“Okay. I understand mom. While we are in town tomorrow, we can also buy some tonics for my wife to replenish her body.”
Initially, he had wanted to go buy them today, using the money Liu Duo gave him. Even if she hadn’t mentioned it, he would still buy tonic for his wife to replenish her body.
“Okay, good.” Aunt Li felt grateful that her son cared so much for his wife.
After Liu Duo had dinner and a comfortable bath, she went and laid down on the bed. She tried to figure out how much she should charge for one jin of bamboo shoots the next day.
At that moment, Ye Liu walked in, sat on the side of the bed, and lowered his head to look at Liu Duo. “Little Duo, are you thinking of Liu? See how Liu appeared right in front of you after you thought of me.”
Liu Duo looked at Ye Liu’s handsome, seductive face. She ignored his strange behavior and asked very seriously, “Mr. Liuzi, how much should we charge for one jin of bamboo shoots tomorrow?”
Ye Liu touched his chin when he heard her. He thought for a while and said, “Usually, no one sells bamboo shoots and no one eats them. People might not be able to accept it when we start selling them. We will bring some stir-fried bamboo shoots tomorrow morning and let them try it before they buy. Once they have tried it, they definitely will praise it endlessly. So, let’s sell it at ten wens per jin.”
Not a lot of people ate bamboo shoots. If they sold it at too high a price, most people would still not be able to accept it, even if they tried it and tasted that it wasn’t bitter.
“Okay, we will do that.” Liu Duo felt that what he said was quite good. Let them try it before they buy it. This was a good idea.
Ye Liu saw that he had solved a difficult problem for her, and he moved his body closer to hers. He smiled evilly and said, “Little Duo, I already answered your question. You are very satisfied with it. Shouldn’t you give me a little reward?”
“A reward my ass! Get up.” His handsome face was very close to hers, and she pushed it away. “Are you still not going to go back to your room? Ling and I are about to sleep.”
Ye Ling was still bathing, so he wasn’t in the bedroom.
Ye Liu persevered and moved closer to her again. “Ling is still bathing. Little Duo, please give me a reward.”
And so, Liu Duo rolled her eyes at him. She wrapped herself in the blanket and turned her body so that her back was facing him. Since he wanted to behave shamelessly again, she decided to ignore him.
Ye Liu looked at the back of Liu Duo’s head and laughed, “Since Little Duo is shy, then Liu will take the initiative.”
He flipped Liu Duo’s body over, bent down, and kissed her forehead. “Goodnight my Little Duo. Remember to dream of me.”
He got up after he finished speaking and helped Liu Duo adjust the blanket. With a smile on his face, he turned around and left.
Liu Duo turned her body around, lying on her stomach, and looked at his back. Her heart was beating quickly. She thought that he would give her a French kiss. After all, this guy always loved to take advantage of her! She never would’ve thought that he would only kiss her forehead. Why did she feel a little bit disappointed?
She puckered her lips and muttered, “This evil bastard! Always teasing me!”
Ye Ling had just finished with his bath and returned to the bedroom. When he entered, he saw Liu Duo lying on the bed on her stomach and looking at him.
“Duo Er, why haven’t you gone to sleep yet?” Ye Ling closed the bedroom door and walked over.
She looked at Ye Ling, who had just finished bathing, and saw that there were still a few droplets of water on his face and neck. Liu Duo laughed, “I was waiting for you, Ling.”
She felt that Ye Ling was becoming more and more delicate. She really liked his gentle, pale-faced scholar look.
“Oh.” Ye Ling shyly blew out the oil lamp. He took off his clothes, climbed into the bed, and covered himself with his own blanket.
He always just innocently used his own blanket. He never did what Ye Liu and Ye Mo did – shamelessly squeezing under Liu Duo’s blanket. Ye Yang also never did that. On the contrary, Liu Duo was the one who would squeeze under his blanket when they slept in the same bed.
