As soon as those words fell, not only Liu Changnu but also Ji Shixun who chased after the two of them was stunned.
The woman with whom Ji Chuan was meeting at night was Yu Tong!?
Ji Shixun was shocked. He thought that Ji Chuan was having a frivolous rendezvous like him but it turned out that he was actually meeting with the famous Yu Tong!
And of course, Ji Shixun knew who Yu Tong was, in fact hardly anyone in town wouldn’t know of her.
How could they not, when Yu Dong was literally a well-known celebrity in the town?
Ji Shixun had once seen Yu Tong from far —— she was a beautiful woman. Even though she was not as good looking as her heroic-looking sister, Yu Dong. She was indeed good-looking with her slightly tanned skin and lean but muscular body.
He had found her attractive back then but he knew that there was no way he would ever get a chance to get close to someone like her.
Who would have thought that he would actually push Ji Chuan to Yu Tong’s bed?
Ji Shixun suddenly felt as if he had eaten a fly. How could it be her? How in the world did Ji Chuan even get to know Yu Tong!?
Earlier he was laughing at Ji Chuan, as he thought that the mer was going to get married to a villager but now he could no longer summon that kind of energy. Explore new worlds at Freewebnovel
How could he when he knew that he had caused Ji Chuan to hit a jackpot?
Ji Shixun was really upset. He had been anticipating watching Ji Chuan sitting in the middle of a dirty mud field with his clothes and jade-like hands covered in mud.

With his wife being a farmer, Ji Chuan was bound to lose his beauty as well as his elegance and pride. This was something that Ji Shixun wanted to see no matter what!
Now, he was being told that Ji Chuan was with Yu Tong and he was going to marry that woman.
"How could this be possible? How did this happen? Why did no one say anything to me?" Ji Shixun mumbled under his breath, his voice was filled with disbelief.
He was standing behind a large, gnarled tree on the side of the path, while Ji Chuan and Liu Changnu were far from him but not far enough for him to miss what they were saying.
"You…you are lying! How can they even accept you?" Liu Changnu could not believe that someone like Yu Dong was willing to let her sister marry an abandoned mer like Ji Chuan.
Earlier she thought and believed that even if she was picking and dropping Ji Chuan as she liked, Ji Chuan had no other choice but to go along with her.
As he was an abandoned mer and had no other choice.
Ji Chuan sneered coldly and said, "Why? Do you think that everyone is like you, Miss Liu? Madam Yu has the vision and her sister is not lacking either."
"I heard that for the sake of marrying the mer whom she loved, Miss Tong went as far as jumping down the cliff. That mer was pregnant and carried the child of another woman but Miss Tong was still willing to marry him."
"That was the limit of her love for that mer and you? I only asked you the right to open a small business and as mers are allowed to open a business under the names of their wives, all you needed was to say a simple yes."
Ji Chuan scoffed and flicked his sleeves, "I submitted my heart, soul and dreams to you and the only thing that you have given me in return is nothing but betrayal and tears."
"Chuan’er——"
"Stop," Ji Chuan raised his hand and interrupted Liu Changnu, "Don’t use that voice on me. You’ve broken the engagement with me, remember? Now call Ji Shixun with that soft voice. He is your fiance."
After speaking Ji Chuan turned on his feet and walked away leaving Liu Changnu alone. The woman was staring at Ji Chuan with a longing expression.
When Ji Shixun saw Liu Changnu look at Ji Chuan with that gaze, he was hopping mad. All the schemes and plans, yet everything fell apart.
Ji Shixun brought his thumb to his lips and started nibbling on his thumbnail.
"This won’t do, no this won’t do."
While the Ji family was boiling like water in a pan, everyone else in the town was enjoying the gossip including the villagers at the Big River Village.
"Do you know?"
"I heard it, hahaha, I heard it. Those officials always look down on us, and look at what their children do?"
"Compared to those young masters, my sons are way better."
"Aiya, isn’t that right."
Shen Li heard the gossip of the workers who were making popsicles and chopping the seasonal fruits for the ice cream that Yu Dong was going to launch this weekend.
Some of them were churning strawberries to make strawberry-flavoured yoghurt.
He sighed and walked inside the house, only to see his wife handing a bunch of blueberry seeds to their sons.
"Dong Dong!"Shen Li strode inside the room and kicked Yu Dong on the bottom. "How many times have I told you not to use our sons like free labourers!?"
The two boys giggled when they saw their mother fall.
"Oww, you are being unreasonable Li. I am just trying to keep them protected," Yu Dong said to Shen Li only for the mer to roll his eyes.
"I think you are just treating them as free slaves," Shen Li mumbled as he walked closer to the cot and picked up his eldest in his arms. "You come to them every day and make them grow all sorts of things."
"But I don’t see you taking them out to play."
"I did try," Yu Dong said with a deadpan expression. "But you said and I quote—— ’you are always getting in one trouble or another, stay away from my sons.’ I am yet to forgive you for that."
"They are in this world because of me! I have the right to take them out."
"I gave birth to them!"
"Not without me!"
