Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

Chapter 876: Liu Hai's most handsome side

A hard smack landed right on top of Liu Hai's head. "What doctor? What evil plot? I don't need somebody's evil plans to leave you. You yourself are enough to make me go mad!"

"Ah my delicate heart…" Liu Hai clutched his chest. "That stung a lot, Chunhua!"

"That much stinging is nothing compared to all the troubles you give me! What is this running out of home? You aren't a teenager and on top of that, you dare ruin Yating and Chyou's date!"

Chyou quickly said, "No, no, Grandma, he wasn't being a bother-"

"Yes he was extremely being a bother to my date so I am glad you came," Yating smiled dangerously.

Chyou - "..."

She wanted to protest but for some reason thought that it was prudent not to. Yating gave off similar vibes as Liu Chunhua.

Ai touched her chin. "It's fun to be with Grandpa though."

Chyou nodded hard.

Liu Hai shone. "Isn't it?"

Ai felt a poke on her shoulder and she looked back to see her husband descended in the form of a demon with the background behind him turning as dark as hell.

"Uh huh, very fun, isn't it?"

Ai scooter a little closer to Liu Chunhua's side and quietly averted her gaze.

Grandma, you must protect me!

Liu Hai cried. "Don't say such cruel things, Chunhua! I will die if you leave me…"

"You are already dying with the food you are eating!" She glared ferociously. "This is poison to your health now, yet you keep running after food like a stubborn child!"

"It's not poison, that doctor is fooling you!"

"He is not fooling anybody. You just want to continue being blind!"

"I am not being blind! What other choice do I have if you and everyone restrict me from eating anything?" He courageously fought back.

Jun grimaced.

That courage will not be taking you too far Grandpa…

Liu Chunhua grabbed his ear and twisted it so hard that he exclaimed with extreme pain. "Ah, ah, owwwww!!!"

Chyou and Ai looked horrified. Ai promptly withdrew her steps and scooted back to Jun's side for safety.

"Have anything to say, Mrs. Liu?" He sneered.

She coughed. "You must protect me."

"Heh."

Liu Chunhua rumbled akin to a deadly lightning threatening to strike the world. "So you mean to say that you are fine with kicking the bucket and leaving me to become a widow?"

"Huh? When did I say that!?"

She pressed his ear further. "You eating all this junk is an admission of that only, you fool!"

"But you know very well that I cannot live without food just as much as I cannot live without you!" He cried. "It's so hard to see everybody else eating all the good stuff but only me who has to hold back, huhu…"

Yating thought that this could be the end of Liu Hai's life at the hands of his wife but to his surprise, the black fumes spitting Liu Chunhua quietened down.

"I know…" she trembled. "I know how much you love eating. Isn't it why I am trying so hard to cook for you, you idiot!"

Liu Hai tilted his head. "Hm?"

She suddenly burst into tears and left everybody shocked.

"..."

"Grandma! Don't cry!" Ai and Chyou tried to console her.

Jun sighed and shook his head.

"Ch-Chunhua!" Liu Hai jumped up, panicked and made funny faces to make her laugh. "Haha see clown Haihai coming up on stage! Which funny face do you want to see? Do you want to see me imitating that cold Jinhai? Or should I show how Jian looks like a squirrel when he stuffs up his cheeks? Or Nian acting like an idiot, haha?"

She looked up at his ever so bright and shining demeanor. "I know how much you love food, you idiot! Isn't that why I love you so much? You are the most handsome to me when you heartily eat. I have…I have always adored that sight of you eating to your heart's content. You look so happy and free.

That's why, when you don't get to eat what you want, it's me who feels the saddest of all. Because I know how much it hurts you! So…" she sniffled, "So I have been trying to learn and change some recipes where you can eat the food you like so much and at the time are not harmful for your health either…"

Liu Hai blinked rapidly.

"But I didn't tell you because I wasn't sure if I could really do it…You look so forward to eating and if I failed, it would only disappoint you. Until then, I have no choice but to restrict you because I don't want you to die, you idiot! You want me to live a lonely life without-"

He gave a gentle tug to her back and pulled her in his embrace. For Jun, it was the very first time that he was witnessing an expression on his grandfather's face that he had never seen before.

Liu Hai was a very doting husband but in front of others, it was always mixed up with his goofiness. But right now, his black eyes smiled warmly and beautifully without a tinge of mischief in it.

"Aish, so this is what my wife was hiding. I thought you were keeping something from me. But I was being an idiot like you said. I always want to be the most handsome man to you, Chunhua. So I thought if I stop eating and become all frail and thin and weak, then you wouldn't like me anymore. You like me the most when I eat, right?

I know. That's why I eat because it makes you so happy," he grinned, patting her head.

She bit her lip hard with tears spilling on his shirt. "It won't make me happy if it makes you sick!"

"I won't get sick, silly. I promise I take good care of my health. Of course, I don't want to die and let other hungry beasts eye my beautiful wife."

Her eyes reddened. "I am too old to be eyed by men now…"

"But still beautiful as a Goddess," he chuckled. "Like I always say, men are beasts. You must always be cautious."

"You are also a man."

His lips curved into a hearty grin and he lifted her chin to drop a gentle kiss on her lips.

"Yes and I am the only beast allowed to have you."
