Ye Yang, Ye Ling, and Li Wazi weren't the type to overthink so they didn't think too much about it when they heard him and naturally believed him.

Ye Liu, however, didn't believe him. His gaze appeared as if he was able to see through Ye Mo. This made Ye Mo not dare to exchange glances with him.

But Ye Liu didn't ask more about this. It was enough for him to know in his heart.

He would ask Ye Mo by himself when he had the time!

After dinner, Ye Mo went to the backyard to go to the outhouse. When he was heading back to the front yard, Ye Liu stopped him.

"Liu, what are you doing?"

Ye Mo looked at his second brother and immediately knew he came with the ill-intention of wanting to ask about what had happened in the afternoon. However, he kept on pretending like he didn't know.

Of the four brothers, only the two of them would always have many schemes. They would always be able to guess what the other was trying to pull. Of course, if their scheming ability had to be compared, Ye Liu would naturally be slightly better!

Ye Liu didn't beat around the bush either. He laughed like a hooligan. "Yo, Mo, what favors did you get from Little Duo this afternoon? Or did she promise you something?"

Ye Mo felt gloomy when he heard Liu asking so directly!

This was because he had accidentally exposed his thoughts the last time. Otherwise, how would Liu be able to guess correctly so easily?

"Liu, beloved did, in fact, promise me one thing. However, she said it is a secret between the two of us, so you should stop asking about it."

Ye Mo pulled out Liu Duo and made it seem like his ideas were hers. With this, his second brother would stop asking what it was about!

Using Little Duo to stop me from asking? Heh…

Ye Liu stretched his back and replied with indifference, "Okay. Since Little Duo said it is a secret between the two of you, I won't ask anymore."

After he spoke, he went toward the outhouse closeby.

Ye Mo looked at his hooliganish way of walking and a corner of his mouth raised up.

He muttered in a volume only he would hear, "You really are egoistic and pretentious! Liu, if you were a woman, you would be an evildoer who would damage the country and cause suffering to the people!"

Time passed by in the blink of an eye and a new day began again. It was one day closer to Ye Yang and the others' vacation to the capital.

Today was the day they would visit their in-laws. Liu Duo did something rare and woke up very early so she could help with some work that was within her capabilities.

In the capital…

Dongfang Ming stood in the attic of the Wansheng Building. He looked far into the distance with a frown and a gloominess on his face.

Actually, it was quite rare for such moods to appear on his face.

"Ming Yan, convey my message to Mr. Wang."

Dongfang Ming's gloomy face was filled with disappointment and also determination. "From today onwards, my brotherly friendship with him shall cease and I will never see him again!"

As he spoke, he used his hand as a knife and cut off a piece of his sleeve and handed it to Ming Yan.

He never would've thought Wang Xixuan would actually set a trap for him with his sister.

It was fortunate Ming Yan was nearby, otherwise, he would've definitely fallen into the trap!

A person would try a trick once, maybe twice, but never thrice. However, the sensible Wang Xixuan actually set the same trap for him the third time, giving up his brotherly friendship with Dongfang Ming for the sake of Wang Xiangyun.

It ruined Dongfang Ming's plan to go to Anping Town to visit Liu Duo and the others. He couldn't go on the journey even now.

"Understood." Ming Yan took the sleeve his master cut, turned around, and headed downstairs.

He knew his master had really hardened his heart this time. He really never would've thought Mr. Wang would actually use such a despicable trick!

Although he did this to resolve the entanglement in his sister's heart, this really hurt his master's heart too much.

He did not think the current Wang Xiangyun was worthy of his master!
