Chapter 105: Luring Him Out
When two women fight, one must win.
However, Gu Yu was already a married man and naturally ignored Bai Linyue’s tearful appearance.
No matter how excellent or outstanding others were, Gu Yu felt that his wife was the best!
Therefore, this was a war that had been unilaterally won from the start.
However, Gu Yu found it quite amusing to see his wife’s jealous little look.
As long as he stated his position in time, he believed that Gu Mengyao’s anger wouldn’t increase.
“Miss Bai, I know Gu Yu deceived you, but it’s okay, I’m here! I will never let you be sad and hurt in the future, I will only make you happy every day.”
Just as Bai Linyue was about to cry from Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao’s display of affection, Yang Shun, who had been acting affectionate beside her, quickly spoke to comfort her.
Since Gu Mengyao was already married, Bai Linyue could be the best candidate for his future wife.
After thinking carefully, Gu Mengyao had no other merits besides being good-looking and skilled at hunting. A daughter from a wealthy and powerful family like Bai Linyue was a better match for him!
After all, Yang Shun was going to be a high-ranking official in the future, so how could someone like Gu Mengyao, a village girl, be worthy of him!
Yang Shun was calculating in his heart, but he forgot that when Gu Mengyao walked out of the room just now, he had been staring at her, and only managed to recover now.
“Who are you! Do I know you?”
“…”
Yang Shun’s plan was well thought out, but he forgot that Bai Linyue was not a clay figurine that he could mold however he pleased.
Bai Linyue, who already had a bad temper, gave Yang Shun a cold stare after his inexplicable words, shattering his fragile glass heart and leaving him speechless.
How could Bai Linyue forget him!
He had clearly welcomed Bai Linyue into the house himself when she came to the Yang family a few days ago. Did this woman forget all about it!
Gu Yu, who had been watching the show from the side, almost couldn’t help but laugh when he heard Bai Linyue’s words.
These two were actually quite interesting.
However, his little place couldn’t accommodate these two “great buddhas”; they should stay as far away as possible!
“I said, you two came to my house without distinguishing right from wrong, and now you’re still babbling nonsense in front of me. Do you want me to drive you out with a broom? Take advantage of my good mood and leave my house quickly, otherwise don’t blame me for taking action.”
“Brother-in-law, the broom is here.”
Gu Yu saw that the time was almost right, and since he didn’t want these two to cause any more trouble, he said that he was going to drive them away. Gu Qingheng, the clever little one, handed him the broom. Seeing this, Yang Shun and Bai Linyue’s faces immediately darkened.
Then, as if they didn’t believe Gu Yu would actually act, they stubbornly stood their ground.
And then…
Gu Yu directly and crudely lifted the broom and swung it at them, deliberately putting more force on Yang Shun, hitting them until they screamed non-stop, and finally fled the Gu family in a panic.
Although Gu Yu’s actions were not elegant and could even be considered very rough, Gu Mengyao found him very handsome!
If it weren’t for her shyness, Gu Mengyao would have rushed into Gu Yu’s arms and said, “This is my good husband!”
“Brother-in-law, you were so handsome today!”
“When was I not handsome?”
“Yes, yes, yes, my brother-in-law is handsome every day, I don’t even dare to look directly at him, for fear of blinding myself.”
“…”
After driving Yang Shun and Bai Linyue away, the tense atmosphere immediately eased. While bickering with his brother-in-law, Gu Yu’s gaze was always on Gu Mengyao, and he felt his wife was more and more beautiful.
When Gu Mengyao迟钝ly noticed Gu Yu’s gaze, her cheeks instantly turned red like a fiery sunset.
She had only impulsively reacted out of anger because another woman shamelessly came to their door. Now, seeing Gu Yu’s face, her shyness immediately surged.
[Gu Mengyao’s favorability +50, space is upgrading…]
Upon hearing the notification that the space was upgrading, Gu Yu finally shifted his gaze aside. If he continued to look, Gu Mengyao would probably be shy to the point of exploding.
Just as Gu Yu moved his gaze aside, the man in black appeared in his sight again, making eye contact with Gu Yu once more.
The next second, he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
This man in black… Gu Yu didn’t know if he was dedicated or not.
He could investigate the situation, but why was it that every time Gu Yu discovered him, he would then flee in panic???
A truly dedicated man in black would hide in the shadows and not give others a chance to discover him!
Annoyed, Gu Yu rolled his eyes. After discovering the man in black for the second time, Gu Yu decided he wouldn’t let him get away with it anymore.
Having a ticking time bomb around him made him feel uneasy!
He needed to find a way to lure the man in black out.
Pondering a solution in his heart, Gu Yu stayed honestly in the room for several days, which made Gu Mengyao worry if her husband was sick. He used to like going out, so why did he now prefer to stay cooped up indoors?
