As he said it, Liu Duo smiled so wide her dimples showed. She walked up to him and hugged him by the waist, her cheeks nestled on his back, “Oh, why are you so sweet, Ling? I love you even more now.”
She truly felt like eating noodles. Ye Ling knew her very well.
He had managed to capture her appetite just perfectly!
Ye Ling blushed shyly at the thought of being hugged by her in front of his brothers.
Ye Mo felt a little jealous at the sight, since he was always the one being ignored!
It seemed like Liu Duo would, time and time again, proclaim her love for Ye Ling in public, but she wouldn’t do so for the other brothers!
He intentionally let out a cough to get her attention, “Dear wife, has the villager left?”
He believed Liu Duo should have seen him.
“That’s right, Duo Er. Is he gone?” Ye Ling asked too. He wanted to know the final verdict.
Liu Duo let go of the embrace to stand beside him, “He just left. Yang and Liuzi offered him a job here.”
Ye Mo and Ye Ling didn’t have any objections to that. They could use another helper.
They already had two casual workers, who would come to help when Ye Yang was too busy on the farm.
Ye Ling was elated to hear this. Now the man had a stable income to purchase medicine for his kid.
When the noodles were done, the five of them each took a bowl and mixed their meal with tomato sauce. The food was splendid.
And then Ye Mo suddenly called out to Ye Ling, “Ling, remember to modify our underwear today. Let Aunt Li and the women deal with the tomato sauce. I really want to wear them soon!”
Ye Ling blushed when he heard that and snuck a glance at Liu Duo. It was embarrassing to talk about it in front of Liu Duo.
Liu Duo didn’t react like he did. She merely blushed a little. She imagined seeing the same underwear every night, and the muscular legs underneath them.
She got excited just thinking about it, and chuckled sheepishly.
“Little Duo, your laugh is oddly suspicious. What are you thinking?” Ye Liu noticed the mischievous grin on her face, and his eyebrows arched.
He suspected that Liu Duo was looking forward to seeing the finished product.
Er…
Liu Duo was caught off guard. Had she laughed aloud?
“What are you saying, Liuzi? You’re the one with the devilish smirk! I didn’t laugh at all!” She denied it, while gritting her teeth.
“You could ask everyone else if you don’t believe me.”
And so she looked at them guiltily.
Ye Yang ignored what his brother said as he ate his food. His stoic expression never changed.
He had seen Liu Duo’s grin too, but he didn’t show it.
Ye Mo was more agreeable, “Indeed. My wife, could it be that you were imagining all four of us in the altered underwear?”
Ye Ling ate his food without looking up. He didn’t deny what they were saying either.
Liu Duo concluded that whatever she thought would be written on her face. She noted to herself to not let her imagination run wild again. It was embarrassing to be caught red-handed by them!
Liu Duo let out an awkward cough, “Rubbish! I’m just thinking about the meeting with Miss Fang’s boss tomorrow!”
Ye Liu smiled silently at her reply. His gaze towards her was one of adoration.
Ye Mo glared at her, knowing she was lying with a straight face, but he chose not to call her out.
Liu Duo’s face was burning as hot as Ye Ling’s was at that moment, because she was being stared at in that way by two men. She got up, took her bowl, and went to sit on her rocking chair, away from their strange glances that made her uncomfortable.
