Chapter 267 Wedding- feeling lost. Part 2
Little bun might be naughty at home but when faced with a stranger, he immediately turned as quiet as a quail and hid in his daddy's arms. Who was this? Why was she asking for bun bun? He didn't even know her! What was this? At least bring him a milk pudding and introduce herself to him before taking the matter so far as to take him in her arms. But no matter how much he wriggled here and wriggled there, in the end, he was in Chen Mi's arms when Chen Mi peeled him off and handed him to grandma Yu, little bun could do nothing except stare at his daddy with an expression that said - ' how could you betray me like this?' If little bun could speak properly he would have written a poem on betrayal with his limited range of words.
He wanted to fight but then two warm hands took him and he was mushed in a cosy hug that was even more comfortable than his daddy and mother's. Little bun who was reluctant to go in Grandma Yu's arm immediately snuggled closer to her enjoying every second of it.
Grandma Yu didn't know that her first grandchild was so smart that he had so many thoughts in just a few seconds, she was just happy that her grandchild didn't refuse her and even snuggled closer to her. To her it didn't matter whether her eldest grandchild was a mer or a daughter, or even a son- a grandchild was a grandchild, simple as that. Of course, she wouldn't say no to a granddaughter or grandson but if it was mer then that was okay too. She would pamper him too. Smiling foolishly she patted little bun's back as she happily praised his good looks, " his nose is so cute and his eyes, they are just as shiny as Dong Dong's- I am sure he will be a great beauty when he grows up, haha. I can almost imagine a line of man and woman asking for his hand in front of your door, Dong Dong."
" If that person will have to stand in a line to get my little bun, then they might as well never come," said Yu Dong, her son was so cute and smart, he was only nine months old but his brain worked faster than any baby in the village, of course, he will be a really smart child when he grows up, how can an average, stuck in a line with many others like him or her be good enough for him? If they are going to marry her little bun they might be exceptional!
" huh?" Grandam Yu was confused, by what her granddaughter just said, she turned to look at Chen Mi for an explanation but the latter simply stomped on Ye Liu's shoes and motioned him to say something.
Ye Liu stared at the footprint on his brand new shoe and glared at Chen Mi, he will definitely get him back for this but before that, he will have to change the topic lest their grandmother in law realised how much of a mer-son loving maniac Yu Dong was. " Ah, sister in law, Tong what are you looking around for?"
Yu Tong who was darting her eyes here and there for Li Hanjing immediately jumped like a cat on a hot tin can and immediately flushed red. "It's nothing, I was just looking around. The decorations are really pretty."
Of course, it was pretty, Yu Dong had taken a leaf out of the wedding decor she saw in the modern world and had used everything that she could get her hands on to decorate her home lavishly without caring about the expense.
Ye Liu snorted, he hasn't forgiven Yu Tong for the last time when she fought with him. Even though she was a changed woman now, why does it matter to him? Did he get an apology? This was why he targeted her just now.
Yu Tong was a bit confused by Ye Liu's attitude but then she caught sight of Li Hanjing from her peripheral view and she immediately rushed toward him. " Li Hanjing, you are here? How are you? Did you get tired after walking for so long? No, wait. Don't answer that, I will get you a cup of warm water just come and sit inside." Like a bird twittering, she circled Li Hanjing who was stumped by her overwhelming attention.
Yu Dong: "…." This is my house
Shen Li, Ye Liu and Chen Mi: "…." Oh to be in love.
Grandma Yu: "…." Something feels wrong.
He raised his hand and coughed. "it's alright, I am not tired." Then he turned to Xiao Hua who was hiding behind him and pulled him forward. " What are you doing, Miss Yu is standing right there- go and give her your blessing." Then he pushed him forward.
Xiao Hua who was pushed in front felt like he was struck by lightning. Because the Yu Dong in front of him was simply unreal! How can this woman be even real? He blinked his eyes and tried to shake off the shimmers that were making Yu Dong glow and suddenly felt like- he needed to have a doctor check his eyes. However, despite his thumping heart and clammy hands, he still strode forward and thrust his gift in Yu Dong's hand, " this is what I prepared for you and Brother Fang there is no need for you to thank me."
Yu Dong was first stupefied and then she chuckled, taking the gift from Xiao Hua, she handed it to Shen Li who went back into the house to put it away. She smiled at Xiao Hua and said, " Even though you said that I will still thank you."
Xiao Hua who was being smiled felt like his entire world has become dazzling, he stiffly nodded at Yu Dong and went back to Li Hanjing who was still being pestered by Yu Tong who was serving him water and refreshments. After he sat next to Li Hanjing, he slumped against him and said, " I need to see an eye doctor."
Li Hnajing: "…." I don't even want to ask how he came to this conclusion.
Yu Tong: "…." What?
" Oh my, what are you all doing?" Wu Junfen who was responsible for taking care of all the arrangements, walked inside the house with Mother Chen with whom she has hit off in just a second. Yu Dong smiled fawningly at her mother in law who snorted and walked toward Chen Mi before taking him in her arms as she sullenly said, " Just say the word in the future if you get bullied, I will break her legs."
Yu Dong was stunned by her declaration while Wu Junfen laughed heartily. She was clearly enjoying this, Yu Dong glared at her grandmother now sister and sneered, " you think this is funny, sister Junfen?"
" Is it not?"
Yu Dong smiled as she leaned in closer and whispered threateningly, " before marrying Uncle Yuehua, Wu Junfen had her fair share of affairs, just think how funny it will be once I tell Uncle Junfen about it?"
Wu Junfen who was just laughing a second ago choked and hurriedly clapped her hands. " alright, the auspicious hour to get on the horse has arrived everyone get ready."
Yu Dong sniggered. ' you are too old to win against me, grandma.' Though she said that in her heart, she still followed Wu Junfen and got on the horse. By the tradition of the village, married mers have to stay behind at the house and prepare for the arrival of the new bridegroom thus, Yu Dong and Yu Mai who was responsible for distributing the candies were the only one leading the procession while Shen Li, Ye Liu and Chen Mi had to stay behind in the Yu family household.
As the wedding procession started to march forward, Wu Junfen and Yu Tong lit up a string of firecrackers. The entire wedding procession was filled with laughter and gleeful shouts, no one noticed the wooden box that was being carried away on the cart next to them, even Yu Dong whose gaze fell on the box looked away after a short glimpse. However, as she got further away from the box she couldn't help but feel a bit lost.