“Yu, have you been in a bad mood lately?”
“No, I just feel a bit stifled.”
“If that’s the case, the more you stay cooped up in the room, the more uncomfortable you’ll feel. I’ll accompany you for a walk!”
“…Yes, that’s fine too. Don’t call Qingheng. If he comes, we won’t have a quiet stroll.”
Gu Yu had waited for several days and finally heard Gu Mengyao say this.
Thus, with a ‘tired’ look on his face, Gu Yu, led by Gu Mengyao, finally walked out of the house. After wandering around the foot of the mountain for a few laps, his face finally showed some smiles, and his spirits clearly improved.
It was already winter, and the grass leaves were somewhat yellow, but many flowers were still in bloom. Swaying gently in the breeze, just a glance at them made one feel much more relaxed.
Afterward, when Gu Yu acted a little childish and wanted some flowers to make a flower crown, he tricked Gu Mengyao to the side to pick wildflowers, while he alertly observed his surroundings, preparing to take out the black bear from his space and let it show off its might again.
However, there was no sign of the man in black this time.
Did he learn his lesson, or did he go back?
Thinking this, Gu Yu found a shady spot and sat down. He placed the wildflowers and soft branches that Gu Mengyao had brought in front of him, preparing to make a flower crown for fun.
Gu Yu could make a rough flower crown, as long as it didn’t fall apart in the end.
After Gu Mengyao went to the nearby woods to pick a yellow wildflower and her figure was hidden by the trees, Gu Yu took this opportunity to directly take her into his space.
Afterward, Gu Yu got up and walked to where Gu Mengyao had disappeared. Then, leaning against a large tree, he waited for his prey.
While waiting, Gu Yu quickly went to his space. Seeing that Gu Mengyao was still in the same posture as when she entered the space, he breathed a sigh of relief and came out of the space.
Gu Yu had originally been worried… that the space, created because of Gu Mengyao, might treat her differently from others.
But the result confirmed that after the space treated Gu Mengyao the same as others, Gu Yu was finally relieved.
Gu Yu did not want to reveal the secret of the space for the time being.
It wasn’t that Gu Yu didn’t trust Gu Mengyao and her brother. Through so much time spent together, Gu Yu believed that they had no ill intentions towards him, but rather it was the difference between them being ancient people and a modern person.
Gu Yu couldn’t just casually say, “I transmigrated from the future, and because of Gu Mengyao, I gained a space, which is why this and that happened,” could he!
Revealing something as mystical as a space would inevitably involve the fact of transmigration, and Gu Yu didn’t want to scare them yet.
Although he was not some evil spirit or vengeful ghost, this matter was not easy to explain.
Gu Yu’s only hope was that after a longer period of contact, he would first instill in his brother-in-law some ideas to break through feudalistic thinking, and then have him persuade Gu Mengyao.
As long as they didn’t think he was some kind of monster or ghost, then it would be fine…
“Miss!!!”
“Stop howling, she’s fine.”
“…”
After a while, when the man in black was lured into the trap, Gu Yu calmly leaned against the tree trunk and spoke as he looked at the man in black who appeared before him.
Upon hearing this, the man in black, who was panicked about losing his target, froze as if his words were stuck in his throat, unable to utter another word.
However, Gu Yu did not intend to let him go just like that.
Gu Yu had considered many possibilities before, but he never expected it to turn out like this… Weren’t Gu Mengyao and her brother orphans? Why did a man in black suddenly appear, calling Gu Mengyao “Miss”?
Could it be like those cliché novels where Gu Mengyao had a mysterious background, was originally from a noble family, but due to various reasons, ended up in the Gu family in Yang Family Village…
“You call Gu Mengyao ‘Miss’? And who is your master? I remember my father-in-law was eaten by wild beasts in the mountains.”
“You’re the one who was eaten! My master is the famous General Gu, Deputy General Gu! How could wild beasts in the mountains harm him!”
“Oh~ Deputy General Gu, you say…”
Gu Yu elongated the “Oh” sound, and his mind was constantly working.
This dim-witted man in black was easily tricked. At least, Gu Yu had extracted useful information from him.
It turned out that Gu Mengyao’s unlucky father was not eaten by wild beasts in the mountains that year, but was incredibly fortunate… As for the specifics, Gu Yu believed it was just a stroke of luck, and he didn’t want to know too much detail.
The most important thing now was that Gu Qing had finally remembered his wife and children, and had sent someone to pick them up?
If that was the case, his status as a live-in son-in-law was truly awkward now!
After all, when he married into the family, Gu Qing had already disappeared somewhere… And when his children were brought back, to find that they came with a son-in-law, Gu Qing’s beard might just be so angry that it would curl up.
