Chapter 227 - An Enigma
Chapter 227 – An Enigma
Yu Dong was an enigma who usually don’t try to get entangle herself with mers, so it was a rare sight for Fang Chi to see her standing next to him and fighting with mers when she has always treated them with respect. Clearly, she was furious beyond her limits.
” Your family kicked an old woman out when she was the one who raised your parents just because she was trying to protect her grandson. If I were you, I really don’t think I would be questioning someone else when I have so many skeletons in my closet” the look on Yu Dong’s face was frighteningly cold as she looked at Fang Nan and Fang Hao. ” Your family feels ashamed to have a son of a sex slave in their house but I don’t see them getting embarrassed just or guilty, after kicking the woman who raised them for a good deal of their life. And why should my fiancé be the one getting judged? Just because he was born from a mer who was once sold off as a sex slave? Just because of this?” Her gaze turned another degree cold as she glowered at Fang Hao and Fang Nan ” Why should he be embarrassed about his origins? It’s not like his daddy sold himself willingly? It was the circumstances that forced him to do that -and even if he willingly sold himself who are you to judge him?”
After finishing off the piece that she wanted to say, Yu Dong turned to the manager of the shop and glared at her ” Madam Li, I came here because your services are excellent but if my fiancé is hurt and humiliated in your shop then it is simply unacceptable to me. You better deal with them properly or else, your shop is not the only one here in the town”
Once she was done, she simply grabbed Fang Chi’s wrist and pulled him out of the shop.
As Fang Chi saw the manager of the shop ordering the security to drag Fang Hao and Fang Nan out of the shop and Yu Dong’s cool and tough expression, he had no intention of coming forward and easing the situation.
He didn’t even look at the hateful expressions of his cousins and all his attention was on Yu Dong. Right at this moment, he could feel the heat building at the tip of his nose and his tears followed, blurring his vision.
Ever since he was a kid, he has always hidden his daddy’s origins-it was like a stain that he wanted to wash off but couldn’t because no one would let him. No matter how hard he tried he remained the stain of the Fang family and when he was kicked out of his family he even thought that there was nothing wrong with what they were doing, if possible he too would have tried to keep that stain on his background away, he loved his daddy but he was ashamed of him.
So ashamed, that he hardly mentioned him. He thought that what he was doing was right. That it was better to forget because everyone would just make fun of him, this was the first time that someone stood up for him after finding out the dirty truth about his birth.
Yu Dong could hear the silent cries of Fang Chi but she didn’t bother stopping them because no matter what she did now, wouldn’t work anyway. He was startled and triggered like this what can she even do right now? It was better to let him calm down before saying anything to him.
” Who does he think he is!” Fang Hao who was kicked out of the shop had a disgustedly mocking look, he wiped his hands on his pants and spat on the ground ” That guy, just because he hooked with a rich woman he dares to act like this towards us, just wait until I tell my daddy what he did to me. I will see how long he will have that smug look! Pei! What’s so good about having a woman who already has three husbands and a child?”
Through Fang Hao said that his voice was full of bitterness, just like Fang Nan, he found Fang Chi’s fiancée really beautiful but it was just such a shame that such a beautiful woman was being wasted on a mer like him.
Fang Nan didn’t say a thing while Fang Hao was cursing Fang Chi but he didn’t look away from Yu Dong’s sturdy back that was getting further and further away. He had never felt his heart thud so violently before. Throughout the time, while Yu Dong was protecting Fang Chi, his attention was on and he couldn’t help but imagine himself in her arms.
A feeling like that, he wanted to enjoy that too. His eyes zeroed on Yu Dong just as a thought flashed in his mind ‘ I want her’.
——————-
” And some milk pudding too” After leaving the shopping district with Fang Chi, Yu Dong brought him to a restaurant. After all, there was no way that they can shop for their wedding with him being a sobbing wreck. And because it was getting close to lunchtime anyway, so she brought him to eat with her.
Anyway, the male friends she had in the modern world often said that they cheered up their girlfriends by taking them out to dinner. They often joked about how ‘ the way to a man’s heart was through his stomach,’ didn’t just apply to men alone.
Thus, she thought of this plan. After all what else was she supposed to do? Saying anything will only work against her right now. And this matter was rather delicate, she would rather wait for Fang Chi to talk about it of his own free will, rather than question him about it.
Fang Chi who was finally calmed down a little was waiting for Yu Dong to ask him about his daddy but to his surprise, she didn’t even breach on the subject instead she simply sat in front of him peacefully discussing about how she was looking forward to eating the braised venison for which the restaurant was famous for, he waited for quite sometime when she didn’t ask him anything he couldn’t help but ask ” Why don’t you ask me about it?”
Yu Dong who was trying her best to look for some other topic than to discuss Fang Chi’s daddy paused slightly and then placed the teacup from which she was drinking and smilingly said ” because it doesn’t matter.”
