LGHTNOVELBOOK 11: Does He Want to Have Children with Her?
“Why aren’t you sleeping? We still have things to do this afternoon.”
Seeing Gu Mengyao looking like a wife waiting for her husband’s return, Gu Yu sighed helplessly and took the initiative to ask.
Gu Yu could finally see it now… his predecessor must have been extremely nasty, causing the young girl to have absolutely no sense of security.
However, fortunately, Gu Mengyao wasn’t the weak-willed type. Just from what she had said before, it was clear she had her own opinions.
But because Gu Yu was the “head of the household,” she deferred to him in everything, even when it came to giving handouts to the old Yang family…
“I… was worried about you. Next time you go out, let me accompany you! In case wild beasts appear in the mountains.”
“Mm.”
After hearing Gu Mengyao’s words, although Gu Yu acknowledged with a sound, he had no intention of going to the mountains with her.
Gu Yu didn’t plan to tell anyone about the space.
Although he gained the space because of Gu Mengyao, Gu Yu understood the principle that “the innocent may be guilty by possessing a precious jade.”
Money tempts people’s hearts, let alone a cheat ability like the space. Although Gu Yu wasn’t afraid of it being stolen, if powerful people found out, he would likely be imprisoned.
Just thinking about such a tragic outcome made Gu Yu feel uncomfortable.
So he would deflect when necessary. Currently, the most important thing was to make money.
“I’m going hunting in the mountains this afternoon. Do you want to come along?”
“I’ll pass. With my frail body, I’d just be a nuisance.”
Perhaps because of Gu Yu’s changed attitude, Gu Mengyao began talking more. She secretly glanced at Gu Yu several times, and seeing that his expression hadn’t changed, she even invited him to go to the mountains together.
Being just a thirteen-year-old girl with a lively personality, it must have been difficult for her to maintain a serious demeanor all the time.
But Gu Yu shook his head at Gu Mengyao, indicating he wouldn’t go.
In fact, Gu Mengyao didn’t really want to invite him. With his body that became breathless after just a few steps, he would only be a hindrance, and might even distract Gu Mengyao.
So it was better not to go.
In reality, Gu Yu was eager to go to town to sell the prey he had collected in his space and exchange it for money.
But he needed to wait until Gu Mengyao left in the afternoon to have an opportunity to go out.
Without silver in hand, he felt extremely anxious.
“It’s still early now. Let’s go in and sleep for a while!”
As Gu Yu spoke, he very naturally reached out to hold Gu Mengyao’s small hand, without any improper intentions.
Due to his body that became breathless after just a few steps, after wandering around the mountain, Gu Yu was already somewhat exhausted. So now, holding the little loli’s hand, he truly had no other thoughts except wanting to quickly lie down on the bed to rest.
He had things to do in the afternoon; he couldn’t just lie in bed all day.
If he let Gu Mengyao continue talking, Gu Yu would have no time to rest. That’s why he directly took Gu Mengyao’s hand and walked toward the house, striding as if eager to enter the bridal chamber.
Modern times differed from ancient times, especially regarding interactions between men and women. Just touching hands made one a shameless lecher… It was only because Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao were already husband and wife, with their marriage certificate registered at the government office, that they wouldn’t be gossiped about by others.
Of course, there were exceptions everywhere.
Some young widows and old bachelors had already lost all shame. As long as they weren’t caught in bed, forget about holding hands—even having a wild tryst in the mountains wasn’t an issue.
The prerequisite was not to be discovered; otherwise, they would be drowned in the pond as adulterers.
But Gu Yu’s hand-holding behavior was misunderstood by Gu Mengyao.
Her face immediately turned completely red, with even her neck flushing. Her eyes darted around nervously, and her heart raced uncontrollably.
At thirteen, Gu Mengyao was no longer a child. Some girls her age in the village were already married.
Even though she didn’t interact much with the villagers, she had overheard some young wives discussing bedroom topics without restraint. So even though Gu Mengyao’s parents had died early, she understood some things.
Could it be that Gu Yu now wanted to have children with her?
