Chapter 728 - Was This Land Famous For Producing Handsome Men?

She glared at Ye Mo as she said so.

Ye Mo stared at both Little Tian and Wang Xiangyun as he listened to the accusation.

He walked into the other person because he was not paying attention to where he was going. He did not need Little Tian reminding him to apologize. “I’m sorry,” he said.

He bore no expression on his face, not a bit surprised to see that he’d stumbled upon a beautiful maiden.

Wang Xiangyun was a real beauty indeed but, to him, he would only have room for Liu Duo, the fairest one of all!

Of course, the same went for his three brothers. No other women could compare to their wife, Liu Duo, no matter how beautiful they were. In their eyes, those women were nothing more than grains of sand.

At that moment, Wang Xiangyun removed herself from her thoughts and turned her attention to Ye Mo, who had apologized first. “No matter, I almost walked into you too. Sorry.”

She had originally thought that, in this small town, Ye Ling was already considered quite good-looking. And here she was, face to face with another handsome man whose appearance was pretty much on par with him!

Was this land famous for producing handsome men?

Ye Mo looked at her again but did not continue talking. He lifted his foot, preparing to march on, when Little Tian spoke. “Miss, look at him! He’s the one who walked into you and yet he’s so smug about it! Why are you apologizing?”

Ye Mo eyed her once but went on his way. He still had errands to run and could not bother having a debate with them about attitude.

“Little Tian, watch your words!” Wang Xiangyun disagreed with her. She glanced over at Ye Mo who was leaving. “It’s true he almost walked into me, and I wasn’t watching where I was going either, so I can’t blame him. Perhaps that’s how the man has always been. He’s probably not being smug on purpose.”

They walked in the same direction Ye Mo had been headed. It was about time they returned to the tailor shop.

Little Tian listened to her lady. Despite holding different opinions, she forwent the debate and followed Wang Xiangyun.

Ye Mo arrived at the tailor shop entrance and wavered, indecisive about going in. He had not sorted out the reason he came for the portraits.

“Ye Mo, why are you wandering over here? Have you come to get some new clothes or fabric for Little Duo?” Qin Fang popped out from the shop. She was about to head over to their branch in the neighboring town.

Ye Mo greeted her politely. “Miss Fang,” he said, peering into the shop, “no, I didn’t come for that. Is Mr. Dongfang here?”

“Yes, he is. Are you looking for him? I can bring you to his room,” she replied zealously.

Ye Mo quickly shook his head when she offered. He stiffened a bit and said, “No, nothing, I’m just asking.”

Right then, Wang Xiangyun and Little Duo came to the shop and overheard their conversation. The lady cut in, “Are you looking for Brother Ming?”

She found it odd that Ye Mo was acquainted with Dongfang Ming.

“Miss Wang.” Qin Fang greeted her with a smile. Wang Xiangyun was also staying at the loft behind their shop. Qin Fang could guess what the relationship was between the lady and Dongfang Ming.

Wang Xiangyun also nodded politely in return.

Qin Fang had an errand to run, so she said to Ye Mo, “Ye Mo, if there’s nothing else, I shall take my leave then. I have other business to attend to.”

“Alright, go ahead, Miss Fang. It’s about time I head back too.” Ye Mo could not think of a good excuse to retrieve the portraits. He decided not to linger.

They exchanged a few more words before Qin Fang left.

Ye Mo was about to take off too when Wang Xiangyun promptly blocked his way.
