Chapter 156: Li Chunmei
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Ye Mo subconsciously gulped at the sight of Liu Duo. She must never know what had happened.
He let out a dry cough and said cooly, “I’m always this loud, I did not yell! There must be something wrong with your ears!”
And then he hung his head low and continued chopping wood, as though sending the message that he was busy and would like to not be disturbed.
Liu Duo furrowed her brow before directing her gaze at Ye Yang and Ye Ling, urging them to say something. She would not believe Ye Mo’s lies! She suspected something was amiss when he did not dare to look straight at her.
It wasn’t that she had an active imagination, but she had really heard him saying that he had no interest in some woman. What woman? Who? Was it herself, or someone else?
If he had meant her, then she would be very upset. She thought, Damn, you have no interest in me? More like I have no interest in you!
If he had meant someone else, then who? Was it Li Chunmei, or some other woman?
It was Ye Ling’s turn to gulp when he noticed Liu Duo staring at him. In an attempt to dodge the question, he said, “Duo Er, we weren’t discussing anything. Mo, he… Mo has always talked like this. He’s quite loud.”
He also didn’t want Liu Duo to know that they were talking about Li Chunmei. He was worried that if she found out, she would get mad at Ye Mo.
When it came to Ye Mo’s affairs, Ye Ling would go into defensive mode and stand by his brother to the end.
However, right then, Ye Yang spoke up, which to the two of them was like a slap in the face, “Li Chunmei!”
The action startled everyone. Ye Mo and Ye Ling could only look at him in shock, thinking, Yang, why are you betraying your brothers like this?
They remained quiet, observing Liu Duo for any response. When she did not show any, the two mean breathed a sigh of relief.
Upon hearing the other woman’s name, Liu Duo grabbed a stool and entered the garden. She placed it a short distance away from them and sat on it.
She crossed her legs the same way she crossed her arms in front of her chest. Bearing no special expression, she asked, “What’s up now? What does she have to do with anything? Didn’t you go to chop wood? Unless, could it be, you met her again, doing the same work?”
When she heard that she wasn’t the one he’s not interested in, she felt a little joy inside. Just a bit. She also couldn’t understand what she was supposed to be happy about. Anyway, she didn’t deny it.
Ye Ling immediately fought to speak first, “Duo Er, it’s like this. I went to deliver food to Aunt Ye, and then Mo and I went to chop wood together. Chunmei arrived a while after, but she wasn’t there to chop wood. She wanted to thank Mo for taking her home last time. And that’s that.”
The reason he spoke out first was to prevent Ye Mo and Liu Duo from quarrelling again.
“Oh. Ling, why are you so nervous? I’m just simply asking. There’s no big deal,” Liu Duo smiled. Ye Ling’s behaviour was so adorable.
Ye Ling relaxed his anxious heart when he saw her smile.
Ye Yang scoffed mentally. This girl sure can change emotions very quickly!
She was obviously very cross at that moment, like a lion ready to pounce at any moment. It was a given that Ye Ling would be nervous!
And then Ye Mo said, “Ling is right. It’s exactly like that. She just came to thank me.”
Liu Duo looked at him, “If that’s how it is, then there’s nothing more I can say. Whatever I said that day, I wasn’t joking!”
They had better not be thinking any bad ideas!
“I have no interest in her, so you don’t have to remind me!” Ye Mo muttered as he continued chopping wood.
Then Liu Duo turned to Ye Yang and Ye Ling, “Yang, Ling, the same goes to you two. If you have any romantic encounters, you’d better get rid of them before it’s too late. Otherwise, whatever I said that day goes for you guys too!”
Then she added in her mind, When Mr. Liuzi comes back, I’ll have to give him a lecture! He’ll likely be the one with the most romantic affairs!
