Liu Duo had not realized it, but their conversations had begun to consist of more harmonious intimacy and less frequently resembled two bombs colliding and causing fireworks.

There was still no response, so Ye Liu knocked again.

After Ye Mo had had some time to recover, Liu Duo was about to get the door. He stopped her, “Put on your clothes first.”

Liu Duo obeyed this time, and went to open the door once she was decent.

The door creaked open and the three brothers immediately entered. They saw Ye Mo sitting by the table amassed with rice paper and writing brushes, a posture that suggested he was in the process of writing.

“Oh, they’re really writing!” Ye Liu walked over mischievously and placed a hand on Ye Mo’s shoulder while looking at all the paper scattered across the board.

Still feeling a bit painful down there, Ye Mo coolly nodded, “Of course.”

Liu Duo couldn’t help but be impressed by Ye Mo, who could lie without being caught. This fellow was certainly Liuzi’s double – right down to the acting skills!

Ye Yang looked at the characters on the rice paper, then again at the brush. Without a trace of emotion at all, he lightly said, “The brush isn’t dabbed in ink!”

Liu Duo looked at him in surprise. He didn’t need to be so direct! How vicious he was that his eyes had managed to spot that!

Ye Mo was stunned too. The brush had ink on it some time ago, so Ye Liu couldn’t possibly tell whether it had been dabbed in ink that day, right?

Ye Liu, smart as he was, had long realized that. He just hadn’t said it. So it was unexpected when Ye Yang pointed it out. Ye Liu silently gave him a thumbs up in praise of his observation!

Initially, he wanted to allow Ye Mo the chance to confess what he and Liu Duo had been doing behind their backs.

Only Ye Ling cluelessly looked from Yang to Mo. He grabbed the brush and drew a line on his arm. Indeed, it came off clean without any ink at all.

“Mo, you’re lying!” He looked at Ye Mo surprisingly. He hadn’t expected this.

Liu Duo, who was holding onto Ye Yang’s arm, just looked at Ye Mo, wondering how he was going to save himself from his lie. He deserved it for not coming up with a script beforehand!

Ye Mo gulped and sneakily glanced at Liu Duo. She seemed to be rejoicing at his predicament, with little intention to help him out. He felt utterly defeated.

“Little Mo, were you bullying Little Duo again? Don’t think just because you are literate, that we can’t do anything to you!” Ye Liu smirked, teasing Ye Mo.

He wouldn’t fall for Mo’s little trick! There was no need to lock the door for a writing lesson!

Oh dear, his story hadn’t worked? He had totally forgotten that Liu was a cunning one who would strike first and talk later!

Mo looked at Ye Yang and his cold, expressionless face, heart thumping in fear.

Then he came face to face with Ye Ling’s disappointment and disapproval. Ye Mo didn’t know what to do. His three brothers were ganging up on him, and he was scared.

Liu Duo found it funny to see Ye Mo running out of ideas, “Yang, Liuzi, Ling, you guys can drop it. Little Mo wasn’t bullying me.”

Whatever… She should give him a hand. He had probably learnt his lesson from the kick she gave him moments earlier.

“Don’t cover for him! Duo Er, you screamed really loud. I should have come in. Mo must have bullied you. Don’t be afraid, tell us. We’ll protect you!” Ye Ling furrowed his brow at her.

It was rare for Ye Ling to take someone’s side, other than his brother’s. He wanted to teach Ye Mo a lesson, if it were the last thing he would do, which left Liu Duo quite stunned. She thought, Since when did he stop defending his brothers and switch his allegiance to his wife instead?
