Raising Cuties 128 ( I think…)

"What's the point of apologizing now?" said Chen Mi as he huffed angrily, his lips curved up into an even more sulky pout. "I already have enough trouble as it is because I'm so shy. You don't pay attention to me at all. With this new addition, you are going to ignore me even more now, won't you?"

'Your character is Mi,' that's what Yu Dong wanted to tell him, but because she was in the wrong, she couldn't do it.

"I...ignore us?" Ye Liu usually had a cold expression on his face. Sometimes he would blush and show other expressions, so this was Yu Dong's first time seeing him so dejected.

"Now, now don't be so glum. Our wife is not such a cruel person. Since she took responsibility for us, she will definitely give us an equal amount of time. Isn't that right, Dong Dong?" said Shen Li with a gentle smile, though his expression looked like he said those words because he placed immense trust in Yu Dong.

But Yu Dong couldn't help but feel a tremendous amount of pressure being put upon her. She had a feeling that if she refused them of anything or so much as became the slightest bit negligent of them... she would be in big trouble.

"Y...yes ?" agreed Yu Dong though her kidney was hurting a lot all of a sudden. This... will she be alright?

"See? She gave us her promise, so you two don't worry at all," said Shen Li as he poured the spiritual water that they stored in the water vat for them to drink. Only then did he help Yu Dong up. "Here you go, drink this and relax. You should be taking better care of yourself now. You now have to take care of 'four husbands' very soon. How will you take care of your 'four husbands' if you get sick?"

Yu Dong took the cup filled with water and drank a sip, but today even the spiritual water seemed to have lost its magic. She didn't feel refreshed at all. Instead, she couldn't help but think that Shen Li's words were unusually prickly. "Umm, Li, are you still angry at me?"

"Oh dear, how did you arrive at that conclusion?" said Shen Li as he drank his water. If this was any other day, he would have felt a burst of sweetness in his mouth with just one sip, but today all he could taste was a sour taste in his mouth.

Chen Mi and Ye Liu: here, we are the same brother.

"I'm not at all angry. Why would I be angry?" said Shen Li as he put his cup back on the table. Hard. So hard that it cracked, "It's not as if you are the one at fault. You didn't do anything wrong, and it's definitely because of those gossiping villagers that our family is in so much trouble. But I am not angry at you at all."

Yu Dong gulped as she looked at the shattered cup. He was definitely mad at her and no one else. After all, she did such a scumbag thing to him. She frolicked together with him. Tasted his body and enjoyed his gifts, maybe even got him pregnant. The next day she bought back another lover in her arms. No matter how she thought of it, the guilt - the guilt was hers alone! "Li, I didn't -"

"Wife," Shen Lin interrupted her before she could even begin her second round of apologies. Since she was trying her best to apologize, Yu Dong turned completely silent and waited for Shen Li to finish speaking before pleading guilty to her crimes.

"Yes?"

"I would like some braised pork belly, mango pudding stir-fried rice cakes. Oh, Liu would like some dan dan noodles. As for Chen Mi, he wants to eat crab rangoon." Shen Li finished telling off the menu that they came up with so suddenly. Yu Dong could feel her eyes twitch when she ticked all the items in her mental memo pad.

Pork, crab, mango -except for some mangoes, which were the easiest to get with her spiritual power. Nothing else was at home because they still had a lot of fish. Yu Dong thought about buying meat next week and didn't buy anything at today's visit to the town, but now she regretted it.

"The ingredients for these dishes are not at home -"

"Make them for us."

"But the ingredients are not-"

"I like freshly butchered meat."

'Ah! So that's what they were aiming at!' Yu Dong suddenly had an epiphany and felt a chill run up her spine. Haha, her husbands were ruthless when they were angry. Yu Dong had no other choice but to turn on her heels and bring her hunting tools out of her room. Whatever, it seems like she wouldn't be able to gain their apology without working hard for it.

After changing her clothes, she returned with a hunter knife on her waist and a bow hoisted on her back. She looked at her still sulking husbands and couldn't help but softly smile at them. Geez, really, these three kids. "I will be going now then, don't open the door for anyone. Okay?"

No answer.

Yu Dong sighed and swore to cook a feast once she returned. She hoped that her cooking skills wouldn't fail her at such a crucial moment.

Once she walked out of the house, Shen Li and the others became even sulkier. This wasn't what they were aiming for! They wanted to be coaxed! They wanted to be whispered to with sweet nothings!

"She is such a dumb dumb!" whispered Chen Mi, as he buried his face in his hands. How could his wife be so insightful as well as entirely oblivious?

"She is," agreed Ye Liu as he sipped on his water," but she is sweet too."

Shen Li hummed as he rested his face on his palm. "If not, we wouldn't be so relaxed at the arrival of another rival, would we?"

"That's right!" Both Chen Mi and Ye Liu agreed with Shen Li. This was the only reason they were not worried about losing their place in this house but -

'I will not lose that new boy!' all the three men swore in their hearts.
