Chapter 481: Stop Barking, It’s Still Daytime
On the other end, Ye Ling would blush whenever he saw her. He didn’t know why, but perhaps she had gotten prettier.
Liu Duo had barely reached the well when Ye Liu caught up, “Little Duo, scoot over. I haven’t washed up either.”
She rolled her eyes at him as she gargled, but she moved aside nonetheless. Damn you. There’s so much space around her, yet I have to move? He needs a lesson!
Of course, Ye Liu had done it on purpose. He just wanted to wash up beside her.
Ye Yang took the farming tools from the backyard and walked to the front. He took note of Liu Duo washing up and then went out the door towards the farm.
Ye Mo sat aside watching the two of them, seemingly displeased.
When Liu Duo was finished, she went to have breakfast. Shooting a glance at Ye Mo, she said, “Little Mo, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?”
What’s wrong with him? Why is he giving me that strange look?
Ye Mo released a breath through his nostrils and got up to pack the things for the trip later.
This only triggered her suspicions even more. Had he lost his mind more than usual?
Ye Liu saw their interaction and chuckled. Ha, someone’s twenty-one and still immature!
They were brothers. He knew what was going on inside Ye Mo’s head.
He understood Ye Mo pretty well. The younger brother may have been short-fused, but deep down he was actually quite childish.
The two brothers left for town on their ox-cart when Li Wazi’s family arrived.
Ye Ling brought them to the kitchen to process the tomato sauce, while Liu Duo stayed in the front to deal with tomato purchases, manage accounts, and look after Little Huzi.
Just like that, half an hour passed.
Right after Liu Duo changed Little Huzi’s diaper, Hei Xiaomeng started barking at their door. Its bark was loud and penetrable.
Liu Duo wanted to call it back, but then she noticed that it was baring its fangs. It was fiercer than ever, and it didn’t heed her instruction. Whoever was approaching might not be an ordinary stranger.
Liu Duo carried Little Huzi and approached the dog, wondering what was wrong, “Hei Xiaomeng, stop barking. It’s still daytime…”
They got to the door and saw the horse carriage that had dropped them off at home the previous night. Liu Duo furrowed her brow.
The coachman was facing Hei Xiaomeng with a whip in his hand. No wonder the dog was barking like crazy.
The coachman saw Liu Duo and greeted her, “We meet again, Madam Ye. I was wondering if you could tie it up.”
Hei Xiaomeng had been there the night before when Liu Duo and Ye Liu had gotten out of the carriage, yet it hadn’t barked then.
Liu Duo grinned, “I’m afraid I can’t do that. Hei Xiaomeng has never been tied up before. But it won’t bite, as long as you put down your whip and don’t start a fight.”
Then she approached the dog, “Hei Xiaomeng, be a good dog and sit. Don’t bark at our guest.”
The coachman listened to Liu Duo and put down his whip. Hei Xiaomeng saw that the threat had been resolved and went to sit by her feet.
“Master, you can get down now,” the coachman said in a respected manner to the man behind the curtain.
After that, a white folding fan protruded from behind the curtain. The coachman helped hold the curtain open and Dongfang Ming, dressed in white, bent down, stepped out of the carriage, and stood before her.
He was already quite tall, so he only seemed taller when standing on the deck. A breeze blew through the bamboo forest, and his hair and clothes drifted about in the wind. No words could describe his picturesque appearance.
