Chapter 568

It was a while later when Ye Mo stopped walking and stared at a random spot, deep in thought.

Liu Duo looked around them. The bamboo had already grown lush and straight, despite not being cared for. What a rare sight!

This went on for some time, each not bothering the other as they stared in different directions.

The sky had begun to darken. Liu Duo eyed him once and turned away, heading towards home.

Fine, don’t bother then. Who cares…

Ye Mo saw her go, and quickly caught up, “Wife, I…”

Liu Duo lifted her head to glare at him, words on the tip of her tongue. But she just frowned and said, “What? Just say it, don’t beat around the bush. Are you a man or not?”

“What do you mean by that? It’s not like you haven’t experienced my manhood!” was his quick reply.

He didn’t like being talked to that way. He didn’t like to have his manhood questioned! Anything but that!

What, was this guy desolated now? What for?

She gave him the stink eye and left, but he quickly encased her in his arms. She couldn’t shake away.

“Mo, let me go! You don’t want to go back, but I do! Just stay here and look around the scenery, but I don’t want to!”

“No, I won’t!” Ye Mo stared at her. He might have been overbearing but his lips curled up into a smile, as he was feeling really good about himself.

Liu Duo had come out herself, so could she have wanted to accompany him?

He thought about that and asked, “Wife, why did you follow here anyway? Are you here to keep me company?”

Liu Duo didn’t like where this was going and gave him a shove, but he only held her tighter. “Who’s following you? There are roads leading to so many places, I’ll go where I please! What’s that got to do with you? Narcissist!”

The desolation on Ye Mo’s face vanished when Liu Duo rolled her eyes.

He lowered his head, closed in on her, and whispered in her ears, “I’m sorry, my wife… I shouldn’t roar at you like that, did I scare you? I’m really sorry.”

Er…

What was going on here? The change came so quickly it caught her off guard. Was this guy apologizing to her?

For a moment, her mind went blank and she forgot how to react.

It wasn’t the first time he had apologized to her. There were so many occasions he had angered her in the past, but this warm apology said in a whisper was definitely a first.

She wondered, so this guy actually has such a gentle voice? How soothing!

Ye Mo had apologized to her but Liu Duo failed to react. So he went ahead to pinch her soft cheeks. “Wife, are you there? I’m speaking to you. You better not be distracted.”

He felt puzzled. He was already imitating Ling’s tone and apologizing to her…why hadn’t she responded?

Then something else happened. Liu Duo came to her senses and doubted this man had ever really had a soft side. She must have been drunk to fall for it so easily.

She slapped the hand pinching her cheek. The redness could have either been caused by the pinching or because she got bashful, for she later said, “Why do you care? Even if I’m distracted, it’s got nothing to do with you. Release me!”

“No, I don’t want to!” Ye Mo locked her around the waist with both his hands, such that they were closely attached. “Wife, I’ve apologized to you, why haven’t you responded?”

Respond?”

“And how should I respond? You apologizing is one thing, whether I accept or not is my decision! And I can tell you clearly now that I don’t!” Liu Duo rolled her eyes. What had happened just now was truly an illusion. It seemed like the men enjoyed playing tricks on her.

The art of seduction?

She secretly despised herself. Why couldn’t she hold herself against temptation? Damn it!
