Chapter 188 - Hug

"Dong Dong." Shen Li who was standing beside Yu Dong strode forward he glanced at Xiao Hua then turned to look at Yu Dong. 

"Aunt Yun's daughter became an official a month before, previously she left her family behind in the village in case she couldn't find a decent house in the capital but after a Month of search she seemed to have properly settled down and have called Aunt Yun and her family to live with her in the capital. I heard that Aunt Yun is looking for a buyer for her house it's big and spacey. I think it will better for us to take a look at that house and buy it too with brother Hanjing being pregnant. I don't think it's alright for him to live here when there is no one to protect him. I think it will be best for us to keep these Mers close to us just in case."

Yu Dong pondered over Shen Li's suggestion it was indeed a problem for them to buy a house after buying a shop in the town but Shen Li was right they couldn't just leave Li Hanjing behind and if he were to stay with her. 

She was afraid that she will have to take responsibility for him too.. Not only will it be a pain in the ass but Yu Tong that annoying piece of gum was also interested in Li Hanjing… 

She really didnt want to find trouble with that troublesome fool. So it was quite alright for them to look for a house and settle the remaining ten Mers together in there. 

At least it will be better than leaving a pregnant Mer behind with a bunch of sissy looking Mers and an old couple who didn't look like they can take on anything or anyone.

Thus Yu Dong once again called the Mers outside than selected the ones who were less popular in the tavern to be left behind in the inn while she took the some who were the most beautiful and flamboyant… and most importantly the most likely to invite trouble for her.. 

After she was done she looked at the ten or so Mers who were selected to come with her and only had one thought in her head 'They were too shiny' not just in their personality but also the way they dressed.. their clothes were shiny, their jewellery shiny … even their nails were polished until they glimmered like a mirror in the sun. Her eyes hurt by just watching them.

"Chen Mi -come here." said Yu Dong to Chen Mi who was standing beside her blinked but then shuffled forward. "Yes what it is?"

He was confused as to why Yu Dong had called him but then Yu Dong raised her hand and ruffled his hair. "Eh what are you doing?" Exclaimed Chen Mi because Yu Dong was ruffling his hairstyle but - when he peeked at her face and saw that relaxed smile he couldn't stop her.

'Jeez she was such a cheater' He muttered inwardly but let Yu Dong ruffled up his carefully made hairstyle into a birds nest.

Yu Dong soothed her eyes and nerves with Chen Mi's homey and comfy look that eased her heart and calmed her throbbing headache. 

She never liked those strong smelly perfumes it made her headache and unfortunately every Mer in the tavern was wearing a strong scent of his- even if it was lightly applied when mixed together she felt her temple throb. 

She looked at the little ruffled chick Chen Mi who stared at her with those large apricot eyes and felt her heart squeeze. "This isn't enough." She said.

"Eh? What isn't?" Asked Chen Mi but then his question was answered almost immediately as Yu Dong squeezed him in her arms.

"hagsysgmsmsg??" Exclaimed Xiao Hua his face burning as he covered his eyes and did the same to Li Hanjing. "You …you pervert!"

Yu Dong simply rocked the stiff and blushing Chen Mi in her arms and simply glanced at him. "What do you mean pervert? I am hugging my husband not someone else."

"But why are you hugging him? That too here in public?"

"I am tired." said Yu Dong simply "I hug my husbands when I am tired you have something to say about it?"

"…." 

There was of course Xiao Hua who couldn't say anything to Yu Dong, she was hugging her husband… 

It was a reasonable thing to do but he didn't know why he felt as if his chest was filled with cotton. He gripped his handkerchief and looked down on his feet. What was this feeling?

Li Hanjing looked at Xiao Hua's sullen expression and sighed he hadn't forgotten that this stupid boy was too slow to understand his own feelings. 

He was afraid that by the time Xiao Hua realizes what he feels towards Yu Dong it will be too late for him.

Chen Mi didn't know what was going on with the others. He just felt really happy as if his heart was bursting with warmth. His wife hugged him because she was tired doesn't that means that she liked him? 

Well, Yu Dong did like her husbands- though she hardly showed her feelings but she was someone whose brain worked in a rather straightforward manner, she wouldn't have slept with Chen Mi or anyone else for the matter if she didn't like them.

Hugging her little ball of sunshine Yu Dong felt her heart heal. That's right. This was how a Mer should be what's with that sissy getup? Her husbands were the best!

Shen Li who was standing beside her silently coughed he wanted to remind her to let go of Chen Mi but then Yu Dong looked at him and smiled. "You want a hug too?"

"That -" he began but then Yu Dong had already hugged him. Shen Li stiffened slightly but then relaxed actually -he might be shy but he wasn't stupid. 

If his wife was giving free hugs then he will take them. So he hugged her back. 

Seeing that both Chen Mi and Shen Li were given hugs - Ye Liu didn't want to be left behind too. He raised his arms and spoke in a somewhat tsundere manner. "If you are tired then you can hug me too."

His voice was stiff as if he wasn't doing it because he wanted to but when Yu Dong hugged him- his blush was the brightest.

"Hua Hua leave your handkerchief it can't be torn anymore." Deadpanned Li Hanjing.

Behind him Xiao Hua gritted his teeth and ripped what remained of his handkerchief. "I am just hungry!"

'Sure you are..' thought Li Hanjing.
