Guide To Reign My Tycoon Husbands

"It's too gooey... it tastes foul— I don't want to eat it anymore."

"There is no need for you to complain so much. It must be because the weather outside has started to warm up and the pastries went a bit bad, but they can still be eaten."

"Ah… no more, no more."

"I can't do it anymore."

"You can just open your mouth and eat whatever I am feeding you."

Qi Yongrui, who was lying unconscious on the floor, heard bits and pieces of the conversation and was confused. He was sure that he heard the voice of his wife, but at the same time, he was also listening to the whimpering voice of the mer. What was going on? Just what was his wife doing with this mer for him to plead like this?

He opened his eyes in a daze and looked around. When he saw Luo Huian crouching in front of a mer with her fingers clasping his jaw, Qi Yongrui narrowed his eyes and said to her, "Stop, what do you think you are doing?"

Luo Huian turned to look at Qi Yongrui, and so did Gu Qinfan. Only then did Qi Yongrui notice the chocolate that was smeared on Gu Qinfan's lips.

"What? I am saving your lives." Luo Huian snorted. She dropped the plastic spoon in the container that she was holding in her hands and then turned to look at Qi Yongrui with an annoyed look on her face. "In fact, I should be the one asking, what are you doing? What about this village made you think that coming here was really a jolly good idea? Was it the fact that the people went missing, or was it the fact that the villagers of this village stayed away from the townspeople? What was it that drove you to make this fantastic decision?"

Luo Huian couldn't understand Qi Yongrui. This mer seemed like a rather smart person but at the same time, he was quite foolish.

"Pfft," Long Zhong, who was tied and thrown right next to Qi Yongrui, couldn't help but burst into laughter. It wasn't his fault. Luo Huian was simply too funny.

"I am a businessmer." Qi Yongrui blinked his eyes slowly and said to Luo Huian, "I will do anything that I think will bring me profit."

"And your sister asked you to come here," Luo Huian deadpanned with a sneer.

Qi Yongrui immediately closed his mouth. He didn't have anything to say against this; after all, Luo Huian was indeed right. His sister was the one who asked him to come to this village.

When Luo Huian saw that Qi Yongrui was not saying anything, she knew that she had hit the nail on the head. She rolled her eyes and then said to the mer, "Tell me, Qi Yongrui. Are you really that used to getting bullied? You start feeling a bit troubled if you are not bullied for a few days? If you are a masochist, then you can tell me."

"We can figure this thing out somehow. There are a bunch of courses that you can take; I believe you will get better in a matter of time."

Qi Yongrui was speechless, and Long Zhong, who was supposed to be still lying unconscious, couldn't stop himself from laughing once again.

"Laugh. Keep laughing; one of these days, you will die of laughing," Qi Yongrui snapped at his friend, who was chortling as if he had heard some really fantastic joke.

He then turned to look at Luo Huian and stated, "It is not what you think."

"Everyone suffering from your condition says the same thing." Luo Huian sang like a canary and it made Qi Yongrui speechless. He raised his head slightly and said to Luo Huian angrily, "Are you trying to piss me off?"

Luo Huian simply shrugged and said, "It depends on whether it is working or not."

"Luo Huian!"

"Qi Yongrui!" Luo Huian sweetly called Qi Yongrui's name as she crouched down such that she was at eye level with the mer and stated in a cold voice, "It seems like you are not very clear about the situation, so let me tell you something. The one who has caused trouble is you. You are the one who foolishly listened to your sister and then ended up being caught up in trouble here."

"Do you think that this village is simple and that the villagers here are simple? No, they are murderers." Luo Huian relayed the entire crux of the matter to Qi Yongrui and Long Zhong, who were simply dumbfounded.

Qi Yongrui expected his brother-in-law to teach him a lesson, but he never thought that the mer would actually come up with a way to kill him.

Long Zhong, on the other hand, flailed like a fish on the ground. He snorted and said to Qi Yongrui, "See? I told you. That brother-in-law of yours is merciless and vindictive. What's more, he is blind and stupid. Instead of blaming his wife, he is blaming you. Is he not stupid? If he has the guts, why doesn't he kill his wife? How dare he attack us!"

"I am not even married yet!" Long Zhong hated Wen Wan very much at the moment. That bastard actually did such a thing to them. He was so young—not even thirty yet—and that mer actually sent him to die here! If this scheme of his succeeded, then wouldn't he, Long Zhong, , become an innocent scapegoat for no reason?

He did nothing wrong other than befriending Qi Yongrui!

Qi Yongrui was also silent

He never thought that the situation would escalate to this point. He then raised his head and looked at Gu Qinfan, who was munching on chocolate chip cookies and asked, "Is he alright then?"

"He is fine for the moment." Luo Huian turned to look at the mer who had finished the last bite of his cookies and then turned her head to look at Qi Yongrui before saying to him, "He is not dangerous for the time being, but that doesn't mean that you should provoke him."

When Qi Yongrui heard Luo Huian say that he shouldn't provoke Gu Qinfan, he was speechless. He couldn't help but say, "When did I provoke anyone?"

"You provoke me all the time, and you do it quite well," Luo Huian reminded him, and Qi Yongrui flushed red.

Seeing his flushed expression, Qi Yongrui was a bit amused. She even found him a bit cute; however, as soon as this thought came into her head, she stiffened. What in the world was wrong with her? Why was she calling this mer cute out of nowhere?

Luo Huian was flustered, and to hide her emotions, she looked at Qi Yongrui, who was still tied and sitting on the ground with a calm look in her eyes. She said to him, "I will be leaving for the time being. After all, I came here to catch the one behind the scheme. So…"

"So?"

"So you can only act as the bait." Luo Huian was wondering what kind of bait to use, but who would have thought that she would get ready-made bait waiting for her? Since that was the case, why shouldn't she use it?

"What?" Long Zhong, who was lying on the ground, looked up at Luo Huian and asked, "You are leaving us here?"

"There is no other choice." Luo Huian turned her head away from Qi Yongrui and looked at Long Zhong. Though this mer was also good-looking, he was not as good-looking as Qi Yongrui. She blinked her eyes, and her heartbeat calmed down a little.

She said to him, "If I take you away before, the person who is behind this project will hide even deeper. After all, your disappearance would alert not only the villagers but also the person in charge. Since that is the case, we have to leave you and Qi Yongrui alone here for the time being. Though you will have to suffer a little, it is for the greater good."

"Bah!" Long Zhong dropped his head and muttered angrily. "I really cannot be bothered by the so-called greater good." he wanted to get out of here. Even if Luo Huian said that it was alright, he didn't dare to trust a mer who was being used as a vessel for a Gloom.

Who knows if this mer might lose control, then they would be the ones who would die! It was easy for Luo Huian to say that they should wait, but how long were they supposed to wait?

Luo Huian knew what Long Zhong was thinking about. She rolled her eyes and said to him, "Don't think too much. It is not as serious as you think since the person behind this project wants it to succeed; they must be paying close attention to it."

"As long as something goes haywire, they will definitely come to examine the situation."

"And how do you know that?"

In response to Long Zhong's question, Luo Huian simply smiled.
