The sickly doctor's mermaid wife (7)
Jiang Ye looked at Wen Nanzhou in confusion, opened his thin lips and asked in a low voice, "What...what is it?"
"Prove to me that you will always be faithful."
The man's voice was cold and heavy, with a loud sound.
Wen Nanzhou bent down, and his thin lips lightly touched Jiang Ye's earlobe.
"Do you know what the title of Master means?"
"For pets, the word 'master' not only means obedience, but also loyalty."
Jiang Ye blinked unconsciously.
Like a confused little animal.
So silly and cute.
Wen Nanzhou chuckled, and his smile left a tingling sensation on Jiang Ye's earlobe.
But the next words he spoke were cold, overbearing and completely inhumane.
"Just like a dog owner, he won't remove the dog's collar until he is sure the dog is loyal. If you don't want to keep calling me master..."
"You must prove your absolute loyalty to your master."
The little mermaid's heart felt as if it were filled with lead, and it felt so heavy that it kept falling.
In Wen Nanzhou's eyes...
Is his significance not much different from that of a dog?
Her long, thick eyelashes drooped gently, and the light in her beautiful ice-blue eyes gradually dimmed.
I can't help feeling sad.
The pitiful look of the little mermaid, as if she was injured, inexplicably hurt Wen Nanzhou's eyes and made him feel a little bit reluctant.
But the next moment, Wen Nanzhou heard a voice that Jiang Ye had never thought of.
"Prove your loyalty to your master..."
Jiang Ye lowered his eyebrows, revealed a faint bitter smile, and said in a hoarse voice,
“This is too hard. I can’t do it.”
He could allow himself to please Wen Nanzhou, but he couldn't show his loyalty to his master like a pet dog.
When Wen Nanzhou heard Jiang Ye say that he could not prove his loyalty to him, his pupils froze for a moment, as if frozen by ice, and then shattered into pieces.
The smile gradually began to take on a hint of sarcasm.
Wen Nanzhou stood up straight and coldly withdrew his gaze from Jiang Ye.
The voice became colder.
"If you can't prove your absolute loyalty to me, don't bring up what you just said again."
"What a clueless fellow."
After saying this coldly, Wen Nanzhou took out a skin-friendly disinfectant from the medicine box in front of Jiang Ye as if nothing had happened.
Then he poured disinfectant on his hands.
It was the hand that had just treated Jiang Ye's wound.
Wen Nanzhou scrubbed his fingers carefully in front of Jiang Ye.
That look seemed to be silently telling him that Jiang Ye made him feel very dirty.
After the disinfection was completed, Wen Nanzhou glanced at Jiang Ye casually.
Jiang Ye, who was lying on the bed, did not look well. He bit his lips silently and gently, as if he was enduring something, his slender white fingers tightly grasping the quilt.
The knuckles gradually turned white.
Wen Nanzhou felt a little better.
A kind of vengeful joy slowly rises.

Wen Nanzhou followed closely and walked out of the room soon after.
Jiang Ye lay on the soft bed with his head buried all the time. Only when he heard the footsteps fade away and the sound of the door closing did he slowly raise his head.
Looking at the direction Wen Nanzhou left, Jiang Ye frowned.
She said unhappily, "Wen Nanzhou is so annoying."
Every time, when he thought the relationship between them could go a step further, Wen Nanzhou would push him away in various ways.
Every time he wanted to hug Wen Nanzhou, Wen Nanzhou seemed to turn into a cactus covered with thorns.
He is always belittled.
This time, they even called him a pet dog and compared him with a pet dog.
[Host, please be understanding... Some people are just like this. If you treat them nicely, they will just stand up and show their thorns.]
[Because no one has ever been nice to them before. So when faced with sudden kindness, they may show more indifference and sharpness...]
[But you have to believe that their hearts are slowly softening.]
After hearing what Xiaoju said, Jiang Ye sneered,
"Humph, it's all just chicken soup for self-consolation."
Wen Nanzhou is a person who is as tough as a brick.
He used a kitchen knife to scrape off the scales on his tail. It hurt so much that he could only curl up in a corner of the kitchen.
But what about Wennanzhou——
But he threw his scales to the ground without hesitation, as if throwing away some insignificant garbage.
That is the most precious thing he has.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ye felt extremely uncomfortable. He buried his head in the quilt and said nothing.
As if he fell asleep.
＊
＊
It was getting dark.
The reason why Wen Nanzhou left the room was because he didn't want to face the Little Mermaid...
The little mermaid who would not show absolute loyalty to her master.
Another reason is that it's time to prepare dinner.
Wen Nanzhou does not accept living under the same roof with other people, and he certainly does not like to interact with others. Therefore, his family does not hire any maids, and he does everything by himself.
Including cooking.
The gloomy-looking man walked into the kitchen.
As soon as he walked into the kitchen, Wen Nanzhou remembered what happened in the kitchen before.
The little mermaid curled up in the corner of the kitchen, her face pale and blood still flowing from her legs...
Wen Nanzhou's expression changed slightly.
He lowered his eyes and found the fish scale he had thrown on the kitchen floor.
