Quick Transmigration: The Love Rescue Plan

Chapter 64 The Substitute Bride (Bonus Chapter 1)

Ever since moving to the Guo family's old house, Dong Ping felt that the family was acting mysteriously.

After dinner, Guo's parents were nowhere to be seen; no one knew what they had gone off to do.

Dong Ping thought that Guo's parents probably wanted the young couple to develop their relationship, and were worried that they would feel awkward with the elders present.

But Guo Likai is also quite eccentric.

During this period, Guo Likai acted like a shopaholic, sending boxes of things home every day, and Dong Ping had no idea what he had bought.

Dong Ping didn't even see a trace of those things before the housekeeper took them all into the storeroom.

That's right, the housekeeper. After moving to the city, the old house was too big, and Dong Ping couldn't manage it all by herself.

Besides, Guo Likai was an official, so he still needed to hire servants for his household.

However, Guo's parents and Dong Ping were used to a hard life, so they didn't buy many servants.

One steward, two cooks, two gardeners, plus a few maids and servants are enough.

That said, Guo Likai bought a lot of things behind Dong Ping's back, and Dong Ping didn't ask about it.

In Dong Ping's view, they had survived the hardest times, so they shouldn't have ruined their family now.

If that's really the case, Guo's father would probably beat Guo Likai, that unfilial son, to death without Dong Ping even saying anything.

That day, Dong Ping was organizing the embroidery thread. A few months ago, the housekeeper's wife, Xiuqin, had asked Dong Ping to embroider something. Dong Ping had just finished embroidering it and sent it to her yesterday. Today, she was organizing the remaining embroidery thread.

Guo Likai walked in and suddenly picked Dong Ping up in his arms.

Guo Likai stood by the pond with Dong Ping in his arms, and asked with a grin, "Wife, do you think I'm a spendthrift?"

"Shameless! Hugging and kissing in broad daylight!" Dong Ping slapped Guo Likai's hand awkwardly.

Dong Ping didn't know what to say about Guo Likai anymore. In just a few months, Dong Ping had been saying "shameless" almost every day, and it had almost become her catchphrase.

Dong Ping was a conservative woman, and she didn't know how to handle Guo Likai's enthusiasm.

"Where's the shamelessness? Honey, you're just too shy. What's wrong with hugging my own wife?" Guo Likai said, hugging her even tighter.

"You..." Dong Ping's pretty face flushed red, and she suddenly looked up and smacked Guo Likai's chin hard with her head.

Taking advantage of Guo Likai's slight loosening of his grip due to pain, she quickly slipped out of Guo Likai's arms like a fish.

As he ran away, he made a face and said, "You lecher, go hug someone else if you want."

Seeing Dong Ping run off into the distance, Guo Likai quickly chased after her, shouting as he ran, "Wife, I don't care about anyone else, I only care about you!"

Even though it was in her own home, Guo Likai's loud declaration of love made Dong Ping blush even more.

Dong Ping covered her face, turned her head and cursed, "Shameless."

She hadn't run more than a few steps when she bumped into a wall of flesh. It turned out that while Dong Ping was covering her face and running in silence, Guo Likai had somehow gotten ahead of her.

Guo Likai had already turned around and opened his arms, waiting for Dong Ping to throw herself into his arms.

Dong Ping was embraced tightly by Guo Likai, her blushing face buried in his chest, refusing to come out, and she muttered under her breath, "Shameless."

"Yes, yes, yes, I'm shameless." Guo Likai cupped Dong Ping's small face in his hands and slowly lifted it up. Her shimmering, watery eyes met Guo Likai's bright, angular eyes.

Dong Ping's eyes held a mixture of helplessness, agitation, and shyness. She was about to habitually utter the words "shameless," but Guo Likai stopped her with a kiss before she could say no.

Her lips were covered by two wet, soft things. The warm touch and the lingering kiss made Dong Ping's already chaotic mind feel overwhelmed. She only felt a muffled buzzing sound in her ears, and her whole body melted into Guo Likai's arms like a pool of spring water.

Hearing Guo Likai's deep laughter, Dong Ping, whose body was already too weak to even be angry, clung tightly to Guo Likai's clothes like a drowning person.

"Wife, we..." Guo Likai looked down at Dong Ping's bright, moist lips, the color of which darkened slightly. His Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily. He pursed his lips, cleared his throat, and continued, "Wife, shouldn't we have a happy occasion in our family?"

Dong Ping used all her strength to push Guo Likai away.

Dong Ping glared angrily at Guo Likai, her eyes brimming with tears, and said, "You...you..."

Unable to say anything truly hurtful, Dong Ping hesitated for a long time before finally speaking with a hint of despair: "We...we didn't...just...you...you came back and immediately wanted...no wonder my parents avoided me;no wonder you bought so many things these past few days but wouldn't let me see them;no wonder Xiuqin wanted me to embroider her wedding dress, it turns out you wanted...I never expected this, I never expected this...you promised...I wouldn't let you betray me! You..."

Seeing that Dong Ping could barely stand and her beautiful eyes were filled with tears, Guo Likai knew from her words that Dong Ping had misunderstood.

Guo Likai said with concern, "Wife, don't misunderstand!"

Guo Likai quickly grabbed Dong Ping, who was about to run away in tears, and pulled her back into his arms despite her struggles: "Wife, you've misunderstood. I don't want to take a concubine! Those are your dowry and betrothal gifts prepared by our Guo family."

"I just... I just want to have another wedding with you. Before, I was away at war, and you were taken in by the Dong family..."

Perhaps not wanting to dredge up those unpleasant memories, Guo Likai paused before continuing, "I just feel that the wedding was unfair to you. And I myself am also very regretful that I couldn't have a wedding ceremony with you. Honey, don't you... feel any regret too?"

Upon hearing Guo Likai's words, Dong Ping stopped struggling, bit her lip slightly, looked up at Guo Likai, and seeing that his expression was sincere and genuine, she smiled.

Then she lightly stepped on Guo Likai's foot, and said coquettishly, "You scared me. I thought... I thought..."

"Wife, you can rest assured. If I dare to betray you, your parents will be the first to punish me, without you even lifting a finger. Besides..."

Guo Likai leaned down and gently pecked Dong Ping's lips: "I can't bear to part with such a lovely wife!"

"shameless!"

"Hmm, hmm, hmm, your husband is just that shameless, but unfortunately you're already on my pirate ship, and you'll never get off in this life... or the next life, or the life after that." Guo Likai hugged Dong Ping even tighter and asked cheerfully, "Wife, do you agree?"

"Even without guests and a banquet, even without a wedding procession and a wedding car, are you willing... to marry me—Guo Likai—here?" Guo Likai looked at Dong Ping earnestly.

"Silly girl! Who doesn't want to get married in style? It's not just you who's disappointed that we can't have a proper wedding ceremony and get married in a proper way."
