Hearing that, he blushed and stayed quiet. The last few times he had slept with Liu Duo, they had used their own blankets and were further away. This was the first time they had been so close.

He remained silent, so Liu Duo continued, "Ling, there's something I want to ask you. You have to answer honestly. Don't lie to me."

She also knew Ye Ling had become shy again, so she stopped with the teasing.

"Alright," he nodded and looked at her with red cheeks, waiting for her question.

She giggled, "See, Ling, I'm your wife. So when someone is bullying me, would you say you should be on my side?"

She had to give him a proper education, nurture him to become his wife's protector and not his brother's defender!

"Of course, I'll stand on your side. No one can bully you," Ye Ling quickly stated his position. He would not let Liu Duo be bullied again.

"So from now on, if anyone bullies me, you have to speak for me, even if it's against your brothers," Liu Duo added. Outsiders could never bully her.

With that, Ye Ling looked at her with determination on his face, "Rest assured, Liu Duo. My brothers and I will never bully you. You are the precious gemstone we hold in our hands. Whoever it is, we will not let them bully you."

Gemstone in your hands? Oh my, Ling knows how to say these words? She found this unexpected.

But having her husband say this to her mades Liu Duo very happy, and she grinned from ear to ear.

"So, Ling, next time Little Mo bullies me, you'll have to stand by me and fight against him, not with him." This was the important part.

At the mention of Ye Mo, Ye Ling furrowed his brows, "Duo Er, Mo is just a bit impatient, but he would never bully you. He's a kind man with great character."

Ye Mo and Ye Ling had the best relationship. This was not to say that he was not close to Ye Yang and Ye Liu, but Mo had always been with him at home. They had grown up together and accompanied each other. Ye Ling was a little dependent on him, so he cared for him a little bit more, and was more tolerant of him.

If Ye Mo were weak, and their parents were gone, and their grandmother did not care for them after they split the property, and with Yang and Liu always working outside, leaving him and Mo at home, wouldn't they be bullied often?

When he was in school, Ye Mo would tone down his aggression. But ever since quitting school, it was like his whole personality had been set free. Whoever had a bone to pick with them, or whoever bullied them, would have to face his wrath!

He won't bully her? Whatever. Ling would defend his brother to the end. This also meant that they had a strong brotherhood. She should be glad.

She stretched a hand and flattened his furrowed brow. She smiled, "Alright, stop frowning. You look like an old geezer, and old geezers just don't match well with the looks of a pretty little flower like me!"
