Chapter 387 - No Problem
Chapter 387: No Problem
When discussion turned to making babies, Aunt Ye became very passionate, as she and Aunt Li described about their personal experiences to Liu Duo at length. Little Lian contributed to the conversation every so often.
Liu Duo could only put up an awkward smile and reply by saying, “Ohh…” and “Ahh…” to brush it off.
If she were to say she wasn’t planning to get pregnant right away, the two women probably wouldn’t be able to accept the idea and would nag her endlessly.
Seeing Liu Duo in an uneasy position, Ye Yang told her to wash the dishes.
The house usually fed five people, and they only had about seven bowls.
There were extra guests there at the moment, and although Ye Liu had gone to buy more dinnerware the day before, but they hadn’t been washed yet.
She nodded, “Sure.”
She could conveniently escape the conversation. Although she didn’t mind their good intentions, it was definitely awkward for her.
Aunt Ye and Aunt Li had experience with childbirth, so of course they knew why Ye Yang had done what he did.
They cast a glance at each other gleefully and discontinued the topic.
They had decided to let the young resolve their own problems.
After all, when they finally had their own baby, of course the ladies would help take care of him or her.
In town, Ye Liu and Ye Mo were shopping for groceries. They were just about to head home after getting everything when they met Qin Fang.
“Liu, Mo, that’s a lot of food you have there. Are you holding a party at home?” Qin Fang giggled.
She was heading to the next town when they crossed paths. She asked out of curiosity.
Ye Liu smiled at her, “It’s nothing. Little Duo just wants to eat them. We’re bringing some over to her brother’s school too, so we bought a little extra.”
He didn’t plan to tell her that it was Liu Duo’s birthday.
Liu Duo hadn’t said she wanted to invite her, so he wasn’t going to decide for her. They were merely business partners and weren’t personally close.
“Alright, say hi to her for me. Tell her to visit me when she’s free. I won’t take up your time anymore. I have to check the accounts in the other branch,” Qin Fang told them.
It had been a while since she had last seen Liu Duo in town. She quite missed her.
“No problem,” Ye Liu smirked.
Ye Mo eyed her once, impatience reflecting on his face. It was none of her business how much they bought.
She was delaying them with her small talk. He wanted to go home as soon as possible to be with his wife!
Her birthday was important, and he didn’t want to wander outside for too long.
They hadn’t traveled far on their ox-cart when Qin Fang caught up to them, “Wait a moment, Liu. There’s something I almost forgot to tell you. Please pass a message to Sister Duo.”
Ye Liu halted the cart and smiled at her, “What is it? Do tell, Miss Fang.”
“Miss Fang, make it quick. It’ll get hot soon!” Ye Mo’s tone was rather unkind.
Who did she think she was?
Qin Fang was quite observant as she responded with a smile, “Oh dear, you can’t wait to get back to Sister Duo, can you, Mo?”
Ye Mo blushed a little when he realized Qin Fang had read his mind, but his darker skin managed to hide the shyness.
But it was clear to see from his ears.
“Oh, it’s actually nothing important. It’s just that our boss will be making a trip to our town very soon, and he’d like to have a meal with Sister Duo,” Qin Fang told Ye Liu.
Last time, their boss had invited Liu Duo to the capital, firstly because he wanted to meet her, and secondly because they had opened a new branch and wanted her to witness the glorious event together.
It was unexpected that Liu Duo had chosen to not go, even though she wouldn’t have needed to spend a single penny.