The fish scales were a gradient of silver and blue, with a stream of light floating on the surface, dazzling and beautiful, but there were some blood stains on the edges, making it look bloody and fragile.
Mermaids pluck their own scales with their own hands, just as humans pluck off small pieces of their own skin with their own hands.
Wen Nanzhou's long eyelashes trembled. After a while, he bent down and picked up the beautiful scales from the floor.
The man took the fish scales to the sink and slowly and carefully washed the blood off the scales.
After washing them clean, Wen Nanzhou put the scales into his own pocket.
"Stupid guy...

After Wen Nanzhou finished cooking dinner, he returned to his room.
The room was quiet. The little mermaid lying on his bed seemed to have fallen asleep. She was motionless and silent.
He approached the bed, and the narrow eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses looked towards Jiang Ye.
Jiang Ye was lying on the bed with his eyes tightly closed. His long eyelashes were motionless, and he looked as beautiful as a painting.
However, the corners of the little mermaid's eyes are red.
It looks like the traces left after shedding tears.
Wen Nanzhou pursed his thin lips into a cold, straight line.
He stretched out his hand, and his bony fingers slowly touched Jiang Ye's cheek.
The fingertips lightly brushed the corner of Jiang Ye's eyes.
Such a gentle movement was like the fluttering of feathers. Jiang Ye, who was sleeping, suddenly pouted his lips and made a humming sound or two.
Soon——
The little mermaid's long, thick eyelashes trembled twice, and Jiang Ye opened his eyes.
When I closed my eyes, I saw Wen Nanzhou's face very close to me.
The confused eyes suddenly regained clarity.
"Master, Master..."
He had previously told Wen Nanzhou that he would not call him master anymore, but the negotiation failed, so Jiang Ye was very sensible and called Wen Nanzhou a title that should satisfy him.
Wen Nanzhou withdrew his fingers expressionlessly.
He straightened up and sat on the edge of the bed as if nothing had happened.
"I don't think I gave you permission to sleep in my bed."
Although he said this, Wen Nanzhou clearly did not intend to settle accounts with Jiang Ye. He continued,
"Dinner is on the table in the living room. Come and eat."
The tone was extremely cold.
It was as if he let Jiang Ye eat just to prevent his pet from starving to death.
Without any emotion mixed in.
Jiang Ye was unwilling to be sentimental, so after climbing down from the bed, he said hello to Wen Nanzhou and walked into the room.
＊
＊
Jiang Ye went to the living room.
There were three dishes and a soup on the dining table in the living room. Two of the dishes were vegetarian, and the other was stir-fried pork with green peppers.
Looking at the pieces of meat on the plate, Jiang Ye was stunned.
This is...meat?
He can actually eat meat?!
While having breakfast this morning, Wen Nanzhou said that he could only make conditions if he pleased him.
So, there are meat dishes for dinner, is it because he has flattered Wen Nanzhou?
Thinking of this, Jiang Ye pursed his lips.
Forget it, Wen Nanzhou has already thrown the fish scales from his tail onto the ground, and they might be lying in the trash can in the kitchen now...
The reason why there was meat for dinner was probably because Wen Nanzhou himself wanted to eat it, so he took advantage of it.
[Host, you are wrong... Your fish scales were picked up by Wen Nanzhou.]
[He also cleaned your fish scales and carefully hid them away, so don't worry.]
Hearing what Xiaoju said, Jiang Ye's eyes changed.
The gloomy emotions in my heart seemed to have dissipated a lot.
Xiaoju continued, "Besides, the reason there is meat for dinner is not because Mr. Wen wants to eat it. Mr. Wen has not eaten meat for many years..."
"Is he a vegetarian?" Jiang Ye couldn't help but ask.
[No... vegetarians just don't eat meat. But Wen Nanzhou hates meat. He will vomit if he eats meat, and even feels sick when he sees meat.]
What Xiao Zhidai said was not an exaggeration at all.
Jiang Ye pursed his lips, lowered his brows, and suddenly thought of Wen Nanzhou's past.
When Wen Nanzhou was very young, he witnessed his father, a psychopathic man, dissecting more than a dozen corpses in front of him.
Blood was shed.
The corpse was broken down into countless pieces of flesh.
This unbearable past will surely leave a permanent psychological shadow on people.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ye was thoughtful. He asked quietly,
"So, this stir-fried pork with green peppers is made especially for me...?"
This seems to be the only explanation.
Little Daisy had seen through everything. [I told you before, Mr. Wen is cold on the outside but warm on the inside...]
[After you said you wanted to eat meat this morning, he went to the supermarket to buy meat. Do you know how much he hates meat? He used to avoid the meat section when he went to the supermarket.]
But Wen Nanzhou not only bought the meat, he also cooked it himself.
He had already done all this for Jiang Ye before he knew that Jiang Ye had removed the scales for him.
It is not easy to overcome your own psychological and physical aversions.
Looking at the food on the table, Jiang Ye suddenly felt mixed emotions.
——So, is Wen Nanzhou really not as cold-blooded and heartless as he appears to be?
Wen Nanzhou compared him to a pet dog today...
Isn't it not so annoying anymore?
