Marrying a childless superior, she became pregnant and lived a carefree life in the 1970s.

Chapter 41 Once we get there, I'll treat you too, okay?

Sheng Zexi knew how his wife was feeling, so he silently hugged her as she sat on the bed, letting her head rest on his chest.

Thinking of my own family, and then thinking of taking care of my family...

Sheng Zexi thought to himself, how could he not be envious?

However, things are not bad now. He married Ningning, and a son-in-law is like half a son. From now on, he is also a member of the Gu family.

These, didn't my mother-in-law also make him cotton-padded clothes?

"Brother Xi, my parents, brother and sister-in-law have been so good to me, I don't know how to repay them." Gu Jianing's voice was choked with emotion.

Looking back on her past life, Gu Jianing felt truly guilty.

My past self was such a jerk.

Sheng Zexi gently stroked her soft hair and said, "There will definitely be opportunities. Just like with your sister-in-law, you're treating her right now. There will be opportunities in the future."

"Brother Xi, I... I don't want to leave home."

"It's alright. I'll come back with you whenever I have the chance. Or, if there's an opportunity later, I can let your parents go to the Northwest."

"You can write letters or make phone calls whenever you want."

It took a long time for Sheng Zexi to calm Gu Jianing down.

"By the way, how about I treat you too when we get there?" Gu Jianing suggested.

In fact, as long as her sister-in-law gets pregnant, she will be able to get pregnant even without Sheng Zexi's treatment, thanks to the "Pregnancy Elixir".

But that would be hard to explain.

The best solution is to get Sheng Zexi's body treated properly.

This makes pregnancy a natural progression.

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Jianing felt the man's body stiffen, and then a slightly distorted voice came from above.

"Can I?"

"Of course you can. You have to trust my abilities. It's good to give it a try."

Sheng Zexi hugged Gu Jianing even tighter, "Then, once we get there, you can treat me."

If possible, he still hopes to have a child with Ningning, even just one would be good.

"Oh, right, this is for you." Sheng Zexi handed his bankbook to Gu Jianing.

Gu Jianing's beautiful eyes lit up as she took the bag. "You mean, I'll be in charge from now on?"

"Of course, you'll definitely be in charge," Sheng Zexi said without hesitation, and then opened the bankbook for Gu Jianing.

When Gu Jianing saw that there was a full five thousand yuan inside, she took a slight breath.

This amount of money would certainly not be much in modern times, but at that time it was a huge sum.

"Here are all the allowances I've saved up over the years, as well as the bonuses I've received from time to time."

Then, Sheng Zexi took out another property certificate, saying, "This is a courtyard house in Beijing that my mother left me. It's bigger than the one my grandparents gave you. If we have the chance to go back to Beijing, we can live here."

Another courtyard house in Beijing. Gu Jianing listened to Sheng Zexi's description and discovered that this courtyard house was quite close to the Forbidden City.

If this were in later generations, it would be worth countless small goals.

Indeed, in life, amniotic fluid is a watershed moment, and marrying the right husband is also a watershed moment.

She felt that after marrying Sheng Zexi, she could live a good life even without striving for anything.

"You're just handing this over to me like this? Aren't you afraid I'll squander it? After all, I'm quite good at spending money." Gu Jianing glanced at him with her beautiful eyes, wanting to know his opinion.

Although she was reborn, her spoiled nature, love of beauty, and aversion to hard work remained unchanged, and she had no intention of changing them. Sheng Zexi directly pulled his wife, who was secretly sizing him up, into his arms, resting his chin on her hair, and said, "Don't worry, do you think I don't know what you're like? I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Once it's yours, it's yours. Buy whatever you like, spend it as you please. If you don't have enough money, I'll just earn more."

Gu Jianing blinked, looked back at Sheng Zexi, looked up, her eyes bright, and praised in a sweet voice, "Brother Xi, you're so kind."

Gu Jianing thought that these were the words of a capable man. As for those incapable men, well, they would only blame their wives for spending too much and tell them to save money.

The young couple hugged for a while, quietly enjoying the moment. After a long while, Sheng Zexi finally spoke.

"Okay, go wash up, then let's go to sleep."

"Ah."

After washing up and lying in bed, the two realized that tonight was their wedding night.

Thinking of this, Gu Jianing immediately became nervous.

Sheng Zexi smiled and pulled his wife into his arms, covering them both with a blanket. He said, "Don't expect it. I won't touch you tonight. We have to catch the train tomorrow morning. It's a three-day, two-night train ride, which is very tiring. I won't bother you. I'll make up for tonight's wedding night with you when we get to the Northwest."

Gu Jianing blushed with embarrassment at his words and reached out to push him away.

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not looking forward to it at all." And what's with all this talk about a wedding night? How can this person talk so improperly?

Gu Jianing tried to push Sheng Zexi away, but as soon as she reached out, she touched his strong, muscular muscles, which burned her so much that she instinctively tried to pull her hand away.

Unexpectedly, Sheng Zexi grabbed her soft, boneless hand and gently pulled her, causing the petite Gu Jianing to nestle into the arms of the tall Sheng Zexi.

"Oh dear." Gu Jianing was caught off guard, her voice sweet and coquettish, as if she were pouting.

Sheng Zexi looked down at his little wife in his arms. Her delicate face was pretty and rosy like a peach blossom, and her almond eyes seemed to hold a pool of autumn water, sparkling. Looking at her, one could unconsciously fall into her arms.

Her red lips were full and glossy.

Sheng Zexi couldn't resist and lowered his head to kiss him.

Gu Jianing was forced to tilt her head back and endure it.

This was, in fact, their first kiss since they met.

At this moment, everything around seemed to quiet down, so quiet that only the strong, increasingly rapid heartbeats of the two could be heard.

After a long while, Sheng Zexi finally let go.

At this moment, Gu Jianing was panting, her eyes already glazed over.

It took a while to recover.

"Alright, go to sleep," Sheng Zexi said, patting her back.

"Ah."

Gu Jianing leaned against Sheng Zexi's chest and closed her eyes. She thought she might not be able to fall asleep.

After all, this was the first time in two lifetimes that she had shared a bed with Sheng Zexi.

Unexpectedly, smelling the man's unique herbal scent, Gu Jianing fell asleep without realizing it.

When Gu Jianing woke up the next day, it was still dark. She thought she had woken up early, but when she heard the noise outside, she realized that her family must have been awake for a long time and were making final preparations for her and Sheng Zexi to take the train.

Sheng Zexi was no longer by his side at some point.

Gu Jianing also got up and, taking advantage of Sheng Zexi's absence, began to put some valuable items into the system's space.

For example, bankbooks, money, tickets, property deeds, and the box and case containing gold bars and jewelry...

Sheng Zexi probably won't ask, and even if he does, she can say that she has kept it safe.
