Chapter 413 You are amazing Hua Hua
A/n: I had an arrange meeting I am too tired to write too chapter because honestly getting married is like rowing a boat in lava." Ahaha, Are you saying that Xiao Hua was playing a prank on you?" said Yu Dong as she laughed at the explanation that Gu Ke Xin has just given her, she chuckled appreciatively and then looked at Gu Ke Jin and Xiao Hua who was looking at her guiltily as if they were caught having an affair. She stared at their expression that was full of shame and guilt before a smile broke over her face, "It's all right, if there is something that's going on then you guys can tell me, it's not like I have stopped my staff from dating——" she didn't even get a chance to complete what she was saying when Gu Ke Xin and Xiao Hua shouted …
" No, we don't have anything going on between us, I swear on my life!"
" That's right, I was just pulling a prank. There is nothing going on between her and me!" When Xiao Hua said that Gu Ke Xin who has refused turned her head and glared at him with an unheard growl rumbling in her chest causing him to look away at once, it was funny given that she was so half his size but he was scared of her as if she was really going to beat the crap out of him.
He swallowed hard and then turned his head to look at Yu Dong with a smile as he said, " I was just teasing her and nothing more."
He didn't know why but he didn't want Yu Dong to misunderstand which was simply ridiculous, given that he was trying to get his mind off her. How was he supposed to get his mind off her if he was going to feel like he was cheating on her every time he got together with a woman, but if he tried to get close to Yu Dong then he will feel guilty given that he was sort of friends —- no, not friends, more like acquaintances who only got together time to time.
Anyway, what should he call this feeling?
Xiao Hua was confused but Gu Ke Jin wasn't, she has been idolising Yu Dong ever since she saw her Yu Dong taking care of the mammies when she was confronting mommy Jiang. It was her dream to get close to her idol and that was the only reason she came here to work, if not her family was already more than capable enough to get by even if she didn't work and with her talents, she could have gotten another better job than a manager but —-
Yu Dong was her love! She was her idol and she would rather work at a bar which wasn't half as big as the shop she quit working in because it has Yu Dong! Her amazing idol!

" I am done with the account books for last month, Miss Dong and I am sure that I will be done with this month as well, you don't have to worry about it at all!"
Yu Dong saw her excitement and smiled before ruffling Gu Ke Xin's hair and said, " But the month is still going what account book are you going to make, huh Ke Jin?"
" I will just make one for fifteen days so that it will be easier for Master Chi to take a look at, isn't that nice? With less work, he didn't have to stress so much especially when he is with a child!"
" Aren't you really sweet?" Yu Dong patted Gu Ke Jin's head and Xiao Hua who was watching this happen from the sidelines felt like his heart was going to get heartburn or something. Why was it that Gu Ke Jin got to enjoy Yu Dong's praise? He wanted it too! However, what was he supposed to say to get Yu Dong's praise? What was he supposed to say? The more he tried to think about what he has been doing in the bar the more he realised that all he has done was
—1) Gossip
—2) Perform a song or two
—3) More Gossip.
He clutched his head as he finally understood that apart from gossiping with the aristocratic mers, he has done nothing of the sort to be praised! But he wanted the praise and so he was going to take it!
With that thought in his head, he turned around and then looked at Yu Dong who was still talking with Gu Ke Jin before he bumped Gu Ke Jin aside much to Yu Dong's surprise and Gu Ke Jin's dismay as he placed his hands on his waist and brazenly announced, " I want to get praised as well, so do it."
" Do what?" asked Yu Dong a bit surprised with the rhythm that Xiao Hua has picked and was now asking her to pick it up too.
" Praise me!" repeated Xiao Hua with a stubborn expression causing Yu Dong to blink her eyes in confusion. No, she heard it the first time but for what reason should she praise Xiao Hua? He hasn't done anything that was different from what he does in everything.
But then she noticed his expression that was quite similar to Yu Mai and little bun who wanted something and would act as unprincipled if they didn't get it, so she smiled and raised her hand before patting Xiao Hua's head in both confusion and amusement. " You have done a good job for…" she did not know what to say so she went with the one thing that came to her mind. " For looking pretty today as well."
Just like that Xiao Hua who was praised was really happy as he beamed and then walked away satisfied.
Once he was gone, Yu Dong couldn't help but comment, " Honestly, I don't know what goes in his head all the time."
Gu Ke Jin who sort of had an inkling just narrowed her eyes and said, " Just ignore him, Miss Dong… his brains seemed to have cracked."
------------
Yu Dong looked at Gu Ke Jin who still looked a bit upset with what happened. " Are you still upset with what just happened?"
Gu Ke Jin sniffed haughtily and turned to look at her before saying, " Why will I be upset? It's not like he called me pretty and then tried to forcefully tried to kiss me!"

" Anyway, forget about that stupid mer, Miss Yu, what are you doing here?" asked Gu Ke Jin as she looked at Yu Dong and asked with a smile. " You don't usually come here during the middle of the week, what brought this surprise?"
"It's nothing," said Yu Dong with a smile as she turned to look at Gu Ke Jin. " I told you that I am looking for a storefront for selling the strawberries? Lady Song sent one of her busgirls and asked me to come to the town, she seemed to have talked to the owner of the house that's on Main Street and fixed a meeting with them for me, so she asked me to stay at the bar since the owner will be arriving in a few hours. So, since I was coming to the bar already, I thought why not come and look for you guys, I just didn't expect to see such an exciting scene upon arriving nothing else."
" Please don't mention that," said Gu Ke Jin as she held her hand up and stopped Yu Dong from mentioning the scene from earlier anymore. " I would like to forget about it as soon as I can if you don't mind, Miss Dong."
Yu Dong chuckled as she patted Gu Ke Jin on the shoulder as she walked past her and said, " All right I won't, just make sure that once the guests arrive send them straight to my office, okay?"
" Don't worry, Miss Yu." Gu Ke Jin patted her head as she smiled back at Yu Dong and said, " I will make sure to treat our guests with utmost respect and cordiality."
" You are really amazing, you know that Ke Jin?"
Xiao Hua watched the conversation between the two and gritted his teeth. Why was it that Gu Ke Jin was sucking up to Yu Dong so much that it was so annoying to watch and what did Yu Dong mean by saying that ' Gu Ke Jin was amazing?' How was she amazing? She was just doing her job!
What was there to praise and why?
He stared at the two for a long time and every time Yu Dong praised Gu Ke Jin, he would imagine himself instead of Gu Ke Jin and then sigh in contentment. It would have been so good if Yu Dong was skimming her finger in his hair and saying —- ' You are amazing Hua Hau."
