Liu Duo held the big hand that was helping to wipe her tears away. "Ling, you are so ugly like this! Quickly, smile. I'm fine already."

"Duo Er, are you really okay?" Ye Ling looked at Liu Duo, his face full of concern.

They were not even willing to see Liu Duo feel even the slightest bit of grief, let alone to see her cry like this.

Ye Yang watched Liu Duo laughing while tears rolled down her cheeks and said, "If you want to, we can bring them here."

He thought Liu Duo was definitely crying because she missed her parents.

Although he was right, the people whom Liu Duo missed weren't, in fact, Liu Quanfu and Liu Liushi!

Upon hearing this, Liu Duo turned her head to look at Ye Yang and laughed, "There's no need. They have their own lives, and we have our own lives."

Bring them there? How were they supposed to bring her mom and dad there?

Although she knew Ye Yang was talking about Liu Quanfu and Liu Liushi, what she said still applied!

They had their own lives. If they needed financial help in the future, she wouldn't object to it.

But living together? That would be impossible!

Hearing her say this, Ye Yang reached out with his hand and poked her nose. "You're not allowed to snivel, ugly!"

He looked at her. She was like a frail pear blossom bathed in the rain, and he could not help but love her when he looked at her. Ye Yang felt a kind of desire to ferociously "massage" her.

When Liu Duo heard him, she hit his hands and said tsunderely, "No matter how ugly it may be, I still think I'm pretty!"

Ye Yang only relaxed his slight frown after he saw Liu Duo was full of energy again.

On the other side, Ye Liu and Ye Mo were in the bamboo forest and were walking home.

"Liu, if they realized we faked it when they examine us, we will be punished very harshly." Ye Mo looked at Ye Liu, who was beside him.

A few months earlier, he had been punished very harshly, because he lied about teaching Liu Duo! However, Ye Liu had also taken part in hitting him.

Ye Liu laughed, "Relax, Yang won't discover it. Moreover, we still have to come back here and let the mosquitoes bite us tonight. It's not like we aren't planning to come, right? The punishment will be settled then."

Hitting each other's legs thirty times was to remind them to not go where they were not supposed to go, not do things they were not supposed to do, and not look at things they were not supposed to look at!

Ye Liu brought Ye Mo along and found a type of red fruit that would excrete a red liquid when crushed. When it stuck to the body, it would take a few days before it could be washed away. If it were applied properly, it would appear as though they had already received their flogging!

And so, the two of them drew strips and strips of scars from being whipped by branches on their own legs.

When Ye Mo heard him, there was a constant look of worry on his cool and arrogant face.

When they arrived home, Aunt Ye asked, "Liu, Mo, where did you go? You guys didn't spend time with your wife on her birthday!"

"Her mother sent some things here recently, so she felt a bit down after she saw it. Quickly, go and accompany her. Your big brother and Ling already went up there."

When they heard her, Ye Liu and Ye Mo went upstairs straight away.

"What was our wife's mother thinking? Why the Hell would she send something on our wife's birthday? Like she has any sort of goddamn relationship with her!" Ye Mo frowned and looked extremely unhappy. If he had been home, he would definitely have thrown away the things Liu Liushi sent over!

Making his beloved unhappy was the same as making him unhappy!

Ye Liu, on the other hand, said, "Quiet. It's not like I provoked you. There's no need to be so loud! As a mother, it is completely normal for her to gift some things on Little Duo's birthday. After all, it's not like she was the one who sold Little Duo away."

He believed the reason Liu Liushi had done this was not to try to makeup with her; she had simply wanted to send her blessings on her child's birthday, even if they were not officially related anymore.

But she was not able to stop her concern and love for Liu Duo. She also kept seeing Liu Duo as her child!
