Chapter 210: Bothersome

“What are you saying?” Ye Mo shouted. “Who told you that I like Chunmei?” He got so angry that his face even darkened.

Yet his heart was raging, “Do I like Liu Duo? Do I like her? She’s not thinking about running again, and she’s not that hateful, and I might… just like her a bit?”

Ye Mo seemed to have a sort of epiphany upon Ye Ling’s reminder. Recently, he had seemed capable of containing his anger, which used to be impossible for him to do.

As he thought about it, he realized his behaviour had recently changed a lot too. It was as though he had become a whole other person. When was it that he had started to forbear and even to fight for affection?

He had gotten mad just then because Liu Duo wanted to spend time with Ye Liu instead of him. He felt it was unfair, so he was unhappy.

Ye Mo got curious and furrowed his brows when he realized Ling had sunken into silence after he had shouted twice. What was the matter with him? If he didn’t like Chunmei, then what did he have against Liu Duo?

“Mo, say something?”

“Like what?” He snapped back as he took the basket and knife and went out the door.

Ye Ling looked at Mo as he rushed out. He couldn’t understand what was up with his third brother.

If he liked Liu Duo, he should be good to her and make her happy. Yet he went for the complete opposite – always shouting at her and making her angry!

On the other hand, Liu Duo was feeling very cross as she walked down the road. She had done it to herself. She shouldn’t have been nice to that scumbag!

“Little Duo, what is it? Are you still mad?” Ye Liu teased her, finding her angry expression quite funny.

He noticed that Liu Duo liked to get mad at Ye Mo in particular. Only Ye Mo was able to make her so mad that her cheeks flushed red.

Liu Duo was still angry and didn’t want to reply. It was all so bothersome!

Ye Liu gently let go of her hand and went to cuddle her at the waist. He smiled, “Little Duo, you get mad at Mo easily, which means you like him. You wouldn’t usually make a fuss if other people were annoying you!”

Hearing that, Liu Duo furrowed her brow and thought, Oh dear, I like Little Mo? Why would I like him! He only knows how to anger me and ruffle my feathers – so much so that I’m getting wrinkles. Why would I like him?

“It’s only when you really like someone and really care for them that it’s easy to trigger an emotional response from them, like how you’re always so bashful and blushing in front of me. Similarly, I like to be close and respond only to you!”

Ye Liu kept talking like a know-it-all. He was full of himself.

When she heard that, she pushed away his ‘claws’ that were enclosing her and berated him, “Oh you shameless scoundrel! Stop spreading lies! When was I ever shy or blushing at you? Get a hold of yourself!” The redness in her cheeks became even redder.

In front of Ye Liu, it did seem as though she was easily embarrassed and flushed. It was easy to be charmed when he flirted.

With his hands on her waist again, Ye Liu feigned seriousness and nodded, “Yes, Little Duo, you were never shy or blushing in front of me! It is I who is always shy and blushing in front of you!”

Pffft! Seeing him acting prudish, Liu Duo couldn’t help but laugh. This man was such a clown.

“Oh, you’re smiling now? Why, you look better like that, Little Duo. When you’re aloof, you are as unlikable as a rotten egg!” Ye Liu felt better to see her smiling and no longer angry.
