The Tycoon’s Enchanted Mermaid

Chapter 108: Chapter 108: The Fish That Likes Being Stroked

Qin Yu fell silent for a moment before speaking, “If you wanted to come, why didn’t you just tell me?”

Was he locking her up, or what? Did she really need to sneak around like a thief?

Qin Yu really wanted to lift her up and spank her. She was the only one who could infuriate him to this extent every single time.

“I know it was wrong; I should have told you beforehand.” Ah Da clasped her fingers together, forming a fist near her mouth, looking pitifully, “Qin Yu, I was confused for a moment, you can scold me all you want; I definitely won’t talk back.”

After finishing, she closed her eyes, assuming a posture ready to be punished.

Qin Yu, feeling helpless, found what she said rather appealing. Was he not aware of his own personality?

Even a slightly harsh word could provoke her to nag for a long time. If he scolded her, she would start shedding tears—absolutely unbearable.

“Forget it then, lest you plot against me in your heart and call me the biggest villain in the world.”

Qin Yu snorted softly and spoke indifferently.

A blush rose on Ah Da’s cheeks. How did Qin Yu understand her so well!

In front of Qin Yu, it was unclear whether she was recklessly bold or audaciously fearless. Subconsciously, she felt that Qin Yu would only tease her a bit and wouldn’t seriously get angry with her.

It seemed to be true indeed; Qin Yu was very indulgent with her, except on certain specific occasions when he would be quite strict and domineering.

The man withdrew his gaze, replaced his coat over the back of the chair, and resumed working with his pen.

Ah Da bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, then walked over to the telephone to avoid disturbing his work.

The office desk was large and bright. Ah Da could see her reflection by looking down. The only sound filling the room was the scratching of the pen on paper, creating a quietly oppressive atmosphere.

Qin Yu’s peripheral vision caught the tiny figure slumping her head, leaning on the phone cord, looking as small and dejected as a drenched cat.

Being as timid as she was tiny, occasionally she would steal a glance at him to see if he was angry, then continue to hang her head.

Qin Yu asked indifferently,

“Have you shrunk because there’s a problem with your body?”

Ah Da suddenly looked up, her clear eyes slightly watery and aggrieved, she shook her head,

“No, I shrunk myself using Spiritual Power.”

Qin Yu raised an eyebrow, “So you can change back whenever you want?”

Ah Da, with her pitch-black pupils earnestly replied, “Of course, I can.”

To prove her current abilities were very strong, Ah Da directly demonstrated it to him.

Qin Yu’s expression changed slightly, and before he could stop her, a flash of white light swept by, and suddenly a little girl appeared on the smooth, clean desk. Her delicate little face and long black hair moved with no wind, her entire form enveloped in a faint glow.

Originally standing on the desk, her body expanded, and she ended up sitting on the edge, her legs hanging over Qin Yu’s knees.

The light from the floor-to-ceiling windows shone on her skin, giving it a translucent and tender appearance. Qin Yu averted his gaze and reached back to grab the coat from the chair and draped it over her.

Ah Da hadn’t finished transforming when the oversized coat came crashing down from above, completely blocking her view, leaving her dazedly reaching up to pull the coat off her head.

Qin Yu frowned, grabbed her delicate wrist, and said, “Did you forget that your clothes would tear when you grow?”

Huddled under the coat, Ah Da muffled, “I didn’t forget. My dress grew with me too; just look if you don’t believe me.”

Qin Yu’s gaze fell on her legs dangling from the edge of the desk, indeed covered by a tender green skirt.

Ah Da was annoyed that Qin Yu doubted her current abilities, feeling incredibly wronged.

Once the grip on her wrist loosened, Ah Da immediately yanked the suit coat from her head and tossed it aside, puffing up before the tall man in front of her and said,

“Now you see, don’t you?”

The little girl was wearing a tender green dress, embracing her exquisite figure, delicate as a newly blossomed flower.

Her long hair was black and dense, slightly frizzy due to her recent movements, with strands by her ears slightly curling up as if trembling gently, giving her a playful and cute appearance.

“See?”

Qin Yu, with a faint smile in his eyes, raised his hand to touch her head, smoothing down her hair in the process.

Ah Da, because of his small gesture and the slight warmth in his gaze, felt completely pampered. The cool fingers brushing past her ears gradually warmed them, giving her a feeling of comfort mixed with nervousness.

She was easily pacified and cheered up.

Qin Yu’s fingers wove through her soft hair, his gaze inevitably falling on the little girl who emitted a fruity fragrance.

The little girl was wearing a dress, revealing her entire fair and plump shoulders. Looking forward, her delicate collarbones were visible, and several strands of hair mischievously hung over her full chest, enhancing her slender waist, barely a handful.

Skin smooth as jade—and that was probably an apt description.

Qin Yu awkwardly shifted his gaze again, picking up the coat and draping it over her, his voice growing husky.

“The air conditioning is cold, keep the coat on.”

Ah Da caught the collar and tilted her head, puzzled, “But I don’t feel cold.”

Qin Yu always seemed to forget she wasn’t human. She never felt cold or fell ill.

Ah Da really wanted to knock on his head and ask if his memory was poor, but she could only think about it. Risking plucking hairs from a tiger’s head was too dangerous to try.

Under Qin Yu’s stern gaze, Ah Da tightened the coat on her shoulders and conceded,

“I’ll just wear it.”

Don’t look at me like that.

The coat was too large for her, wrapping her upper body completely, leaving only her little head exposed.

The most damning thing was that at the moment, she was sitting on the table, her skirt curled up under her just covering her small buttocks.

Her two bare legs dangled, her feet uncovered, making one think at first glance that she wore only the coat with nothing underneath.

“Where are your shoes?”

Qin Yu, with a pearl necklace glistening, spread his fingers wide, firmly gripped her bare feet, and asked coldly.

The little girl disliked wearing shoes, and Qin Yu had said more than once that the floor was cold, especially at Wuqiong Water Pavilion.

It was nothing but her taking his comments lightly due to her unusual constitution, which somewhat irked Qin Yu.

Ah Da, startled, tried to pull her foot back but couldn’t budge. Her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, she pointed to her pocket, “The shoes are there, inside. I just forgot to wear them when I came out.”

Qin Yu let go of her feet, picked up the clothes expressionlessly, and shook the pockets a few times.

A pair of tiny pink and white shoes fell out, not even the size of a fingernail, probably could be blown away with a slightly stronger breath.

Qin Yu fell silent, his brows furrowed.

Ah Da felt awkward and quickly used magic to enlarge the shoes, grabbing them in her hands in a fluster.

Qin Yu stood up, not saying a word, and picked her up along with the coat, striding toward the lounge.

He carried her in a way one would a child, her petite frame pressed closely against his broad chest, intimately tight.

Ah Da, small in stature, saw Qin Yu’s height of one meter ninety like a towering mountain. Her bare legs hung beside his large thigh, her arms naturally wrapping around his neck.

“Qin Yu…”

Ah Da was just about to ask where he was taking her when the sound of a “click” came from the direction of the door.

Qin Yu stopped, and Ah Da also turned her head to look.

They saw a man standing at the door, wearing a floral shirt and a gray coat, his eyes wide open staring at the two people inside the office, his jaw almost dropping to the floor in shock.
