"So why can't I go?" Ye Mo asked in response.

He just wanted to spend time with Duo Er, so he could get those feelings developed.

Ye Liu shot him a mischievous look, "Oh, no reason, you just can't!"

There was an obvious reason why he needed to stay at home, yet he still felt the need to ask? How could someone as smart as he was have an idiot for a brother, despite having been to school?

He didn't want to waste Liu Duo's time, so he got up and left the house with Ye Yang and Liu Ran.

Ye Mo watched them go and didn't follow, because Liu Duo gave him a fierce glare.

Liu Duo knew why Ye Liu had assigned Ye Yang, rather than Ye Mo, to go along with her. Who was managing the accounts while she was gone?

Seeing Ye Mo completely deflated, Ye Ling went on the defensive again. He consoled his brother, "Mo, you can't go with them because you have to manage the accounts for her. The villagers will be here soon with bamboo shoots, I don't know how to write, and Liu has places to go."

It was then that Ye Mo understood, and he felt a bit better. No wonder Liu Duo had been so fierce moments earlier!

Along the way, Liu Ran was in an impeccably good mood, because Liu Duo was taking him to look for Liu Liushi.

Liu Duo had one hand holding Liu Ran, and the other holding Ye Yang. She felt like they were travelling as a family. Ye Yang didn't care what the world would think, as he held her hand too.

"Yang," she looked sideways at the man much taller than her.

He nodded and smiled at the girl who had spoken to him, "Right."

The deep voice was mesmerizing as always. Liu Duo believed that it would get any girl hooked.

He wasn't especially handsome compared to his brothers, but his voice definitely ranked at the top spot! Even Ye Liu's voice wasn't as soothing as his.

Judging from his eyes, Ye Yang seemed to be asking, What's wrong? Liu Duo grinned broadly, "Nothing, just wanted to call you! Hehe..."

She thought for a while before adding, "Yang, you have a great voice. I love it a lot. If only you could talk more, women would gather around you in no time."

"It's only for your ears!" Their eyes met. His voice would only make waves for her.

And so Liu Duo blushed as she moved her eyes away from him and onto a random patch of muddy road in front. Ye Yang's unexpected romanticism always made her heart skip a beat!

The corner of his lips curled up when he saw that she was blushing from what he had said.

Liu Ran noticed her suddenly flushed cheeks and thought it strange, "Sis, why is your face so red?"

Liu Duo had really fair skin, so it was super obvious when she blushed.

"Ah? Nothing. Probably the heat," she laughed it off.

She was not going to tell her brother she was indulged by Ye Yang's sweet talk.

He was still young. He didn't need to know that.

"But the sun's not out yet, so how could it be hot?" Liu Ran's curiosity got the better of him as he asked the right questions, which was like a slap in the face for Liu Duo. It was a cheap lie!

It was only about half past eight in the morning, and the weather was still cool.

She choked. Why was this little rascal asking so many questions? It was making her awkward.

Ye Yang chuckled. Liu Duo fretting was too adorable to pass up.

It was then that Liu Duo and Liu Ran shot Ye Yang a bewildered look, as though they had discovered a new world. The iceberg of a man had actually laughed?
