Fang Chi was blushing so furiously that everyone was worried he would explode any second. That bronze skin was flushed so red that it seemed almost impossible. The villagers all stared at Fang Chi, enjoying the rare sight they might never witness again. Only a handsome woman like Yu Dong can make a tough mer like Fang Chi act so feminine.

Fang Chi knew that everyone's attention was on him, his head dropped even lower, and he walked towards Yu Dong like a bullied little wife, with slow, tentative steps. He was walking so slowly that everyone thought it may take until daybreak to reach Yu Dong.

Yu Dong must have thought so too, because she took a few steps forward and stood beside Grandma Fang. Once Fang Chi reached her, she held her hand out to receive the token he would hand her.

Fang Chi's warm fingers skimmed over her palm, and then he turned around and scampered back into the house like a frightened rabbit. Yu Dong was amused by his antics. However, she was even more amused when she opened her hand and noticed a damp handkerchief lying on her palm.

No wonder she thought that the token was a bit too wet. It was a handkerchief dripping with sweat after all!

Yu Dong felt her lips twitch. However, she didn't want to embarrass Fang Chi, so she didn't dare to laugh. She clutched the damp handkerchief in her hand and suppressed the laughter bubbling in her throat. Her shoulders shook because of the effort she was putting in suppressing her laughter.

Of course, the people beside her saw the damp handkerchief token as well. But they too didn't want to make things difficult for Fang Chi, so all the villagers tactfully looked away like they hadn't seen what just happened.

Alright, alright, what was there to laugh about? The poor boy was just nervous. It's normal. It wasn't like he got engaged every other day.

Grandma Fang looked at the handkerchief in Yu Dong's hand and felt her temple throb 'this boy! Seriously!' she wanted to scold Fang Chi for making such a stupid mistake but couldn't say anything. The villagers at the back didn't know what had happened. If she were to scold him, wouldn't she tell them that Fang Chi gave Yu Dong his twisted and frayed handkerchief as a love token? How Embarrassing it will be!

However, before they could move on to the next step, Fang Chi, who went inside the house again, ran out. The pitter-patter sound resonated around the small courtyard. If Fang Chi was flushed before, it was nothing compared to how red he was now. He now looked like a freshly cooked lobster with his ruddy complexion.

Yu Dong knew why he came here, so she good-naturedly put her other hand forward and took the pouch he was holding. She didn't return the handkerchief lest people in the back realized that Fang Chi had made a mistake.

"Eh? Fang Chi is giving Yu Doing two love tokens?

"

"Of course he is! Haven't you seen the huge bride price Yu Dong brought for him? Just one token is a bit stingy, don't you think so?

"

"At first, I thought that it was clearly a matter of bridegroom being forcefully tossed in Yu Dong's household, but now I think it's not the case. Just look at them. Don't you think they are a little too sweet ?

"

"Yeah, a match made in heaven.

"

Because of Fang Chi's one simple mistake, everyone had misunderstood the situation and changed the narrative. It was no longer 'Fang Chi made a mistake in giving his token,' but instead, it became 'Fang Chi loves Yu Dong a bit too much.

Yu Dong could hear what the others were talking about. Her expression didn't change throughout the entire situation. She simply put away both the 'love tokens' and even smiled at Fang Chi even more indulgently. It only made the misunderstanding of the people even deeper.

'Look, who said Fang Chi was going to suffer at Yu Dong's house? Just look at that doting smile! Yu Dong was clearly won over by Fang Chi's loving consideration!'

Fang Chi was even more embarrassed. He thought he had lost every inch of his face today that he had. He made such a stupid mistake. What might others think about him? Wouldn't they feel that he didn't have Yu Dong in his heart, this... This wasn't good.

Yu Dong naturally saw the conflicted expression of Fang Chi. She knew that he couldn't hear what the others were saying, unlike her, and must have misunderstood the situation. So, she smiled and looked at him with a sincere expression.

"Chi, go back inside. My heart can't bear when others look at the beautiful you. Now it's my right alone.

"

She very naturally and smoothly delivered such a flirty line burning with a fierce possessiveness. The villagers standing in the courtyard all turned to look at Yu Dong in sync.

They blinked. Some even cleaned their ears with their pinky thinking that they heard wrong but then -

"Woah!

"

"That's crazy! Did I just hear wrong, or did she just say that?

"

"I didn't think that Yu Dong was this savvy! Mother, didn't she look handsome when she said those words? I think my ears are tingling!

"

"You are not alone. Even my heart cannot take this. It's thumping so loudly, I think - I just saw a Goddess! A heroic Goddess!

"

"If we are like this... Then how is Fang Chi who got the first-hand impact?

"

Everyone turned to look at Fang Chi, who stood still like he was shocked to his core. Then he hiccuped, his face turning red at an alarming rate before he glared at Yu Dong with misty eyes that were like little deer, moist and startled, staring at a big bad wolf.

Everyone waited for his reaction with bated breathe.

"YOU...YOU...YOU!

" Fang Chi stuttered while hiccuping. He could only say the word 'you' for a while before he turned around and escaped into his house. Once again fleeing, like a rabbit who would be eaten by a wolf!

Everyone then turned to look at the big bad wolf.

Yu Dong coughed and then looked at the crowd with a smile on her face .

"My fiance is kind of cute, isn't he?

"

Everyone

".....

" let's forget about your fiance for a while, arent you looking a bit too handsome?
