Chapter 45 Daddy’s Child Bride Part 6

In the early morning of early summer, the mountains and forests were covered with mist and mist, and the morning dew was heavy. The slow breeze brought a coolness, waking up the white birds and animals.

Xie Lang and Gu Mingyue got up early, packed their bags, closed their doors and headed towards Jijiang City.The basket on the man’s back is filled with all kinds of processed animal skins, which he plans to take to the market today to exchange for some money to support his family.

This trip to the market would only take about an hour and a half according to Xie Lang’s usual schedule, but because there is an extra Gu Mingyue this time, their time on the road will be lengthened. After all, the little girl’s physical strength cannot keep up with the thirty-year-old man.

Gu Mingyue rarely has the opportunity to walk in the mountains. She mostly moves in the valleys or nearby forests. On weekdays, she goes into the mountains just to pick some wild fruits and mushrooms, dig some wild vegetables and other ingredients, and rarely goes deep into the mountains and forests.

During the time she came to this mission world, she had not yet had a chance to take a look out of the valley.

On the trail, listening to the chirping of white birds in the woods and the clear moans brought by the wind blowing through the leaves, and looking at the vibrant greenery, Gu Mingyue took a deep breath and jumped up and down happily, acting like a naturally wild child.

She was looking forward to this trip to the market. From her past life to the beginning of the mission, as long as the background of the mission era was ancient times, she was almost always a bird imprisoned in a cage. She could not fly out or walk far. Whether she was a noble lady or a maid, she had to dress up at all times and not be restricted in her behavior. The feeling of freedom made Gu Mingyue feel the taste of freedom.

Her smile sparkled like a diamond, her bright eyes shone like stars, and her whole face was radiant.Xie Lang looked at his little daughter, who was running with her arms outstretched and jumping for joy. A joyful smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and her slightly depressed mood became brighter.

Things that are supposed to come will eventually come, as long as he can always see her happy, Xie Lang thought.

The two of them walked and stopped all the way, and when they arrived at the market, the time happened to be stuck at the opening hour.

Xie Lang and Gu Mingyue found a small piece of land on the market floor, spread a brown linen cloth on the ground, and placed animal skins hunted from the mountains and forests on it.

They sat side by side on the ground and waited for a while, and then one after another people came over to ask Xie Lang about the price.These people touched and pinched the fur with their hands, but their eyes kept drifting to Gu Mingyue. It was obvious that the drunkard was not interested in drinking.

Most of the people who came to inquire about the price were young men of various ages. In order to take a second look at Gu Mingyue, they picked here and there. It took a long time to pick out the least outstanding piece of fur from a pile of fur. After paying the corresponding amount of money, they turned around and left. The reluctance to leave made Xie Lang’s forehead tighten and anger filled.

These little bastards dare to think of his little daughter who is like a fairy virgin. They are simply overestimating their abilities!But he didn’t know what he was thinking of. The moment Xie Lang became angry, his expression turned gloomy.

Gu Mingyue was looking at the bustling market with relish. How could those young men compare with the handsome, powerful and capable male protagonist in the mission world? In her heart, the only thing that could be more important than the mission hero was…that’s all. Some things can be remembered inadvertently at all times, but they cannot be thought about deeply. Gu Mingyue knows this very well and does not touch the dusty memory easily.

Then she thought of her previous life, when she was the princess of Yuhua Princess, when she wanted to buy something, she would not directly ask her servants to call the shopkeepers of well-known shops and directly take the goods to the house for her to select.

Even when she was on a mission, she had never been seen on the street before. This time, she could sit cross-legged on the floor of the market and observe the bustling crowd without caring about her appearance. How could it not be new?

Occasionally, there would be some middle-aged men coming to pick out furs at their stall. Several of them were Xie Lang’s regular customers. They really came there with the intention of picking out good leathers, but inevitably, most of their attention was taken away by Gu Mingyue.

After Xie Lang sent away the old customer with his expressionless and serious face, he felt mixed emotions in his heart and stared at Gu Mingyue for a cup of tea with inexplicable eyes, which made Gu Mingyue’s hair stand on end.

Being stared at by the expressionless man with complicated and subtle gazes was a strange and refreshing feeling.

At this time, in Xie Lang’s mind, probably all he was thinking was: when I wasn’t paying attention, my little daughter had grown so beautiful and started to attract men’s attention… As a father, I should feel happy, but I really can’t be happy… If only she could always belong to me… If only… she could be my woman…?

It is not easy to make a living in the deep mountains. It requires not only a strong body, but also knowledge of wild survival and hunting skills. Therefore, there are not many capable hunters.As one of the few good hunters, Xie Lang’s leather materials were all sold out in less than an hour.

The man put the money he had earned on his chest, stood up, patted his clothes, pulled Gu Mingyue up and said, “Let’s go, daddy will take you to a place.”

Gu Mingyue didn’t know why, and thought Xie Lang was taking her to buy some household items, so she followed him obediently until the two stopped in front of the door of a house.

Xie Lang walked up the stone steps, pulled the knocker on the door, and clicked it lightly.After a while, someone opened the door from inside. It was a middle-aged woman with clean and cheerful appearance. She squinted her crescent-like smiling eyes and opened her mouth to greet: “Xie Dalang, you are finally here.”

Xie Lang nodded noncommittally, pointed at the confused Gu Mingyue behind him, and introduced: “This is my little girl Xie Yi.”

