"If that's how it is, then I'm not going to prepare eggs for you today, alright?" Ye Ling was not angry as he spoke in his usual gentle tone. "Ran Er, how about I make some for you every few days instead? Would you like that?"

"Oh, that's fine. Thank you, Brother Ling, you're nice!" Liu Ran nodded obediently. He would prefer not having to eat the same thing every day! Having it occasionally would do.

On the other hand, Ye Mo moped silently.

He had a feeling that Ye Ling would spoil their baby to no end when they finally had one in the future!

Ye Ling peered at his brother and only felt at ease to continue making breakfast when Mo did not show any signs of protest.

The sole female resident finally woke up. Liu Duo did a quick wash and ate her fill before taking Liu Ran to school.

"Sis, when do you plan to have a baby?" Liu Ran looked up at Liu Duo as they walked along. He was curious.

This was also the first time he asked about it.

Liu Duo looked right at him and turned the tables. "Ran Er, why are you asking that suddenly?"

She did not get why everyone was being nosey about it.

She might have settled on wanting a kid, but it would not happen immediately just because she decided to want one! They had to leave it to fate.

"I was thinking...When I have a nephew, I can play with him, teach him to read, go to school together..." Liu Ran rambled on, as though he could not wait for Liu Duo to give birth to a son quickly.

The smile never vanished from Liu Duo's face while Liu Ran spoke so animatedly. "Alright, I'll try to give you a nephew soon. Or a niece."

"That's great! I don't mind either. I'll protect them and won't ever let them be bullied!"

"Right."

The two siblings chatted as they made their way to school...

Liu Duo watched Liu Ran enter the classroom before she turned around to take the same route home.

It was not long before she met the ever-annoying Ye Xuan!

She averted her gaze when she noticed his cynical smile. She did not want to acknowledge him or look him in the eye.

"Duo Er, I haven't seen you taking Ran Er to school for a while now. Why's that?" Ye Xuan could not make out the repulsion she bore towards him and proceeded to hit on her.

Liu Duo evaded his advances and walked straight on. She had no intention to answer him.

Ye Xuan, who did not mind Liu Duo's attitude, caught up quickly. "Duo Er, it's been some time. It seems you've grown a little... fuller?"

He was staring lustfully at her breasts.

He had gotten uneasy in their time apart, as though he was haunted by an unbearable itch. Even if he could not get the real thing now, he could console himself just by looking.

At the sight of Ye Xuan's rude behavior, Liu Duo slightly furrowed her brows and was about to give him a slap on the mouth when he got hold of her wrist before she could land one on him.

"Duo Er, women should be gentle. You shouldn't react so violently."

Having been kicked in the groin before, Ye Xuan had grown defensive, but he still very much adored Liu Duo's barbaric ways.

In his mind, he pictured the bedroom affairs between her and the four brothers. Would she be just as barbaric?

Liu Duo was completely disgusted by his grip on her wrist. "Get your filthy hands off me!"

She wanted to pull away her hand, but the disparity in strength made it impossible to do so. She could not free herself from Ye Xuan's grasp.
