When Father Xie thought about how his good son was forced into marrying that Ruan Chanchan, his heart couldn’t help but ache. He knew that there was nothing wrong with Ruan Chanchan’s character and that she was a really good girl. But in the end, he was a father, and he had given birth to Xie Daiyu after suffering from nine months of pregnancy. How could he not be upset with his wife when he found out that she had actually given his son to Ruan Chanchan? That too, without even asking him a thing! She could have simply chosen another solution. Why did she have to push their son into the fire pit? What was she even thinking!?
"You are unjustly accusing ." Chief Xie wanted to fight back but was slapped on the face again. Upset with the situation, she couldn’t help but say, "Do you think that our son is so nice that he will listen to what I tell him just like that? Unless he wanted to do it, no one in this family could make him submit. Alrighty?"
"My son was just looking after you. He didn’t want to embarrass you as the chief of the tribe, and that was the only reason he allowed you to make that decision," Father Xie shouted angrily.
"It’s all my fault. I am the one who is in the wrong. Just don’t get angry, my dear. If you want, then you can slap a few more tis. As long as your anger simrs down, I am willing to be beaten." Chief Xie couldn’t bear seeing her husband angry, so she hurriedly tried to calm him down.
Guo An glared at his wife. Did she think that these sweet words were enough to calm down? Of course not.
"I know that you are upset because Ruan Chanchan doesn’t have a totem, but she is really kind, and her character is much better than Shao Xia’s. You know it too, don’t you? She saved the lives of our tribe mbers. And if there is sothing that she doesn’t know, then I am there to teach her, and if you think that I cannot do a good job, then you can take the task over." She added in a hurry when she saw her husband narrowing his eyes at her. "I an, you are an expert when it cos to such things, Guo An. I am sure that you can straighten Ruan Chanchan right up."
"What do you an by those words? Do you an to say that I am a fierce r? Is that what you are trying to say? Do you think I am going to be a bad father-in-law?" Guo An questioned while staring at his wife.
"Who said that? My Guo An is the prettiest and the most beautiful," praised Chief Xie. If soone looked at her carefully, they could see that she was sweating profusely.
It seed like she needed to talk with Xie Daiyu.
Even though she made the decision in the heat of the mont, Ruan Chanchan was still Xie Daiyu’s destined one. Her son was the one who asked her to arrange for this to happen. He certainly couldn’t bla her. Oh, he’d better not bla her. Chief Xie decided that she was going to talk with her son and let him know that even if he suffers in the future, he could only talk about it to her rather than soone else. If he told his father that he was unhappy then Guo An would peel a layer of skin off her body.
Even if he is not satisfied, he has to say that he is satisfied!
When Xie Daiyu saw the ss in the cave, he knew that there was no point in getting involved. He turned around on his feet and escaped.
He would rather let his mother sort this ss out before trouble reached him.
The next morning, when Ruan Chanchan woke up, she found Xie Daiyu waiting for her. He had gone hunting earlier in the morning and had caught a long-haired beast. Its fur was white and rather fluffy, which made it look even prettier. Just like a rabbit but egg-shaped. This beast was not easy to catch, as it could dig into soil at rapid speed and would often disappear under the ground before anyone could catch it. Only soone as skilled as Xie Daiyu was capable of catching these beasts. Its fur was a favourite of the rs and the won. Even n liked to make beds with the fur of this long-haired beast.
"Ruan Chanchan, are you awake?" Xie Daiyu greeted Ruan Chanchan with a smile on his lips when he saw that she had woken up. "Wait a mont, I will go ahead and skin this thing for you. Eating this little thing won’t catch the attention of the elders." now that Xie Daiyu had confird that Ruan Chanchan was his chosen one, he had no qualms about taking care of her.
"Did you go hunting so early?" Ruan Chanchan, who was used to sleeping late, woke up when she heard Xie Daiyu pacing outside. She wanted to ignore the r and continue sleeping but when she saw that he was waiting for her silently, Ruan Chanchan couldn’t harden her heart and ignore him. What surprised her was that Xie Daiyu actually hunted a beast for her to eat. If she was not wrong, then it wasn’t even four in the morning, and yet this r was already up and about for her sake.
Seeing this, Ruan Chanchan could no longer play dead. She got up and tried to suppress her embarrassnt when she saw that even her little brother had long disappeared from the cave. The totem warriors were used to waking up early and sleeping late. Sothing Ruan Chanchan was sure that she couldn’t get used to, even if she tried her best.
Xie Daiyu quickly cleaned up the beast, which was almost as big as a sheep and could easily be eaten by four people. "Yeah, I know you cannot eat the at of the beasts that we hunt, so I tried hunting sothing different."
