Chapter 199 - Come With Me

As the group proceeded to the Jiang house, Fang Chi pretended that he couldn't feel the scowl that Yu Dong was directing his way he wasn't the only one who could feel that Yu Dong's mood was a little off as she glanced back at the group from time to time, no one in the group dared to say a single word. Even Xiao Hua who never seemed to shut up, they all simply followed after Yu Dong as a group of newly married bridegrooms and tried to make their presence as inconspicuous as possible.

Yu Dong's gaze had been drilling into him ever since they have started to walk towards the Jiang house. Yu Dong had never shot him a look that made him nervous because of the bolt of heat spiralling inside his body but at the same time, it made him have an urge of fleeing away from her. He hadn't taken the ' flight' course of action and that was now he seriously believed he was going to get in a heap of trouble.

Getting the key to the Jiang house wasn't difficult, Yu Dong had to just throw in an extra wad of money and Aunt Jiang packed all her bags in just an hour and was now already on her way to the capital, it was astounding to see the miracles money can create, even the ever arrogant Aunt Jiang was licking Yu Dong's boots with a flattering smile. Everything had obviously gone in the wrong direction and so much trouble was incited on her part that it was completely alright of her to give him that scowl the one that made his toes curl up – Fang Chi knew why exactly Yu Dong was finding him scowl worthy all of a sudden but he didn't dare to say anything, he simply lowered his head and tried to pacify Yu Dong silently.

Shen Li who saw their interaction shook his head, he knew that the reason Yu Dong was this upset wasn't that she was troubled. Yu Dong didn't fear trouble, in fact, sometimes she found trouble fascinating as she found the life in the village boring sometimes even if she didn't admit it .. the reason she was upset was that Fang Chi had kneeled and begged for her sake. Yu Dong wasn't an arrogant woman with an atrocious personality but she had her pride – she wouldn't want her husbands to ever kneel to anyone else, not even her. Not unless they were pleasing her.

Except for that Yu Dong didn't like them to submit to her or anyone else for the matter, not unless they were wrong. And Fang Chi was clearly not the one in the wrong but he still kowtowed .. it wasn't surprising that Yu Dong was angry with him for giving in to those old women.

Ye Liu and Chen Mi exchanged a glance and immediately grimaced. Yu Dong wouldn't get angry that easily but when she did – it was hard to please her. They knew that Fang Chi was in trouble when Yu Dong asked him to follow them instead of going back with Grandma Fang, they just hoped that he would be able to handle Yu Dong's anger or he might be severely punished. Though they knew Yu Dong will never harm a mer but it was still a matter to be discussed whether or not she will hit Fang Chi, in case he offended her more than he already have. They have after all never seen her angry like this.

The Jiang house wasn't too far from their house, which was a good thing since Yu Dong would be able to keep track of the mers, she wasn't all that relaxed about leaving so many mers alone. The Jiang house had a decent build – it was big, a little too big for a house in the village but still too small when compared to a mansion in the capital, no wonder aunt Jiang was in such a hurry to get out of this house that could no longer handle a big Buddha-like her.

The house had everything that the mers needed, an outhouse inside the house – a bathhouse and a kitchen with a considerable number of empty rooms which can easily accommodate them.

" Go and choose a room for yourself, don't let me hear a single complaint about the arrangement later on,

" said Yu Dong with a stern voice as she turned to look at the group of mers behind her

" The one who is the fastest may win, now go!

"

As soon as she said that the mers rushed past her, even Xiao Hua as he called over his shoulder

" Brother Hanjing, you stay there I will get us two the best rooms

" then jumping and sliding he rushed right past the group

" Get out of my way, don't you dare to fight with me, ooooh Little Zumo trying to get past your big brother? We will see !!

".

Yu Dong knew he would be the first to get the rooms, Xiao Hua might look like he wasn't worried about the materialistic comforts but he was someone who just hid his lazy attitude beneath all that charm, unlike the other mers, he seemed to be a bit more attracted to things that suited his comfort, so as he could easily zone out .. something he did quite often in the memories of the original owner.

Throwing Xiao Hua's ambitious streak and laziness, she focused her attention on Fang Chi who squirmed under her gaze uncomfortably. Yu Dong ignored his pleading eyes and held her finger as she motioned Fang Chi to come with her before she turned around and started walking towards the backyard.

Fang Chi wanted to cry but had no tears, he seemed to have used up all of his tears and just couldn't muster anymore, he looked at Shen Li who just gave him a sympathetic smile as he patted on his shoulder

" Just admit you're wrong and promise to not do it again alright? She will forgive you

"

Ye Liu also gave him a reassuring look

" Yeah, as long as you know what you did wrong and promise not to do it again, Yu Dong won't harp on it

"

" Good luck brother Chi,

" said Chen Mi giving him a thumbs up.

Fang Chi felt touched, he was prepared to suffer under Yu Dong's husbands who would have thought they were this nice!

Shen Li , Ye Liu , Chen Mi :

"…..

" We are not being nice, we just found you too pitiful for irking Yu Dong's wrath.
