Compared to Ye Xuan, Dongfang Ming was even more loathsome!
Ye Mo hated Ye Xuan because of the awkward familial bond they had and nothing else. But Dongfang Ming was a different story, because Dongfang Ming seemed to have a thing for Liu Duo. He could be over-thinking it, but he just didn’t like him!
Dongfang Ming didn’t deny what Ye Liu said. He understood very well the price and significance of integrity.
So he smiled and nodded, “No matter, then we shall not discuss the tomato sauce. Let’s talk about frozen fruit salad.”
And then the two began their serious discussion. Liu Duo listened to them from nearby, while Ye Mo and Li Wazi went to help Ye Yang with the rice.
“Little Duo, about this frozen fruit salad, does it come in other varieties?” Ye Liu asked her.
If she could think of this one, perhaps there could be others?
Liu Duo, who had been listening, nodded, “Of course, we can have a series of cold drinks. Since we have frozen fruit salad, it makes sense to have chilled fruit juice, like apple juice, pear juice, grape juice…”
Liu Duo joined in their discussion and provided many ideas and suggestions. The more Dongfang Ming listened to her, the more his eyes twinkled and sparked, but he hid them well.
If his hunch was correct, Liu Duo still had many thoughts and creative ideas. Becoming a millionaire would be as easy as pie!
Ye Mo muttered on the side, “It’s just a discussion about a partnership, how could they be so happy, laughing like that?”
Li Wazi glanced at the three inside and looked again at Ye Mo. “Mo, can’t they be happy? Isn’t that a good thing?”
“Li Wazi, I think you speak quite a lot of nonsense!”
“How could you say that? I’m clearly telling the truth!”
Li Wazi then looked at Ye Yang next to him. “Yang, say something. Am I right?”
Ye Yang looked at Liu Duo and her broad smile. He was in a good mood too.
Then he turned to Li Wazi and Ye Mo. He didn’t partake in their conversation, as he continued his work.
In the kitchen, Ye Ling, Aunt Li, and Little Lian were about to prepare lunch.
“Ling, that Mr Dongfang, does he want to stay for lunch?” Aunt Li asked. She wanted to estimate how much rice they had to cook.
“Yes, let’s make two extra servings today.” When Ye Ling had gone out just now, he saw Dongfang Ming discussing something with Ye Liu, and from what he heard, he knew he would be staying for a meal.
They finished talking about the details and that was that. Liu Duo left the conversation, leaving everything else to the two men.
She checked the cradle beside her and found that Little Huzi had woke up. She picked him up, changed his diaper, and took him to the kitchen.
“Sister Lian, Little Huzi’s awake. I’ve changed his diaper. Are you feeding him now or later?”
Every time Little Huzi woke up after a long sleep, they would change his diaper and proceed to breastfeeding, otherwise he would cry and that would be difficult to hush. But Little Lian was currently weaning him, so Little Huzi might have lots to cry about.
Little Lian did not stop working despite knowing that. “No, I’m weaning him. He’s not getting any. Although I let him have some once in a while.
She had barely finished speaking when Little Huzi started bawling all of a sudden.
Yet Liu Duo laughed. “You’re a smart little tyke, aren’t you? You know we’re talking about your food?”
The others joined in and laughed too.
“I have some steamed egg custard here, why don’t you feed him?” Aunt Li opened one of the steamers, and in there was a bowl of tender, yellowish steamed egg custard, looking quite appetizing.
