Shen Li had been married to Yu Dong for a long time and even if he only got to know the real Yu Dong just a year ago, he could still understand what was going on in her head most of the time.
How could he not? The two of them were like peas in a pod.
" But..." Yu Dong said worriedly, " What if something happens, I mean I am not omnipotent. I cannot save you all the time, I would rather like it if you stay at home and stay safe." She paused and added, " I am afraid that if I am not careful enough something like what happened in the past will happen again."
" Dong Dong..." Shen Li sighed. He did not know what to say to her.
It was a fact that a small carelessness on their part had cost the life of a child. If they had been a bit more careful then they would have been able to save Fang Chi's daughter. Though Fang Chi did not show it on his face, Shen Li knew that he was still hung up on the fact that he lost his daughter.
There was one time when Chen Mi was discussing whether or not he wanted to give birth to another child and Fang Chi had refused saying that he was happy with just Bobo.
He did not want to give birth to another child because of the incident that traumatized him. And Yu Dong was the same, though she pretended to be all right the truth was that she would often watch him like a hawk, what he ate, drank or wore, she would take a look at everything. She wouldn't even let the children feed him snacks that they received from the neighbours.
' What if it has something harmful for a pregnant mer?' Yu Dong had said this to him many times. Though Shen Li understood her reasons, sometimes he wished Yu Dong could slow down a little and stay calm.
Furthermore, he was slowly getting annoyed as well because Yu Dong treated him like he was a porcelain doll. In the village, pregnant mers could even work in the fields, so why couldn't he stand still and order the mammies on how to sort things out? It wasn't as if he was picking up heavy boxes and putting them down.
" Don't worry I will think of a way to deal with this matter as well," Yu Dong nodded. Since she had decided to open a mall it was her responsibility to make sure that everything was in place.
Yu Dong looked at the sun which was still rising and knew that it was around eight-thirty in the morning. The auspicious time was around nine o'clock in the morning, there was still time before the auspicious time. She turned to look at the rest of her family and said, "Let us go and eat something. We still have time before setting off the fireworks."
Chen Mi nodded as he rubbed his belly and said, " I think we should eat. It's been three hours since we ate the meat buns in the morning, it's time for us to have a decent breakfast."
The rest of the family members also nodded though they did not want to miss the auspicious hour there was still time before the clock struck nine in the morning.
Their group of nine members stepped out of the mall as Yu Dong asked the security officer to keep an eye on the mall and the supplies inside. In the past, it was all right if the beggars and the homeless came to take a nap in the mall but now the situation has changed.
The shops inside were filled with numerous supplies, if someone stole them at this point when the ration was being sold at the price of gold and silver, where would she go to file a complaint?
Wouldn't she make a loss then?
" Ah, does this shop belong to you?"
