Chapter 535: Our kids
Yu Dong blinked her eyes and then looked at the angry Xiao Hua before looking down at the caramelised sweet potatoes bowl and stretched her hands to take it but Xiao Hua didn't let her have it, instead, he snatched it back and placed it on the cabinet of his bed before saying in a sullen voice, " Don't eat it now, this doesn't taste good after it turns cold. It's all soggy and mushy, only when it's crunchy with the hot caramelised sugar does it taste well."
"It's all right, I will eat it…" she tried to get her hands on the bowl again but only got a slap on the back of her hand in return, surprised she raised her head and looked at Xiao Hua who was glaring down at her as he snapped his teeth and placed the sweet potatoes even far away from her. " Do you want to get sick? It's already so cold and you want to eat food without heating it up? I will have Xiao Zimo heat it and make it crisp at night, after that I will make some for you tomorrow… of course, that is if you don't forget to meet me."
" I don't think I will get sick from just this," she replied with a small smile as she got up from the bed and crouched in front of Xiao Hua, she knew that he was quite upset with all the lack of attention and hiding their relationship. Of course, she too wanted to tell everyone that she loved this mer but, she also knew that if she was to tell them now then she will surely lose a layer of skin. So, she might as well make them happy and busy enough to drop the idea of beating her until she loses her skin.
And given how sensitive Fang Chi was, it was better for her to wait until he gives birth and recovers properly in case he was to get too shocked by the news of her falling for another mer.
" I just don't want you to eat something cold," said Xiao Hua with an upset expression. " This was the first thing I cooked for you and I want it to taste good, that is why you might as well take it as if you can't see it."
To Yu Dong it did not matter but seeing just how much it mattered to Xiao Hua, she could only helplessly agree with him. After all, she knew better than anyone that he was a literal perfectionist, the last time when she asked him to go on a date with her Xiao Hua was clearly very excited but then he got a pimple just a day before their date and for the sake of looking perfect he cancelled the date altogether.
She wished that he would learn to be flexible sometimes but she also knew that Xiao Hua had his own scars that he did not want to share with anyone just yet… it will take a bit more time but she knew that he will get better and even if he didn't, she will love him nonetheless.
" I see then I will definitely come here tomorrow on time," Yu Dong raised her hand and poked out her pinky, seeing her childish acts Xiao Hua's lips twitched as he hooked his own pinky with hers. " We will see, as far as I know, you have always broken your promises."
Yu Dong could only laugh because Xiao Hua was indeed right, since her strawberry and blueberry business was going to start soon, she has been ignoring Xiao Hua. Because she and Fang Chi lived together, it did not feel like they have been staying away from each other.
Xiao Hua on the other hand stayed at his home throughout the entire day and could hardly leave his house under the threat of the stalker, she promised that she would come and see him at night but every night she would get worried about Fang Chi who would wake up to vomit due to his morning sickness.
In the end, it could be said that even though they have been lovers for quite some time, they have hardly spent any alone time together.
" Forgive me," she took his hands in hers and lay her hand in his lap, " I will try to be as close to you as I can in the next few days… it's just that I worry too much and I have a lot of things to care about, sometimes I just get lost… but don't worry, I love you just as much as you do."
Xiao Hua sighed, he really couldn't ignore her when she started to act like a baby. He took his hands away from her and started to skim his fingers through her hair, it was surprising that even with her lack of personal care, her hair was this silky and smooth while he has to do a hell lot of home remedies to make sure that his hair stayed free of split ends.
So envious.
" Are you still jealous of my hair?" Yu Dong knew Xiao Hua well enough to know what was going on in his head, every time he ran his fingers in her hair, he would often complain about how the gods were unfair.
" Humph, who says I am envious…even if I wasn't born with these things I am sure as long as I work hard our child will be born with the best of our features," Xiao Hua was not the shy Shen Li or the hot and cold Ye Liu who didn't know how to say what was on his mind, he was a man who would say what was in his heart without so much as thinking about it.
He glared down at Yu Dong who raised her head in surprise and then cupped her face with his hands. " I have to make sure that our kids get your nose and my small mouth, as for eyes as much as I love yours, I think my eye shape is much better and we have to make it so that our kids will have your hair, that way I will not have to worry about them at all, with their beauty alone they will be able to conquer anyone."
