"Treacherous thoughts? What kind of—"
"Of making her divorce us," Xie Jie interrupted him. "I know you and the way you work, your highness. And I also understand why you have made the contract for three years. One for each of us right? You want to take care of us one by one."
Xie Jie understood the workings of Fu Qi Hong much better than the other two because he had lived with his mother for more than sixteen years. People like Fu Qi Hong and his mother were of the same kind.
Patient but deadly.
They would willingly wait for ages as long as they could get what they wanted.
Fu Qi Hong stopped speaking and glanced at Xie Jie with a stern look on his face. He neither refused nor denied causing a chill to rise in the hearts of Shao Hui or Yin Fu.
Three years—one for each.
This mer, he truly wanted to separate Mo Qiang from them.
"I will suggest you learn to share, Your Highness," said Xie Jie with a small smile on his lips. But that smile did not reach his eyes. "This is not your world and even if it is, we are not living in it. If you dare to touch what's ours then…"
His eyes changed turning into pure black pupils and the longer Fu Qi Hong looked at Xie Jie, the more crazy things he saw, like he was going to go mad in a while if he didn't pull away from whatever connection he was sharing with this mer.
He blinked his eyes and returned to the restaurant where he was sitting, while Xie Jie smiled at him pleasantly. "You—"
"We are not your mother, nor we are your daddy," Xie Jie cut him off again. "We don't have to give in to your whims. Do you understand Your Highness? We married Mo Qiang respectfully with all the vows and legal procedures."
"And none of us have any intention of divorcing her. So either you get used to our presence, or you can end this contract before things go messy."

"Your Highness, are you still upset?" Ling Che asked as he walked over to the table where Fu Qi Hong was sitting. Three hours passed and yet even though the three mers had gone, Fu Qi Hong was still sitting in the same spot as before.
Dressed in an apron, he stopped next to the table and placed a bowl of sweet corn ice cream in front of Fu Qi Hong. The dessert was enough to leave anyone in awe and yet Fu Qi Hong simply glanced at it.
He clenched his fingers on his lap and said, "I am not upset. I —I just wanted to pursue the person I liked, was it wrong?"
He was naturally going to give those mers a fair share of money, houses and other things to make sure that they would live a good life. He was even willing to let Yin Fu take his child away. He knew that neither of those mers liked Mo Qiang and she them.
Who would have thought that those mers would come looking for him and even say such harsh words?
