Ye Mo's jaw twitched. Their wife loved to burst his bubble whenever she had the chance! However, he was not angry about it.

Ye Yang fetched some hot water and, seeing no one responding to his calls, carried the buckets outside, where he heard laughter. He shouted for Liu Ran, knowing his little brother-in-law would be the first to take a bath.

Needless to say, the boy knew Ye Yang must be wondering why he had not brought his change of clothes to the bathroom.

Liu Ran responded to Ye Yang's unique voice. "Alright, I'm on it."

He ran upstairs to get his clothes.

"Go slowly, Liu Ran. Don't trip," Liu Duo called out to him, concerned.

Without delay, Ye Yang proceeded to take the hot water into the bathroom.

Just then, Ye Mo stood up, pulled Liu Duo into his embrace, and placed a gentle slap on her buttocks. "Dear, are you calling me a cricket? Just wait and see what punishment I have in store for you in the bedroom!"

"Gosh, Mo! You shameless fool!" Liu Duo gave him a shove, not expecting his bold remark. "Don't you dare! Mo, I'm telling you, your brothers won't let you go so easily if you do that to me! Oh, and my brother Ran Er, too!"

She spoke with her chin held higher than usual to match Ye Mo's smugness.

Ye Mo was unsure if he should smile or shed tears of happiness at his wife's reaction. She was always so lovable!

Ye Ling and Ye Ling were not jealous of the bickering between the two. If anything, they supported it.

"Mo, you're not to bully her, understood?"

"Mo, don't be harsh on Duo Er."

Liu Duo provoked him even more upon receiving encouragement from those two. She folded her arms and peered at him even more smugly than before. Mo, see that? I have guardians.. Better not do anything you'll regret!

He understood the meaning conveyed through her eyes and was about to talk back when they heard hurried footsteps descending the stairs.

"Mo, let go of me. Ran Er's coming down." Liu Duo hit Ye Mo on the shoulders.

But he did not let go. Instead, he took hold of Liu Duo and sat down on his original spot, placing her on his lap. "Whatever, let him come. There's nothing he shouldn't see."

He did not dare call Liu Ran a brat in front of Liu Duo.

Liu Duo was about to fight back when Liu Ran came down with his clothes, but he did not notice them as he rushed towards the bathroom instead.

"Brother Yang, I'm here."

"Alright, go on."

"Darling, why do you care so much? Even if Ran Er sees me hugging you, he'll just know that we have a loving relationship. It won't affect the morale in our own house!" Ye Mo placed his chin on her shoulder as he spoke, not worried at all.

Liu Duo felt her jaw twitch, knowing that Ye Mo, who used to emphasize the shamelessness and disgrace back in the day, had turned the tables.

Ye Liu and Ye Ling exchanged glances. They believed that their brother had indeed changed a lot after all the time spent with their wife.

Liu Duo rolled her eyes and gave his thigh a tight squeeze. "Because I don't want you hugging me, damn it!"
