingfengyuan, a remote place with no furniture in the house, he did not dare to complain at all.

He said hoarsely, "This is different."

His later wife treated him very well and let him be the first to conceive her child. He was already satisfied.

An An asked: "Why is it different?"

Ji Mingzhao said with a stern face, "Stop talking and go to sleep."

Maybe he shouldn't have agreed to let the kid stay and sleep with him.

But my thoughts drifted further and further away uncontrollably.

An An felt a little aggrieved. He turned his back and looked at the wall.

The scene in Ji Mingzhao's eyes remained at the last time he was beaten.

Because he was not valued, he had long been accustomed to doing everything by himself when he was in Qingfeng Garden.

The servants would secretly divide up the cloth, jewelry, and food that originally belonged to him.

He had no one to rely on and every night he would stare blankly into the dark room.

Because even the kerosene that was burning in the house had been taken away by the servants, he tripped several times because he couldn't see clearly in the dark.

The wife was offended by Zhengjun again, so she came over angrily and punched and kicked him.

He was slapped several times in the face. He felt a buzzing in his head and thought he was going deaf.

He only spent a few days recuperating from his injuries, and every breath he took caused his internal organs to ache.

But then, she suddenly changed.

She would no longer call herself a "bitch" or hit herself, and would gently call herself "A Zhao".

She would also buy things for herself and replace all the servants around him so that they would treat her well.

He originally thought that she wanted to torture him again, or that she would be nice to him first to let him down and then give him to others as a plaything.

But she didn't.

He accepted her kindness to him with fear, afraid that she would return to her old ways the next day.

Gradually, Ji Mingzhao discovered that she had really changed, not just in behavior.

Because he was often bullied, he learned to observe secretly.

Ji Mingzhao discovered that some of her small habits were actually different from before.

Perhaps a person's personality will change drastically after being stimulated, but some behaviors are developed since childhood and will not change easily.

But anyway, it's a good thing.

Ji Mingzhao looked at the moonlight coming in from the window, and vaguely saw himself that winter, without thick bedding or charcoal fire for warmth, squatting in the corner, covered with wounds.

No matter who your wife is, she will always be your best wife.

An An beside him seemed to have fallen asleep. Ji Mingzhao covered him with a blanket and closed his eyes and fell asleep.

......

After dawn, Gu Qingyuan will set off for Jiangcheng.

Originally, she didn't want to disturb their rest.

But she never expected that when she got up, she found that they had been waiting for her for a long time.

Wen Shubai held Xiao Nian's hand. She walked over and asked, "Why are you up so early?"

She originally thought she got up early enough.

Wen Shubai looked at her and said reluctantly, "Knowing that my wife was going out, I couldn't sleep, so I got up before dawn."

Xiao Nian said beside him: "Dad, I need to fix my hair and draw my eyebrows in the morning..."

Wen Shubai reached out to cover her mouth.

Only then did Gu Qingyuan take a closer look at Wen Shubai, who had shiny black hair and a rosy face.
