Chapter 416 Like a sister.
It wasn’t until his fingers hit the end of the box, did Jiang Fenhua realise that he has finished the entire box in just a few bites. He blinked, looking a bit surprised —— did he really eat everything in just a few minutes? How embarrassing!He put his hand away and then looked at Yu Dong with a slightly red face as he embarrassingly said, ” I am really sorry about this, it was just so good.” He didn’t know what to say, even though he wasn’t favoured by Qiao Sha it wasn’t like she starved him to death, with the Old madam on his side, he will get whatever he wanted to eat without even trying to beg for it. He just needed to mention to his cook what he wanted, and the latter would prepare it without even saying a single word, and yet here he was eating these fruits like he hasn’t eaten for months!
”It’s all right,” said Yu Dong with a smile, she pushed the blueberry packet towards Jiang Fenhua. ” I brought these boxes for you, if you like it you can eat as much as you want, I also have a few boxes in the kitchen, if you like the berries then you can take as many boxes as you want with you.”
” No, I ….” This was the first time Jiang Fenhua was being treated with so much attention, that he felt like there was a shortage of words in his mind. ” I don’t want to trouble you, Miss Yu. There is no need for you two to gift me the boxes of these berries, I am not … my house is not that worth. I mean it’s nice but it’s old and you will have to do another renovation in the house if you want to use it as a shop.”
Yu Dong paused before she jumped to the last part of Jiang Fenhua’s sentence and said, ” Are you willing to sell the house to me?” If Jiang Fenhua was willing to sell the house to her then she wouldn’t have to worry about anything.
Jiang Fenhua paused as he nodded slightly. ” I can see that the business idea that you have in mind is really good and that house is empty anyway, so I don’t see why but I have a small condition.”
” A condition?” mused Yu Dong, her brows scrunched up as she looked at Jiang Fenhua. Though she knew that the mer in front of her was a good mer but what if her intuition was wrong? Then what? But she still suppressed her bad thoughts and looked at Jiang Fenhua before saying, ” What kind of condition, Master Jiang?”
” You don’t have to worry about it so much,” said Jiang Fenhua, he was used to people looking at him with a suspicious gaze, after all his fame of climbing up Qiao Sha’s bed was something that wasn’t hidden from others, thus, he was very used to seeing that gaze with which Yu Dong was looking at him. “It’s just a small condition.”
Yu Dong nodded as she mentally prepared herself to listen to what condition Jiang Fenhua was going to put in front of her.
” I want you to leave a small room for my use in that house,” said Jiang Fenhua with a determined gaze as he looked at Yu Dong. ” Just a small space where I can hide when I want to, do you agree with it?”
Her brows scrunched up as she looked at Jiang Fenhua. ” You want a room to yourself even after selling the house to me?”
Jiang Fenhua nodded but then shook his head. ” I mean, I will sell you the house except for just one room.” He paused and then took in a breath before he continued, ” Lady Song must have told you already that the house belongs to my father, he was the one who left the house to me as my dowry after he died, that’s the only thing that I was able to take with me since no one was able to snatch it from me. The house doesn’t hold that many memories for me but that one room is the one where I spent most of my time with my daddy and that’s the one spot where I like to spend my time when I am too tired of putting up with everything. If you want the house, you can have it … but leave that room as it is, that’s all I want.”
” If that house means so much to you then you don’t have to sell it to me,” said Yu Dong with a little bit of hesitancy after she was done thinking about it. ” I mean you can just leave it as it is, it’s not like you have to sell it to me no matter what.”
” I know,” said Jiang Fenhua with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes. ” I too know that I can leave that house as it is but I have a very selfish motive behind selling that house to you, Miss Yu.” He placed his hands on his abdomen and added, ” I have been very cautious, so cautious that you can say that I even take a breath after much consideration, but I am in the end just a helpless mer who has no support in the family he was married to, and my family well, they too don’t want to be with me. With my identity, I am afraid that I might not be able to keep this child.”
” Master Jiang——”
Jiang Fenhua raised his hand in the air as he sternly said, ” I am sorry, Miss Yu. I know that I am saying something unexpected that’s going to burden you but this is the truth, with Qiao Sha’s identity, a lot of enemies of hers have eyes on this baby. And it’s his misfortune that his mother doesn’t care about him the slightest bit, maybe he was born through Master Zhou’s belly then maybe he will have been able to get a proper life but he is unlucky, he got me as his daddy. I am afraid that with my due date so close the attack will happen sooner or later, if I lose my child, I am afraid that I will never want to see Qiao Sha’s face, then I hope you will take me in and give me space in your shop like a sister would give to his brother, that’s all I want.”
