Ye Yang and his brothers got back just in time for dinner. Ye Yang said nothing when he saw Ye Liu in new clothes, but Ye Mo took a longer look.

"Dinner's ready. The timing is just right," Liu Duo giggled, happy to have all five of them together.

The brothers stared in awe at the refined white rice, fried meat with bamboo shoots, ribs, egg soup, and a plate of fried vegetables, all of which were even better than the food they had eaten at New Year's. They were instantly filled with gratitude.

This was all from Liu Duo's efforts. Without her, they wouldn't be able to eat so well!

Liu Duo felt deflated when she saw them not taking up their chopsticks, "What's the matter? Why aren't you all eating?"

Ye Liu took up his chopsticks when he heard her, "Little Duo, we were thinking thay, if you abandon us, we'll have to go back to eating rough powder and paste for the rest of our lives!"

Ye Yang looked at Liu Duo and said nothing. He agreed with Ye Liu, because those were his exact thoughts too. Ye Mo furrowed his brow, seemingly disturbed.

"Why are big, strong men like you having delusions like this?" Liu Duo rolled her eyes at them. They could overthink even more than the womenfolk.

"I believe Duo Er will never leave us," Ye Ling looked at Liu Duo with an air of determination.

Liu Duo nodded, giggling. Ye Ling was just as adorable as always.

After the meal, Liu Duo felt bloated, like she might explode at any time. It wasn't that she was gluttonous, but the crops there were not polluted, and the pigs were raised on real food, so the quality of the meat was very fine, and it tasted really good after being fried. It was so irresistible that she had eaten a little more than usual.

Ye Ling went to do the dishes while Ye Mo cleaned up the table and the kitchen. Ye Yang swept the floor while arrogant Ye Liu sat beside Liu Duo.

"Little Duo, are you stuffed? Here, let me give you a rub," He stretched his hands out and rubbed her stomach.

Liu Duo slapped his hands away and eyed him, "Who says you can do that? Look around you. Your brothers are busy cleaning up, so you're the laziest!"

This fool planned to take advantage of her again, and he thought she didn't know.

Ye Liu did not comply, and wrapped his arm around her shoulders, pretending to have been wronged, "Make no mistake, Little Duo. I am here having a chat with you to alleviate your boredom, and I even rubbed your stomach for you to feel better. It's both verbal and manual work. How can you call me lazy when I'm doing so much?"

The corner of her mouth twitched. This nitwit was going crazy after a full meal.

Ye Liu mischievously leaned his head on her shoulder when she did not reply. He blew into her ear, "Little Duo, just look closely at the four of us. We're all handsome and diligent, and we treat you well. Isn't this bliss? You should treasure us. Don't mistreat us, alright?"

Bottom. He's definitely a bottom! She raged from within.

With a 'bang', the door to the yard was pushed open forcefully and Li Wazi stepped inside. Liu Duo and gang looked at the source instinctively.

"Hey, Li Wazi. What's this about? If you are here to see me and all my glory, no need to be hasty!" Ye Liu said arrogantly.

Li Wazi was panting heavily, but a smile stretched across his face. He didn't have time for Ye Liu's jokes. "Everyone, I'm... I'm a father now! Haha..."

Having announced this news, Li Wazi grinned endlessly from ear to ear.

Liu Duo and the rest were happy for him. Becoming a parent was good news, athough it seemed like he had ran all the way there just to tell them.
