So, Liu Duo pinched both cheeks on his handsome face and said, “Liuzi, do you know how to spell shameless? Because that’s exactly what you are!”

“No, I don’t even know how to write!” Ye Liu said honestly. He knew what Liu Duo meant, but he wasn’t angry.

Liu Duo rolled her eyes. She felt like she had just landed a punch on a bundle of marshmallows. “Can you be serious for now? Put me down, I have to prepare the bamboo shoots to cook later so that I can bring lunch to your brothers.”

With that, Ye Liu put her down, “Where did they go?”

He had been wondering where everyone was. He had come home, yet no one came to welcome him. “The three of them went to pull weeds in the paddy field,” Liu Duo answered.

“Oh,” Ye Liu went into the room to put down his package. Then he returned to help Liu Duo clean the bamboo shoots.

“Little Duo, why did you buy these bamboo shoots? They are harsh, and they don’t taste good,” he asked.

Liu Duo got curious when he said that. Harsh? Parboiling them in hot water would do the trick. Didn’t the people here know how? Yang hadn’t mentioned it at all.

As she thought about it, Liu Duo cracked a smile. Was this a business opportunity? After all, there was no such thing as too much money, and this was a great chance to make more! “Liuzi, rest assured, I’ll make a really nice dish with them later!”

Ye Liu wouldn’t want to strike at Liu Duo’s confidence, so he smiled and nodded. He would go with whatever made her happy!

The two of them worked well together to make lunch, joking and teasing from time to time. It just so happened that Ye Liu enjoyed playing tricks on her. Sometimes Liu Duo couldn’t bother with him, while other times he made her laugh.

“Lunch is ready! Liuzi, we’ll eat first and then bring some over to Yang and the others,” Liu Duo said joyfully as she served the fried bamboo shoots from the pot.

Ye Liu nodded while he took out the unburned firewood from the stove. “Sure, I’ll leave the arrangements to you.”

He washed his hands and went to the table, where he ate his meal with Liu Duo.

“Little Duo, the pig drawings you drew last time raked in a lot of money, didn’t they?” While cooking just now, he saw that the vat was filled with refined rice and the sack was filled with fine powder. He guessed that she had bought those with her bonuses.

He had heard from the men at the place he worked about pig-like dolls that were sold at expensive prices.

Liu Duo ate a mouthful of bamboo shoots and smiled proudly at his remark. “That’s absolutely necessary! Haven’t you guessed who I am? I am the embodiment of beauty and intellect, able to draw cute animals at the flick of a brush, and that is where money comes from! Haha…”

Liu Duo enjoyed showing off so much that she might as well have flown to heaven, while Ye Liu smiled in adoration. He went along with her, “Yes indeed, our Little Duo is the best of the best!”

He stopped to think and added, “Little Duo, even if you can earn so much, please don’t abandon your four, dross husbands, alright?”

Liu Duo cocked her head sideways when she heard Ye Liu say that and the food she just ate spewed out of her mouth with a splatter. Luckily she reacted quickly, otherwise she might have spat on the table.

And then she saw Ye Liu’s panic and nervousness as though he was the wife, afraid of being abandoned.

Oh dear. This Liuzi should take up acting. What a waste of talent!

She wiped her mouth and rolled her eyes at him, “Good that you know, if you scare me with words like that again, I might consider abandoning you first!”
