"Dear Mo, show your sincerity to her. She'll definitely forgive you. Unless you choose not to relent and insist on wanting a boy!" Ye Liu whispered to him.

Naturally, he did not want to see the conflict between his brother and their wife.

They were a family! They should be living happily together!

Ye Mo looked at his brother, exasperated. "But how should I do that? She doesn't believe me!"

He swore just now, and that did not work.

Unless that was not sincere enough?

"So, have you run out of ideas already?"

Ye Liu rolled his eyes at him. "My dear Mo, if you truly seek her forgiveness, then you must apologize to her relentlessly. Keep doing that until she's ready to forgive you! Aren't you usually thick-skinned? Why have you turned shy when the big moment comes up?"

When Ye Mo heard that, his jaws twitched. He thought, when have I ever been thick-skinned? You're talking about yourself, right, Liu?

People always felt good about themselves. Ye Mo was no exception.

"Liu, Mo, what are you two having a talk about?" Ye Ling walked towards them, bringing Liu Duo with him.

Naturally, she stirred away from Ye Mo and went to sit somewhere by the table, ready for the meal.

The others filed in too, one after another.

"Lunchtime," Aunt Li called out to everyone.

Ye Yang sat next to Liu Duo. Ye Liu should be sitting on her other side, but currently, that spot was occupied by Ye Mo, with Ye Liu taking the seat next to him.

In a low whisper, Ye Liu urged his absent-minded brother desperately, "Dear Mo, pass her favorite side dishes to her. Be nice."

Ye Mo accepted his brother's cues. He raised his chopsticks and grabbed some food for Liu Duo.

"I don't need your help. It's not like I have no hands!" Liu Duo rejected his good intentions and returned the food he gave her.

Er...

Around the table, awkward silence fell, with Ye Mo being the most awkward one.

Ye Yang, who was not an adept speaker to begin with, naturally said nothing.

And Ye Ling refused to speak for Ye Mo this time.

How odd.

Ye Liu saw that their wife had returned the food which Ye Mo had passed to her back into the plate, and then Ye Mo made no other movements.

So he kicked his brother under the table, reminding him not to give up easily.

There were many people at the table too, so Mo would not want to look bad.

Ye Mo shot a glance at Ye Ling, showing that he understood, but what should he do now that his wife had rejected him directly in front of everyone?

How frustrating!

He gobbled down his food, not even touching the side dishes, and when he cleaned out his bowl he abruptly stood up and left for the stairs.

Only Aunt Li called out to him, "Mo dear, have you had enough?"

"Yes."

Ye Mo replied briefly before he disappeared into the stairway. He headed upstairs.

"Liu Duo, my girl, don't hold it against him, alright? He's just saying things. If you give birth to a daughter and he dares to treat her badly, I'll be the first one to fight him!" Aunt Li advised Liu Duo.

Beside her, Li Wazi opened his mouth, wanting to say something nice on behalf of Ye Mo, but he could not think of anything proper to say, so he shut it.

"Little Duo, Aunt Li's right. Don't sink yourself to Mo's level. If he dares to mistreat our future daughter, do you think Yang, Ling, and I will let him get away with it?"
