” Who is going too far huh? You little thing you come here, let me show you what ‘going too far’ in my dictionary means,” Xiao Hua rolled his sleeves as he readied himself to head out and fight with Chen Ying’s husband but was pulled back by Li Hanjing, who whispered in his ears, ” That mer is with a child if you hurt him what will people say and God forbids if something was to happen to him, maybe the Chen family will ask you to compensate the loss of that child, think straight Hua Hua, don’t let anger get to your head.”

Only then did Xiao Hua’s mind which was bursting with anger and annoyance cleared up a little and he turned to look at the mer who has a small swollen belly around two months or so… his eyes narrowed as he looked at the mer and the parents of Chen Ying before he sneered and turned his head to look at Chen Ying who holding a knife against her wrist. ” Do you think you can threaten me into giving in to your whims just because you threaten me with your life? Let me take a break and laugh at your delusions because bitch you sure as hell are wrong, I will never marry you, not even if I have to die a virgin, you hear me?”

Chen Ying wasn’t drunk out of her mind, she deliberately came up with the idea of forcing Xiao Hua into a corner after noticing that he wasn’t melting to any of her soft approaches, it was simply annoying that a redeemed mer who has—- God knows where he has been while living in the tavern. Just because he was a virgin doesn’t mean that there were no other ways to serve his customers, Chen Ying was certain that Xiao Hua wasn’t as ‘pure’ as he made himself look and was most definitely just playing hard to get with her.

But the thing was she couldn’t let go of him either, he was the most beautiful mer in the entire town, in fact, she wouldn’t be going too far if she was to claim that he was one of the most beautiful mer in the entire Empire. A mer so beautiful like that she was willing to accept him even if he wasn’t pure.

However, even after trying so hard for so many days, Xiao Hua wasn’t willing to give her a single chance, he was simply too stubborn for his own good and didn’t know when to budge and give up on his stubborn attitude, of course, she was looking forward to beating that attitude out of his body once she got her hands on him.

This was why she came up with this plan, if she threatened him with her life then surely he will have to give into her. That was what she thought but after pushing back and forth for so long, she realised that Xiao Hua wasn’t as easily bullied as she thought, he had a much stronger mentality and wasn’t willing to break.

Why was he so difficult? Why wasn’t he like the other mers who would kneel down under a woman’s threat and accept defeat? And why exactly was he putting such a strong fight? He was a redeemed mer, he should be glad that she was willing to marry him instead of accepting him as her bedmate! She was even willing to give him —- an ex-courtesan the position of her secondary husband, wasn’t it a good deal?

” X…Xiao Hau, hic, if you don’t…don’t accept me then I will really die here in front of your house,” threatened Chen Ying as she placed the knife on her wrist and increased the pressure—- only enough to make it look like she was going to cut her wrist but not hard enough to break the skin.

” Die! Die right in front of me! Who do you think you are scaring huh?” Xiao Hua tried to walk out of the threshold but Li Hanjing stopped him, Xiao Hua patted his chest and shouted, ” I have seen many women like you, you think you are the first one to do this? There are plenty who tries to pull this stunt on me, I am not a young naive mer who has never seen the world, don’t even think to make a fool out of me, got it? I have dealt with women who are much tougher and more persistent than you, you think you will be able to scare me with a fruit knife and a few threatening words? Cut the wrist now! If you have the guts then cut it now! Let me see it too how much of a woman you are!”

” Xiao Hua stop talking nonsense!” Chen Ying’s husband did not know about his wife’s plans and thought that she was really drunk, he was afraid that if Xiao Hua kept on egging his wife, then maybe his wife might really do something. ” I have three kids and my youngest will be born in a few months, if something happens to my wife then what will I do? Are you going to compensate me huh?”

” Why would I compensate you, you cowardly no balls but all talks bastard?” Xiao Hua slipped off his shoe and aimed at Chen Ying’s husband, he would have thrown it too if not for little Zimo snatching it away from him. Empty-handed Xiao Hua waved his hand in the air, ” Did I ask your stupid wife to get a knife and put this drama here huh? I didn’t right, then why will I compensate you? If anything you should be compensating me for all the headache that you are giving me! If you are so upset about everything then you might as well drag your wife and take her away from here, don’t you find this embarrassing? I can’t even imagine how much humiliating this must be for you.”

Of course, it was humiliating but there was nothing he could do, his wife has been hung up over Xiao Hua ever since she first saw him. Only God knows how upset she was when she found out that Xiao Hua redeemed himself. In fact, if she didn’t fear Yu Dong retaliating then she might have already tried to get her hands on Xiao Hua, it was only the fear of Yu Dong and her bold actions that was stopping his wife from coming strongly at Xiao Hua.

Just as Chen Ming’s husband thought about this, the sound of footsteps approaching came from behind and then —— ” What the hell is going on here?” Uh oh, the devil was here.

Xiao Hua: >.< my knight in shining armour is here!!!
