"So, dear, what must I do to earn your forgiveness?" Ye Mo followed up, being surprisingly patient.

Liu Duo just wanted to get away quickly, so she replied, "I don't accept it and that's that! Just let me go already, Mo!"

She kept shoving him as she said so. They were alone here, one man and one woman. Her heart suddenly raced. She wanted to get home quickly.

The sky was slowly darkening, and soon it would be nightfall. She hadn't told Ye Ling she was going out because she didn't want him to worry.

Ye Ling arched a thin brow. "You don't accept? I guess I'm not sincere enough for you. Then I'll just have to take action."

He proceeded to plant a kiss on her lips, using his experience to break through her defenses and go straight for her tongue, where he started a fight for dominance she reluctantly joined.

"Mmm..." Liu Duo was caught off guard by his sudden attack and didn't know what to do other than passively accept it. She retaliated by hitting him continuously.

What shameless scum. On what grounds should she accept his apology? He was clearly just trying to take advantage of her!

They differed greatly in strength. How could she push him away? She was being ambushed and then slowly lured by his skillful kissing techniques. It was getting to be too much. She found herself having difficulty breathing.

With each kiss, he was as hungry as a wolf!

Ye Mo only stopped kissing her when her whole body went weak, but his benefits didn't stop there.

In a hoarse voice, he whispered in her ear, "Darling, do you accept my apology, hmm?"

"Umm..." could she still say no? Liu Duo glared at him. "Go, it's time to leave."

Ye Mo was absolutely charmed by her soft, dainty voice. Perhaps he didn't want to go home, but he still let her grab him by the hand as they set off.

He was in a really great mood! He didn't want her to stay angry. Actually, he was afraid she would stay angry.

Back home, the brothers urged Ye Ling to take a bath first since Liu Duo wasn't back yet, but the water was ready.

Ye Liu waited indoors, while Ye Yang minded the fire in the kitchen stove.

"Yo, Mo. You're back? I thought you were planning to stay overnight elsewhere. Little Duo's been looking for you for a long time."

Ye Liu saw the two coming back hand in hand. He knew that Ye Mo's previous desolation had been replaced by bliss now!

"Who says I wasn't coming back? Where else can I go?" Ye Mo threw his brother a stink eye.

This must be another one of his jokes.

Liu Duo shook away his hand. She didn't want to join in their banter. She hadn't spoken to Ye Yang since coming back.

Ye Mo had a great time just now, so he let her be, not forcing her to stay.

After they watched Liu Duo go in the kitchen, Ye Liu approached Ye Mo and draped an arm across his shoulder, smirking deviously. "Mo, you forced a kiss on Little Duo, didn't you? Could you at least be gentle? Look what you did to her soft, red lips! They're practically swollen now!"

He could tell how ravenous Ye Mo had been with just one look!

Ye Mo's ears flushed red hearing his brother say that. "What do you mean I forced a kiss? Don't simply say such things, Liu."

It's just kissing, alright! Forced? What a terrible word.

Pffft, Ye Liu chuckled. Mo wouldn't admit it!

When Liu Duo entered the kitchen, she found Ye Yang sitting there quietly watching the stove and adding a piece of wood into it.

"Yang."

Liu Duo called out to him once, went to move a stool next to him and sat down.

Ye Yang heard her voice. His still eyes went searching for her as he said, "The water's almost done heating."

He thought Liu Duo had come to ask if the water was ready.
