Chapter 628: Am I Right, Our Lady Of The House?
“No, I will not give up!” w.a.n.g Xiangyun said with determination as she wiped away her tears.
If she had to give up, she would have done so long ago. Why now?
It was not that there weren’t any other men who liked her, but she had her eyes and heart on no one else except Dongfang Ming.
Little Tian gave a brief sigh before using a towel to wipe away Xiangyun’s tears. “If that’s the case, Miss, don’t cry anymore, or your beautiful eyes will become swollen and puffy when you wake up tomorrow. Then you won’t be able to look good in front of Master Dongfang.”
“Right, I can’t cry anymore. I can’t let Brother Ming see me like this.”
w.a.n.g Xiangyun took over the towel and dried the tears herself. She took several deep breaths, trying to control her emotions and stop her tears from flowing.
Dongfang Ming returned to his original spot, not affected at all by the commotion. He brought the book back into his hands and continued reading…
On the other side of town, Liu Duo was tending to Ye Mo’s long hair. When she was finished, she put down the comb and said, “Are you pleased with my service, my lord?”
Ye Mo toyed with the strands of hair by her ears and said arrogantly, “Wife, you call me Mo, not ‘my lord!’ Your service was sloppy. There were several times when I thought my scalp would fall off.”
Pffft, Ye Liu chuckled.
Liu Duo rolled her eyes. That meant he was giving her bad reviews then?
She had just asked a random question. She did not expect him to pick it up and give her an honest review in a lordly manner.
“Little Duo, if you’re the one combing my hair, I won’t feel any pain even if you do shave me bald,” Ye Liu said jokingly.
“Geez…”
“Geez…”
Liu Duo and Ye Mo uttered their annoyance at the same time. What a bootlicker!
“Liu, do you plan to become a monk anytime soon? You mentioned becoming bald just now.” Ye Mo rolled his eyes at his brother.
Pffft! This time it was Liu Duo who laughed. Ye Mo’s tone sounded so childis.h.!.+
Ye Liu leaned against the wall column with his arms crossed. He said deviously, “If Little Duo wants to sc.r.a.pe away my magnificent, jet black hair, if she wants to see how I look bald so much, I’ll be happy to comply. I know I’m handsome, and I’ll still be handsome even if I’m bald! Mo, you don’t have to be a monk to be bald. After all, those who resumed secular life started off like that as well. Their hair only grew back later. Your brother, and I mean me, has fallen for a woman. I can’t possibly live a monk’s life!”
He even winked at Liu Duo. “Am I right, our Lady of the House?”
His pair of mesmerizing eyes sent sparks to Liu Duo every time he did that. Her face flushed, her bashfulness unable to be hidden.
Just then, Ye Ling finished his bath and came out of the bathroom, carrying two empty buckets. He headed to the kitchen to check on his family.
Gently, he called out, “Duo Er, do you want to bath now? The water should be ready.”
She turned around when she heard his voice. “Oh, sure.”
Then she walked over to him. Her change of clothes had already been left in the bathroom.
Ye Ling’s fair skin managed to flush red after a hot bath. It made him look even more delectable.
“Ling, wait for me, alright? We’ll go up together after I’m done.” With that, she took over one bucket in his hand. “I’ll take that.”
“Alright, I’ll wait for you,” Ye Ling nodded with a smile.
He had thought it over. Since his brothers were so worried about him and had made arrangements to accommodate, then he would listen to them and sleep with Liu Duo so that they could worry less.
Actually, ever since he found out he had been tricked, he became less frightened of the prospect of having to marry Li Chunmei.
