Chapter 668: No Longer Pulled A Long Face And Thought Things Through
“No comment!” Ye Mo said unwillingly, gritting his teeth.
He was furious at the mentioning of this but there was nothing he could do. Yang and Ling had agreed. Under this circumstance, two against one, he was powerless.
Moreover, it was an easy guess that Liu agreed to let Liu Duo go too. Therefore, it came to three against one. His objection no longer mattered!
Deep down, he certainly did not want Liu Duo to go with Dongfang Ming, even if Ye Ling would be there with her!
Ye Liu’s mischievous smile emerged on his face. “Yo, this is rare. You really don’t have anything to say about this, Mo? I thought you’d be barking nonsense by now, going on about ‘you are not allowed’ or ‘I disagree!'”
He pushed it even further by imitating Ye Mo’s arrogant tone he used whenever he got fired up. The younger brother kept his voice down, however, because he did not want Ye Ling and the others to think that they were quarreling.
Ye Mo rolled his eyes and kept his thoughts to himself. Buzz off, Ling! I wasn’t that fierce! You only know how to smear my name!
“Brother Ling, I’ve brought my change of clothes.” Liu Ran’s joyful voice rang out.
Ye Liu went ahead to fetch hot water into the bathroom.
Then he returned to the kitchen again to continue their chitchat.
After peering at the door, Ye Liu said, “Mo, it’s not a bad idea letting Little Duo go flower viewing with Ling and Brother Dongfang. We can use this time to widen her bed!”
Ye Mo’s face immediately lightened up. Right! I’d almost forgotten about that. I want to widen the bed in her room when she’s not around!
“That’s so true! Then they can go as they please. I have nothing else to say,” Ye Mo said as he added more wood to the fire, making excuses for his previous disagreement.
Ye Liu only laughed at this and said nothing. Of course he knew how his own brother’s mind worked.
As long as he no longer pulled a long face and thought things through.
They all took their respective showers and got back to their own rooms. Ye Ling spent the night with Liu Duo.
Several days had passed when they were finally greeted by fine weather. Dongfang Ming had arranged a horse carriage for Liu Duo and Ye Ling.
The coachman tied up the carriage and entered the yard. “Master Ye, my master sent me to fetch Master Ye Ling and Madam Ye.”
“Sure, why don’t you come in first? Neither of them is up yet, so you might have to wait a while. On that note, you came quite early too, have you taken your breakfast?” Ye Liu greeted him with a smile. He had just finished washing up too.
Ye Yang, who was cleaning up the yard, also thought of the same thing. The coachman had come unusually early.
But he did not let it show. Instead, he looked up to check on the fourth floor before going back to sweeping the leaves.
Ye Mo peered at the coachman, looking cross. They were just going to look at flowers, why must he come so early?
The coachman could sense Ye Mo’s unfriendly gaze on him and felt extremely diffident. He imagined the man could come over and beat him to a pulp at any given moment.
He coughed dryly and chose his words carefully. “Since they’re not up yet, I’ll wait. I’ve had my breakfast.”
He was just an average peasant so, unlike the members of the Ye household, he did not have the privilege of sleeping in.
“Of course you have to wait! Or do you want us to wake them up right now? Why did you come so early then? It’s just looking at flowers, not attending an exam!”
To Ye Mo, the coachman might just as well be Dongfang Ming in person. Why did he hate the man so much?
