On the other side, Ye Liu called Liu Duo and Ye Ling upstairs. Ye Mo followed them.

Ye Yang spotted them and walked over leisurely.

They were on the fourth floor, in Liu Duo's room. She sat on her bed, looking at them all, "Liuzi, what did you call us here for?"

Ye Ling also wondered what it was that couldn't be said downstairs.

It was then that Ye Mo slipped inside, with Ye Yang at his heels. The family of five gathered in one place, almost like a family meeting.

Ye Liu squeezed and sat next to Liu Duo, Ye Ling sat on one side, Ye Yang sat by the window, and Ye Mo leaned against the wall.

"Little Duo, Ling, what happened between you two and Little Lian? The three of you have been acting strangely," Ye Liu said, eyeing Ye Ling.

Liu Duo acted like she wasn't involved, but Ye Ling's blush betrayed him.

If it weren't for Liu Duo's punishment, they wouldn't have been seen by Little Lian, she wouldn't be embarrassed in front of them, he wouldn't be embarrassed in front of her, and they would all be on speaking terms!

Liu Duo smirked at Ye Ling, "Ling, Liuzi wants to know. Go on. Tell him!"

Ye Ling just kept blushing and looking at his feet. Shyly, he said, "Ling, it's actually nothing. It was Liu Duo's punishment. She kissed me and Little Lian just happened to see us."

He couldn't bear to continue. Ye Liu would naturally figure out the strange ambience among the three of them.

It was Ye Mo's turn to ask, "Why did she punish you?"

He really wanted to know this!

He hadn't gotten over his jealousy. Why would Liu Duo actively kiss his brothers but never him?

Ye Ling couldn't answer this. The consequences would be terrible. He would have to include Liu Duo's earlier question, and he couldn't do that.

The corners of her lips curled up. She took hold of this opportunity and said to Ye Liu, "Well, it's about Burly Du. He came looking for you, saying he didn't want to get married. After that I'm not sure what Ling told him, but he left, and I asked Ling about it, but he wouldn't tell me. So, I punished him!"

She framed it in such a way that Ye Ling would have to spill the beans, since his brothers would demand an answer from him. She was gleeful just imagining how things would turn out!

Ye Liu's mouth twitched when Burly Du's name was mentioned. He didn't like it at all!

What did his refusal for marriage have to do with Ye Liu? Why had he come to tell him that?

Ye Mo asked again, "Why did Burly Du come to tell Liu that he doesn't want to get married?"

It was so strange!

"I don't know about that," Ye Ling shook his head doubtfully.

"Liu, what's your take?" Ye Mo looked and him curiously.

Liu rolled his eyes at him, "Geez, Mo! Why are you so nosey? How would I know about Burly Du's his crazy plans? What's that got to do with me? I'm not his keeper!"

"True, it's got nothing to do with you, but why did Burly Du want to tell you, of all people? I don't get it."

"Then don't think about it! It's annoying!"

Ye Liu already harbored dislike for the name and was extra sensitive about it. Ye Mo's interrogation was driving him mad!

Did he really have to tell them that Burly Du had feelings for him, and that was why he had come to him to complain about not wanting to get married?

Liu Duo could tell that Ye Liu was holding back his anger. She laughed. It was her first time seeing him like that!

Ye Liu raised his brows mischievously at her, "Little Duo, since you punished Ling, why don't you punish all of us as well? Brothers stick together!"
