Chapter 417 - Yes, Yes, Yes, You Didn’t Invite Me, I’m The Narcissist!

They spent the whole morning purchasing tomatoes at Shengli Town.

By noon, as they were returning home on their ox-cart, Liu Duo looked at the bright red tomatoes they had collected and asked, “Mo, how much do we have here altogether?”

She hadn’t looked at the accounts book, so she didn’t know the sum, but it seemed like they got a lot.

Ye Mo answered, “One hundred and ten jin in total.

“Later in the afternoon, please go to town and buy some sugar. And a few jars as well. About this big,” she gestured the size with her hands as she spoke.

To make tomato sauce, they had to get the necessary materials ready first.

She hadn’t expected they would be able to purchase tomatoes so soon. She hadn’t had time to make the preparations.

“Darling, do you want to go too? Maybe we can shop for a bit,” Ye Mo suggested cooly, eyes twinkling in delight.

Are you asking me out on a date?

This was the first time he had actively invited her to shop in town! In the past, he almost never let her, and he wouldn’t want her to go, because she wouldn’t stop buying things.

But she shook her head, “No, I’m fetching Ran Er home from school in the afternoon.”

Today was the day Liu Ran could return home, and Liu Duo would personally fetch him every time, just as she would if he were her own kid.

Ye Mo wasn’t pleased to hear that. “He’s not young, he can come back himself, can’t he? It’s not like he doesn’t know the way.”

The kid was ten. After few years, he could get engaged! When Ye Mo had gone to school all those years before, he had always gotten home himself.

Jealous of the brother-in-law? Ye Liu smirked, “Little Mo, it’s true Ran Er knows the way, but he’s the youngest here, so of course Little Duo would be worried! Am I right?”

He looked back at Liu Duo and winked, as though to ask for her praise.

Liu Duo could feel Ye Mo’s strong dissatisfaction too. It was quite rare for her to do so, but she held him by his arm and shook him while coaxing him sweetly, “Ask me out next time, and I’ll come, alright?”

This was his first invitation to her, yet she had rejected it. She felt she had to make it up to him.

Ye Mo cast her a glance. Out of spite, he said, “Who says I’m inviting you? Narcissist! It was spur of the moment. Who cares what you want?!”

And then he gently shoved her away and freed his arm from her grasp.

But deep down, he was very happy that Liu Duo had tried to coax him.

Liu Duo didn’t like his response, What an immature, self-contradicting, petty, little man?!

She tried again, more fondly this time, “Yes, yes, yes, you didn’t invite me, I’m the narcissist!”

It wasn’t every day that Liu Duo would treat him like this. Ye Mo was practically on seventh heaven.

By the time the three of them had reached home, Ye Yang and Ye Ling were already back and preparing lunch.

Liu Duo took a few tomatoes to the kitchen, “Yang, Ling, let’s add another dish today. Scrambled eggs with tomatoes! It’s nutritious and tastes good too!”

Ye Ling grinned at Liu Duo, “Sure, whatever you like.”

They usually had it raw. Why would they scramble tomatoes together with eggs? What a waste?!

Liu Duo fetched a few to wash, cut them into pieces, and placed them on a plate, “Ling, I’ve got them ready here.”

She took the four that were left, cut them into slices, and placed them onto another plate. Then she sprinkled the remaining sugar onto them.

Next, she beat four eggs in a bowl, “Yang, how are our tomatoes looking today?”
