Chapter Eleven: Do you want to have children with her?
“Why aren’t you sleeping? You still have things to do this afternoon.”
Seeing Mengyao’s appearance like a stone waiting for her husband, Gu Yu sighed helplessly, and then took the initiative to ask.
Gu Yu finally realized… that his predecessor must have been a scoundrel, which made the little girl feel very insecure.
However, fortunately, Mengyao was not a delicate person. Just by hearing what she said before, he knew that she had her own opinions.
But, because Gu Yu was the ‘head of the family’, she went along with everything, even marrying into the Old Yang family…
“I… I’m worried about you. I’ll accompany you next time you go out! In case wild beasts appear on the mountain.”
“Okay.”
After listening to Mengyao’s words, Gu Yu grunted, but he didn’t plan to go up the mountain with her.
Gu Yu didn’t plan to tell anyone about the space.
Although he only got the space because of Mengyao, Gu Yu understood the principle that an innocent person is guilty when possessing a treasure.
Wealth moves people’s hearts, let alone a space, which is a golden finger. Although Gu Yu was not afraid of it being robbed, if powerful guys knew about it, he would probably be imprisoned.
Thinking of such a tragic ending, Gu Yu felt a little unwell.
So, he would muddle through as much as possible, and the most important thing now was to make money.
“I’m going into the mountains to hunt this afternoon. Do you want to come with me?”
“No, with my sickly body, it would only be a hindrance if I went.”
Perhaps it was Gu Yu’s positive change in attitude that made Mengyao talk more at this time. She took a few more glances at Gu Yu, and after seeing that Gu Yu’s expression hadn’t changed, she even invited him to go up the mountain together.
She was just a thirteen-year-old girl, and she was quite lively. It was really difficult for her to always put on a serious face.
But Gu Yu shook his head at Mengyao and said he wouldn’t go.
Actually, Mengyao didn’t really want to invite him. With his body that gasped for breath after walking a few steps, going would only be a burden, and it might even distract Mengyao.
So it was better not to go.
In fact, Gu Yu was a little impatient to sell the wild game he harvested from the space in town for money.
However, he needed to wait. When Mengyao left in the afternoon, he would have a chance to go out.
It was really unsettling to have no silver in hand.
“It’s still early, go inside and get some sleep!”
As Gu Yu spoke, he naturally reached out and held Mengyao’s small hand, not having any intention of taking advantage of her.
Because of his body that gasped for breath after walking a few steps, Gu Yu was already exhausted after wandering around the mountain for a while. Therefore, holding the little girl’s hand now, he really had no other thoughts, just wanted to lie down on the bed and rest.
He had things to do in the afternoon, and he couldn’t just lie in bed.
If he let Mengyao continue talking, Gu Yu would have no time to rest, so he directly pulled Mengyao’s hand and walked towards the house, walking as fast as if he was rushing to the bridal chamber.
Modern times were different from ancient times, especially between men and women. Just touching small hands was considered shameless behavior. It was only because Gu Yu and Mengyao were already husband and wife, and their marriage certificate had been registered at the yamen, that they would not be gossiped about by others.
Of course, there were always exceptions everywhere.
Some widows and old bachelors were already shameless. As long as they were not caught in bed by others, let alone holding hands, they could even have sex in the mountains.
The premise was that no one found out, otherwise, they would be drowned in the river under the charge of adultery.
However, Gu Yu’s act of holding hands now made Mengyao misunderstand.
Her face turned completely red, and even her neck was flushed. She avoided looking around, feeling extremely flustered.
At thirteen years old, Mengyao was no longer a child. Some girls in the village her age were already married.
Even though she didn’t interact much with people in the village, she had heard some married women openly discussing topics about the bed. Therefore, even though Mengyao’s parents had passed away early, she still understood some things.
Could it be that Gu Yu wanted to have children with her now?
