Chapter 746: It looked pretty

Chapter 746: It looked prettyNeither Chen Mi nor Shen Li knew how to swim though they liked playing in the water, they could never imagine themselves swimming in it and that too under the water! Immediately their expression changed as if Yu Dong has asked them to go ahead and dive into the ocean from the same cliff as Fang Chi.          

"What's wrong?" Yu Dong asked as she looked at the two husbands of hers at first she did not catch on what they were getting pale for but when she noticed the flicker of fear in their eyes, she narrowed her gaze at the two of them and asked, " Do not tell me that you two don't know how to swim?"      

Her words caused a chill to run up Chen Mi and Shen Li's spine, they knew their wife very well, if they were to say that they really did not know how to swim then they were sure that Yu Dong will certainly drag them to the ocean to teach them how to swim right at this moment which was why they both composed their expressions and smiled like nothing was wrong at all.      

" Of course not wife, it is just that we have Master Jiang as our guest, we cannot leave him alone right?" Chen Mi did not want to be dragged under the water which was why he immediately dragged Master Jiang who was sitting on the couch with an oversized pregnant belly. " If we leave him and Fang Chi alone, would it not be a bit risky? It's better if I stay here. You can take Brother Li and the others with you, that should be fine as well, while I take care of kids and our guests?"    

Shen Li who was pushed into the frontline of the battle immediately turned to look at Chen Mi with a glare just as the latter turned around and looked away from Shen Li's gaze.      

Seeing that Chen Mi was not meeting his gaze, Shen Li snorted and then turned to look at Yu Dong with a smile and then said, " Mi is still young, Dong Dong. You should leave someone wise and knowledgable like me with two pregnant mers, all right? That will be better."      

Yu Dong could see that the two of them were making excuses but she knew that it will be slightly rude if she was to leave Jiang Fenhua alone with Fang Chi which was why she nodded and said,  " All right, you two can stay."      

Upon hearing her words both Shen Li and Chen Mi sighed in relief but the second they heaved a sigh, they heard Yu Dong say, " Don't think that you have dodged this matter just wait, and I will take you two to learn swimming. It is a very important skill, what kind of person does not know how to swim?"      

" Awww," Chen Mi whined, he thought that he will be fine without learning swimming since no mers knew how to swim but then again Yu Dong was all about, —— What I know my mers should know as well which meant that there was no way he will be able to get away from this!    

Even Shen Li looked sullen, he had never gone swimming. Even though he was fine with playing around in water that was not deep, it was a completely different story when swimming in the deep waters of the ocean!    

He was not looking forward to it at all!      

Jiang Fenhua on the other hand was fairly intrigued, he grew up in an official's house and did not see many things while growing up. When he heard Yu Dong tell her mers that she was going to take them underwater swimming, he could not help but ask, " Sister Dong, can I go as well?"      

His voice was hopeful even Fang Chi turned to look at Yu Dong with a bit of excitement to which Yu Dong shook her head and said,  " The pressure under the water is rather heavy, pregnant mers should avoid going down the water in such a condition."      

Her words caused both Jiang Fenhua and Fang Chi's faces to drop, seeing this Yu Dong was really amused. It was funny how the ones who could go underwater diving did not want to go and the ones who could not go wanted to go, she shook her head with a smile and then said, " There is no need to feel upset, now that this entire place is mine…you can come here any time you want after giving birth and I will take you to underwater diving."      

That brought some colour back to Jiang Fenhua and Fang Chi's faces while  Yu Dong turned to look at Ye Liu and Xiao Hua.      

" What about you two? Do you want to go?" Yu Dong was afraid that they will refuse as well but to her surprise Ye Liu and Xiao Hua both nodded.      

" I will go with you, Dong Dong!" Xiao Hua smiled proudly as he took the clothes that Yu Dong offered him then patted the rubbery-looking swimsuit curiously. He had seen swimwear made out of fish skin and jellyfish skin along with shark skin but he had never seen something like this, which made him curious.      

He touched the swimsuit again and again while saying, " I and the others mers were often locked in barrels filled with water when we refused to go along with what the madam said, this was why we learned to swim such that we will be able to keep our faces above the water level in the barrel and won't drown."      

As soon as he finished speaking there was a dead silence in the room while four arms reached out to hug him. Xiao Hua, who did not expect this looked at the four mers and then said,  "What ?"      

" You are something else, Brother Hua," Chen Mi patted the mer on the arm as he sighed. Only a mer like Xiao Hua can say something as gloomy as this and still pretend as if he said nothing.
