Chapter 626
“You, stop daydreaming. Back in the day, many couples participated in the Mermaid Transformation Project. How many of them failed and the resulting mermaid children were sacrificed? Only Yanyan was blessed enough to be successfully transformed into a mermaid. Not everyone can be this lucky. She was adored from the moment she was born, more noble and exceptional than anyone else…”noveldrama
Xia Yanyan felt quite flattered, her pride that had been shattered recently was instantly restored.
However, Xia Yanyan knew that these ladies, although flattering her on the surface, were likely mocking her failed marriage application to the country behind her back. Apparently, Ye Junqing would rather go to jail than marry her.
Tonight, she will let everyone know that it’s not Ye Junqing who’s looking down on her, but she is looking down on Ye Junqing!
She also wants everyone to know that she, Xia Yanyan, is the woman Ye Junqing cannot obtain. Only then can she regain her dignity and pride that had been trampled on by Ye Junqing!
Just then, Yi Yujian walked over to Ye Shiting, presented Xia Yanyan’s wedding registration form to him, and said with suppressed anger, “This is my cousin’s marriage application form. At your inauguration banquet, you have to announce her spouse. It’s infuriating.”
...
“Never mind, it’s just a routine.” Ye Shiting didn’t mind much, after all, she was his aunt’s daughter.
However, Yi Yujian was holding a grudge. Originally, Yanyan would rather ruin her husband’s future than marry his younger brother. Although her visit to plead was somewhat melodramatic, her cousin did hurt her feelings. Now, Yi Yujian didn’t want to have anything to do with Xia Yanyan.
“Tonight’s main character should be you. She’s stealing your thunder. She’s clueless. I’m growing to dislike her more and more. Because she’s a national treasure, once she submits her marriage application, you have to plan the wedding for her!”
Ye Shiting took the marriage application form from his wife and comforted, “Don’t worry, she can’t steal my thunder tonight. But others might steal some of it, which I’m happy to see.”
“Who?” Yi Yujian sensed something in her husband’s words.
Ye Shiting leaned in, whispering something into her ear. Rather than being annoyed, Yi Yujian laughed, “Really? He should have proposed long ago. I’d be happy to see that too. I’d support anyone stealing the limelight, as long as it doesn’t benefit Yanyan.”
Ye Shiting didn’t expect his wife to be so childish. He chuckled, “Regardless, Yanyan is your aunt’s daughter, your own cousin. You really plan on cutting ties? Don’t worry about me: I don’t mind these trivial matters.”
“If your relatives are going to drag us down, you might not mind, but I find it disgraceful and it makes my heart ache. I don’t want to see Yanyan right now. Unfortunately, she’s a national treasure, the one and only mermaid in the world. Even if we didn’t want to invite her to tonight’s inaugural banquet, she would still find a way to walk right in and you would still have to announce her marriage.”
“She may not be the only mermaid in the world.” Ye Shiting thought of Ye Xingguang.
Last time, in order to save his younger brother, Bai Xiu’s wife revealed that she was a mermaid and was about to jump into the river to prove her identity. He didn’t know if it was true or not. Ye Shiting had a hunch that given the situation at the time, she had no reason to lie to him. Maybe…
Ye Shiting thought again about how his brother was always so obsessed with building a mermaid-themed park and swimming pool. Maybe… what Bai Xiu’s wife said was true and her brother had known about this all along.
Yi Yujian heard her husband hesitate, “Maybe what? Is there a second mermaid in this world?”
