For some reason, Gu Jinmi never saw Xia Ling again in the following years. Year after year, day after day. Gu Jinmi was so angry! She really couldn't stand it anymore.
"Dad, what did you say to A-Ling back then? Why is it that it's been three years and there's still no news about A-Ling? Dad, you must have bullied A-Ling back then, so A-Ling doesn't dare to show up now."
"Hey, what are you saying, you little brat? I'm doing this for your own good! Who knows if that guy will really never come to see you? I think that brat has definitely forgotten about you, or he has fallen in love with someone else. You know, no man is a good person."
"Dad, you and brother seem to be men too!"
"Your father and your brother are exceptions, okay? I'm telling you, if you want to find one, you need to find someone like me and your brother."
"Dad, you shouldn't be so arrogant, but I believe in A-Ling. Since A-Ling told me to wait for him, then A-Ling will definitely come."
"You are such a stubborn girl, even ten oxen can't pull you back. In the past few years, so many men have come to you to propose marriage, but you just insist on your own opinion. You are already eighteen years old. If you look at any other girl, she would have been the mother of several children."
"Dad. So what if she's eighteen? Besides, there are still twenty-year-olds who haven't married yet!"
"You little bitch, I'm trying to reason with you again! You really think that man is a good guy! I told him not to meet you until he gets rid of those martial artists. But what happened? That guy really didn't come to see you. I don't think that man is a good person to trust based on his character."
"Dad, I don't allow you to say that to him! And you are really going too far, Dad. How could you ask him to do those things? You clearly know that those people are so difficult to deal with. You actually asked him, a rookie, to solve the problem. You are pushing him into the fire pit! No, no, I have to go find him."
"What are you looking for? He's a man, not a powerless woman, okay? If he can't solve these problems, how can I trust you to him? Even if our Gu family raises you for the rest of your life, we can afford it. I will never marry you to that kind of man."
"Dad, what are you talking about? A Ling is not that kind of person."
"What do you mean he's not that kind of person? Just think about it, it's been a few years! He hasn't even solved the problem yet. I don't think you'll ever have the chance to meet him again in your life."
"Dad, you are wrong in the first place! You know, there were so many people attending the wedding, and they were all well-known figures in the martial arts world. How could it be so easy? Besides, even Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia would not agree to it!"
"Since you know everything in your heart, why do you still insist on doing it? When you marry into the Xia Mansion, nothing good will happen to you. You will be bullied by others. Is it worth it? I thought you would figure it out during this period of time, but I didn't expect your personality to be so..."
"Dad, I am your daughter, and I inherited your personality. I have heard mom tell the story between you two! Dad, you were just a ruffian in the past, but you tried every possible means to get me to marry you."
"Gu Jinmi, you are my daughter, okay? How can you destroy your father like this?"
"Humph! I'm telling the truth, okay? Besides, Dad, didn't you always teach me to be an honest and trustworthy person?"
"You, you, you rebellious girl, you have really grown up!"
"Of course your daughter is 18 now. Didn't you just say that 18-year-old women are mothers of several children?"
"You, you, okay, okay, okay, I won't say anything more about you, just think about it yourself! When that man comes back and abandons you, I want to see who you end up crying to."
"Dad, how dare you say that about your daughter? Am I really your biological daughter?"
"What else? Didn't you say that your personality is like mine?"
"Humph! I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going back first. By the way, Dad, can't you send someone to look for A Ling?"
"cannot."
"Humph! If you can't, I'll go find my mother and my brother."
"No, no, no, don't you think I'll do it?"
Gu Jinmi smiled smugly. You know, as a father, he was most afraid of his mother. As long as he could convince his mother, everything would be settled.
After three months, there was still no news from Ah Ling. If Gu Jinmi hadn't known through the system that Xia Ling was fine, she would have been really worried to death! But if she rashly went to find him now, something would definitely go wrong! After all, what Xia Ling hated most was not keeping his promise.
"Xia Ling! Xia Ling, you are such a big fool. You are so pedantic and dull. Although you promised my father that you would not see me, you don't have to be so perfect!" Gu Jinmi complained while pulling Ye Zi in dissatisfaction.
"Miss, Miss, what are you thinking about?"
