While Ye Mo went to fetch water, Liu Duo used the time to brush her long hair and tie it into a bun, the one hairstyle she was very skilled at.

She chose a simple garment to wear. She had not bathed yet, despite being sticky all over, and so it was not right to put on proper clothes yet.

When she heard him, she nodded. "Alright." She was not fussy.

He put the basin down, soaked a washcloth and wrung it dry. He wanted to give Liu Duo a good scrub but she avoided him.

"Mo, you can leave now. I can do it myself. Villagers will be coming anytime now to sell their tomatoes," she said, stretching her hand out for the washcloth.

She peered at him helplessly. Her stomach was not feeling well.

Ye Mo could tell she was feeling uncomfortable, and asked her out of concern, "Wife, what's wrong? Are you tired? But I'm the one doing the work here."

Liu Duo rolled her eyes at him. "Just give me the washcloth. You talk too much!"

She did not want to discuss this with him. So what if you did all the work? You were so rough!

"That's not right. If you don't feel well, say it, don't hold it in. Why don't I scrub you clean? You should rest."

He shoved her hand away. With one hand holding onto the back of her head and the other handling the washcloth, he went straight for her face first, wiping away her sweat.

Liu Duo frowned. She attempted to grab the washcloth but Ye Mo was stubborn and resisted her actions. She said she did not want his help, but he was relentless.

After going back and forth, Liu Duo could feel a warm stream of liquid flowing down from the lower part of her body. Her stomach began to swell in pain too. She pushed Ye Mo aside.

"Mo, you go down now. My period's here. Let me dry myself. Really, I don't need your help!"

She needed to use the cloth now, the one exclusively prepared for this occasion, and she did not want Ye Mo looking. She was already embarrassed as it was.

After all, privacy was required for a time like this. It was the same as using the toilet. No one would want an audience in the room!

At that point, Ye Mo felt lucky that her period had not come when they were 'doing it,' otherwise he would have had to resist his urges!

He really hated this 'period' thing.

But then again, he was also disappointed. It meant that his wife did not get pregnant.

He frowned slightly before saying in a somewhat harsh tone, "Fine, so it's here. It's not that big of a deal." He went to the closet to get the special cloth for her. "Wife, the cloth Ling made for you is in the closet, right?"

Liu Duo twitched her lips in annoyance. Why was every single one of them so concerned about her whenever she was having her period?

After all, she was neither disabled nor a delicate lady. She did not need to be waited on!

"Mo, like I said, you go down now. If you don't listen, then... don't even think about having sex with me again! I mean it!" Liu Duo feigned a dauntless and serious look.

Ye Mo found the cloth in the closet and turned around to find her looking at him like that. He imitated what she regularly did and rolled his eyes at her.

"Wife, if you don't want to have sex with me, then I can always have sex with you! Anyway, you're not even the one doing the work, what makes you think you can decide on that?"

In other words, things would turn out differently if she were the one hard at work.

"You…" Liu Duo glared at him, practically fuming. What a shameless rogue!

What did he mean by that? He was just playing with words! Gosh, he would be the end of her!

Ye Mo also dug out Liu Duo's dudou and underwear, then he placed them on her bed. "What about me? You talk too much. Just scrub yourself clean and put on that cloth, alright? Otherwise, it's going to be filthy."
