An Accidental Rebirth: The Surrogate Bride - Chapter 136

As the Yu family and the Liu family were on good terms, needless to say, Yu Xiaohu and his wife hoped that their “Sister Liu” and “her” husband would get along well with each other. Moreover, they were clear who wore the pants in “Sister Liu’s” family, so if “Sister Liu” could be on good terms with “her” husband, it would be a great guarantee for the safety of the Yus! As what Shiliu had just said to Zixiu did not seem to have worked, and they did not have the guts to talk to “Sister Liu’s” husband, the couple decided to “move” the two with their actions!

During dinner, they intentionally picked food for each other to show their affection for each other. After dinner, seeing that Zixiu was still reluctant to go back to his carriage, holding the baby, the couple hung about in front of him to show how happy the three of them were together. Actually, as Yu Xiaohu and his wife were very close, they were showing their true feelings naturally more than acting. They had no idea whether Zixiu had seen it or not. Anyway, Zixiu did look in their direction from time to time. After a while, the baby fell asleep. For fear that it would get cold, they had to stop performing and go back to their carriage to rest.

Zixiu had seen the couple coaxing their baby in the woods, but he did not know that they had done this on purpose, nor that they had mistaken him and Nangong Du for a couple who were quarreling! It was true that he did not get along well with Nangong Du, but it had nothing to do with affection. He thought he had no feelings for Nangong Du at all, and he was with him only because he had no other choice for the moment. Actually, what he could not bear was the despicable character of that foppish childe! He did not come out for a walk to avoid Nangong Du, but only to help his digest. When he saw the harmonious picture of the three togther, what he was thinking about was how to get them out of trouble!

Anyway, if it weren’t for him, the Yu family would not have suffered all this, so he had the obligation to ensure that they would get out of danger and live peacefully at home!

A moment later, it started snowing. When Zixiu came back into the carriage, Nangong Du was reading a book by the oil lamp.

“Humph!” ‘A refined rascal!’ with a snort of disdain, he cursed inwardly. He then lifted the hem of his robe and sat down on the soft couch with a serious look. Since he was not capable enough for the moment, he had to talk to Nangong Du about the safety of the Yu family.

“What are you going to do with the Yu family?” He came straight to the point.

Without answering him, Nangong Du went on reading, as if he had not heard what he said at all.

Zixiu was certain that he was turning a deaf ear to his question on purpose, but he knew that he had to negotiate with Nangong Du, not to argue with him at this point. He held back his anger and continued to ask with a stern look, “Are you going to take them with you?”

“What do you mean? You think they’re a burden?” Nangong Du asked coldly without looking up. In fact, he was already in a rage. It seemed Liu Zixiu was still talking to him with disrespect! He had never learned from his experience!

“Prince Mu, I’m not here to argue with you!” Zixiu stressed seriously. He knew well how narrow-minded Nangong Du was.

“So you still know who I am?” Nangong Du’s tone became even colder. He was not trying to pick on Liu Zixiu, but the latter was so arrogant and he did not take him seriously at all! If he kept putting up with him, Liu Zixiu was going to trample him under his feet!

“Your Highness, please don’t find fault with the Yus. Grandpa Yu and his grandson can’t afford the long journey!” Zixiu admired himself as he still could talk calmly. If it weren’t for the sake of Yu Xiaohu, who had saved his life, he would never bow to a scum he hated the most! “Grandpa Yu is already over sixty. Although Xiaohu has become a dad, he’s still a minor…”

“A minor?” What Zixiu said struck Nangong Du as ridiculous. Was Yu Xiaohu a child under the age of eight? However, he was still surprised that Liu Zixiu would have made concessions before he used force.

Realizing that his thoughts were not suitable for this era, Zixiu immediately changed the topic. “Those people want to kill you. Even though the Yus have got themselves into trouble by accident, they won’t be their main target. Besides, with so many people with you, those killers have a better chance of finding you!” he continued after analysis.

“Liu Zixiu, are you still thinking about leaving alone?” Nangong Du came to this conclusion in surprise. Liu Zixiu was about the same age as Yu Xiaohu. Was he hinting that he, like Yu Xiaohu, was only a minor, who should not be punished for his provocative words and deeds? The same thing, the Yus were not the main target of those killers, and neither was he, so he did not have to worry about the danger of going back alone, right?

‘Seems I’m casting pearls before swine! I must have done something wrong in my last life and God let me meet this asshole to punish me!’ Zixiu thought resentfully. Though he was seized with an impulse to rush over and bite Nangong Du, he managed to calm himself down. As if he had not heard what Nangong Du said, Zixiu continued, “Your Highness, actually, you just need to find the Yus a place to live. There’s no need for them to travel all the way with you. Don’t you think so?” Zixiu thought if the Yus continued to go with Nangong Du, they were doomed to bad luck.

Nangong Du did not reply but looked even grimmer. How dare Liu Zixiu turn a blind ear to what he said! It seemed it was the time to show the majesty of a husband! After two days of rest, his physical strength had almost recovered, but Liu Zixiu obviously still regarded him as a patient!

Zixiu had to admit that he underestimated his enemy, or to put it another way, he had forgotten how violent and merciless Nangong Du was. Even though he had been defeated by the latter in the morning, he did not become alarmed, still thinking that Nangong Du could do nothing to him, just like when they were in the Cirrus Valley. So he was stunned when he straightened his neck to show his fearlessness and was suddenly grabbed by Nangong Du with his hands, which were as strong as a hawk’s claws.

“I told you that if you dared to push your luck again, I would not show mercy!” Nangong Du said coldly, like an Asura from hell. He pressed his thumbs against Zixiu’s throat, and as long as he exerted some force, the latter would definitely die!

“No, don’t…” Zixiu begged out of the instinct for survival as if a cub whining. Only then did he realize that he could never change the ferocity of “a wolf”!

Though Nangong Du did not exert much strength, Zixiu’s face started turning red. Nangong Du only looked at him expressionlessly, without any sympathy. As he did not mean to kill Zixiu, he then loosened his grip and warned again, “Liu Zixiu, those who I have made out with will only end up in two ways: either to be made consorts, as you are now, or to be executed for offending me, as you will be one day!”
