Chapter 990 - Fate Will Decide

Just as he had predicted, staying behind was a smart move!

The wife woke up from her nap half an hour earlier than usual.

Liu Duo acknowledged the information and got down from the bed.

“Duo Er, let me comb your hair,” Ye Ling said, and went to get the comb.

On the street.

The men explored their surroundings, covering several streets and alleys. Their hands were still empty by the time they were done.

“Yang, Liu, I suppose it’s time we get back. Our wife might be awake by now,” Ye Mo suggested. “If they come looking for us, it may lead to trouble if we aren’t able to meet up.”

The streets in the capital intertwined with one another. Outsiders could easily get lost.

They might end up in a never-ending mess if they could not find one another.

“Sure, let’s head back.” Ye Liu nodded.

Ye Yang certainly did not oppose that idea. He took off first before Ye Liu had even finished speaking.

Ye Liu merely smiled and shook his head.

His eldest brother was not very fond of shopping. He would not have joined if they were not there to check out the environment!

Liu Duo kept smiling as she looked into the mirror at Ye Ling, who was combing her hair.

She could not resist calling out to him, “Ling.”

“Yes?” Ye Ling looked up at Liu Duo’s reflection. “Am I being too rough? I’ll be gentler.”

He thought he might have exerted too much force and caused her pain.

“No, not that. I just feel like calling you, hearing your voice, hehe…” Liu Duo smiled, showing her dimples.

The gentleman of the household was doing a fine job. He was not forceful.

Ye Ling smiled as well, feeling rather blissful.

After that, they stood by the window to admire the scenery outside, looking for the men as well.

“Duo Er, since we’re in the capital, do you want to pay Brother Ming a visit? He lives here, right?” Ye Ling suddenly thought of Dongfang Ming, also a gentleman.

Liu Duo blinked first, then smiled. “We should, but we don’t know where he stays.”

She had thought of it too, but Dongfang Ming had never given them his address, so they had no leads.

“That’s true. I guess that can’t be helped,” Ye Ling said regrettably.

Liu Duo could hear the regret in his tone. She leaned against him and said, “Fate will decide. Who knows, maybe we’ll bump into him while we’re here.”

“Maybe.” Perhaps Liu Duo was right. Fate would take its course.

Ye Yang was walking in front, taking the lead when someone bumped into him out of the blue.

“S-so sorry about that,” the man, with his head hung low, apologized first.

Not waiting for Ye Yang to respond, the stranger was about to leave, when Ye Yang promptly grabbed him by the collar.

Ye Liu and Ye Mo exchanged glances and raced to the front.

“Yang, what happened?” Ye Mo frowned.

His brother was not one to make trouble.

Ye Liu, arms folded at the chest, observed the man. Then, he smirked. “This rascal’s a pickpocket!”

Ye Yang, whose one hand had the culprit trapped at the collar, stretched out his other hand, hinting for the man to give back what he stole.
