Chapter 8 — Mermaid's Bride

I walked to the desk and accidentally picked up a file, thinking it was Lam Ky's work documents. Unexpectedly, as soon as I opened it, my whole body froze on the spot. Inside, neatly arranged a stack of secretly taken photos of me. More importantly, below each photo, he meticulously noted the time, location and thoughts. July 3 – Pounced on by a kitten. Imagine yourself as a cat, wanting to crawl into her arms... wanting to kiss her. August 7 – She ate half a watermelon, her belly was round and plump... so cute. September 6 – She went swimming to cool off, only halfway through the swim she fell asleep, sleeping was so cute. …… Me: “…” At this point, I finally believed what the bullet said — 【Confirmation: Lam Ky is indeed a “dark mermaid”】 With this perverted personality, I confirm... normal people cannot learn. I quietly put the file back in its original place, pretended like I hadn't seen anything, then called Lam Ky. Having determined that he was deliberately seducing me like that, I thought... I should cooperate a little. That afternoon, I invited him to a high-end fashion store. As soon as I saw him walk in, I immediately chose a few figure-hugging shirts and gave them to him: "Try these." There is a very famous saying: "Black high-necked wool is the "black socks" reserved for men." When Lam Ky wore a black figure-hugging sweater, her shoulders were wide, her biceps were strong, her chest muscles were prominent, her body tall and slim... I couldn't move my eyes and my heart skipped a beat. I scanned a bunch of "serious office attire", but as soon as Lam Ky put it on, her serene, forbidding aura made me feel hotter the more I looked. Lam Ky saw that, her cheeks were slightly red, finally took the initiative to hold my hand, and said in a low voice: "Let's go, I'll take you out to eat." Before I could react, he took me to... a seafood restaurant. I looked at the menu in bewilderment, tilted my head and asked softly: "You're a fish... can you still eat seafood?" He raised his hand and gently tapped my forehead, his eyes shining with a look of helplessness and affection: "Do you think we only eat seaweed in the sea?" Me: “…” Well… that makes sense. He stood up to order, but before he could return, the kitchen door suddenly opened. "I told you, she looks a lot like Tri Diem, but you guys still say no!" I turned around — they were Chu Dat's close friends. The leader laughed and walked directly into the room: "Tri Diem, you told me to go out with my fiance, I knew you would come today for Dat Ca's birthday." Having finished speaking, another person from behind brought up an exquisite gift box: "The gifts are also prepared, let's go, come with us to the other side." Chu Dat glanced over, his eyes accidentally stopped at a few shopping bags next to me, the LOGO printed clearly - the exact brand of clothes he often wears. The corner of his lips unconsciously raised, his voice sarcastic: "With her aesthetic taste, who would want to wear those things?" Chung Diem Diem immediately pushed forward, holding my hand with one hand, smiling brightly as if very close: "Mieu Mieu, why didn't I tell you earlier that you were coming too? I thought you were still angry with me! Come on, go to our room, I just made mango cake, it's delicious, you have the fortune to eat today!" I raised my eyebrows, withdrew my hand, and gently refused: "No need, I'm allergic to mangoes." The corner of his lips curled into a cold smile: "Also, I didn't come to your party, I just came to eat." Chu Dat snorted coldly, his tone carrying a bit of familiar oppression: "Call me and I'll go, why do I have to be so stubborn? Give me a gift.” I rubbed my forehead, tired, thinking: Do these people... finally understand human language? At this moment, the room door was pushed open. A low, cold voice rang out: "What gift?" Lam Ky walked in, the atmosphere in the room immediately froze. He walked straight to me, his arm naturally wrapped around my shoulder, squeezing gently, his voice carrying a smile but sharp as a blade: "Guys, my fiancee and I just want to eat, we don't need to bother many people to watch, right?" Chu Dat squinted his eyes and stared at him, his face was gloomy, the corners of his lips curled slightly, deliberately saying: "Mieu Mieu knows it's my birthday today, she personally brought the gift, I can't disappoint her." Lam Ky heard that and smiled softly, a cold snort, carrying a bit of mockery, his sharp eyes locked on the other person: "Some people... are overconfident. Since when did the clothes my fiancee bought me become your birthday gift? For you really… can you wear it, you skinny bitch?”

“You!” Chu Dat was so angry that his face turned pale and his fists clenched until they turned white.

