Chapter 1463

"No! I don't want to! I don't want to marry Mother!"

Seeing Seeing Gongye Gui suddenly stood up and retorted.

"How can you be so stubborn, child? Kneel and kowtow to your mother to apologize at once."

As he spoke, Gongye Zan grabbed Seeing Seeing Gongye Gui's collar and forcibly made him kneel on the ground.

"Thud~~"

A dull thud rang out. Watching his son's head strike the ground hard, Seeing Seeing Gongye Gui had tears in his eyes, yet a smile hung on his lips; his son had grown up, finally become sensible, and would no longer worry him, so he could retire from the martial world in peace and spend his old age in comfort.

"Seeing Seeing Gongye Gui pays his respects to Father."

"Very well, rise quickly."

Helping Seeing Seeing Gongye Gui to his feet and brushing the dust from his clothes, Gongye Zan's heart was filled with deep warmth.

"Young Master Xia, thank you truly for this matter. Please stay!"

"Mm."

Waving a hand, Xia Yu left the Gongye residence, but within Seeing Seeing Gongye Gui's field of vision, Xia Yu suddenly vanished; he did not know whether this Young Master Xia was a man or a ghost.

"Young Master, why did you not ask us why we just blocked you?"

Seeing Seeing Gongye Gui's servant spoke up to inquire; he did not understand. According to their understanding of Seeing Seeing Gongye Gui, he should have pressed for an answer to the end.

"No need. Since I have chosen this path, I ought to shoulder the responsibility, not blame heaven and complain about others."

Seeing Seeing Gongye Gui said lightly; he had grown up, and such childish behavior would absolutely not be allowed to occur. He would tread flat all obstacles ahead with his own legs and make that world a paradise for his conquest.

"Yes, Young Master."

Watching Seeing Seeing Gongye Gui's departing back, the servant's face showed an expression of awe; this was truly the heir of the Gongye family, and he would strive for the entire Gongye clan his whole life.

Xia Yu returned home, took a hot bath, and went to sleep, yet his thoughts remained unsettled; this world seemed increasingly complex, and he needed to be even more cautious.

On the second day, Xia Yu set out for Chengnan with Long Kui and the little girl Gongye Ling'er.

Chengnan was the Gongye family's estate and the only manor in this city.

"Father, where are you going?"

Looking at this familiar yet strange place, Gongye Ling'er could not help but ask curiously, for she had never come to this place before, and moreover she had come with the father she loved to play with most.

"Ling'er, we will go find your mother to play later, but Father still has very important matters to attend to; once I finish, I will accompany you to play, okay!"

Rubbing his daughter's head, Xia Yu replied with a smile.

"Mm-hmm, then Ling'er will go in first!"

Waving her little short arms, Gongye Ling'er ran toward the courtyard with her little short legs, but as she walked she ran back to Xia Yu's front.

"Father, may I give you a hug?"

The little girl asked, tilting her head.

"Hahaha, of course."

Xia Yu squatted down and embraced Gongye Ling'er in his arms.

"Mm, Father, you smell so good."

Smelling the unique manly scent on her own man, Gongye Ling'er could not help but close her eyes; she had never seen such a charming uncle before. Who was he? Could he be Father's friend?

Watching the well-behaved Gongye Ling'er, Xia Yu patted her little head, then turned and walked into the manor.

"Young Master has returned. Master has ordered the kitchen to prepare lunch; please wait a moment, Young Master."

"Thank you, Liu Mama."

"Young Master is too modest."

Liu Mama hurriedly said; in this world there were not so many formalities, and she was merely an ordinary servant.

"Young Master, you have finally returned; you have not come these past days."

As soon as Xia Yu sat down, Gongsun Yu came forward; he was the chief steward and personal bodyguard beside Gongye Zan, and he could decide most affairs of the Gongye family.

"It is my fault."

Xia Yu said apologetically; these days he had been cultivating, and unless necessary he would not go out at all, so he had neglected his own maids.

"Young Master, do not say that; these past few days Miss Ling'er has been pestering me to ask about you for a long time!"

"Ahem, well, Ling'er, you missed Father, right!"

Hearing his daughter's name, Xia Yu was extremely embarrassed, yet he changed the subject.

"Ling'er missed Father."

"Hehehe, good, good. Then after we eat, Father will accompany Ling'er to play."

"Mm!"
