The three paused and looked back at her.
Ye Liu giggled, “Little Duo, we wouldn’t have a meeting without you and Ling, of course!”
“That’s right, don’t overthink things, my darling,” Ye Mo added.
She must not find out about this! If she did, he and Ye Liu would be in grave trouble!
Compared to hers, Ye Yang’s punishment would be almost nothing!
Liu Duo didn’t believe them as she rolled her eyes and faced Ye Yang next.
She wanted to hear from him!
Ye Yang, with no expression at all, took her hand in his and walked downstairs slowly with her, “Little Duo, we didn’t have a meeting!”
He didn’t want to let her know either, or she would definitely get mad, and his two brothers wouldn’t get to sleep with her for a while.
Furthermore, they really hadn’t met in secret. As the eldest brother, he was merely teaching his brothers a lesson in his own way!
Liu Duo looked at him sideways, “Oh.”
Since he refused to talk, Liu Duo would save it for another time, preferably when they were alone. The three of them wouldn’t be honest if they were together!
When they reached the lowest floor, Liu Duo directly went to take a bath.
Ye Ling asked around, “Yang, Liu, Mo, who’s ready to bath? The water is hot now.”
He wiped away the sweat on his forehead. He looked quite warm.
Ye Yang fetched some water with an empty barrel, “Ling, you first.”
Ye Liu leaned against the wooden door, “Yes, you first, Ling. We aren’t in a hurry.”
Ye Mo stepped forward and added more wood to the fire in his stead.
Ye Ling nodded, not rejecting the offer.
He was used to this. His brothers would let him take the first bath, regardless of whoever was in charge of heating the water.
While Ye Ling went upstairs to get a change of clothes, Ye Liu said, “Yang, if Little Duo asks what happened, you have to keep it bottled up, alright?”
He had noticed the sly twinkle in her eyes moments earlier.
Ye Yang nodded. He had seen the same thing. Wherever she was present, his attention would always be on her.
Liu Duo went upstairs after she finished her bath.
Ye Ling did the same. Ye Yang waited until Ye Liu and Ye Mo had gone out into the yard before heading upstairs.
When he entered the room, Liu Duo was sitting on the bed with her back against the wall, her legs crossed, and her arms folded. She was staring at the door, which meant she was also staring at him.
“Waiting for me?” Ye Yang closed the door and approached her.
Following his footsteps, the air flow made the lit oil lamp sway in the wind. Ye Yang had his back to the light, so Liu Duo couldn’t see him clearly.
She feigned seriousness, “Of course! Yang, I ask you, are you three keeping a secret from Ling and I? And were you having a meeting behind our backs?”
It was not that she really had to know. She just didn’t like the feeling of being kept in the dark, especially regarding something that might have to do with her.
She had to know!
Ye Yang didn’t heed her as he took off his clothes voluntarily.
He was left in only his underwear when he asked, “Blow out the lights?”
The corners of her lips twitched. Damn, was he even listening to her? And he was only wearing his undies?
He used to sleep in both his undershirt and underpants – not in so little clothing.
Liu Duo got up and stood on the bed, looking down at him. She reached out an arm and poked him on his forehead. He deserved it for not keeping up with her. “Yang, do you hear me? Answer me! Are you guys hiding a secret from me?”
