Ye Liu was topless, wearing only his modified underwear, as he walked with particular pride, his unruly hair swaying about. What a showoff.

His eyes twinkled with delight when he caught Liu Duo staring at him. "Little Duo, don't stare at me like that. It's embarrassing."

Liu Duo rolled her eyes.

Embarrassing?

If he even knew what that word meant, it would be a miracle!

"Stop being crazy and come to bed."

She lay down with her back against him, obviously not in the mood to talk.

But that would not stop someone as thick-skinned as Ye Liu, who could express himself with more than just words.

He strode to the side, took off his shoes, and climbed into bed, leaning closely next to her. He wrapped her waist in his hands and placed his leg on hers.

"Little Duo, talk to me. I can't sleep."

He had finally waited for his turn. He would not want to sleep so soon.

"Then go downstairs and make yourself useful with work. Peel the garlic, for all I care. Come back when you're sleepy! At least you can help lighten Aunt Li's workload for tomorrow," Liu Duo snapped at him.

Ye Liu could smell the fragrance emitted from her neck and, in a slightly husky voice, said, "But I don't want to work downstairs. I want to work here."

Having lived so long together, of course Liu Duo knew what he wanted.

Even though she had never been pregnant in either lifetime, she heard before that it would be unwise to have bedroom affairs within the first three months of pregnancy, due to the risk of miscarriage.

"You should be tired after a hard day's work. Get some sleep." Liu Duo shoved his leg off hers and moved slightly further away.

"When you're in town tomorrow, buy some cotton, so that I can learn needlework from Ling and Sister Lian."

She wanted to personally make some baby clothes for her unborn child. It would be quite meaningful.

She could very well buy what was ready-made, but Liu Duo thought that she had hardly anything to do around the house anyway, so she might as well take the time to pick up needlework.

It was Ye Ling who had been making cloth pads for her to deal with her menstruation. She felt useless. She could not help with anything.

At least they let her feed herself!

"Sure, I'll remember that," Ye Liu promised.

He moved his body too, and he was sticking to her again. "I'm not tired. In fact, I feel great. I can show you exactly how much energy I have.

With that, he turned her over and leaned onto her, giving her kisses while his hands wandered up and down her body…

Liu Duo tried to evade but the man was too passionate. She could not escape.

"Hey, Liuzi. Y-You can't do this. Not now, while I'm pregnant."

"Why not?" Ye Liu's voice had become extremely husky.

What is the reason for this?

He had never heard of it!

"Get down, and I'll explain it to you." Liu Duo tried to push him off, but he was as heavy as a rock.

"No, you can tell me after we finish. Little Duo, please be good..."

Ye Liu could barely contain himself. His body's primitive instincts had taken over his head. He needed some sort of release.

He took off his underwear in a heartbeat, his experienced hands moving fast as he tried to forcefully remove hers.

"Liuzi, listen to me. This cannot wait." Liu Duo's body twisted and turned, denying his advances.
