Aromatic Flesh-Chapter 49.2: Raising a Bride 10

The girl, who was so strikingly beautiful to the point that Hui Niang felt like suffocating, voiced out her concerns once more, causing Hui Niang to almost lose her posture and spew profanities at the young lady!

She refused to acknowledge the term ‘Aunty’, also, as a woman interested in Gu MingYue’s father, there was no way she would allow Gu MingYue to call her ‘sister’…

However, she could not allow Gu MingYue to overstate her age, hence, she forced out the sweetest smile she could muster and said through gritted teeth, “This girl’s name is Hui Niang. Brother Xie saved my life, as his young daughter, please just call me Hui Niang too.”

Gu MingYue glanced at Xie MingLang, who nodded upon noticing her questioning eyes, “Hui Niang was strolling in the forest with her handmaiden, unfortunately, Hui Niang was bitten by a water snake so I brought her back to have a rest.”

To think that Xie MingLang had explained the entire situation in a single sentence!

The original story plot took an entire chapter to explain how Hui Niang’s handmaiden went missing and upon resting near the river, she was bitten by a poisonous water snake. And when she met Xie MingLang, who was returning home in the evening from a hunt, she sought help from him, and being a gentleman, Xie MingLang brought her home for a rest as it was almost nighttime…

Of course, Gu MingYue knew all of these from being a mission host. But upon being with this man for years, she realized that she could, in fact, understand everything from such a summarized explanation!

“I see, so that’s what happened! It’s fortunate that daddy found her quickly, otherwise, a bite from a water snake would still cause a high fever even though it is low in toxicity~” Gu MingYue’s lips curved up into a slight smile that did not reach her eyes, before continuing softly in distress, “Ah but what should I do? Daddy had raised me into a polite child, so how can I possibly call an older person by their first name? I should just stick with ‘Aunty’ as it is much more respectful.”

Gu MingYue said with such sincerity that Hui Niang herself could not tell whether the girl in front of her was doing this intentionally or not.

But it did not stop the fact that Hui Niang felt like vomiting blood every time this little girl run her mouth, and the worst part was that it was as if she was unaware of herself! Her words and actions conveyed only goodwill, and there was no way Hui Niang would cause a scene as she still wanted to leave a good impression on this family…

Hence, she could do nothing but keep quiet and continue smiling.

It was her own fault for coveting the man’s strong and broad chest, so what else could she have done but accept his hateful daughter?

Meanwhile, Gu MingYue quickly realized that the thickness of Hui Niang’s face was unparalleled by any other person in the world. Because, an ordinary person would’ve tried to leave her savior’s arms by now, but Hui Niang was still laying against Xie MingLang’s chest as she flashed Gu MingYue an apologetic smile.

And so, being the helpful daughter in the house, she decided to ‘help’ Hui Niang down from Xie MingLang’s arms with a caring face and led her by the arms to the dining table carefully.

Hui Niang thought Xie MingLang would speak up to stop Gu MingYue’s actions just so he could have her seductive body within his arms in an embrace for a few more moments, unfortunately, the man quickly let go of her easily as he watched his little daughter’s abnormal behavior with a smile within his eyes.

Hui Niang understood perfectly that a woman needs to be poised and proper if she wished to court a man, and for someone who was so experienced with men, there was no way she would allow herself to be foolishly stunned by the little girl’s trivial words and disgusting behavior to the point of making some low-level mistakes, that would ultimately hinder the development of a proper relationship with Xie MingLang.

In fact, when Xie MingLang was carrying her back home, he had been silent the entire way even when she tried to create a conversation with him, wishing to find out more about the man’s family background… But all was for naught without the cooperation of the man.

This was why Hui Niang had assumed him to be a man with few words, but for him to spat out so many words in such a short period of time since they came back, it was obvious that he was very fond of his daughter and pampered her well. Therefore, though Hui Niang had scolded this uncultured wild forest girl within her heart for her lack of education and etiquette, she still carried a warm smile as she was dragged to the dining table.

There was only one plate of fried wild vegetables, one bowl of stewed bacon, two bowls of soup, and two bowls of rice. In fact, compared to the average commoners, who could only have a meal with actual meat once a year, their food was already infinitely better.

However, to Hui Niang, who had been indulging in extravagance for many years, the food on the table only seemed unappetizing to her.

“What should I do? I didn’t know Aunty would be here today so there isn’t enough food on the table… Hmm, why don’t you eat my portion? I’m still young and healthy so missing one meal would not be a big deal for me, however, Aunty was injured in the morning, so eating would make you recover faster.”

As for preparing more food in the kitchen? This was absolutely a capital letter NO NO, as Gu MingYue was too lazy to serve such a shameless woman, who was also the heroine of this world.

However, as soon as Xie MingLang heard her words, he instantly regretted bringing Hui Niang home…

Why did he have to be so nosy and bring this woman home, and unintentionally make his daughter starve for the night…

There was no way he could bear Gu MingYue going hungry!

“Eat my portion.” The man said in a firm voice and stood up to leave the dining table. At this moment, Hui Niang felt like it was her cue to start her performance of being a considerate woman, however, before she could react, Gu MingYue had already rushed toward the man and dragged him back to the table in a hugging manner.

“Let’s eat it together! Daddy can have a share of Xiao Yue’s portion~”

She pressed Xie MingLang down onto a chair before sitting comfortably next to him, and as if they no longer notice the outsider – Hui Niang, who was on the same dining table as they were, the two fed each other food and genuinely enjoyed their meal.

Hui Niang, who had always been picky with her food, had zero to no appetite for the simple meals on the table, but because Xie MingLang was still there, she forced the disgusting food into her mouth reluctantly and swallowed the food fully without chewing in hopes of not tasting them at all.

She glanced at the interaction between Gu MingYue and Xie MingLang with disgust, although the two were father and daughter, they were too close to each other.

Could it be, that she was thinking too much due to jealousy…?

Meanwhile, Xie MingLang had been observing Hui Niang’s facial expressions from the corner of his eyes, hence, he did not miss her suspicious stares. However, he hid it well as he continued to enjoy the pleasure of being fed by the woman he loved. In fact, he was absolutely intoxicated by Gu MingYue’s intimate behavior because he could feel that she was extremely jealous, but at the same time, she was also unaware of her abnormal behavior.

This was why it had made him so happy!

To think that she felt the same way toward him!

At this moment, Xie MingLang did not care what Hui Niang would conclude from their interactions as he was fully immersed in the moment of love.