I gently pulled Lam Ky's sleeve, raised my head to look at him, and said calmly: "Let's change places." Looking at them... it's an eyesore." Lam Ky lowered his head to look at me, his eyes slightly tinged with a gentle smile, and nodded slightly: "Okay." He held my hand, preparing to leave. “Wait!” Chu Dat quickly reached out and grabbed the hem of my shirt, his voice shaking slightly: "You... speak clearly." But just at that moment, his eyes fell, seeing Lam Ky and I's hands clasped tightly with ten fingers, on my ring finger, the light of the "Mermaid's Tears" sparkled. I stopped, slowly turned around, my voice was faint, carrying a trace of coldness: "Chu Dat, between us... there is no longer any relationship. I don't need to explain anything to you.” From the moment my household registration was separated from the Chu family, I was no longer his adopted sister. From the day we left that house, you and I... couldn't even be called friends. Hearing that, Chu Dat slowly let go, his face looked gloomy and tired, and his eyes flickered with pain. But I... just coldly looked at him one last time, then didn't look back again. 12 12 I originally planned to get married three months later, but then I discovered that every night before bed, Lam Ky quietly wrote in her diary - "Will she... leave me?" “Tomorrow, will she… still be here?” That night, he hugged my waist tightly, his voice was hoarse and trembling, with a bit of sobbing: "Mieu Mieu... can we get married a little sooner?" "I'm... very scared... scared that one day, I'll wake up and no longer see you by my side." I originally intended to tease him a few words, but seeing his eyes as wet and sparkling as the sea that night, my heart softened. In the end, I could only nod in agreement and proactively move the wedding up earlier. The night before the wedding, I had just coaxed Lam Ky to sleep from crying, when the phone suddenly rang. Display screen — Zhou Dat. I frowned, hesitated for a second, then pressed to listen. “Mieu Mieu… I can't sleep…” I closed my eyes, my voice cold: “Take sleeping pills.” “Don't want to… Mieu Mieu… sing me a lullaby… okay?” I was silent, didn't answer. His voice choked again, carrying sadness, like a drowning person trying to cling to the last straw: "You... don't marry someone else. You once promised... to marry me." "I know... I hurt you, I was wrong. I swear... it will never happen again." “Mieu Mieu… can you go back… okay?” The phone echoed with suppressed sobs, each word filled with a plea. But... strangely enough. When I hear Lam Ky cry, I feel sadness, love, and even vibration. But hearing Chu Dat cry... I just felt tired and disgusted.

"If you're sick, go to a doctor. If you have a problem, go to your parents." “Chu Dat, don't call me anymore.” "I... am about to become a mother. What are you still talking about?" Without waiting for him to reply, I immediately hung up.

On the other end of the line, Chu Dat was stunned, his hand holding the phone stiffened in place. The other quote — “I… am about to become a mother.” Like a curse, deep into his ears, echoing endlessly, each time, each time, it was so painful that it tore his heart apart. 13 From that day on, Mother Chu and Co Tinh called me many times, but I never picked up. I heard... Chu Dat's insomnia seriously relapsed. Chung Diem Diem stood by his side almost 24 hours, but did not bring any effect. He just sat there, clutching the phone, constantly listening to the recording of the lullaby I once sang for him in the past, tears rolling down his pale face. When the Chu family discovered that Chung Diem Diem had completely lost her "value", they without hesitation kicked her out of the house. Chung Diem Diem was unwilling and sent countless text messages cursing me, as if he wanted to haunt me and not let go. The next day, she was invited into the police station. On the day of the wedding, I did not inform the Chu family. But Chu Dat... still came. He stood in a far corner, his eyes were dark, his face was so haggard that he no longer had any of his previous energy. When he saw Lam Ky and I exchanging rings, he was like an abandoned stray dog, his whole body lost all strength, his eyes filled with helplessness and despair. But I… just pretended I didn't see it. Wedding night. Lam Ky changed into a tight black outfit, with wide shoulders and a slim waist. Just standing there made me unable to take my eyes off her. As he knelt down in front of me, letting me manipulate him as he pleased, I could only use three words to describe this beautiful scene — Tight, restrained, obedient. I suddenly frowned, tilted my head slightly, and asked softly: "Er... why are your ears so red?" On the healthy honey skin, pink patches appear, so cute that it makes people want to take a bite. Lam Ky slightly raised his head, his deep blue eyes covered with a layer of vague water vapor, as if there was nothing, filled with affection. At this moment, bullets suddenly exploded: 【I declare! A bust size of 120 is the best dowry for a man!】 【Saving lives, the "leader" kneels before the "female emperor", oh my god, the superior forces the subordinate to yield, and can still cry, it is truly a "blessed star" in the world!】 【The mermaid even specially took the medicine first, is she afraid that crying won't be miserable enough?!】 【Can't stand it anymore, the nosebleed is about to spurt out! Please don't turn off the lights! Let me finish watching this episode and then "end the movie" okay?!】 【I only ask for one thing…let me watch one more time!】 【Tri Diem, you're so good at holding back!】 Me: “…” Yeah, I guess I can't hold back anymore. Lam Ky took my hand and placed it on his left chest, his heart beating as hard as a war drum. His voice was low, carrying a rare bit of pampering: "Mieu Mieu... my heart is beating so fast... listen to it..." 【The livestream room is closed, please feel free to enjoy.】 I pushed him down and conveniently turned off the light. My husband today... seems to be sick. Looking at this… not very good. Luckily... my skills are high, it's just that... it's a bit laborious... and expensive.
