Guide to raise my cutie husbands

Chapter 549: A douchebag

” Are you okay?” Xiao Zimo asked when he saw Yu Dong groaning on the counter of the common kitchen, he was here to make breakfast for everyone including the ones in a shelter when he noticed Yu Dong trudge inside the kitchen with a heavy look on her face. ” Is something the matter with you?         

    

Something was indeed the matter with Yu Dong, today she was half prepared to come out and tell her husbands about her and Xiao Hua but then Chen Mi got angry and she swallowed what she wanted back. Call her a coward but she knew Chen Mi too well, when he was angry it was better to not hand him another target or else he would take his anger on the next target.      

If she had told them about Xiao Hua, then she was half certain that it would have been her whom Chen Mi would have chased with a knife in his hand and since she did not want to give a free show to the people who were living under the shelter, she decided that it was better for her to stay put.      

How was she supposed to tell Chen Mi when he was angry like a bull that she wanted to bring another husband? Her youngest husband was like a firecracker, easy to blow up, he wouldn’t have let her off easily.      

Yu Dong raised her head and took a look at Xiao Zimo, these days the two of them have become each other consultants well at least sort of, so she heaved a breath and said, “It’s like this…” she explained to him the entire thing that happened today before finishing up her small speech. ” I am a jerk and I know it, you don’t have to tell me.”      

She knew better than anyone that she was not only acting like a coward but also a classic douchebag.      

” Well as long as you know,” said Xiao Zimo as he poured the rice into the boiling water. “It’s fine as long as you have the heart to marry brother Hua but if you break his heart then…” Xiao Zimo picked up the knife from the counter and smiled threateningly at Yu Dong. ” I know how to use the knife very well now. All thanks to you.”     

” So you are going to use it on your master?” asked Yu Dong looking at him speechlessly.      

Xiao Zimo only smiled and said, ” I have made you proud haven’t I master?”     

Yu Dong pouted and grumbled, ” You don’t have to be like this, I might have gotten cold feet today but I am not a jerk. I will not break Xiao Hua’s heart, since I have promised him that I will marry him then I will marry him no matter what.”      

Xiao Zimo glared at her as he said, ” You better keep that promise, brother Hua has always been wary of women. This is the first time I am seeing him get close to women and that too so happily, in case you hurt him then he might as well get traumatised by all women, you understand? Don’t break up with him and don’t make him upset.”      

Yu Dong honestly accepted her mistake. ” I know, I know… I know that I was wrong this time, the next time I will make sure that I wouldn’t get cold feet.”      

” Well, that’s better,” said Xiao Zimo as he ladled a bit of porridge from the small pot and carefully added some boiled crab meat over the top. Yu Dong has given a barrel full of crabs to the common kitchen after teaching everyone in the families living with her how to cook crabs, Xiao Zimo who has been quite fascinated by the sight of the crabs was willing to take a risk and use the things in his cooking which was why he used it to make porridge for all the mers in the treehouse.      

As for the ones in the shelter, their porridge was as watery as possible. After all, they have already saved their lives and it was good enough that they weren’t starving them if they wanted to eat meat then it would be better for them to go ahead and hunt some game in the forest.      

” Here you go,” he placed the bowl of porridge on a tray and pushed it towards Yu Dong. ” Brother Hua is awake and he must be in his room since you feel bad to go and talk to him, this way both of you will feel good. So stop badgering me now.”      

Yu Dong picked up the tray as she was pushed out of the common kitchen, she was a bit upset that their small friendship that was yet to be strengthened fell so quickly but she still walked towards the tree house at the end of the platform where Xiao Hua and the other mers lived.      

Just like always, she walked to the window of Xiao Hua’s room but she was surprised to see that the window was closed, Yu Dong blinked her eyes. As far as her understanding of Xiao Hua went, she knew that he would open the window first thing in the morning, so why was his window closed today?      

She had no choice but to walk around the treehouse and knock on Li Hanjing’s window, the reason she was worried to walk through the front door was that the other mers will gossip about her and Xiao Hua. Even if they were to harmlessly gossip about her and Xiao Hua, it would become troublesome even then because it didn’t take long for a harmless gossip to become rumours.      

Since Yu Dong didn’t want rumours about her and Xiao Hua to spread before he married her, she was trying her best to keep her meeting with Xiao Hua as private as possible.      

Li Hanjing was embroidering on a small piece of cloth that he intended to use as a table clothe when he heard someone knock on the window, last night the rain was falling too hard that was why he closed the window seeing that someone was knocking on the window, he got up from the chair and then pushed the window open. “Dong Dong? What are you doing here?”