"Hey! Why are you here?"
"Miss, I'm always here, okay? I'm so sad that you ignore me like this!"
"Come on! You. Hi!"
"Miss, you miss Master Xia."
"Humph! I'm not thinking about that bastard! That bastard actually stopped seeing me just for an insignificant promise. He's really an asshole."
"Ahem, Miss, that doesn't sound like what you said. Instead, it sounds like you're jealous!"
"Go away! When did you learn to tease your young lady? I'll teach you a lesson if your young lady doesn't teach you a lesson. You are getting bolder and bolder."
"Haha, this is all because of the young lady's indulgence."
"You! You are so lawless. Your lady is hungry, why don't you go to the kitchen and get something."
"Yes, I'll go right away."
Gu Jinmi sighed when she saw Shiyi leaving. Xia Ling! Xia Ling, you are really... I don't know what to say to you. Others say that I am stubborn and even ten cows can't pull me back. I think you are more stubborn than me.
That night, Gu Jinmi lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
Suddenly, she heard someone opening the window. Could it be that a thief came? Gu Jinmi immediately became alert. Damn it, thief, he actually dared to steal from her, he really didn't want to live! Humph! Let's see how she teaches this arrogant thief a lesson.
Gu Jinmi only felt the footsteps getting closer. He clenched his fists tightly and was about to stand up and attack someone when he was enveloped by a familiar breath.
"You, you." Gu Jinmi opened her eyes and looked at the man in the darkness, saying in disbelief.
"Haha, yes, it's me!" A voice that couldn't be more familiar rang out.
Gu Jinmi couldn't help it any longer, she threw herself into the man's arms and burst into tears, "Wuwu, wuwu, you bastard, you bastard, you actually, actually, have never appeared again in these three years. Do you know, do you know, I, wuwu"
Xia Ling hugged Gu Jinmi distressed and said, "Yes, yes, yes, it's all my fault. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have done that. I will never leave you again, okay?"
"Humph! I don't believe it! Do you know how I have been through these three years? You are such a heartless guy. I hate you, I hate you. If you have the guts, just don't show up for the rest of your life. We won't even want to get married when the time comes."
"That won't do. I can promise you anything else, but this is absolutely impossible for me." Xia Ling said while hugging Gu Jinmi tightly.
"Humph! Why? Just because you haven't been around for three years, can't I ignore you for three years?"
"Jin'er, this is all my fault. I shouldn't have done that, okay? But I've already promised Uncle Gu, I can't break my promise!"
"But my father said that you can't see me during this period. If you never finish it, are you going to never see me again for the rest of your life, you have no conscience."
"How is that possible? Do you think I would do something without any confidence? Besides, I just completed the mission. I didn't even go home. I came to see you. Do you know that if Uncle Gu hadn't promised to marry you to me after completing this mission, I would never have been able to endure the pain of missing you for three years!"
"Humph! Who knows about you? You know, my father said that you men are the most fickle and the easiest to change your mind. Who knows if you have been flirting with other women in the past three years, attracting bees and butterflies, and finding a few confidantes in other places."
"Jin'er, you are wrongly accusing me! Don't you understand how I feel about you? Is it really okay for you to doubt me like this?"
"Humph! I am just being suspicious, okay? Who told you not to come back within three years?"
"Yes, yes, yes, it's all my fault." Xia Ling lowered his head and sniffed Gu Jinmi and said, "Jin'er, I will go to Uncle Gu to propose marriage tomorrow. Okay."
"Hmph! I haven't forgiven you yet, okay?" Gu Jinmi pouted in dissatisfaction.
"But it seems like you have no choice now! You've already been marked by me! You can't cheat. You have to be responsible to me."
"Humph! Why don't you go back?"
"No. I'll stay with you today. I haven't seen you for a long time. I wish I could stay with you all day."
"rogue."
"Only to you"
"Hate."
"Well, it just annoys you."
"asshole"
"Well, only to you asshole. And I only belong to you, and you only belong to me, do you understand?"
"Humph! Do I have any other choice?"
"I'm sorry to tell you that no."
"Then what are you asking me?"
"Haha, you promised me."
"What do you think?"
"Haha. That's great. That's great."
"Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for successfully completing the mission."
