Upon hearing him, Liu Duo cast a glance at Ye Liu, who had a smile on his face.

She felt that there was a slight depression underneath that smiling expression of his.

Liu Duo frowned slightly as a response. She felt a bit upset in her heart. It was like she had done something wrong by not thinking about the three of them.

The anger the two of them provoked out of her instantly disappeared.

“I won’t do that again, okay!?” Liu Duo gripped Ye Liu’s hand back.

Ye Liu smiled even more happily when he heard her. The depression also disappeared.

He held Liu Duo’s small hand, placed it near his mouth and gave it a kiss. “Little Duo, you need to do what you say! If you aren’t by our side, you have to always be thinking about us. We will also be always thinking about you.”

“Okay. I said it and I will do it.” Liu Duo nodded and answered earnestly.

Ye Mo looked at how harmonious the two were and felt like he was a clown who was being treated like air. Although he was dissatisfied, he didn’t continue to shout. He only silently got up and left.

Just now, he had seen Liu Duo tremble when she was frightened by his shouting. He was angry at himself. Why did he act so impulsively again?

He had definitely made her unhappy again!

Ye Liu looked at his younger brother’s back and it looked very sad and lonely. He said to Liu Duo, “Little Duo, Mo didn’t purposefully shout at you. It’s just that he missed you for an entire day but you were chatting happily with another man. You even called him using a much more friendly term, so he felt upset and jealous! I actually also feel a bit jealous.”

When Liu Duo heard what he said, she turned her head and looked at Ye Mo, who was walking out of the yard.

She muttered in her heart, Jealous? This impulsive, tyrannical, childish fella also knows how to get jealous? What a surprise.

“I hate vinegar the most. Since you also ate vinegar than get away from me and stop letting me smell it!” [1]

Liu Duo pretended she could smell a heavy vinegar scent and even pinched her nose and used her hand like a fan to fan the surrounding air.

When Ye Liu heard her, he laughed and used his hand to flick her head. “You heartless person. Not only did you not try to coax us after we got jealous about you, you even shooed us away. So detestable.”

“That’s right. I am a detestable person. What are you going to do about it?” Liu Duo lifted her clean fair chin, looking extremely proud. That expression made Ye Liu smile even brighter.

Ye Liu laughed. “I don’t dare to do anything to Little Duo, for you are our household’s overlord and goddess of wealth. We have to listen to you no matter what. You can hit us or scold us and we won’t retaliate. Little Duo can oppress us anyway she likes!”

He really emphasized the word ‘oppress,’ making the hidden meaning behind the word obvious.

In response to this guy acting flippantly again, Liu Duo rolled her eyes at him while red in the face. She then got up and walked towards Ye Mo.

This was the first time he saw this fella looking so sad and lonely.

Ye Liu sat on the stool. He didn’t run over eagerly and just watched her walk towards Ye Mo.

He could tell Liu Duo’s love towards their third brother was not any less compared to her love for the other three. It was just that their way of interacting with one another was like a quarrelsome but loving couple.

After Liu Duo got out of the yard, she saw that Ye Mo was still walking towards the bamboo forest. She had no intention of stopping and immediately followed him.

“Little Brother Mo, where are you going?” Liu Duo couldn’t help but shout towards him. It seemed as if he had no intention of stopping.

Ye Mo slowed down his pace when he heard her voice.

However, his handsome face was extremely cold and he didn’t intend to pay attention to her.

“…” Liu Duo muttered in her heart, This fella Mo is really as arrogant as a peacock!

She ran slowly to catch up to him. She lifted her head and looked at his handsome face, not saying a word. Let’s see who will be the first one to speak!

Endnote:

[1] Drinking vinegar in Chinese means jealousy. The original text is a play on the word. Ye Liu said he also felt jealous, which can also be taken to mean he drank vinegar.
