Sweet Rustic Love: Four Brothers’ Wife

The spring breeze blew past them, messing up their hair mischievously.

Liu Duo giggled, “Never mind. I’m not telling you.”

She had baited Ye Mo and Li Wazi’s curiosity, yet she settled on not telling them. They looked on helplessly, thinking, Women are so indecisive.

Li Chunmei and Xiao Ling just stood there, angrily watching them go farther and farther. Their hatred for Liu Duo increased.

Liu Duo felt a pair of eyes prying at her, and found the gaze belonged to Li Wazi.

“Who are you? Why are you always peeking at me? Can’t you look at me like a normal person?” This person should be good friends with Ye Mo, but he never introduced himself, so she did not know his name.

He had a lot of zeal, and he was very honest, so he left a good impression in her books.

Ye Mo gently nudged him with his elbow, eying him knowingly. Why are you always peeking at my wife? You better have a good explanation later.

“He’s my good pal, called Li Gener. He’s just like family.” Ye Mo introduced him briefly.

Liu Duo’s direct confrontation left Li Wazi in an awkward state.

“Oh, hi,” she nodded, and continued marching home.

Ye Mo saw Liu Duo had turned around. He pulled his friend in and whispered, “So, spill it. Why are you stealing glances at my wife?”

“Mo, I just thought your wife is quite special, and very impressive. Tell me, that day when you returned to teach her a lesson, did she actually tell you off instead?”

As Li Wazi pondered, the likelihood increased. He quietly looked at Liu Duo some more.

“The bruise on your face proves it!” He said pointing at Ye Mo, daring him to deny it.

Ye Mo’s mind was a chaotic mess. The more he wanted to forget about it, this friend kept on reminding him! How did he befriend such bad company?

Ye Mo gave Li Wazi a dirty look and said, “Bro, can you drop it? Since you’ve managed to guess, please don’t bring it up.”

Ye Mo could only helplessly tell the truth, otherwise Li Wazi could go spreading rumours. How unfortunate. He had successfully guessed the beginning, but he hadn’t quite guess the ending!

“Haha, I saw how well your wife carried herself back there, I thought you must have hit a brick wall!” Li Wazi guffawed.

I got punched, but this fellow won’t spare me any sympathy. He just kept teasing! I want to break off our friendship! Geez……

Still carrying a dirty look, he strode forward in huge steps, with Li Wazi’s laughter ringing in his ears.

Ye Liu was making his journey home when he saw Liu Duo and the gang from afar. Liu Duo waved when she saw him.

She had a kind of emotion similar to a wife’s excitement upon seeing her husband return home.

“Liu…” she shouted happily.

This sound was grating on Ye Mo’s ears though. The disparity was obvious.

Ye Liu heard her and rushed forward. “Little Duo, do you miss me? It’s so sweet, the way you called me like that.”

He swiped the tip of her nose in adoration.

“Like I will,” she put her chin up proudly with a smile on her face.

“Liu, what did you get in town.” Liu Duo naturally held his hand as they walked towards their home.

Li Wazi took in the view of their backs and patted Ye Mo on the shoulder, “Mo, I think your wife is much closer to your brother Liu than she is with you.”

Talk about receiving a critical hit by bad company. Ye Mo was utterly speechless.

It wasn’t that she’s closer to Liu, it was more like she was only never close to him!

He rolled his eyes at Li Wazi before walking towards the house too.
