Chapter 848: I Don’t Know!
Liu Duo glanced up at him. “Hmmph…”
You messed up?
How many times has it been now?
At least five or six, mind you!
You always say you don’t mind whether it’s a boy or a girl, but once you found out I’m pregnant, it became obvious you still care!
Seeing the look of disbelief on her face, Ye Mo furrowed his brows in frustration. What could he do about this?
Ye Liu was the only one in the house who could brighten one’s mood with his words. The other three had no talent in this department.
“Then what can I do to make you believe? I swear, I won’t talk about getting a son anymore, otherwise… let the heavens strike me with lightning!”
“You swear? Strike you with lightning?” Liu Duo said in disdain. “What use is that? If you don’t do what you swore to do, will the heavens really strike you with lightning? Hah…”
If that really worked, then no one else on Earth would have gone back on their word time and time again!
“Then what must I do to make you believe?” Ye Mo fretted, his pitch rising.
What a loud one!
Liu Duo rubbed her ears. “I don’t know!”
She could not bother with him any longer, so she shoved him aside and headed to the kitchen.
Ye Mo did not block her this time. Frowning, he stood rooted to the spot as he watched his wife go.
She was almost at the kitchen door when she realized Ye Mo had not come forward to stop her. She muttered, does he intend to seek my forgiveness with such little resolve? Hmm… Not a chance!
“Dearie, are you hungry? Food’s almost ready.” Aunt Li smiled at her when Liu Duo popped in.
Ye Yang and Ye Liu had begun laying out the cutlery on the dining table.
“Little Duo, it’s quite smoky in the kitchen. You should refrain from going there.”
“I’m not a delicate princess.”
Liu Duo thought they were making a big fuss. She was just pregnant, and now she could not even enter the kitchen?
“We just like to treat you like one!” Ye Liu smirked mischievously as he contributed the awfully sweet comment.
Liu Duo felt like she had just consumed a pot of honey when she heard him say that, but she pretended otherwise and instead rolled her eyes at him.
Aunt Li looked at their interaction and smiled. The corners of her lips were wrinkled.
“Right!” She suddenly thought of something and said, “After lunch, you boys should spread the good news to your Aunt Ye; after all she’s your closest relative!”
Technically speaking, she was their only relative!
“Yes,” Ye Yang nodded.
They would not have forgotten it even if Aunt Li had not mentioned that.
Joyful laughter and conversation could be heard coming from the bustling kitchen. Sitting in the house alone, Ye Mo seemed dispirited and dejected.
He was thinking of ways to make his wife believe him and not stay mad at him.
Five minutes passed. His brothers brought the dishes out.
“Time for lunch… Hey, Mo, why are you looking like a piece of wood over there?”
Ye Liu saw his brother just sitting there with his back to them and spoke.
Ye Mo turned around when he heard Ye Liu, but he did not look at him at all. Instead, he focused on Liu Duo, who was talking to Ye Ling behind him.
Ye Liu followed his gaze and understood what was on Ye Mo’s mind.
He placed his bowl and chopsticks on the table and approached Ye Mo, patting him on the shoulder to show encouragement.
