Guide to raise my cutie husbands

Chapter 898: No longer favourite ——-2

Yu Dong was speechless. In the beginning, she was a bit confused and doubtful but now she was certain that this mer was a reincarnation of a hungry ghost but before she could say anything, she heard the mer say pitifully,     

” I apologise but I haven’t eaten anything for three weeks. I and my wife are small merchants and we were going back home but then we met with bandits and ended up separating, I was literally starved to the point where I thought I was going to die,” as he spoke he somehow managed to squeeze a few teardrops in front of Shen Li who was touched by the mer’s story as he nodded and then said,     

” There are no worries, we have enough. Just fill your stomach.”      

To think that this pitiful mer was starving for three weeks, as someone who knew what kind of devil hunger was Shen Li very much understood what the mer was feeling which was why he nodded and agreed to bring some warm porridge for the mer.      

Yu Dong knew that this mer was a scammer instead narrowed her eyes and asked, ” How come you have two great wolves if you are just a merchant ?”      nov𝔢𝑙𝒰𝓈𝑏/𝚌/o/𝐦

She did not believe a thing which was coming out of his mouth which was why she narrowed her eyes and looked at the mer who blinked his eyes and then softly said, ” I am speaking the truth. I am just a small merchant and these wolves were saved by my wife. As merchants we have to travel from one place to another which is why they follow us for protection nothing more.”      

Nothing more? This mer was casually carrying two big wolves together with him and then he had the audacity to say that he was just bringing them around for protection. He had to be kidding her.     

Yu Dong wanted to curse the mer but she held back when she thought that there were kids sitting next to her. Instead of saying anything she turned to look at the mer and suspiciously asked, “What’s your name?”      

” My name is Yun Xuan,” the mer replied with a smile as he turned to look at Yu Dong with his sly fox-like eyes. ” You can call me Xuan Xuan, or little Xuan. I am not against any.”      

” No thanks, I will call you Mister Yun,” Yu Dong’s brows twitched as she looked at the mer in front of her, she was half suspecting that this mer had something that he was hiding which was why she did not plan to get chummy with him.      

She took a deep breath and then stated in a firm voice, ” Mister Yun, I am glad that you are awake. I was thinking of sending you to Marquis Qiao’s manor or maybe Magistrate Li’s, as you can see that our village is currently buried in snow and we have no way out of this bunker. Though we will start digging and cleaning the snow together, this is not a place for an injured person like you to stay, so why don’t you——”     

” I do not mind, Miss Yu,” Yun Xuan waved his hand as he spoke with a sneaky smile, he seemed to be loving the fact that he could get on Yu Dong’s nerved without even trying. ” I am an injured person like you said and I think that being in an environment where one finds safety and security is more important than anything which is why I will be staying here, I hope you will not mind?”      

Yu Dong did not know what to say anymore, she had a nagging feeling when she saved this mer that this mer was not going to leave her easily and somehow her nagging feeling ended up coming true!     

What are you? Are you the sticky ghost from the graveyard or what? Why are you insisting on staying here?     

She wanted to send this devil whom she brought with her own hands away as soon as possible but then she heard the growling of the two wolves and turned to look at the two beasts who were looking at the livestock whom they had brought inside the bunker and asked them to stay in a corner and felt her brows twitches as Yu Dong turned and said to Yun Xuan,     

” These animals cannot be eaten ask your wolves to go and look for something else.”      

” Sure,” having done teasing Yu Dong enough, Yun Xuan turned to his wolves and said, ” Xi, Xian go and hunt. Don’t eye those animals, got it?”      

Though the wolves were hungry they still nodded their heads and turned to leave as Yun Xuan turned to look at Yu Dong and said in a low voice, “There you go, Miss Yu. Are you happy now?”      

‘ I will be happy if you leave my village,’ Yu Dong thought in her head but she did not say anything as she turned around with a huff just in time for Shen Li to return with two bowls of porridge.      

And of course, she noticed that the latter had brought Yun Xuan a bowl which was much bigger than hers.      

” Li, I am hungry as well…” Yu Dong looked at the pitiful amount of porridge in the bowl and turned to look at Shen Li who sighed and then said,     

” Dong Dong, I want to cook as well but dawn is soon going to break, wait for a little while. I will go and cook with the rest and then you can eat as much as you want… it will be impolite if we were to eat now.”      

They were living in the bunker with the rest of the villagers which was why they needed to think of others as well. This was the reason that Shen Li did not cook and only brought the leftovers.     

” You could have at least shared it evenly,” Yu Dong muttered as she looked at the mer who was happily gobbling the porridge and then heard Shen Li say,     

” How can you compete with a mer who stayed hungry for three weeks along with getting poisoned?”         

Almost at once Yu Dong realised that her honeymoon period with these mers had come to an end, she was no longer their favourite.
