He was also eager to know whether her other three husband's were as good-looking as this one.

With Ye Liu's help, she gathered three bowls of shaved ice, mixed them in the big porcelain bowl, and poured one each for Dongfang Ming, Ye Liu, and herself. "Dig in, it's the best dessert for summer!"

Liu Duo took the lead with the first mouthful, her eyes refreshed from the taste, "Ah, that's so refreshing! This is definitely the best feeling ever! It'd be so much nicer if we had some milk."

Having seen how fulfilled she was, Dongfang Ming and Ye Liu tasted some of theirs too. The shaved ice tasted exactly as wonderful as she had described.

Dongfang Ming had a strong feeling about her, If this woman was ambitious enough, she'd be capable of becoming rich in a short amount of time, and her record would be unprecedented!

Liu Duo finished her frozen fruit salad and placed the bowl on the table, satisfied.

She licked her lips, pleased with her decision to come to town and meet Dongfang Ming that day. Otherwise, she wouldn't have had the opportunity to feast on the frozen fruit salad.

"Liuzi, how do you like the refreshing properties of this dish?" Liu Duo asked him, dimples protruding as she smiled.

He mouthed something silently before the words came out, "Exceptional!"

She managed to read his silent words, and the four syllables that came out after made her go red in the face. Why was he so forward in front of others?

Under the table, Liu Duo kicked his foot. Her eyes appeared to say, I'll deal with you later!

A dead pig has no fear of boiling water. In a retaliation of the most flirtatious manner, his eyes spoke back to her, I hope you plan to deal with me in bed!

Dongfang Ming looked to be focusing on the bowl in his hand, but he was also able to make out Ye Liu's unspoken words, which read as, When I take a bite out of you, Little Duo.

Without catching attention, he cast a glance at Liu Duo, who was blushing furiously. Hidden in her shyness was a dose of femininity and innocence, which along with her unique charisma, was bound to catch the attention of those around her.

Dongfang acted as though he didn't know they were having a lovers' quarrel in front of him, "Madam Ye, this frozen fruit salad you made is simply delectable on a hot summer day. Its cooling effect is certainly very new to me."

He put down his spoon elegantly and wiped his mouth with a silk handkerchief before smiling back at Liu Duo.

"Since Mr. Dongfang treated us to lunch, I suppose this is a way of giving back!" she returned the smile.

"What a creative idea. Wonderful!"

Very soon, Qin Fang arranged for the kitchen staff to serve the afternoon meal.

The table was quickly filled with all types of meat imaginable. There was seafood, livestock, and poultry. She wasn't too surprised by the food, but kept smiling nonetheless.

Ye Liu couldn't keep his eyes off the mouth-watering food before him. Despite finding everything all new to him, he managed a controlled grin to keep up with appearances. Some of the dishes he hadn't even seen before, much less tasted.

"Help yourself, don't hold back," Dongfang Ming began. "Mr. Ye, do you drink wine? I have a sweet Osmanthus wine that I've kept in my collection for years."

He poured a small glass of wine and passed it to Ye Liu, who politely accepted it.

With a grin, he said, "I do like a good wine, but my Little Duo doesn't like it when I drink. Isn't that right?"

He looked at Liu Duo as he spoke, trying to prove that he was obedient.

It was then that Liu Duo first realized Ye Liu could drink wine. After all, she had never caught him smelling like wine, and there weren't any wine jugs in the house.

Ye Liu was certainly a drinker. In the past when he used to work as a casual worker in town, he would participate in drinking with a small gang of friends, but he never got drunk and never went overboard.
