917 Sleep with another woman —-2?
---------------
" Yu Dong clearly does not care whether you are useful or not," Xiao Hua glanced at Chen Mi who was once again stunned into speechlessness. He tucked a strand of his lock behind his hair and looked at Chen Mi before saying in a condescending voice, " I hate to tell you that just because she is marrying me because she likes me doesn't make you any less important to her. You will still be her third husband and the father of her child, so stop getting all sappy and insecure."
As he spoke, he crouched down and then took out a handkerchief before putting it against Chen Mi's nose and said, " Blow."
Chen Mi was so stumped by Xiao Hua's actions that he instinctively blew into his handkerchief causing Xiao Hua to scrunch his brows up in disgust.
" You might think that I am here to snatch Yu Dong's attention but I am not going to do that," Xiao Hua straightened up and then threw the handkerchief in the trash can as he looked at Chen Mi. " I am only going to take what is mine and not bother with anything else, you can rest assured. I have no interest in fighting for favour, this is not an imperial palace and that woman is not an empress."
He flicked the lock of his hair aside and then snorted, " Even if she doesn't give me any attention I will be fine you know why?"
" Why?" Chen Mi asked as he looked at Xiao Hua in a daze.
" Heh, because I will make her pay," Xiao Hua sneered before spitting out coldly. " She was the one who married me, so I have the right to get her attention and time, if she refuses then I will beat her up. Why do I need to fight with you all for my share of attention? It is not your fault that we are married to the same woman, the one who is at fault is her, so why will I bother you? I will take what she will give me and not fight with you …but I will not let her hand out what's mine is to you similarly you don't need to hand what's yours is to me."
" But what if …what if she pays more attention to you than me?" Chen Mi asked the question which was weighing on his heart forever since he found out that Yu Dong was with Xiao Hua.
Xiao Hua simply looked at him and then replied in a casual manner, " Then it means that you and I put our trust in the wrong woman from the start. Remember one thing Chen Mi because I will not say this again, I am only here to join your family and not fight with you all, if there are fights then it's never been from my side. Since I will not ruin my peace for a woman because that's not worth it. No matter how much I love her—— I will love myself the most, maybe you should try that as well, start putting yourself first rather than your wife. "
With that, he turned on his heels and walked out of the room leaving a very stunned group of mers behind. Why was it that compared to them Xiao Hua was this clear on so many things?
Maybe it was because no one told them that it was fine to love themselves more than their wife.
Yu Dong heaved a breath of relief as she turned to look at Xiao Hua who was walking out of Chen Mi's room, of course, she heard what he just said to Chen Mi but did not say anything.
As Xiao Hua was heading out, he turned to look at Yu Dong and asked, " Do you think I am selfish?"
" No," Yu Dong smiled and answered since she was not fair to these mers, she will not ask them to be fair to her either. Even if they were to tell her that they no longer loved her and wanted to go to someone else, maybe she might let them leave her. " I will never ask you to put me as your priority, you are right as a human, your first priority should be always you, Ah Hua."
" Glad that you are smart enough to know that," Xiao Hua flicked his locks and then walked out of the house. " I will tell you just in case you are not allowed to mistreat anyone, if you do then I will divorce you in a jiffy. Don't think I will not leave."
" I got it," Yu Dong nodded as she agreed with Xiao Hua who stormed out of the house and then turned to look at Chen Mi's room before sighing and getting up to go back to her room. She knew that now that Chen Mi was calm he was going to come and find her soon.
…
Just as she expected Chen Mi did come to find her that night, as soon as Yu Dong saw him, she opened her arms and allowed the mer to bury himself in his embrace like a koala.
"It's fine, you don't have to apologize," she patted him on the back as she felt a wet patch on her clothes but did not say anything to Chen Mi.
" Do you think that I am annoying," he asked.
" No, I would find you heartless if you were calm though. I like it when you get jealous of me. Makes me feel satisfied," Yu Dong teased Chen Mi who pinched her on the waist and then said, " I am being serious."
" Of course, I don't find you annoying," replied Yu Dong in full seriousness.
Only then did Chen Mi stop shaking and then raised his head and looked at Yu Dong who was staring down at him and then while twiddling with his fingers he said, " I … Xiao Hua said something that got stuck in my head…."
" About loving yourself before anyone else?" Yu Dong questioned which caused Chen Mi to look at her in surprise, seeing him stunned like this, she smiled and then politely said, " He is right, I have always told you to not make me the centre of your world, Mi. The world is a big place, you don't have to stay next to me all the time thinking that you only belong to my side—— love yourself first, take care of yourself first and pamper yourself as much as you want, you don't have to spend all day thinking what you should do for me, start thinking what you want to do for yourself. Alright?"
" Even if I were to say that I want to sleep with another woman, will you agree with that as well?" The mer cheekily questioned knowing that it will push Yu Dong's button but what he did not expect was for Yu Dong to pinch his cheeks and say,
" I have nothing against it but can you take two women? By the way, who is the other woman? Do I know her?"
" You…You are such a pervert!"
