It’s not easy making a living in the mountains, as it not only required a strong physique, but also knowledge of surviving in the wild and adept hunting skills. This resulted in the lack of capable hunters in the area, hence Xie MingLang was able to sell all of the pelts he prepared within an hour.
The man kept the money in the chest pocket within his shirt and stood up, before pulling up Gu MingYue and said, “Let’s go, daddy will bring you to a place.”
Gu MingYue did not know where the man wanted to bring her, and assumed that they were going to purchase some household items, hence, she followed behind him obediently, and without long, the two stopped in front of the main entrance of a family.
Xie MingLang walked up the stone steps and pulled onto the door knocker, knocking on the door gently. After a short while, someone opened the door from the inside and Gu MingYue realized that it was a clean and cheerful middle-aged woman.
As soon as the woman saw Gu MingYue, her face lit up instantly and her two smiling eyes curved into a crescent-like shape as she greeted them cheerfully, “Brother Xie, you’re finally here.”
Xie MingLang nodded slightly in response, before pointing towards the confused-looking Gu MingYue, “This is my daughter, Xie Yi.” He introduced.
The middle-aged woman glanced at Gu MingYue from head to toe with widened eyes, before smacking her lips and said, “Such a charming young lady, you have no idea how many young men would cry and beg just to take her as their wife~ Don’t worry, you can count on me, I will definitely find her a wonderful husband.”
Gu MingYue finally realized that this middle-aged woman was actually a matchmaker.
In fact, she had not expected Xie MingLang to bring her here with the plan to marry her off. To be honest, it was a ridiculous idea, because the two of them had seen each other naked and slept together every night…
Their relationship had already reached the point of no return, and she was no longer a pure and innocent young lady, but this man was still in denial and was trying to deceive himself to find her an actual young man to spend her life with…
Gu MingYue was at a total loss for words.
At this point, Xie MingLang’s current action was just a selfish wish to stop himself from breaking the bottom line of human morality. He must’ve somehow convinced himself that as long as they don’t take the final step, even if they’ve possibly done everything else, it would still not be counted as taboo.
But, there was no way Gu MingYue would allow the man to make such a move.
Meanwhile, after considering the middle-aged woman’s words for a few minutes and struggling internally, Xie MingLang finally nodded his head in agreement and reached into his pocket for some downpayment for the matchmaking services.
However, before he could do so, he was held down by a pair of smaller hands.
“Daddy, I don’t want to marry anyone else.” Gu MingYue glanced at him with clear black pupils that reflected the man’s figure and said in a firm tone.
“Ah, Miss Xie, every lady’s wish is to get married, and you’re already of age! Furthermore, even if your father allowed you to do so, the government would not allow it… Do you wish to get your father in trouble?”
