07. We got our marriage certificate.
"Here's fifty million star coins, leave my brother Xi." Nellisa crossed her arms, feeling truly kind, letting the other party go and giving them fifty million star coins in return.
"That's all you're worth."
Xie Shiyu looked at her calmly and listened to her speak, then smiled slightly.
"Sorry, but my net worth is 3 billion star coins." Xie Shiyu leaned against the floating wheelchair, her tail swaying back and forth, her slender fingers twirling the ends of her hair.
At this moment, Xie Shiyu had completely lost the innocent and charming demeanor she had in front of Xi Zhengyu.
She was like a captivating fox spirit, elegant yet haughty.
In comparison, Nellisa appears particularly rude.
"You think you can get rid of me with fifty million star coins? What are you thinking?" Xie Shiyu said with a smile. She controlled the hovering wheel to come in front of Nelisa, her sapphire-like eyes looking at her, and spoke softly.
“I’m beautiful and pretty, and not only that, my fertility is higher than yours. Xi Zhengyu was able to spend a fortune to buy me and get a marriage certificate with me. No matter what kind of seductive tricks he uses, I’ve won. Don’t you think so, Miss Nelisa?”
After Xie Shiyu finished speaking, she looked at her with a provocative gaze.
Nellisa, who has been pampered since childhood, has never suffered like this before. Because of her cute appearance, netizens on StarNet are very tolerant of her.
Today, however, I was provoked by a wild mermaid. Her status was not as noble as mine, and she had nothing to offer except for her appearance.
"I am Mrs. Xi, and I have a marriage certificate," Xie Shiyu stated the facts.
These words further provoked Nelissa, who had been pursuing Xi Zhengyu for five years, confessing her feelings countless times, only to be met with ruthless rejection.
She could accept being rejected, as long as Xi Zhengyu was still single, there was still a chance for her.
But Xi Zhengyu has now gotten his marriage certificate, and it's with a wild mermaid, a mermaid who is inferior to her in every way.
This action was an insult to her.
Nellisa was provoked, and her spoiled, fiery temper flared up instantly.
She raised her hand and slapped Xie Shiyu across the face, then tilted her head slightly and said, "What are you so smug about? Brother Xi might just be marrying you to have a baby. You really think you're something special?"
Xie Shiyu raised her hand to touch her swollen cheek, then chuckled and continued, "I got my marriage certificate with Xi Zhengyu."
“So what if we got the marriage certificate? We can still get a divorce!” Nellisa retorted.
“But we got our marriage certificate and even met each other’s parents,” Xie Shiyu continued.
"So what if you got the marriage certificate? So what if you met my parents? You're just a breeding machine!"
“We got our marriage certificate.” Xie Shiyu looked at her and said with a smile, “But you didn’t, and that’s my reason for being proud.”
Nelisa could no longer take it and screamed, "Aaaaaah—you bitch!"
She cursed under her breath: "Go to hell!"
Seeing her exasperated expression, Xie Shiyu smiled even more smugly, "Robot, show the guest out!"
After saying that, she maneuvered her floating wheelchair back to the second floor. Nellisa, who was furious with her, shouted at her back, "You just wait, you bitch, don't think you're so great just because you got a marriage certificate!"
Xie Shiyu ignored her harsh words and instead raised her hand to touch her slapped face. She hadn't retaliated yet.
It's still uncertain who will wait for whom.
At noon, the robot brought Xie Shiyu some food and handed her the video call that had already been connected.
"The master's video."
Xie Shiyu was eating dried fish when she heard this, so she immediately dived underwater and didn't come out.
Upon seeing this scene in the video, Xi Zhengyu frowned and called out, "Shiyu, come out."
A deep, resonant voice rose from the depths of the water: "No."
"Why?"
"No means no," Xie Shiyu replied, her tone tinged with displeasure.
Hearing that she was unhappy, Xi Zhengyu frowned.
He's not home. What happened that made her so unhappy?
Why did the little mermaid hide from him?
Xi Zhengyu couldn't understand, so he could only say in a deep, seductive voice, "Come out of the water, good boy."
Hearing the coaxing voice from underwater, Xie Shiyu thought for a moment and said, "No."
Seeing that this wouldn't work, Xi Zhengyu pinched the bridge of his nose. He was already tired from the long journey, and he thought that she wouldn't be used to being all alone at home.
As a result, he had to hide when making a video call, which made Xi Zhengyu somewhat unhappy.
His voice became stern: "Come out, don't make me say it a third time."
Hearing Xi Zhengyu's tone, Xie Shiyu slowly swam up from the water and appeared on the screen with half of her face swollen from being hit.
Xi Zhengyu, who had been wearing a cold expression and seemed rather displeased, was taken aback when he saw the little mermaid's face.
"What's wrong with your face!" Xi Zhengyu's voice became tense.
Xie Shiyu covered her face, lowered her head, and didn't dare to look at the screen when faced with Xi Zhengyu's question.
After stammering for a while, Xie Shiyu finally said, "I accidentally fell and that's how I got like this."
Hearing this flawed explanation, Xi Zhengyu laughed in exasperation.
Does this silly mermaid think he's stupid?
Seeing Xi Zhengyu's increasingly grim expression on the screen, Xie Shiyu whispered, "Don't be angry... okay?"
"Tell me the truth, what happened?" Xi Zhengyu rubbed his temples, feeling extremely irritated, especially when he saw the bright red handprint on her fair cheek.
This silly fish, she didn't even think to give it an ice pack. I really don't know how an adult lives.
Xie Shiyu shook her head and quickly waved her hand, "Nothing happened. Did you just arrive? Are you tired? Have you eaten?" Xie Shiyu quickly changed the subject.
Seeing that she was unwilling to talk, Xi Zhengyu tapped his index finger on the table again and again.
If that's the case, then go and look it up yourself.
"I ate, and I'm not very tired," Xi Zhengyu replied simply.
After that, Xie Shiyu started talking non-stop, telling him everything she had done.
Finally, he pushed over a transparent hemispherical object, rummaged through it, and found dried fish and other seafood, saying, "This doesn't taste good. This smells awful, it's stinky."
"Xi Zhengyu, none of the food you bought for me is good." Xie Shiyu pouted, looking unhappy. "It tastes awful."
This is Xi Zhengyu's first time raising a mermaid, and he bought these snacks based on recommendations from netizens.
He said that even his mermaid wife loves to eat it, and it's in the top ten in the polls.
So you don't like any of his Little Mermaid dishes?
Xi Zhengyu was puzzled, but still replied, "If it doesn't taste good, don't eat it. I'll have someone buy you a new one."
Upon hearing this, Xie Shiyu swam back towards the seashell bed.
Next to the seashell bed was a large waterproof cabinet, which Xie Shiyu used to store her personal belongings.
She opened the pink cabinet and took out a book. Holding it above her head, she swam to the side, and once in front of the screen, she opened the book, pointed to the beautiful seashells and large pearls on it, and said, "I want these two!"
