Chapter 969: Unbelievable!
“Of course not!” Liu Ran instantly replied. “Sis, I can say it’s a bit of a regret, but I can’t blame you guys. I still have my studies, don’t I? Brother Liu’s right. There will be many more chances in the future.”
Liu Duo was pleased to hear that. He was a very sensible kid.
They talked for a little while longer before Liu Duo returned to the fourth floor for her nap.
In the other Ye family courtyard, somehow they got wind that the Ye brothers had acknowledged Aunt Li as their mother, and that she had moved in with them. The news enraged Grandmother Ye!
But she feared her loud voice would disturb Ye Xuan, so she forced herself to lower the volume. It was still sharp and ear-piercing nonetheless.
“What a bunch of bastards! How are they simply calling someone else their mother! And they don’t even bother to tell me! Unbelievable!”
Grandmother Ye got so angry her face twisted into a fierce-looking one. She had long lost the kindly expression that old people were said to have.
She had completely forgotten how she had mistreated the boys all those years ago. In fact, she’d never cared about them at all. It was only after they struck it rich that she recalled she was their grandmother, one of their elders.
Grandmother Ye, ablaze with anger, wanted to go there and give them a piece of her mind, but she halted right before heading out.
“No, I can’t rush in like that.”
She had landed herself in several unfavorable situations before. It was about time she learned from her mistakes and not be reckless.
Even though she had lowered her voice, Ye Xuan could still hear her cursing from inside his room.
He heard her ranting about the Ye brothers. With his face still bruised, and hatred evidently brewing in his eyes, he said softly, “It’s never too late for revenge.”
Back at Liu Duo’s household, because they were due to set off in two days, the three elder brothers spent whatever time they had left working on the farm together with Li Wazi.
As for Ye Ling, he helped Aunt Li in the house, making the last of the tomato sauce. They had stopped purchasing fresh tomatoes, but they still had to clear the stock they had at home.
Nightfall indicated the end of yet another busy day.
“Wife, I’m coming.” Ye Mo entered the bedroom with a broad grin plastered across his face.
He was over the moon because Liu Duo had agreed to do him a ‘special favor.’
Yet she was not quite excited about that. She acknowledged his presence without even looking at him.
She had started her nap later than usual that day, but she woke up at about the same time. She was drowsy because she had not slept well that afternoon.
She lay sideways on the bed, facing the wall. Then she closed her eyes, and wished for sleep to claim her.
Ye Mo closed the door and windows before climbing into bed. He cuddled his wife in his arms and said, “Dear, why don’t we do it once before we sleep?”
“Some other day, then. I’m tired.” Liu Duo was really not interested, and she was beat.
She moved further inside, away from Ye Mo. He stuck so tightly to her back it was like being next to a heated furnace!
Ye Mo could not hold back anymore.
He finally had a chance, and yet Liu Duo would not permit it?
He had been looking forward to it for so long. With her so close to him, he was overcome by lust and yearned so much for physical intimacy.
“Dear, just one time. Then we sleep, alright? I want you, I can’t bear it...” Ye Mo stuck to her like glue as his hands wandered along her body.
“Mo, stop it. I said I’ll give it to you some other day,” Liu Duo murmured with her eyes shut.
She would not go back on her word, but she was really tired that night and she needed sleep.
