” Wife said that it’s all right,” answered Chen Mi as he sat beside Chu Chang who was surprised at the sudden change of plans. Chen Mi smiled with a beaming grin etched on his face as he continued, ” Wife said that I have been working hard and should take a break as well. So, I will come with you, Brother Li and Brother Liu.” Then for an extra dramatic effect, he pulled his best puppy dog face and looked at Shen Li and Ye Liu with a pair of shiny eyes. ” I can come with you, right?”

With Chen Mi looking at them with his puppy dog eyes, even Chu Chang who was sitting beside him could say ‘no’, how was it possible for Shen Li and Ye Liu who have doted on him for years say ‘no’? So, without a hitch, Chen Mi was able to tag along with his brothers.

” You have to write me letters every day,” said Yu Mai as he held Lang Ru’s hands while sobbing his eyes out. ” Remember to send me letters and candies every day as you promised, if you don’t I will not talk to you ever again.”

Lang Ru patiently wiped his tears away and promised. ” I will, I will send you so many letters you will get tired of reading them.”

She said that to make Yu Mai stop crying but after listening to Lang Ru’s words, he cried even more as he looked at her with his teary eyes and snotty nose. ” I will miss you.”

” I will miss you too.”

” I will miss you more.”

” No, I will miss you more.”

” I will—— UWahhhh! Don’t leave Ruru!” Yu Mai cried even harder as big fat tears started to fall down his cheeks. Lang Ru who saw him crying so hard went ahead to hold him in her arms but then she watched as Yu Mai flew away from her reach. That’s right flew away, as Yu Dong picked him up in her arms with a nerve twitching in her forehead. ” All right that’s enough, Mai… send sister Ruru with a smile and say goodbye, she will come to see you in the winter or summers, there is no need to cry like that.”

As Yu Dong said this, she carefully looked at Lang Ru who was looking at her with an expression ‘yes, yes you are right sister.’ She didn’t know why was it that even though Lang Ru was looking at her with a polite attitude, she was finding her more and more annoying.

” Sister..?” Yu Mai who had his arms raised to hug Lang Ru was surprised when he realised that he was in the arms of his sister instead Lang Ru.

” That’s right, its sister.” Yu Dong smiled as she looked at her stupid brother, to think that he was getting closer to that Lang brat in front of her like this, how can he hug a girl at such a tender age? Doesn’t he know that a young boy and girl should stay away from each other once they grow older than six years? What was this romantic send-off? Even she didn’t hug her husbands, so why were these brats acting like they will never see each other again? ” If you want to hug someone hug your sister.”

Fortunately, Yu Mai did as she asked which eased Yu Dong’s temper a little.

Lang and Zhu Qian exchanged a glance at each other and looked away, they too tried to make their daughter understand but she said that she had her own plans, in the end, they had no other choice but to let her do as she wanted because Lang Ru was no longer a small child who didn’t know what she was doing.

Lang, Lang Ru and Wu Junfen got in another carriage before the new workers hired by Yu Dong smacked the horse’s behind and with a loud lurch the carriages started to drive away. Yu Dong watched them go and then turned to Fang Chi who holding little bun who was looking sullen and annoyed.

Yu Dong felt her temples throb as she looked at her son who looked like he wanted to punch someone in the face and patted his head. ” Little bun make sure not to become a sly mer like your father—-“

But then she thought about how her daughter in law will have a good time if little bun grew up as a good child-like Shen Li and Fang Chi, so she narrowed her eyes and added, ” Make sure to become even more sly than your daddy.”

Hah! She was suffering so her daughter-in-law must suffer with her as well!

Mu Ran who was holding her brother’s hand shivered unconsciously and looked around —- what was that? Why was she shivering? Did she catch a chill?

She blinked her big, round eyes and immediate hugged her brother in her arms. She couldn’t let her brother catch a chill after all.

Fang Chi who knew exactly what was going on in Yu Dong’s head felt his lips twitch. He hoped that his child will be a daughter, not because he was afraid that Yu Dong won’t dote on his child if he was a mer but because she will raise that little mer to be a tiny menace and then he would spend the rest of his life receiving complaints about what kind of mer he gave birth to—— at the same time he felt sorry for all the daughter in-laws of the Yu Family because they won’t be marrying a mer—- they will be bringing a devil to their houses!
