Chapter 202 – I Am Fine
" No, I am fine. Yu Dong didn't scold me at all. It was just that I was a bit too scared so I cried" Fang Chi felt a bit overwhelmed by all the attention he was receiving but it didn't feel bad instead he liked it a little bit but even with all this attention he didn't forget to clear Yu Dong's name in case others thought that she did something wrong when she clearly hadn't so much as raised her voice that much, even his grandmother uses a voice louder than her when she was scolding him it was just his fear of getting abandoned and mixed in the relief that he felt when Yu Dong said that she say a word of abandoning him that made his emotions a mess and he ended up crying.
" I know what you are talking about Wife, is really fierce when she gets angry," said Chen Mi nodding his head repeatedly. He shook his head and then patted Fang Chi's shoulder " Brother if you want to live with us, you need to grow some thick skin. My wife is really fierce in everything that she does .. and when I say everything… I mean everything… if you don't grow a thick skin then you will definitely suffer" he even winked suggestively in case Fang Chi didn't understand what he was trying to say.

He was in his late teen which was considered late in this world and with his marriage fixed even his grandmother was teaching him a little about the thing called intimacy through the lessons were full of awkwardness and a lot of 'emmms' and 'ahhs', thus it wasn't difficult for him to understand what Chen Mi was trying to say, immediately his entire face turned red as freshly braised pork. He wrung the edges of his sleeves as he opened and closed his mouth, clearly having no idea about what to say " I… That …"
" You stupid boy what are you saying ?" Ye Liu smacked the back of Chen Mi's head and turned to look at Fang Chi with an apologetic expression, as he cleared his throat uncomfortably " I am really sorry about him, Dong Dong have spoiled him rotten. You can take it as she dotes on him just as much as she dotes on little bun, so his manners have taken a turn for the worse"
" Hey, brother Liu! Don't say that, my manners are fine!" Chen Mi was too stunned since when did his brother Liu start to scold him like this? With his mouth, he complained to his Brother Li " look at this brother Li! Brother Liu just called me shameless!"
His small palm-size face was full of shock, loss and anger after being called shameless.
Shen Li looked at the lively Chen Mi and then glanced at the teasing Ye Liu, and felt an accomplishment in his heart. Yes, this is what he wanted .. ever since he was a kid. A family that was filled with love and laughter, he glanced at Yu Dong who was covering her face and chuckled softly, looks like she heard what Chen Mi just said, he thought that he couldn't love her anymore but after what she had done for them, this happiness that he was living in was all because of her -he felt like he was falling in love with her all over again. As if sensing his gaze she looked up, their gaze met and Yu Dong tipped her chin as if asking what was wrong but Shen Li simply shook his head as he knocked on Chen Mi's head with the back of his hand and flicked Ye Liu's forehead " Liu don't tease Mi and Mi, don't make your brother Fang uncomfortable, if you keep on doing this .. he might think that we are a family of hooligans"
" No, I won't-" began Fang Chi but just like Chen Mi and Ye Liu he was flicked on the forehead too. Surprised he raised his hand to cover the spot which was hit and looked at Shen Li in shock.

You need to change that attitude of yours too" said Shen Li sternly " You are not just Fang Chi now, you are the fiancé and the future husband of Yu Dong, one of the new masters of the second branch of the Yu Family. If you were to kneel in front of anyone, then it's just not you who will be kneeling in front of that person.. the entire family line of the Yu family will be kneeling with you. If you beg in front of someone, you will be throwing away all the pride that Yu Dong have earned because as one of her husband you now represent her if you kneel .. so will Yu Dong even if she is not there- don't forget that from the day you got engaged with Yu Dong, you became a Yu now you are no longer just a Fang. Bear this in mind, because this is what Yu Dong taught us -and as her first husband it's my responsibility to let you know this as well."
Fang Chi felt as if he was dreaming as he looked at the three mers in front of him. He had never seen mers with such a confident and astute aura. Only the ones in the town or the capital would have such a distinct aura around them – so this was how mers who were loved and cared for looked like, they didn't fear or were ashamed of their existence nor did they drown themselves in a river of self misery .. he wanted to be like them too. A mer who was confident and wise.. a mer who glowed with an aura that no one was able to look away from him. A mer who was loved despite all the things that he lacked.
Like these three.
" I understand," said Fang Chi a determined glint flashed in his eyes.
