Ye Liu, chased out of the room, said to no one in particular, "Goodnight, Little Duo. I'll miss you!" He smirked and looked down at his body, which had reacted to the recent moment of intimacy, and he shook his head.

He thought, Just persevere for a few months, and then Little Duo will make love to you.

Under the roof, with the help of the cold wind, the reaction dwindled, and he went off to bed.

Liu Duo leaned against the door and only turned around when she felt him leaving. She headed for bed and found that Ye Mo had already taken off his outer garments and sat on the bed with his arms and legs crossed, glaring at her, as though he were the master of the household!

She eyed him too, but then she ignored him. She took off her outer garments, blew out the light, and covered herself with the blanket as she laid sideways, a distance away from him.

From the very beginning, she didn't say a word to him, and this annoyed Ye Mo to no end! Even without the light, she could feel his fury.

Ye Mo was about to throw a tantrum when he reminded himself of his ultimate goal, which was to have four children! His anger reduced significantly, but the look of displeasure still hung on his face.

He snuck under Liu Duo's blanket again and reached around to embrace her - without a word or any other action - and closed his eyes... to sleep?

Liu Duo was not used to this side of Ye Mo, so quiet and honest. She didn't think much of it and closed her eyes as well, drifting into sleep.

In a blur, she thought she heard someone talking. Liu Duo, do you really hate me that much? Why do you treat me so badly? When are you going to bear my children? Liu Duo...

A whole bunch of words were said, but she did not hear them clearly. She thought of them as a lullaby, quickly lulling her to sleep.

Ye Mo turned her around when he figured she had fallen asleep. He gazed at her in the moonlight.

A pair of big charming eyes, now closed, rested on her delicate face, its usual grace absent, making the long fan-like lashes particularly obvious, thick and curled. Her cherry lips stayed full and tender.

Her usual smile wasn't there, and her mischievous dimples had hidden away too. Her red beauty mark between her brows lay bare for show.

Admiring the quiet and obedient Liu Duo before him, Ye Mo devilishly pinched her cheeks and said, "Liu Duo, if you treat me differently again, I'll... I'll hit you! You hear me?"

But Liu Duo was deep asleep. How could she respond?

"If you don't speak, I assume that you heard me! Be good and listen to me, and I won't hit you. Sleep on!"

He lowered his head and kissed her clean forehead. He hugged her as he laid down again, slowly entering sleep.

In his dream, he saw Liu Duo giggling and calling him affectionately. He liked it. His lips turned upwards into a smile. She also said she wanted to bear his children, and this made him happy, as he spun her around and around in his arms.

Outside of his dream, Ye Mo laughed out loud, and hugged Liu Duo with greater force.

In the early morning around five, Liu Duo woke up. But she didn't awake naturally. She was practically being strangled and was forced to open her eyes.

She felt her waist was about to break. She was in immense pain.

She found a strong arm holding her in an embrace. She got mad at this, and struggled to loosen the grip as she yelled, "Little Mo, let go! Or are you planning to break me in two?"

Ye Mo, apparently still dreaming, abruptly furrowed his brow, because he saw Liu Duo suddenly lashing out at him, scolding him, and beating him, demanding that he let go of her.
