LGHTNOVELBOOK 22: Success
“K-kiss… you, I… can’t… it’s too fast…”
“It’s not fast. We’re already married, Mengyao. You don’t need to be so shy—sooner or later, this day would come anyway.”
Compared to Gu Mengyao’s now crimson face and stammering speech, Gu Yu appeared very calm.
In fact, he even felt a bit eager and impulsive.
Originally, Gu Yu had just considered this kiss as a method to subdue Gu Mengyao, so he didn’t have any romantic thoughts in mind.
However, seeing the previously stubborn young girl now transformed into such a shy state, Gu Yu felt quite accomplished.
He had feared that Gu Mengyao might kiss him without changing her expression, which would have made Gu Yu worry that perhaps she didn’t care about him, which explained her forwardness.
Needless to say, whether she kissed him or not, Gu Yu would still be conflicted for quite some time.
In the end, Gu Mengyao reluctantly gave Gu Yu a kiss on the cheek. The soft touch of her lips was very distinct, making Gu Yu feel that having a wife wasn’t so bad after all.
It’s just that she was still too young, flat as a washboard, and needed to work hard on growing up.
“I’ll let it go this time, but if it happens again next time, it’ll be a kiss here.”
Although Gu Yu was no longer angry, he didn’t dare show it, thinking that if Gu Mengyao didn’t feel a sense of crisis, she would become even more uncontrollable.
However, as Gu Yu spoke, he pointed to his lips with his fingertip, causing Gu Mengyao’s already red face to instantly flush completely.
Looking at Gu Mengyao, who resembled a boiled shrimp, Gu Yu was quite satisfied. His previously fatigued body also felt much better.
So, to prevent any unforeseen circumstances, he decided to take the wild boar to town and sell it right away.
That Hunter Wu, just by the sound of it, wasn’t a good person. If he came to bother their family because of this wild boar, it wouldn’t be good.
After all, Gu Yu wasn’t planning to let Gu Mengyao hunt in the mountains anymore, so it didn’t matter if he made an enemy of Hunter Wu.
In fact, Gu Yu secretly hoped to quickly get into a conflict with Hunter Wu, which would make it even better if it prevented Gu Mengyao from continuing to hunt.
“You rest first. I’ll go borrow an ox cart from the village. I’ll come back after selling the wild boar.”
“It’s so late. Why not go tomorrow?”
“It’s fine. There’s still time, and the town is lively at night—I can get a better price. You and Qingheng stay at home. Have some buns for dinner.”
As Gu Yu spoke, he put down the basket he had forgotten to remove from his back, pretending to take out meat buns wrapped in oiled paper from inside, placing them beside Gu Mengyao.
As soon as he took out the meat buns, their aroma immediately spread.
Seeing Gu Mengyao secretly swallowing her saliva like a little greedy cat, Gu Yu’s eyes were tinged with a smile. He then took out one bun and offered it to her.
Gu Mengyao looked up at Gu Yu, then without refusing, slowly opened her mouth and took a bite.
Perhaps due to having already kissed him, Gu Mengyao felt closer to Gu Yu.
So, despite her shyness, Gu Mengyao didn’t show any resistance, making Gu Yu feel extremely satisfied.
After feeding an entire bun into Gu Mengyao’s stomach, Gu Yu didn’t continue lingering in the room with his wife. Instead, he hurriedly went to a household in the village that owned an ox cart, directly giving twenty copper coins as a rental fee, bringing both the person and the cart back home.
Gu Yu didn’t know how to drive a cart. Even if he borrowed an ox cart, he couldn’t drive it to town. So it was better to spend a bit more money and have the cart owner accompany him to town, who could also look after things.
Gu Yu didn’t believe that a small kid like himself driving an ox cart with a wild boar on it wouldn’t attract the attention of ill-intentioned people.
Highway robbery wasn’t unheard of, and moreover, Gu Yu was just a child. If he really lost the wild boar, even reporting to the officials wouldn’t help.
Since he couldn’t put the wild boar into his space now, it was better to be cautious.
