Chapter 480: Let Me Help You
He smiled and shook his head. When had he gotten so greedy when it came to this?
He and his brothers weren’t people who couldn’t control their urges. Otherwise, though they may not have been able to get a wife before, they could have always looked for women in brothels to satisfy their desires.
But they had integrity, and they wouldn’t ever let themselves be dominated by their primal urges!
He gave her one last look before leaving the room and heading downstairs.
Ye Ling and the other two had prepared the morning meal and were waiting for Ye Liu and Liu Duo to eat together.
“Liu, where’s our wife? Why didn’t she come down with you?” Ye Mo instigated.
Ye Liu, who had obtained his wishes and was extremely proud of himself, ignored his questioning and instead looked to Ye Ling, “Ling, is there any hot water? I have to get some for Little Duo.”
Both Ye Yang and Ye Mo stared at him, They knew why he needed hot water. Ye Ling, who didn’t understand, said, “Yes, there is. I’ll get you some.”
“That’s alright, I’ll do it myself. You guys eat. Don’t wait for us.”
Then he took an empty bucket and entered the kitchen to fetch the water.
When they saw him go, Ye Yang picked up his chopsticks and said, “Eat.”
Ye Mo looked from Liu to Yang, and wondered. It’s so unfair! Why do I get yelled at while Liu gets away scot-free? Must be nice being the older one!
That was what he thought, but he wouldn’t hold a grudge.
Yang had said it was time to eat, so the two younger brothers dug into their meals.
Ye Liu got the hot water he needed and carried it upstairs.
“Little Duo, I have hot water for you. Get up.”
“Alright,” Liu Duo pressed the thin blanket in front of her chest and sat up, “Liuzi, you can go eat first. I can wash up and dress myself.”
Despite that, Ye Liu wrung the wet towel clean and sat by the bed, “Let me help you.”
Liu Duo looked at him and was reminded of what Ye Yang had done to her last time. She had refused his help too, but he hadn’t listened.
So she skipped the negotiations, since she would just be wasting her breath. Sure, she’d be exposing some skin, but having someone tending to her needs wouldn’t be so bad.
Ye Liu helped clean her body, and then he grabbed some clothes for her…
As they walked downstairs, Liu Duo, who was already red in the face, broke away from Ye Liu, “Liuzi, I really want to kick you in the guts!”
She’d had enough. This pervert was getting in her hair. She had exposed her vulnerabilities, and he had the gall to push his luck!
When he had been dressing her just moments before, she resisted, but he draped his arm over her waist and just kept touching her.
“Little Duo, could you bear to do so? I know you wouldn’t. Let’s go. You must be hungry,” Ye Liu could bet that Liu Duo wouldn’t really hit him, as he smirked confidently.
Liu Duo glared at him and picked up the pace, leaving him on the stairs.
When Liu Duo arrived downstairs, Ye Ling went to the kitchen and retrieved the dishes he had kept warm for her and Ye Liu.
“Duo Er, go wash up and come have your food. Water’s ready.”
Whenever she saw Ye Ling, it was like basking under a ray of suns.h.i.+ne. He always managed to warm her up and calm her down.
She loved that feeling very much. If she had to pick a champion out of the four, Ye Ling would definitely be her first choice!
“Right, I’ll go wash up now,” Liu Duo smiled cheekily, dimples present.
