Quick Transmigration: The Love Rescue Plan

After several days of fussing, the Dong family saw no hope of improving the relationship and stopped sending anyone to invite Dong Ping.

The Guo family no longer has any goodwill towards the Dong family, and the Dong family is really afraid that if things continue to escalate, they will become enemies.

That day, Dong Ping was kneading dough in the kitchen when she heard Da Huang barking incessantly outside. Without even bothering to wipe the flour off her hands, she quickly ran out.

The big yellow dog in the yard had been there since Dong Ping married into the family. It had accompanied the Guo family through those difficult years, and Guo's parents and Dong Ping had long regarded it as a family member.

Now that Da Huang was barking incessantly, Dong Ping was worried that something had happened, so she rushed out.

"What, after seven or eight years, you don't recognize me, Big Yellow?"

His voice, carrying a faint smile, was magnetic and intoxicating, like a fine wine. This caused Dong Ping, who had just arrived at the door, to freeze in place. When she looked up, she met a pair of bright eyes.

A young man of about twenty-one or twenty-two years old, his armor gleaming in the morning sun, stood tall and straight like a pine tree, with slightly dark skin, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and a faint smile on his face.

[Ding~ Male lead Guo Likai's favorability +10, currently at 70.]

Dong Ping suddenly came to her senses, looking at the young man standing in the courtyard with a helpless expression, her hands constantly wiping the apron around her waist.

Even without Yingying's favorability rating, it wouldn't be hard to guess the young man's identity just from his attire. He was none other than Guo Likai, a newly appointed sixth-rank centurion.

"This...that..." For a moment, Dong Ping didn't know what to call Guo Likai. Husband? Sir? Young Master?

In her haste, Dong Ping bit her lower lip, blushed, stomped her foot, and ran back to the kitchen.

Hearing the hearty laughter behind her, Dong Ping couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Suddenly I felt that Guo Likai was very rude!

Laugh, laugh, what are you laughing at!

What's so funny about being flustered and at a loss when you suddenly see a strange man?

"Seven or eight years have passed, and even the family dog ​​doesn't recognize you. How can you expect your wife, who has never met you before, to recognize you?! Besides, what's wrong with a girl being shy? What's wrong with that?!" Dong Ping thought to herself as she kneaded the dough.

[Ding~ Male lead Guo Likai's favorability +10, currently at 80.]

Dong Ping's hand paused slightly, then she grinned and said, "Hmph, you're smart to know what's good for you."

Out of goodwill towards Guo Likai, Dong Ping decided to forgive him.

Although Dong Ping was thinking this, she was actually pounding the dough hard in her hands.

The commotion in the yard was quite loud. Not to mention Guo Likai's loud laughter, even Da Huang's earlier commotion was considerable.

Mr. and Mrs. Guo naturally knew that their child had returned.

Originally, Guo's parents wanted the young couple to get to know each other better before they reunited.

Who would have thought... since their daughter-in-law was too shy to hide in the kitchen, the elderly couple no longer needed to hide.

Mr. and Mrs. Guo walked out, supporting each other.

"My son, you're back!" Guo's mother couldn't help but cry as she hugged Guo Likai tightly.

Although she had known for a long time that her son was safe and sound and had even been granted an official position, and although she had told herself not to cry, she couldn't help but burst into tears when she saw her son standing quietly in front of her.

So many years of hardship and longing for her son turned into countless tears.

Guo Likai was at a loss as his mother cried, unsure how to comfort her.

"Alright, stop crying. Didn't our son come back safely? Daughter-in-law, bring your daughter-in-law out so they can meet her," Guo's father secretly wiped away his tears, then cleared his throat a few times to help Guo Likai out of the predicament.

Dong Ping had been secretly watching the commotion outside. As soon as she heard Guo's mother crying, she quickly ran out to comfort her.

Guo Likai had just returned and hadn't stayed long before he had to leave again, without even getting to eat the noodles Dong Ping had made.

Guo Likai is a good husband. Although he has been away from home these days due to other matters, as soon as he finished his work, he moved to the city with his parents and Dong Ping.

The house was quite large, with pavilions, terraces, rockeries, and ponds that were very elegant and refined.

When the two elders moved here from the countryside, Dong Ping realized that the house originally belonged to the Guo family.

Every brick, tile, and blade of grass here was designed by Guo's father, and Guo Likai was born in this house.

It was only later, when the Guo family declined, that they had to sell the house and move to Wangjia'ao.

As soon as they settled down, Guo's mother held her son's hand every day, wiping away tears as she recounted her longing and the hardships she had endured over the years.

"Hey, son, I'm telling you, you're not allowed to bully Ping'er."

Guo Likai has been very busy these past few days since he just got back, and hasn't had a chance to rest at home. Guo's mother is a little worried that Guo Likai is disliking Dong Ping. So she couldn't help but give him some pointers.

"Mother, that's not true."

"Really busy?"

Guo Likai nodded seriously and said, "Mother, I am indeed very busy. I am an official now!"

Guo's mother was amused by her son: "It's good that you're really busy. I'll go see Ping'er. I'm afraid she'll overthink things since you haven't been home these past few days."

As she wiped away her tears, Guo's mother walked toward the kitchen.

“These past years, while you were away, we’ve been so grateful to your wife.” Guo’s father also pulled Guo Likai to sit down on the stool.

Guo Likai nodded and said, "Father, I've heard about this before. Although I've never met her, I'm filled with gratitude."

Guo Likai made no mention of the Dong family or the second daughter of the Dong family, presumably because he didn't care.

If it weren't for the incident of poisoning Dong Ping in the second life, the Dong family would only have had one mistake: a substitute marriage.

Regardless of who her former fiancé was, the person she is now marrying is Dong Ping. Therefore, who her former fiancé was is no longer important.

There was nothing in the Dong family that Guo Likai should care about.

Back then, your Dong family looked down on the Guo family and replaced the bride; now, the Guo family is beyond your reach!

Just a clown.

"Ping'er is a good girl, you mustn't let her down," Guo's father said with some concern.

"Father, I know." Seeing that Guo's father still looked worried, as if he, as the son, would definitely bully his daughter-in-law, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Father, ever since our Guo family declined, I have never been optimistic about the marriage with the Dong family."

"It's just that the Dong family didn't take the initiative to break off the engagement, so it's not appropriate for our Guo family to do so either." Guo Likai was quite perceptive; ever since the Guo family fell from grace, he had never been optimistic about this marriage.

Guo Likai simply didn't want to hurt his parents, so he didn't say it outright.

Guo Likai said with a mocking smile, "However, it's not hard to guess what the Dong family is thinking. After all, since the decline of our Guo family, rumors have circulated that my second young lady, with whom I am engaged, is seriously ill."

Guo Likai sneered, "If it weren't for the conscription, I'm afraid that after the second young lady of the Dong family came of age, when I went to the Dong family to propose marriage, all I would have received was the news of her untimely death. However..."
