Chapter 658: Not that selfish
Yu Dong stared at Fang Chi who spoke his mind without even hesitating a little and wished she could kick herself in the butt, Fang Chi was clearly much more intuitive than she thought he was and she was the one who was foolish enough to think that he did not even have any idea what she was doing with Xiao Hua.
She looked at the mer who was smiling at her and before she knew it she had pulled him into her arms. She was lucky, even though she found her happiness after she died, she thought her death was worth it for she met with such wonderful mers in her second life, when she was in the apocalypse world, she had all the comforts and resources compared to others but she still did not feel happy.
She used to smile but not once had she felt like she belonged to a place, her parents were often busy researching this and that—— they only called her when they needed her.
'Take care of your brothers, we know you can do it.'
' Dong Dong, you are strong I know you will be fine.'
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt' How can you be so selfish? You are the older sister, you have to be responsible for your brothers. So, what if you have to take care of them on your day off? Can't you see we are busy as well!'
' We are your parents, we have worked hard for so many years —- juggling in and out of the job, so why can't you?'
' You want to marry that guy from the research department? He is no good for you. Listen to mom, stay with your brothers and leave the matter of choosing a good man for your mother. I will choose a good man, don't worry.'
Her parents have seen her struggle, they have seen that she wanted to get married to a guy and start her own family but they have deliberately ignored it and stopped her from getting married because they were worried that if Yu Dong got married they will have to look after her brothers.
Throughout her entire life as she walked past her twenties and walked into her thirties her mother never once looked for a man for her and when she turned thirty-five. Her mother as shameless as ever came to her and said——
' Dong Dong, you are already so old…what's the point of getting married now? No one will like you, now that you look so old and withered. Ne, why don't you listen to your mother and take care of your brothers from now on?'
' What did you say? I am asking you to dedicate your life to your brothers. I am not asking you to do that! All I am saying is that you are so old! Even if you married someone now, you will be despised by them because you are old and ugly and cannot give birth! I am doing this for your own good!'
It was the day when she rushed out of the house without even caring where she was going ignoring the screeches of her mother. After the death of her grandmother, her parents became more and more careless, at least when her grandmother was in charge, the two of them would come back home and take care of the children they gave birth to but after her grandmother died, the two of them simply left her brothers for her to take care.
And Yu Dong had done that because she was the responsible older sibling and not once did she rebel, and the first and last time she rebelled against her mother, she died under a zombie attack.
Even her parents were selfless but these mers even though they were uncomfortable, they always placed her first than themselves.
" D..Dong Dong, what are you doing?" Fang Chi was really flustered when he was hugged in front of everyone even though he could see that everyone was looking somewhere else and even covered their eyes like Chu Cheng and his children, he still could not help but feel embarrassed. Even his neck turned red as he realised that his wife has hugged him in front of everyone, what was this…what was this?
What should he do now, should he hug her back? Should he push her away? What should he do now?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFang Chi felt his brain get fried up as he tried to think of a proper action while Yu Dong was hugging him.
" Not fair!" Chen Mi who saw that Yu Dong was only hugging Fang Chi was really angry. He jumped up from his seat and then glared at Yu Dong who was only hugging Fang Chi and said, "I was the one who made those scented pouches why is it that I got no hugs——"
He was still speaking when Yu Dong let go of Fang Chi and walked over to him before hugging him as well. Immediately Chen Mi's complaints turned off and his forehead which was visible through the gaps in Yu Dong's arms turned red as he pushed her away and said, " All right enough hugging, go and bring those two back."
" I will," Yu Dong immediately let go of him and patted Shen Li on his head as she said, " Don't blame yourself while I am gone." And walked out of the house, and she has to bring the two of them back home, even if she has to go to hell and drag Gu Li back with her!
Or else she won't be the only one who will lose everything!
Behind her, Chen Mi turned to look at Fang Chi and asked, " Won't you regret it?"
Fang Chi has known about the matter between Yu Dong and Xiao Hua for a long time, he was actually the first person to find out since he has been once abandoned by Mu Yuxi for another mer when she fell for Chu Cheng. So, of course, he knew the changes happening around him but he never said anything, he was afraid that with his looks and lack of abilities, he will be abandoned in an old corner again by Yu Dong.
He was selfish but not to the point where he would watch Yu Dong suffer silently.
