The little kid swished its tail, which was suspended above the water. It seemed to be very curious about Mo Heng’s mouth. Its large eyes, which were like black grapes, stared fixedly at his lips.
Mo Heng cleared his throat. These lips of his were ranked among the top three “Sexiest Male Lips in the World.”
This little mermaid was very perceptive.
However, in the next moment, he heard the little kid imitate him with much difficulty, enunciating word for word, “Whut iz yore nim…”
Every word was squeezed out of her plump lips. It was simply way too adorable.
Mo Heng couldn’t help but pinch its jelly-like cheeks. “I’m asking you a question. Why are you imitating me?”
The little thing tilted its head to the side and fixed its eyes on Mo Heng’s lips. “Ayem az-ging yoo a kwezcheon. Wai ah yoo eem-mee-dating mi?”
When she said this, her eyes shimmered as she waited for Mo Heng to praise her.
Mo Heng finally understood.
This little mermaid knew absolutely nothing. It didn’t even know how to speak. It was merely imitating him!
A hatchling recognizes the first thing it sees as its mother. This was exactly the same concept.
Ever since he was young, Mo Heng had never even reared goldfish, let alone a mermaid.
He impatiently lifted the little kid up.
The swimming pool in this villa was an infinity pool. The edge of the sea could be seen at a glance.
Mo Heng pointed toward the north, the south, the east, and the west as he asked the little kid, “Where did you come from? Point it out for Big Brother.”
Mo Heng had clumsily lifted the little kid up. Just as the kid was feeling happy, it suddenly realized that Mo Heng was pointing toward the sea. It instantly looked away and shook its head like a rattle drum, before burying its head into Mo Heng’s arms.
Mo Heng was confused.
He had picked up this little kid on the beach.
He assumed that it had probably swum over from a nearby ocean territory before being washed ashore.
Why didn’t she want to return to the sea?
Was she lost?
These two days of rest were hard to come by. He was here for a vacation and would soon be going back to work.
He couldn’t bring a little mermaid back with him, right?
Mo Heng didn’t know that the little mermaid could hear all his thoughts.
Her name was Tangtang, and she was the one and only precious Mermaid Princess in the entire ocean territory. She could hear a human’s inner musings and thoughts.
Although she didn’t understand the human language, she was intelligent and could guess what Mo Heng was thinking.
However, she’d put in so much effort to escape and play!
If she touched the ocean, her Royal Father and Royal Mother would immediately seize her!
If she could get on an airplane with Mo Heng and leave to a location far away from the sea, she wouldn’t need to worry about getting caught by her clan members!
As Tangtang thought about all this, she continued to cling on tightly to Mo Heng’s neck like a sticky bun, burying herself into his arms.
Apparently, humans and mermaids were actually so different.
Mermaids dwelled in the deep sea, so their bodies were optimized for streamline swimming, unlike humans, who had firm chests. Mo Heng’s well-defined pecks caused Tangtang’s little nose to hurt when she collided with his chest.
Having been traumatized by his bratty nephew, Mo Heng’s entire being was stiff and rigid. Every single cell in his body rejected the little girl.
He completely disliked children; he simply wanted to send this little mermaid away as soon as possible.
If that wasn’t possible, he would locate a scientific organization to send the little kid to.
However, would those scientific organizations dissect that jade-like thing for their experiments?
Tangtang quivered in Mo Heng’s arms.
At that moment, the doorbell rang from inside the villa.
Chen Qiong had arrived.
