My Mermaid Wife Is So Sweet

From birth, Gu Ke was found to have a 99.99% chance of differentiating into a mermaid.

A rare and fragile species.

Gu Ke was cherished by his parents and older brother. He grew up pampered, with everything going his way, and countless people doting on him.

Whatever he wanted, he could have. He was showered with love from every direction.

Fortunately, Gu Ke was gentle by nature, slow to react, and easygoing. He never became the least bit spoiled.

At twenty, to everyone's anticipation, Gu Ke unexpectedly did not differentiate into a mermaid.

--

His parents began demanding that, as the heir to the Gu family, he devote himself wholeheartedly to his responsibilities and stop acting soft and delicate, pouting and making a fuss like a mermaid.

But all Gu Ke wanted was to arrange flowers, play the piano, paint, and cook.

He started working.

Faced with endless tasks and social engagements, he spent every day so busy his head spun and his mind buzzed.

Gu Ke: Sad, but trying. He worked hard and diligently, yet he was still hopelessly bad at everything.

He went to his big brother for help, only to get scolded. Men weren't supposed to complain about being tired, say they couldn't do something, or admit they didn't know how. He had to learn on his own.

At last, one day, Gu Ke went to the business tycoon Jiang Hanbei with his questions.

Jiang Hanbei looked at Gu Ke's youthful face and fell into thought. A few seconds later, he said, "Say less, listen more, do more."

Gu Ke took those six words as his life's motto and followed them to the letter.

That is, until Jiang Hanbei got Gu Ke into bed--

Gu Ke: I cry in bed every day, qaq.

At last, he understood what Jiang Hanbei meant by listening less and doing more.

While the two of them were going at it passionately in bed,

Gu Ke, teary-eyed, cried that he was burning up. His whole body was hot. He wanted to push Jiang Hanbei away, but he had no strength at all.

The next second,

Jiang Hanbei watched in shock as the delicate beauty beneath him turned into a gorgeous mermaid, a rare species with a silver tail.

The tail smacked Jiang Hanbei's abs with a loud thwack.

The newly appointed CEO's mermaid differentiation was suddenly exposed. It was an unprecedented silver tail, and the media went wild. Countless admirers came rushing over, and his parents and big brother all showed up to take him home.

Jiang Hanbei pulled Gu Ke into his arms. "Sorry, he's mine."

Big Brother: My little Ke is a delicate mermaid. He can't be bumped or bruised. How could an old man like you possibly take good care of him?

Mermaid Gu Ke (blinking, thinking): But Big Brother, I think he's taking really good care of me!

Big Brother: ...

Gu's dad and mom: No, we won't allow it! Our sweet boy is so well-behaved. Come home, and you can do whatever you want! We'll even pluck the moon from the sky for you!

Mermaid Gu Ke: I don't want the moon. I only want Hanbei. Mom and Dad, didn't you say a mermaid needs to find a good partner to have a chance of laying a little mermaid egg?

Mermaid Gu Ke (earnestly, patting his chest): Hanbei is the best partner!

Gu's dad and mom: ...

His admirers: Little Ke, look at us! We truly adore you!

Mermaid Gu Ke: When I was twenty, didn't you say you didn't like me? (Confused, tilting his head.) Did I remember wrong?

His admirers: ...

Jiang Hanbei quietly took all the credit and hid away his soft, sweet mermaid wife.

This was his precious treasure.

Until the day they went to the hospital for a checkup and discovered that Gu Ke was carrying an egg.
