Ye Ling followed behind her shyly. He said to Ye Yang, “Yang, we are going to take some things to Aunt Ye’s house.”

And Ye Yang watched them leave with an emotionless expression. When he could no longer see them, he stretched out his hands and touched his own lips. Traces of her warmth seemed to still be there.

Ye Yang’s face turned red when he thought of that sweet and gentle touch. The corner of his mouth did, in fact, move up a bit. He thought, Brave little girl.

Liu Duo suddenly ran back again and saw Ye Yang standing there, frozen. He was touching his own lips, his handsome face was red, and the corners of his lips were obviously raised. All this proved that he was in a very good mood.

“Yang, are you still lingering over it? I should just give you a kiss. After all, the last one was too short.” Liu Duo teased. She smiled and walked closer to him.

She thought, Is it possible that Yang is the complete opposite of Liu’s extraversion and is an introvert?

When he heard her, Ye Yang lowered his hands with a calm expression. He still looked at her with that frozen expression. “Why did you come back?”

However, his ears and cheeks betrayed him. They were red, and it was obvious he was embarra.s.sed.

She stood in front of him and looked at him. “I came back to get the silver. Since we were going, I wanted to pay back some of the money owed to Uncle Ye. I forgot to bring it.”

Ye Yang turned his gaze away when he saw how close Liu Duo was standing as she stared at him. He replied with an expressionless face, “Okay.”

She looked at Ye Yang. He didn’t show an expression of embarra.s.sment because he was caught in the act; instead, he was calm and composed. This really made Liu Duo want to see his other expressions that weren’t this calm, frozen expression.

She turned around and took a few steps. She then suddenly turned back around, rushed forward, jumped up, and grabbed onto him like an octopus.

The force from this sudden move was quite strong. When he was pushed, Ye Yang took two steps back before he could steady himself.

However, contrary to her expectations, Ye Yang’s face was still expressionless. He was still calm. Nothing had changed.

He was used to hunting in the mountains. There were quite a few instances where he would suddenly encounter something unexpected. Naturally, Ye Yang had learned to deal with things without being alarmed.

Ye Yang looked at her with an expression that asked her what was she doing?

Liu Duo pouted when she saw it didn’t achieve the result she wanted. She let go of him. “Nothing. I went crazy.”

Went crazy? Ye Yang nodded. His face showed that he thought that was indeed the case.

Liu Duo saw him nodding and was suddenly stunned for a while. Yang also knew how to mock people? Fine. Since she was the one who said she went crazy, she decided to jump into the ditch that she had dug for herself!

She moodily cast a glance at Ye Yang. He did not cooperate with her at all. Couldn’t he just show another expression for her to see? So annoying.

She turned around, went to the room to get the silver, and ran out. Ye Ling was still waiting on her, after all.

And Ye Yang kept looking at Liu Duo. It was only after she couldn’t be seen that he shook his head and continued to chop the wood. He was in an especially good mood.

Aunt Ye greeted them with warm hospitality when they arrived at her house.

“Aunt Ye, this money is to pay back the money owed, and these are for us to pay you respect.” Liu Duo took out the pieces of silver and handed them over.

Aunt Ye looked at the white silver and was stunned. Where did they get this money? “This…”

“Aunt Ye, this is money Duo Er earned. Take it.” Ye Ling explained.

Aunt Ye became even more puzzled when she heard that. The money she earned? After deducting the cost of buying medicine for Ye Ling and their daily expenses, the money Ye Yang and Ye Liu made an entire year, and the money Ye Mo made by selling agricultural goods, wouldn’t even amount to two taels. How did she earn this? She paid up tens of taels in one go.

Families with a lot of paddy fields and vegetable fields only made five or six taels a year.

“Aunt Ye, please rest a.s.sured that this is definitely not black money! This is from my…” Liu Duo smiled and told Aunt Ye about her partners.h.i.+p with Miss Feng.

It was only after this that Aunt Ye felt relieved. She accepted the money and put it away.
