Chapter 692: This Was Not Normal
In regards to Liu Duo’s neglect, Ye Liu playfully draped an arm over her shoulder and placed his other on his chest. “Little Duo, my heart aches. What should I do about it?”
“Mix it with cold dressing!” Liu Duo yelled back.
Ye Mo and Ye Ling, who were serving the food, chose this time to step out of the kitchen.
Ye Mo met her eyes and said, “Dear, take a seat. Lunch will be ready soon.”
Liu Duo looked at him strangely.
There was something odd about his tone. He sounded excited. Did something good happen?
“Hey, Mo, did you pick up some coins on the street earlier today?”
As she said that, Liu Duo wrestled away the arm on her shoulder. It weighed so little it was almost boneless!
Ye Mo placed a large bowl of food on the table, his handsome face looking puzzled. “No, I didn’t.”
It was not easy to find random coins anyway.
He had not found any in all his years.
Next to them, Ye Liu listened to their conversation and chuckled.
Ye Ling guiltily peered at Liu Duo, put down the chopsticks and went back to the kitchen.
He was quite worried about what would happen after lunch, when Liu Duo would go upstairs for a nap only to find out her bed had been tampered with. He had participated in the act, so would she be angry with him too?
Liu Duo gave Ye Mo more strange looks. She had the feeling this fool was acting funny today.
“Ling,” Liu Duo called for him. She had returned, and he saw her, yet he had not spoken to her.
This was not normal.
Ye Ling heard her calling him. He looked over at his wife but did not meet her gaze. “Yes, Duo Er, lunch is coming up. Please wait a little while.”
And then he walked back into the kitchen, as though he was afraid Liu Duo would continue talking to him.
Li Wazi walked out of the kitchen carrying Little Huzi. He sat down on the empty stool beside Liu Duo.
“Liu Duo, I heard from Ling that a lady came today, and she’s the reason your trip was cut short, is that true?”
Ye Ling had not elaborated when they asked him.
Liu Duo knew Li Wazi liked to snoop. She offered to hold the baby and said to the father, “Yes, and a pretty one at that.”
“Oh, then what’s her relationship with Dongfang? I heard she cried and made a scene,” Li Wazi kept probing.
Er...
Liu Duo looked up at him, wondering if he might have crossed the line. This had nothing to do with him at all!
“Hei, Li Wazi, you ask too much. Do you plan to head over there and console her?” Ye Liu asked with a smirk.
He might not know what had really happened, but from what Ye Ling said, he could guess the relationship between the lady and Dongfang Ming was not that simple.
Li Wazi went on to explain, his face a little red, “Liu, I’m simply asking. Now you’ve gone too far. I don’t even know the woman, why would I console her?”
“Oh, so you mean that if you knew her, you would do that?”
“I-I didn’t say that! If I knew her, I wouldn’t do that either. Lian wouldn’t like it.”
Pffft, Ye Liu burst out laughing. “Oh, so you know your wife wouldn’t be too happy! Then why are you so concerned about other women?”
“I-I wasn’t concerned at all! I-I’m just curious.” Li Wazi got so nervous he began to stammer. He might have just dug himself a deeper hole.
Liu Duo gave Ye Liu a shove. Quit messing with him!
“Don’t worry about him, Brother Li!” she said to Li Wazi. “I don’t know what she was going on about, but Ling and I left very soon after that.”
