Chapter 54.2: Raising a Bride (15)

The two discussed their current situations and it was finally decided that the strong and handsome Xie MingLang would try to land a job at the city lord's mansion, while Gu MingYue, who possessed a mean hand for delicious food, would open a snack shop in town.

With his skill set, Xie MingLang managed to become an honorary guest of the city lord. And usually, besides emergencies, honorary guests usually were not expected to do anything, so whenever he had time, Xie MingLang would go to Gu MingYue's shop to act as a free waiter.

As for Gu MingYue who had experienced the modern world in one of her previous mission worlds, she possessed a wide range of recipes for food that had never been seen in this era, and so, her business had been booming ever since her shop opened, and she had been extremely short staffed for days!

She eventually purchased a mixed-race teenager from the human trafficker and taught him how to take care of the shop. And to her delight, the teenager was quite intelligent and was already able to share half of her workload in less than a week!

The teenager looked not more than fourteen years old. He had a high nose and light brown eyes, with a lean and stylish physique. In fact, his face alone had attracted countless female customers!

Every time Xie MingLang and the young man appeared in the small restaurant at the same time, business would be unprecedentedly hot. One of them was a hot middle-aged uncle, while the other was a handsome fresh teenager, and the two of them easily fascinated and accumulated a large group of female diner fans.

If one would use modern words to describe them, it could be said that they have permanent background music with their very own bling-bling shiny background effects floating around them.

As for Gu MingYue herself, whenever she appeared in front of people, there was always a pink grotesque scar spanning across the bridge of her nose, which had destroyed her overall beauty. Many who had seen her unsightly scar had sighed secretly in regret, because her beauty would've been unparalleled otherwise.

But in truth, the scar on her face was actually painted with juice made from a special herb they discovered on the way to Ji Yuan City. It had no medicinal value at all and was usually used for dyeing. However, they found out that upon having the dye touch the skin, it'll cause a swollen and red bulge that'll last for a few months. It was extremely convenient to make too!

In the absence of sufficient power to protect themselves, these were the only measures Gu MingYue could take to cover up her natural beauty in order to avoid unnecessary trouble. Xie MingLang, too, approved and supported this idea of hers full-heartedly.

His little daughter was his precious and treasured gem, and it was sufficient for him alone to know and appreciate her true beauty. It did not matter if outsiders knew or not.

Except for Xie MingLang and Gu MingYue, the only other person who knew about her actual appearance was the mixed-race teenager. However, he had no never been fascinated by beauty since childhood, or in other words, he was not interested in beautiful older women. Instead, he was very much captivated by the young and tender girl next door who had porcelain smooth skin and a cute round face shaped like a bun.

In fact, one day he happened to hear about Xie MingLang and Gu MingYue's past and had since been inspired to develop and raise the mellow little girl with twin braids.

... As the saying goes, lolicons should be nurtured and developed from an early age...?

Uh, what kind of common saying was this? Gu MingYue was confused by her thoughts, but at the same time, acquiesced to the behavior of the young teenager when he secretly took leftover food from the shop as gifts for the little girl.

In such a turbulent era, it was a precious luxury to be able to enjoy life in such a place and spend a lifetime with a person she liked, and Gu MingYue wished to bring such happiness to the people around her as much as possible.

Just consider this as compensation for her unfulfilled obsession with that certain world......

Gu MingYue, who had long since lost her youthful air, became more and more attractive at night, and Xie MingLang fell in love with her all over again every time he landed his eyes on her.

They spend their nights together like bunnies in heat, as if missing a day would cause him great pain and discomfort...

However, even with such frequent sexual activities, there were still no signs of pregnancy from Gu MingYue, and though Xie MingLang felt a little regretful about the situation, he knew clearly that when it come to matters of children, it cannot be forced, so he had chosen to follow what fate had decided.

Furthermore, the mixed-race teenager was still by their side. If they never had any children of their own, they could always consider adopting the teenager as an adopted son, even though he was merely a few years younger than Gu MingYue.

"Hey, daddy, what'll happen if I never manage to conceive a child after all this time?" Gu MingYue laid comfortably within Xie MingLang's arms, which were dripping with sweat, while their genitals were still tightly connected together, "Without a child, would daddy ever search for someone else? Like other women, such as Hui Niang..."

There was unease in the woman's voice, filled with both fear and anticipation, as if she wanted to hear the man's honest answer, but at the same time, she was afraid that his answer would not be as she wished.

"Silly girl, there'll only be one woman in the second half of daddy's life and it'll only ever be you. Plus, you're already making daddy's legs go soft every night, how is it possible for daddy to still have the energy to find other women?" Xie MingLang smirked teasingly while ramming himself within the walls of his little daughter.

"Tsk, the older you get, the more indecent you become~," Gu MingYue said in a playfully sullen voice as she spun her hips to the man's tempo, stopping only after hearing the man's hoarse groan.

"Daddy, will you ever love Yi Er, and Yi Er only?" The woman trailed her finger across the man's chest in a circular motion before pouting her lips sensually.

"Of course, I will only love my little sweetheart, and you're the only woman I want. Have I ever looked at another woman ever since we got together? Such a dissatisfied little vinegar jar~" Xie MingLang squeezed her little nose gently before cooing softly, "Don't worry, even if we never have a child, Yi Er is still the only woman daddy wants to spend a lifetime with."

Gu MingYue felt her soul slowly detach from this body, but before leaving this world once and for all, she raised her hand and traced Xie MingLang's facial features carefully.

"Daddy."

"Yes?"

"Thank you."

At the moment when her soft lips touched the man's, Gu MingYue's soul officially left this world.