The middle-aged woman opened her eyes wide and looked at Gu Mingyue from the top of her head to her heels. She smacked her tongue and said, “You are such a sign of a little lady. I don’t know how many men are crying and wanting to marry her home. Don’t worry, keep it with me. Don’t worry, I will definitely find a good husband for her.”

When Gu Mingyue heard this, she realized that this middle-aged woman was actually a private matchmaker.

Unexpectedly, Xie Lang brought her here with the intention of marrying her off. It was really ridiculous. The two of them slept together every night and saw each other naked. Their relationship had reached this point. How could she be innocent in this era… But this man actually wanted to deceive himself into getting her engaged. Gu Mingyue was at a loss for words, thinking that Xie Lang was selfish, heShe doesn’t want to break the moral bottom line, so even if she has done almost everything she can, she still doesn’t want to pierce that layer of membrane. She can’t let him get his wish. Where in the world can there be such a cheap thing.

Xie Lang thought for a while, and after some inner struggle, he nodded in agreement. He reached out to take out some matchmaking gift money from his chest and handed it to the matchmaker. However, before his hand could reach into his collar, he was held down by a pair of small hands.

“Dad, I don’t want to get married.” Gu Mingyue’s clear black pupils reflected the figure of the man, she lightly opened her red lips and said in a firm tone.

“Hey, Miss Xie, there is no age-old woman in the world who refuses to marry. Even if you don’t want to marry, how can the government allow you to be willful when you reach your age? How can you live without hurting Xie Dalang?”

Gu Mingyue turned a deaf ear and only stared at the man’s face with stubborn eyes.

Of course, she knew that it was illegal for a woman of this era not to marry at the right age, and her family would be imprisoned, but she was not afraid of this. These days were in chaos, and the household registration was a mess. Her body was abandoned, and it was still open to discuss whether she was a gangster. What’s more, she lived in a deep valley. As long as she didn’t leave the mountain, no one would know that she would be an old girl for the rest of her life.

Xie Lang was seen hesitating, and the determination he had finally made up was so easily broken up by Gu Mingyue’s few words.He didn’t even insist on his opinion. He silently put down his hand and shook his head at the middle-aged woman. Under her surprised eyes, he led Gu Mingyue back the way he came.

Xie Lang has been here as a matchmaker countless times, and every time the middle-aged woman brings him the information about the man, he picks and chooses it. He rejects it indifferently, feeling that none of them are worthy of the youngest daughter of his family.

I brought Gu Mingyue here this time because I wanted the matchmaker to have a good look at her and find her a husband who is more wealthy and honest.Xie Lang was particularly confident about his youngest daughter’s appearance.

But just now at the market, when Gu Mingyue was peered at with adoring eyes by young men, Xie Lang suddenly realized that he couldn’t bear to touch her at all, and the man who spent the rest of his life with her every night was not him.

So when Gu Mingyue reached out to stop him, the already shaken man found a way down the stairs for himself, and naturally followed his selfish desire to keep her by his side.

Such possessiveness can no longer be regarded as a father’s inability to let go of his daughter… His feelings had completely deteriorated as early as that bright morning.

“Dad, will Yi’er marry you?” Gu Mingyue walked behind the man, her voice filled with innocence and longing.

Xie Lang paused for a moment and then stopped. He turned around and stared at the smiling little girl quietly, like a restrained volcano suddenly erupting. He quickly took the girl’s arm and dragged her to a dark alley. He put one forearm on the wall and put the little girl’s petite and soft body between him and the cold wall. He leaned over and held the mutton-fat jade-like cheek with his other hand, looking at she who was still panting., his eyes were so dark that they glowed with blue light, bright and deep, like a soft and quiet lake.

He’s eyes were filled with sadness and joy, mixed with relief, and he murmured in a low voice: “Repeat what you just said.”

“Yier wants to marry daddy.” Gu Mingyue said firmly, “Yier wants to be with daddy for the rest of her life.”

“Silly boy, you still don’t understand the meaning of marriage.” Xie Lang’s hot breath blew on her face, the tip of his nose rubbed the smooth facial skin, and he murmured lightly.

“Yi’er just wants to be with daddy. Yi’er doesn’t want to get married. The thought of leaving daddy makes Yi’er’s heart so painful…” Gu Mingyue frowned and said with a sad look, “But I don’t know why, when Yi’er is so close to daddy, her heart feels so fast and her body feels so hot. The same goes for ‘treatment’. Yi’er seems to have a weirder disease…”

“How pitiful.” Xie Lang’s lips were frivolous, and his forehead was like a little girl’s, admiring her expression intently.

“Yier’s illness is all because of her father. Daddy wants to help Yi’er cure her illness.” The little girl’s voice was anxious.

“Well, daddy will heal you.” Xie Lang slowly kissed the sweet-as-honey mouth, pecked it gently, and said softly, “But the treatment… does not prevent you from getting married… daddy will treat Yi’er regularly…”

“If you marry someone else, you won’t be able to be with your father all the time. Yi’er is willing not to marry for the rest of her life!” The little girl suddenly hugged the man’s neck with excitement and buried her face in the familiar smell of his chest. “If you must marry, just marry your father.”

“Okay.”

“Huh?”

“I said yes, marry me.” The man with the light behind his back couldn’t see his watch clearly, but his eyes were bright and shining, like a fire burning among thorns.Thousands of thoughts in he’s mind were clenched into a rope after Gu Mingyue said that she wanted to marry him, confusing all thinking and reason.

“Even if you regret it later, I will never let you go.”
