Sweet Rustic Love: Four Brothers’ Wife

Despite being shoved aside, Ye Xuan managed to keep smiling. He loved how sassy Liu Duo was.

“Sister-in-law, you already know my name. There’s no way we aren’t close.”

“Don’t call me that. I’m not your sister-in-law!” She rolled her eyes coldly.

Members of the Ye family were like this. They were all so thick-skinned!

The Ye brothers had no relatives, other than Aunt Ye. Even if they did, they wouldn’t acknowledge them, because those people did not deserve it!

Seeing her reaction, Ye Xuan couldn’t have been happier. “Alright, then. From now on, why don’t I call you Sister Duo then?”

Regardless of either person’s position in the family, he was the same age as Ye Mo, and therefore older than her.

Liu Duo didn’t want to bother with him.

“Since you aren’t objecting to that, I guess you agree to the title!” Ye Xuan continued with his self-directed act, not feeling a tinge of awkwardness at all.

He laughed again as he searched for another topic, “Sister Duo, are you here to fetch Liu Ran? I didn’t know he was actually your brother. He’s smart, and quite hard working.”

“…” Liu Duo crossed her arms in front of her chest, still ignoring him!

“Sister Duo, from now on I’m their teacher. Rest assured I’ll take good care of him.”

Ye Xuan spoke, full of vigour, but Liu Duo couldn’t have cared less.

But she caught the part where he said he would be teaching Liu Ran. Feeling doubtful, her eyebrows creased.

Why had they changed teachers?

As though he could see what she was thinking, Ye Xuan chuckled, “The old master hasn’t been feeling well lately. He had a hard time dealing with three classes. He wanted me to teach one class, but I’ve been busy with my exams, so I only came as a substitute teacher.”

“But now I’ve decided to take Liu Ran’s classes, so that the old master won’t be so tired.”

Knowing that Liu Ran was Liu Duo’s brother, he thought he might have gained an edge to get closer to her.

He had always wanted to visit her again, but Grandmother Ye had been nagging him about marriage. If she knew he had been looking for Liu Duo, there would be unwanted consequences!

With that, her furrowed eyebrows relaxed, but deep down, she wondered why he had been chosen to teach here.

A small gust of wind blew past them, and a single leaf drifted onto her head. Ye Xuan raised a hand and took it off.

Liu Duo tilted her head and glared at him, “What are you doing? Don’t you believe I’d chop your hands off?”

Still smiling, Ye Xuan showed her the leaf in his hand, “See, I’m just clearing this from your head. Are you really so heartless as to chop off my arm, Sister Duo?”

Liu Duo really didn’t want to speak to him anymore, so she walked a few steps away. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to control herself and might really beat him up!

She looked beyond the fence and through the windows, and she spotted Liu Ran hard at work doing his dictation.

Ye Xuan smiled and walked closer to her. He stood behind her and found her gazing at Liu Ran. “Your brother is very diligent; very hardworking indeed. He has talent.”

She could sense Ye Xuan’s presence. Even his body temperature seemed to have climbed onto her back.

She quickly lifted a hand and thrust her elbow backwards, hoping to keep him away, but Ye Xuan seemed to have come prepared. In a swift movement, he managed to catch hold of her arm and locked it around her waist, making it appear as though he were hugging her from behind.

“Sister Duo, why do you always enjoy picking a fight with me? It worked in my favour,” he teased.

Last time, she had managed to kick him in the groin. It was still a fresh memory for him, so he was aware of her physical advances.

He hadn’t seen her in such a long time. He wanted to get nearer to her.

His voice rang so closely in her ear, in addition to their intimate position, so with one swift movement, Liu Duo lifted a leg and forcefully stepped on his foot.
