” I will tell Lady Qiao to come back later?” said the mer servant sensing that maybe Jiang Fenhua wasn’t willing to see Qiao Sha. It might be possible for him to be angry with Qiao Sha who did not come to see him for so long, right? Right. This must be it, after all, why will a husband not be willing to see his wife.

”It’s all right, send her in,” Jiang Fenhua who finally recovered his senses heaved a breath and then turned to look at his reflection in the mirror in front of him as he picked up a wooden comb and started to untangle the knots in his hair. ” But do tell her that she might not receive the answer she wishes to receive, in case she doesn’t want to waste her time she can leave.”

The mer servant didn’t understand what Jiang Fenhua meant by this but Qiao Sha who received the message immediately understood what he was trying to say. He was telling her that even if she wanted to question him about why he went to see Yu Dong, he might not tell her about it and if she tried to push him too much, he will only tell her what he wanted to but not the entire thing.

Qiao Sha gritted her teeth, the two guards she sent to Yu Dong’s bar were knocked unconscious, how it happened no one knows even the guards said that they didn’t see anyone coming but they started to hallucinate things. Qiao Sha at once knew that those two idiots were standing guards at the door of the winery of the bar and got drunk from the overwhelming scent of alcohol.

She was furious at the failure but she was even more furious upon thinking that Jiang Fenhua seemed to be getting more and more out of hand. When she brought him to her house, she asked him to live like he was dead but instead, he seems to be getting more and more restless, he even brought a few boxes of strawberries and won both Zhou Ming and her grandmother.

While her grandmother gave her a lecture about how she was being too much by ignoring Jiang Fenhua, Zhou Ming said that Jiang Fenhua wasn’t as bad as he thought he was, and for what? Just giving him a box of strawberries? For relaying Yu Dong’s message?

How can the two of them forget, how he got into this house? He snuck in by shamelessly drugging her!

” I get it,” said Qiao Sha as she walked past the mer servant into Jiang Fenhua’s pavilion, she too didn’t want to see Jiang Fenhua but she had no other choice, that mer was too smart for his own good, what if he plans something against her or Zhou Ming with Yu Dong? Though Yu Dong was a nice woman, she was in the end a woman, what if Jiang Fenhua used his dirty tricks and got her hooked?

The thought though unsettling was true. She needed to be on guard against Jiang Fenhua all the time if she wanted to protect Zhou Ming from that snake!

” Jiang Fenhua!” As soon as she walked inside Jiang Fenhua’s pavilion she slid open the door to his room with a loud bang and shouted as if she was attacking her enemy.

” What is it?” said Jiang Fenhua dryly without even looking in the direction of Qiao Sha he kept combing his hair and never once turned his head towards Qiao Sha. ” Why are you shouting like that? You nearly jolted me, what would you have done if I had received a shock and hurt my belly?”

Qiao Sha breathed in and out as she stared at Jiang Fenhua and calmed herself slightly, this mer might be a snake but the child was innocent. Though she despised the child with every bone in her body, she still didn’t want it to die…no matter whose womb it was in, half of that child’s blood was hers.

She lowered her voice and looked at Jiang Fenhua before whispering, ” Why did you go to that bar? What is going on in that nasty head of yours? I am telling you don’t you try pulling your dirty tricks on Yu Dong, she already has enough to take care of and can’t take care of your mess if you dare seduce her, I ——-“

” What will you do?” Jiang Fenhua calmly set the comb down and turned to look at Qiao Sha. “Even if I seduce, Miss Yu, what is it to you? I mean you have never cared about what I do till now, so why start now?”

” I am your wife, how can you even say those disgusting words in front of me!”

” So, you remember you are my wife?” chuckled Jiang Fenhua mockingly as he got to his feet and looked at Qiao Sha in contempt. ” Funnily enough when it concerns you, all of a sudden you will remember that I am your husband but when I need you, you don’t even realise that you have another husband? Last week when I was attacked by your enemies, where were you? I did not see you coming to see me then but now all of sudden since it’s your pride that we are talking about you came barging into my room like you have every right to? Who gave you the right?”
