Yu Dong's lips twitched, this Xiao Hua wasn't an easy person to deal with, his ego alone was enough to give her a headache. She pinched the space between her eyes and sighed "Mr Xiao, can you please stop egging my husbands with your useless remarks. I don't think you came here to show how in-demand you are at the town?"
Xiao Hua found something wrong with Yu Dong's words. Useless remarks? Hello, his popularity was off the charts! Alright? What do you mean by useless remarks? He wasn't here to discuss how in demand he was instead he was merely stating the facts! He came here to meet Yu Dong and yet he was attacked like he was a thief trying to steal a beauty or something!
Especially that Chen Mi and the little brat of his, the two of them chased him back into his carriage! Only now with Yu Dong around did Xiao Hua dare to come out, or else who knows how he would have been bitten!
However, Xiao Hua wasn't someone who would keep such things in mind. His mentality was strong and he knew how to carry himself on certain occasions, if not he wouldn't have survived in the tavern for so long. He adjusted his emotions real quick " I came here just like you asked me to, didn't you say that if I can prove my worth to you... You will redeem me from that hell hole?"
Understandably the three husbands turned to look at Yu Dong who held her hand up " hold on, it's not what you think" she could feel her husbands holding her breath as they waited for her to explain what exactly was going on, Yu Dong inhaled nervously and then motioned Xiao Hua to follow her inside " we should discuss this matter in the house if someone hears it... Then it will be quite troublesome. "
Xiao Hua tucked the hair lock that was caressing his left cheek behind his ear and scoffed " have I not said that already? I explained to them that I came here to discuss business and nothing more... Like if I was interested in you I had a lot of chances to stake my claim. I even said that I'm here to sell my wisdom instead of my beauty but they didn't listen to a word I have to say"
" you did not! You came here took a glance at us and then went ' oh do you think that I only have my beauty to offer?' then you scoffed contemptuously! What did you mean by that?" said Chen Mi, he was supposed to be enjoying the bliss of his wife's love by indulging him but instead, heh! The first thing he saw in the morning was the face of this annoying mer!
" I-"
"Mr Xiao, if you are here to ask me to help you redeem yourself then it means that in the future I will be your master, if we were to go according to that then it means that my husbands are your masters as well, do show them the respect they deserve alright?" though Yu Dong spoke all of that in a nonchalant manner as she averted her gaze from her husbands and looked at Xiao Hua. But she enunciated the word ' masters' heavily as if she was trying to remind Xiao Hua of his position.
Xiao Hua might have renowned fame for himself but he was in the end an entertainer whose life and death was in the hand of his masters. He barely had any connections and because he was stubborn and a romanticist at heart he never once took any frivolous invitation of those rich women in the town. He wanted to redeem himself but on his own terms and condition, he didn't want to sell his body for money.
This was why he choose Yu Dong, he could tell that she genuinely had no interest in him anymore and wouldn't try to push her luck with him either. Thus even though he didn't like her tone, he could only grit his teeth and give her a fake smile " since it is like then mistress would you like to hear what this dear slave of yours want to say ?"
Fine! You don't want me to talk back to your husbands? Alright! I will rile them up every time they try to mess with me! Xiao Hua was no soft persimmon either!
Yu Dong shook her head, rubbing the goosebumps on her arms after she finished listening to Xiao Hua's overly sweet voice.
This guy was surely mischievous in his own ways but he was smart, he easily found the leeway in her words and went according to the terms that she place forward but on his own terms.
He was like a time bomb, it wouldn't be easy to control him.
Once everyone went inside, Shen Li as the host of the family went to the kitchen and brought a few sweets and tea. Though he didn't know why Xiao Hua this troublesome guy came here but he knew that it must be because of his wife's arrangements. If this was before he would have doubted that his wife for biting more than she can chew but now he has realised that there was no need for him to worry, his wife knew what she was she doing.
Xiao Hua might be sharp and swift but his wife wasn't bad either.
" so you came here because you came up with a business plan didn't you?" asked Yu Dong going straight to the point, she wasn't someone who liked to talk around in circles and neither was Xiao Hua, he too didn't reach for the cakes that Shen Li brought and only sipped on the tea, and that too was out of politeness.
" I did after you told me to prove my worth I went back and thought it over, and finally came to the conclusion that compared to you, who is still a baby chick in the market strategies. I'm smarter when it comes to that" Xiao Hua couldn't stop himself, as an entertainer who tried his hardest to keep himself safe from those dirty women he changed his personality to one of a porcupine. Now even if wanted to he couldn't stop himself from speaking rudely to anyone.
Even if that anyone was his future boss.
Yu Dong barely reacted, but the curve of her mouth went higher.. Though it was unpleasant to listen to, she has to admit that Xiao Hua was right.
