326 YOUR HUSBAND

“What? Wu Jinhai punch you when he thought you poisoned him when he was just born?” Surprised, Bai Chen asked the question.

At first, it was Wu Jinhai who told him about his first meeting with Yu Ming years ago, but then it was Yu Ming who continued to tell the story by saying that Wu Jinhai punched him right in the face before he could even introduce his name to the boy.

“That’s right!” Full of annoyance, Yu Ming immediately answered Bai Chen. “I have to say that your husband here is too stupid, Prince Bai Chen. I was not even twenty at that time, but he thought I was my old man. And his fist was even faster than his mouth. Before he asked for a confirmation about my identity, he threw a fist at me first.”

Yu Ming did look irritated, and he even looked helpless as he shook his head while glancing at Wu Jinhai sitting across from him.

The man suddenly used the word “your husband” when he referred to Wu Jinhai, and more or less, Bai Chen blushed slightly because of that. He usually only heard how Wu Jinhai claimed him as his wife, and sometimes Yu Ming also said that he was indeed Wu Jinhai’s wife. But it was rare when he heard someone say that Wu Jinhai was his husband, and that was why Bai Chen looked a little embarrassed after hearing those words.

“Actually, you looked older than your age then, Yu Ming,” Wu Jinhai did not want to admit defeat, and that was why he launched a counterattack at Yu Ming who was sitting in front of him.

“How dare you say that, timid cat? You were frightened just because I suddenly appeared from the water, and you even said that I was a monster before trying to run away from me! You were really a loser when you were young, Wu Jinhai.”

Suddenly, Wu Jinhai and Yu Ming argued, and the other three people sitting at the table could only listen to their arguments. It seemed like Bai Chen was the only one feeling shocked by the story Wu Jinhai and Yu Ming had just told. When he glanced at Wu Shun and Wu Jingguo, he could see that the two of them looked calm after hearing the story, and now he could finally understand why Wu Jingguo had called Yu Ming a fish.

It turned out that the word “fish” there had a literal meaning because Yu Ming was indeed a fish.

.....

“Let me make a deduction from the story Wu Jinhai and Yu laoban have told,” Bai Chen decided to interrupt the two men’s argument. All pairs of eyes now turned to him before he continued, “So, the first time Wu Jinhai met Yu laoban was when he almost drowned in the river near Mount Heping many years ago? Back then, Yu laoban had observed Wu Jinhai from underwater before finally deciding to approach him, right? And from what I heard earlier, Yu laoban is the son of the leader of the fish demon, right?”

Bai Chen admitted that he was slow sometimes, and that was why he carefully tried to draw some conclusions from the information he had just heard. Suddenly, he had obtained a lot of new information today, and that was why his brain received so many shocks today.

“That’s right,” it was Yu Ming again who answered Bai Chen’s question, but he sounded calmer this time. “When your husband was just born, I was already ten years old at the time, and I witnessed from afar how my father poisoned him when he was a baby, but I also couldn’t do anything to help him because I was also only a weak boy at that time. However, I kept feeling that my father was too evil that he could even poison a baby, and that’s why I started observing Wu Jinhai from afar back then.”

Carefully, Bai Chen tried to digest Yu Ming’s explanation, and after he managed to understand most of it, he once again asked, “Why did you feel bad for Wu Jinhai back then, Yu laoban? It seems you cared about humans when you weren’t even human.”

This time, Yu Ming couldn’t immediately answer Bai Chen’s question. The man in black even averted his eyes from Bai Chen, and it looked like he was trying to remember a past event that happened many years ago.

“Ever since I was a child, I didn’t like my father,” Yu Ming replied, and what he said shocked Bai Chen once again

He couldn’t help but remember how he also hated his father who had never cared about him since he was young, but he didn’t even know the reason why Yu Ming also hated his father.

Did that man have some reasons just like him? Perhaps Yu Ming’s father didn’t care about him either?

When Bai Chen had a few questions in his head, Yu Ming continued, “I hate my father because he killed my mother.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

And again, Bai Chen was shocked after hearing Yu Ming’s further explanation. He had thought that Yu Ming was just like him and did not receive enough love from his father, but it turned out that Yu Ming’s story was more complicated, and that was why Bai Chen didn’t even know how to respond.

And even if Bai Chen didn’t give Yu Ming an answer, the black-robed man decided to continue explaining,

“My mother is also a fish demon, but for some reason, she was raised by a couple who lived in the Wu Li Empire many years ago. The couple was ordinary humans, but they didn’t even care that my mother was a demon. They took care of my mother until she grew up, and that was why my mother felt indebted to them. It could also be said that my mother had a soft heart just like a human, and that was the thing my father hated the most after the two of them got married. My father even killed the couple who had taken care of my mother during her childhood, and when I was eight years old, my father also killed my mother, thinking that my mother’s heart was too weak for a demon.”
