MY BEAUTIFUL BRIDE, VOLUME 8 - Season 12 Episode 78

“Don’t spout nonsense. How could it affect me? I like to be relied on like this. I like being affected like this.” He frowned and said, “If you don’t allow her to look for me, I’ll feel anxious.”

Mu Feiran let out a sputtering laugh. “You… seriously.”

He mumbled in frustration, “You have no idea how much I wish I had a daughter like her. She’s obedient and sensible. If she clings to me all the time, I can spoil her rotten and stop anyone from hurting her…”

Mu Feiran was even more shocked. She raised her head and looked at him.

What did he mean by this?

Just then, Li Mingyu, who was still beside them, simply sneered. “Hey, if you want a daughter, there happens to be a cheap daughter here. You guys can just get together. You guys are so troublesome.”

“…” Mu Feiran looked at the man behind her.

Black Hawk’s expression was sour. He gave the meddlesome man behind him the side-eye.

Li Mingyu asked, “Why? Why? I just helped you guys address the elephant in the room? Quick, quick. Get together. Why must you beat about the bush like this? Can’t you just say that you want Yunyun to be your daughter?”

Mu Feiran immediately stood up in a panic.

However, in her moment of anxiety, she hit Black Hawk’s face directly.

Mu Feiran’s face hurt from colliding into him.

Black Hawk rubbed his face. Then, he turned around with his lips pursed and spat at Li Mingyu through clenched teeth. “Get lost!”

Li Mingyu mumbled, “I can’t be bothered to stay here. I genuinely feel so irritated since I’m an unwanted third party. I want to just quickly strip you guys naked and put you together.”

“…”

This Li Mingyu…

Why had Lin Che become friends with such a person?

Mu Feiran was shy and embarrassed. She did not dare to look at Black Hawk again.

However, Black Hawk knew that Li Mingyu’s personality was just that foul and ignored him.

Mu Feiran said, “Well, I…”

Black Hawk looked at her. “What Li Mingyu said…”

“Hn, hn. I know it’s just a joke. I understand.”

“You can give it some thought.”

“Uh…”

Mu Feiran immediately choked.

What?!

What did Black Hawk say?

Black Hawk said bluntly, “Yunyun needs a father and I want a daughter too. You can think about it. If I’m by Yunyun’s side, she will be much safer… of course, more importantly… you need a man too.”

“I…”

Before Mu Feiran could finish speaking, Black Hawk continued, “I’ll give you a day to consider it. If you meet me when I visit you tomorrow, I’ll take it that you’ve agreed. Alright. I’ll go out first and see what exactly Gu Jingze is doing. The most important thing first and foremost is to find the three children first.”

Black Hawk left once he was done speaking.

Hey, hey, hey. How could he be so unreasonable…

Mu Feiran had already been feeling anxious. Right now, she was even more at a loss. She began to feel more and more confused.

She hoped that Yunyun was fine, hoped that they would be able to find the three innocent children. She also hoped…

Oh no, but what was she going to do tomorrow?

—

Inside the cave.

Yunyun was feeding Li Mo water using a leaf, just like she had seen on television.

Beside them, Gu Shinian looked at Li Mo. He stared straight at him without speaking.

Yunyun asked, “Brother Niannian, he won’t die, right?”

Gu Shinian said, “I don’t know.”

Yunyun was frightened. “Then, what should we do?”

Gu Shinian said, “If we make it through tonight, there will probably be people coming here to save us.”

“Really? Why?”

“If my father, Uncle Black Hawk, and Li Mo’s father join hands, we’ll be fine.”

Yunyun asked, “Wil Uncle Mo lend a hand too?”

“Of course.”

“Then, is Uncle Mo very powerful?”

“Of course.”

Yunyun said, “Hey, I think Li Mo’s awake.”

After regaining consciousness, Li Mo looked at Gu Shinian. “You…”

Gu Shinian asked, “Why did you jump down?”

Li Mo was filthy all over. He crawled up and sat there. “I was kicked off the cliff. I didn’t want to fall off either. Really.”

Gu Shinian looked at his weak manner with disdain.

“Enough. I wasn’t criticizing you either. Why are you so anxious to explain yourself?”

Li Mo stopped talking again.

Gu Shinian said, “Get up and check for injuries.”

He moved his hand. “It doesn’t hurt.”

He said, “In that case, get up. Let’s go.”

Li Mo rushed to catch up. “I’m sorry.”

“I don’t think you’ve done anything to be sorry about,” Gu Shinian said.

Li Mo bit his lip and said to him, “They said that my mother did something bad to your mother before. She’s a lunatic now and I don’t know her at all. But I still feel apologetic towards you.”

Gu Shinian stopped in his tracks and looked at him.

He weakly lowered his head.

Although they were all young children, they were still very thoughtful. This was especially true for Li Mo, who had never received affection. He was exceptionally sensitive and was most astute in detecting hatred in other people too.

Gu Shinian sighed and continued walking straight ahead. “Forget it. It wasn’t your fault, either. Don’t be so silly in the future. You wanted to latch onto his leg to save us, but you’re so small. It was impossible for you to help us. To them, killing you would have been as easy as killing an ant.”

Li Mo looked down. “I just didn’t want to see them kill you guys.”

Gu Shinian turned back and took out a small pistol.

Lin Che definitely did not know that he had put a lot of equipment in his bag before going out.

She thought that it was filled with food, but he had replaced everything inside a long time ago.

It was fortunate that he had a habit of bringing these things with him. Otherwise, they would have been dead meat today.

He had been thinking that the shadow guards could not keep following him around while he was out. If there was any danger, he could save himself.

He even had a small pistol inside. He handed it to Li Mo and said, “This is a pistol.”

“Ah…” Li Mo had seen his father use it before, but there was no way he dared to touch it.

He had only seen on television that this could be used to kill people. How could he dare to use it?

Gu Shinian said, “If you had this in hand earlier, you wouldn’t have fallen off. You would have been able to escape on your own. Hold it, click the safety catch before pulling the trigger, and just shoot the person you want to shoot.”

“But…”

“You would’ve been shot first while you were hesitating. Understand?”

Li Mo looked at the pistol before looking at Gu Shinian.

He nodded silently.

Gu Shinian said, “Let’s go then.”

Behind him, Li Mo asked, “What about you? What will you do now that you’ve given it to me?”

Gu Shinian fiddled with the knife in his hands. “I still have this with me.”

Li Mo looked at the pistol. “Why don’t you use this then? Isn’t this safer?”

Gu Shinian said, “You blockhead. I gave it to you because it’s easier to use. If I gave you the knife, you probably wouldn’t even be able to find the enemy’s vein. Forget it.”

Li Mo looked down at the pistol. Warmth spread throughout his chest.

“Thank you, Gu Shinian.”

Yunyun said, “Call him Brother Niannian too like I do.”

“Nian…”

“Don’t. Just call me Gu Shinian. I’ll die from fear if I hear a man call me Brother Niannian.”

“Hn. Okay.” Li Mo was very happy. It seemed that he had finally made a friend.
