Chapter 470: She Was Not Falling For It
“So, darling, you seem to like him very much,” Ye Mo said, stating the obvious.
Liu Duo confirmed his statement without looking up, “True.”
Ye Mo proceeded to gently pinch Little Huzi on the cheek, “I quite like him too. His chubby appearance is irresistible.”
“It’s a fact.”
“It’s a shame if he grows up without someone else to play with,” Ye Mo added.
Liu Duo shot him a curious look, Why is he saying that all of a sudden? Little Huzi is still a baby. What does he know of playmates? He doesn’t even need one.
Seeing that he had managed to elicit a response from Liu Duo, Ye Mo continued to speak, “Since you like him so much, why don’t we give him some friends to play with?”
Oh, so he thinks I’ll fall for his trap?
She arched a brow, “Even if he does need one, Li Wazi and Sister Lian can always have another kid, right?”
What did this have to do with her? She was not going to fall for it!
Ye Mo realized that his plan wasn’t working. His wife was really set on not having a kid.
He didn’t understand why. He and his two brothers had been wearing her out, but so far, there hadn’t been any news.
Liu Duo didn’t know or care what he was thinking, as she went on teasing Little Huzi.
Ye Yang carried a bundle of chopped wood from the backyard to the kitchen. He went to wash his hands before going to stand beside his wife and calling out to her, “Little Duo.”
She heard the extraordinary pleasantness in his voice and smiled, “Yang, come sit. Don’t just stand there.”
Ye Mo, despite his jealousy, got a stool for his brother, “Yang, do sit down.”
Li Wazi got himself a seat too and placed it next to Ye Mo. He enjoyed having a chat with Liu Duo.
She may have been sa.s.sy, but her words weren’t as foul and her pitch wasn’t as grating as the other women he knew. She was also quite intelligent.
Liu Duo asked Ye Yang a question after he sat down, “Yang, do you have something to ask me?”
He was usually so transparent that it was like he wasn’t even there. Yet this time, he had called her name first, so Liu Duo wondered if he had some inquiries for her.
Seeing her charming smile, Ye Yang said, with little expression, “How’s the boss?”
“Right, Sister Duo. You went to town with Liu to meet the boss today. What’s he like? Can you get along with him?” Li Wazi seconded the question.
Because of this, he had observed Ye Mo’s long face for the whole day.
Liu Duo understood why Li Wazi would be nosy, but she found it curious that Ye Yang would ask about Dongfang Ming.
Ye Mo stared at her with a strong urge to know.
“Mr. Dongfang is quite a nice man. He’s very gentle and has a great temperament,” she told them exactly how she felt about her first impression of the man.
Although she didn’t want to get to know him too well, she did feel comfortable in his presence. The man was as mature and steady as Ye Yang, but not as cold.
Ye Liu had also mentioned that Dongfang Ming was quite good-looking. Liu Duo confirmed that, and this made Ye Mo furrow his brow. He didn’t want that man to be around her!
After Ye Yang heard everything, he remained expressionless.
Li Wazi, however, got invested in the topic, as he said, “So, how long will Mr. Dongfang stay in our town?”
Liu Duo once again laughed gleefully at how nosy he was, “I wouldn’t know that. That’s his business. We’re just business partners, so it’s not my place to know that much about him.”
Dongfang Ming had mentioned that he would stay for a while, but it was unrelated to her.
Ye Mo rejoiced when she said that. “Indeed, why does our wife need to know about Mr. Dongfang’s schedule? Li Wazi, you’d better stop spouting nonsense!”
