Chapter 769: You’re So Cool!
They had met once, so Liu Ran knew he was his sister’s business partner.
“Hi, uncle,” he said politely after the initial surprise wore off. He politely went to welcome him.
Greeted by the young smiling boy who looked very similar to Liu Duo, Dongfang Ming said, “Long time no see, Ran Er. How have you been?”
“I’ve been great,” Liu Ran grinned. “Uncle, you’re here to look for my brothers-in-law, right? Brother Yang, Liu, and Mo went out for work, but Brother Ling and my sister are still in the house.”
He led Dongfang Ming and Mingyan into the yard and then poured them some water.
“Yes, I know. I’m here to pa.s.s the portraits to your sister and Brother Ling.” Dongfang Ming peered at Ming Yan, hinting for him to take the portraits out.
Then he looked around but did not see or hear anyone else.
Curiously, Liu Ran opened up one of the scrolls to find his youngest brother-in-law appearing on paper before him.
“Wow, this is Brother Ling! The drawing looks so real!” Liu Ran exclaimed. This was the first time he’d seen a lifelike portrait with his own eyes.
Ming Yan took pride at the sound of his bewilderment while Dongfang Ming merely smiled. He was used to other people acknowledging his skills.
Then Liu Ran opened up the other scroll to find a lifelike Liu Duo on paper as well. “Uncle, did you draw these? You’re so cool!”
He was filled with admiration for Dongfang Ming now. Not only could the man leap from the carriage with grace, even his art was extraordinary!
Dongfang Ming slightly nodded at the excited boy. “Indeed.”
“I’m going to get Brother Ling and my sister to look at these. They’re practically walking on paper! Haha…” With that, he zoomed up the stairs.
Before Liu Ran could reach the second floor, several villagers arrived at the yard to sell tomatoes. They yelled, “Ye Ling, we have some tomatoes for you!”
Liu Ran quickly reversed and zoomed back downstairs. “Brother Ling’s busy upstairs. Please weigh your tomatoes on the scale here and report to me.”
Like a mini adult, he flipped through the accounts booklet Ye Ling had previously prepared, grabbed a brush and waited for the villager to give a number.
Dongfang Ming looked at his actions. The kid seemed to be as clever as Liu Duo. Then he turned around and peered at the stairway. Upstairs?
Ye Ling took out Liu Duo’s change of clothes from the wardrobe. “Duo Er, come over here and change into your undergarments.”
Blus.h.i.+ng, he held her undergarments in his hand as he prepared to dress her.
It was not his first time, but he still blushed red with embarra.s.sment.
Liu Duo liked what she saw as her dimples deepened. She loved how Ye Ling would get shy and fl.u.s.tered like he was now! Only he would allow Liu Duo to ‘fool around’ with him every once in a while.
She removed the covers and stood up boldly. “Ling, I’ll leave it to you then.”
She was never shy in front of him!
Compared to the other three brothers, Ye Ling resembled a cute little lamb, while the rest were bloodthirsty wolves.
Ye Ling’s face went red immediately. His ears, too.
