Sweet Rustic Love: Four Brothers’ Wife

Escaped?

When Ye Mo heard that, he furrowed his brow too, but he wasn’t worried that the guy would do something to them, because they weren’t scared of him!

Liu Qing, who ran away, had gone into hiding in the forests where Ye Yang used to hunt. He planned to wait a few days until the attention surrounding his case had subsided, and then he would leave.

He didn’t want to be jailed. He didn’t want to spend his days in darkness – not for a single moment, much less three or four years!

On this side, Liu Duo believed the government people would do their best to catch him, and she intended to live her life as usual.

Time passed, and it was almost noon. Ye Xuan made no move to leave. Ye Mo beamed at him, “Not leaving? Your keeper will come looking for you soon!”

Frankly, he couldn’t know what Ye Xuan was thinking! If Ye Xuan thought he could have lunch with the Ye family, then he thought wrong!

Ye Xuan just grinned, stood up, and swept dust off his clothes, “Mo, I’m not a kid who still needs an adult looking after me.”

He turned to face Liu Ran and patted him on the head, “I’ll be going now.”

With that, he prepared to leave. It was certainly time for lunch.

Yet, Liu Ran called out to him, “Brother Xuan, why don’t you stay for lunch?”

And then he looked over to his sister.

Ye Mo glared furiously at him when the boy responded like that, Is this brat asking for a beating?

Liu Duo barely opened her mouth to reply when Ye Xuan shook his head, “Thank you for your offer, but there’s no need.”

He glanced at Liu Duo from the corner of his eye before heading towards the front door.

Knowing what was at stake, of course he had the sense not to stay. He was already not welcomed by the men, so staying would only increase their dislike for him. Liu Ran didn’t recognize the tension between them.

Liu Ran seemed to be slightly disappointed at Ye Xuan’s refusal to stay for lunch.

Ye Mo went forward, pulled him by the ear, and broke into full fury, “You, brat! Don’t decide on your own who gets to stay for lunch, or you won’t get any! Should we let him have your serving?”

Liu Ran painfully shoved him away, “Sure, he can have mine! Humph!”

He thought that, since Ye Xuan always came to tutor him, was it really so wrong to offer him lunch?

Liu Duo looked at the two of them and said, “Mo, stop bullying him!” Then she turned to Liu Ran, “Ran Er, even if Ye Xuan’s here to help you with your studies, it’s nice of you to ask him to stay for lunch, but you have to consider your brothers-in-law. They have a score to settle with him.”

A score to settle?

Liu Ran just stared at his own sister. Though it was unclear to him, he knew that they didn’t want Ye Xuan to have lunch at their house.

“Oh,” was all Liu Ran said. Fine then, he would treat his teacher to lunch when he got older and made money.

As he thought about it, he grinned cheerfully from ear to ear.

Liu Duo smiled too upon seeing Liu Ran no longer grappling with the issue.

She gave Ye Mo a look, telling him to follow.

Liu Duo headed up the stairs, and she went all the way past the third floor to the hallway on the fourth floor. When Ye Mo caught up, she yelled at him, “Don’t you think about putting a finger on Ran Er ever again!”

“Hey, I didn’t use too much strength. What’s the matter with you, darling?” Ye Mo eyed the little lady in front of him, who had her arms crossed in front of her chest, like a mother lion protecting her cub.

Didn’t use too much strength?

This fellow didn’t know how to control his own strength. What he meant by ‘not too much strength’ may still be extraordinarily painful to others.

Liu Duo rolled her eyes at him, “Remember, not a finger – not even a light one! Got it?”

“Fine, I won’t touch him. I’m not a fan of violence anyway. Let’s go. Lunch should be ready now,” Ye Mo said coolly.

If he got his wife angry, he was the one who would get the short end of the stick. Therefore, he would not do that!
