Chapter 50.1: Raising a Bride 11

Having been pampered her whole life and after being put through such a meal that made her feel as if she was chewing on wax, Hui Niang could no longer ignore the strange feeling that was deepening in her heart by the second.

This father and daughter... It seemed as if they got along so well that anyone would feel at a loss, and whatnot, Hui Niang felt as if she was a third-wheel witnessing a pair of lovers' interaction... It was also as if she was an invisible object to their eyes, as they were so indulged with each other that they had ignored her completely...

Meanwhile, Gu MingYue fed the man happily, and Xie MingLang ate the food gleefully. No one had the time or effort to comfort an angry and upset woman who was nothing but a stranger.

Xie MingLang knew that his little daughter was jealous and was deliberately behaving intimately in front of an outsider, and though he might seem wooden and dense, he was not so incapable that he would miss this! In fact, he had gratefully enjoyed the rare possessiveness of his little baby.

After their meal, Gu MingYue took the initiative to clean up the table and went into the kitchen to do the dishes, leaving Xie MingLang and Hui Niang at the dining table sitting opposite each other.

The people who lived in the mountains were like ordinary farmers, who would usually prep for bed after the sun sets. Hence, Xie MingLang glanced at Hui Niang, who was maintaining an elegant posture on her seat, and said blandly, "Miss, you can spend the night in this poor house tonight, if you wish."

Gu MingYue had her ears peaked and listened to the conversation in the dining room, and quickly stuck her head out and smiled at Hui Niang, "Aunty, you can have my room all to yourself~ Don't worry, Daddy and I will spend the night cramped together so that you will have a comfortable rest."

The corners of Xie MingLang's lips twitch indistinctly at her cheeky words.

"How embarrassing would this be......" Hui Niang responded with elegance, pretending to shirk a little, but in her heart, she was more than willing to be 'cramped up' with Xie MingLang for one night.

"Nonsense, didn't Aunty hurt your foot? You can stay and rest at ease for the night in my room."

The girl in front of her had a heart-warming smile, and if one could ignore the irritating title of 'Aunty' and her strikingly beautiful face that would make any woman jealous, it would indeed be difficult for one to feel resentment and disgust towards her goodwill.

Gu MingYue returned to the kitchen after she finished speaking, before leaning diagonally against the side of the wall while hiding within a shaded area before raising her ears to listen to the movements outside, unknown to the two adults outside.

Hui Niang had been waiting for a chance to be alone with this gorgeous man, and so, after tidying up her stray hair, she flashed a somewhat mesmerizing gaze at the man as she placed her jaded fingers against his broad and strong shoulders, "In that case, would it be a bother for Brother Xie to help me to Miss Xie's bedroom?" She whispered softly, and as if her entire body had suddenly gone limp, she fell towards the man in a gentle gasp.

Xie MingLang grabbed ahold of the hand that was placed on his shoulders and quickly helped the woman steady herself, before quietly moving to a safe distance.

The temperature around his figure seemed to drop slightly as he stared at the shy woman with an emotionless expression while sighing with a sullen breath within his heart.

To think that she would so outrightly begin to seduce him without a moment's hesitation while his little daughter was still doing chores in the adjacent kitchen! What did this woman think him to be? Did she think that just because they were mountain people, she had assumed that he would be unable to hold back and would just lust over any female like a wild beast?

In fact, that was exactly what Hui Niang had assumed, because it wasn't common for beautiful ladies to live in the mountains, and the only other female he had contact with was his own daughter! Hence, she had assumed that a little provocation by a beautiful and available woman (like her) would definitely be the perfect cure for his cramped-up frustrations and that he would definitely not be able to hold himself back!

This was why she accentuated the word 'bedroom' when she spoke, but never would she have thought that such a man would avoid her like as if she was a plague, and whatnot, her wrist was still being painfully grasped by the man's iron grip.

It was true that Xie MingLang had been a pure vegetarian1 for many years, however, he had been very well-fed for the past two years by Gu MingYue's tender meat to the point that his taste in women had been raised to an impossible height!

A coquettish woman like Hui Niang could still be regarded as a one-night stand before, but after experiencing his little daughter's sweetness, no other woman would ever enter his eyes.

How could anyone ever compare to the dearest little daughter that he held close to his heart?!

"Brother Xie... It hurts......" Hui Niang said in a soft sob as she held her wrist in her other hand.

Her soft-to-the-bone voice did nothing to affect Xie MingLang's facial expressions, and with a stern look, he grabbed the woman by the wrist and forcefully led her into Gu MingYue's bedroom quickly, nodding at the thin mattress before bringing in a basin of water.

After that, he quickly left the room and closed the door behind him.

His cold actions left Hui Niang with an unprecedented sense of frustration! She had always been favorable among men, and she had always achieved whatever she wanted through her tricks and ambiguous seduction.

Xie MingLang had been the first man who had stayed honest and distant towards her ever since realizing that she wanted something more...

Hui Niang could not stand this at all, and instantly decided that no matter what, she wanted to watch him go crazy over herself!

She would definitely conquer this man, no matter the cost!

Sigh, what is it with heroines and the need to conquer all men in the world? It's like they just enjoy having men under their feet for the LOLs! smh aunty...
