He was just teasing his brother. How would he have the time now to roll in the bed with their wife together?
With that said, he turned around and descended the stairs.
They heard the sounds of footsteps leaving. Ye Mo held Liu Duo in a tighter embrace. “Wife, we shall continue the punishment…”
Another second’s wait was torture. He wanted her and he wanted her now.
Er…
Liu Duo became speechless after hearing words. Why couldn’t Ye Liu stay longer? A little more interruption and she would have been freed.
She was about to reply to him when Ye Mo got right back to ‘work.’ So she could only utter helplessly, “Mo, be gentler, can you? Hmm… I said be gentle!”
Got to hand it to him… Among the four brothers, why was he so rough?
Ye Ling noticed that Ye Liu came downstairs alone, so he asked, “Liu, is Duo Er still sleeping?”
“Yes, the lazy pig’s still asleep. I didn’t wake her up.” He came over and sat down with a smile on his face, then he changed the topic. “Brother Dongfang, if you’re going to Lotus Village for flower viewing, it’s best you choose a day when the weather’s breezy. Our Liu Duo doesn’t like the heat.”
Dongfang Ming nodded slightly when he heard that. “Of course, you can rest assured, Brother Ye. I’ll choose a good day to take Ling and Little Duo on the road trip.”
He did not enjoy moving around under hot weather either.
About fifteen minutes had passed when Li Wazi came out of the kitchen with his son in his arms. He walked to where the other men were and asked curiously, “Hey, where did Mo go? I haven’t seen him in a while.”
Ye Ling, triggered by the statement, went to look around too. He really did not see his brother anywhere.
Dongfang Ming could tell Ye Mo did not like him very much, so he did not give too much thought as to Ye Mo’s whereabouts.
Ye Liu was about to continue the conversation when Ye Mo’s voice rang about, arrogantly and delightedly, reflecting his good mood. “Li Wazi, this is the first time I’ve ever come to know how much you miss me. It’s only been a short while and you’re already looking for me.”
They followed the voice and their eyes fell on the stairway.
Ye Mo walked down the stairs in good spirits, his chin held high and a smug look plastered on his face.
Liu Duo was nowhere to be seen yet. Ye Liu smirked at him. “Geez, why would Li Wazi miss you anyway? Mo, you think too highly of yourself. If there’s someone he yearns for, it’s his wife Little Lian, am I right?”
He raised a fine brow at Li Wazi, as though saying, am I right or what?
Li Wazi, the honest man he was, felt both awkward and embarrassed after listening to Ye Mo and Ye Liu.
He did not want to admit in public that he missed his wife.
Moreover, he was just wondering where Ye Mo had been. He did not go out nor did he take a nap and yet he was nowhere to be found. It was just a casual question.
“No, Mo, I didn’t actually miss you. I’m simply asking. I haven’t seen you in the past few hours. Where have you been?” Li Wazi asked bluntly, facing him.
Ye Mo, in a good mood, did not have any emotional reaction to his brother who chimed in and teased him. He answered Li Wazi, “I was at home, where else could I go? Say, Li Wazi, we’ve been friends for so long and you didn’t even miss me at all? I guess our friendship means nothing to you.”
He rolled his eyes at Li Wazi, then walked the other way to wash up by the well. Next, he took a wooden basin and scooped up some water from the well before heading to the kitchen to fetch hot water.
Ye Mo’s statement left Li Wazi in a daze. His friend wondered what he had said wrong.
He had actually missed him, otherwise, he would not have asked.
Ye Ling looked at Ye Mo. He had the feeling that his brother was in an especially good mood.
But what was he planning to do, taking a basin full of water into the kitchen?
