"You know what I mean!" She said angrily, taking back her hand.

His lips curled into a smirk as he shook his head, "Maybe I don't. I just want some milk to sober up, is that so wrong?"

Sober up with milk?

This led her to wonder, could milk dispel the effects of alcohol? She didn't know.

She wouldn't believe it!

As though he had read her thoughts, Ye Liu suddenly called out to their coachman, "Hey, mister, what do you say? Can milk cure a hangover?

The man quickly responded, "Of course, Mr. Ye. Do you want to buy some milk from town?"

They were already quite a distance away from town at that point.

"No need. It was simply a question. Carry on," He looked at Liu Duo jokingly, with an eyebrow arched, clearly taunting her.

Upon hearing the coachman's reply, she was certain her mind had dived into the gutter back then. Her face reddened, and she attempted to ignore him.

It was deeply embarrassing, but she hadn't known!

Ye Liu didn't plan to let her off the hook just like that, despite having put her in an awkward position. He approached her and playfully uttered, for her ears only, "Little Duo, you couldn't possibly have thought I wanted to drink yours, could you? Hmm..."

He dragged out the last syllable as long as he could, inciting wanderlust. "But Little Duo, you aren't nursing a child yet, so I can't drink from you, even if I want to."

Damn it!

This enraged Liu Duo to no end, as she imagined herself springing at him with an open hand and with her nails ready to claw out his heart. Damn, this scum was so dirty-minded and shameless!

"You..." In the end, Liu Duo got so flustered that she couldn't think of a comeback.

She was seriously not his match.

Seeing her red all over, including her ears, Ye Liu felt very proud of himself.

He held her tightly as he leaned against the wall of the carriage in silence, resting with his eyes closed.

She thought Ye Liu was going to tease her some more, but when she hadn't heard anything from him, she shot him a sideways glance.

She found that he had shut his eyes. She balled her hand into a fist and pretended to smack his handsome face, all the while mumbling, "You stupid, good-for-nothing, shameless, incorrigible fool! I ought to have taped your mouth! You never take things seriously."

Eventually she put her hand down and admired his face. Truly, this sprite was impeccably blessed with such a charming face!

The horse carriage arrived in front of their home. The coachman announced their stop, "Mr. Ye, Madam, we are here."

They knew when the carriage stopped.

He put her down, and the two of them alighted the carriage. They thanked the coachman, "Thank you so much for getting us home. I hope it's not too much of a bother."

"Don't mention it. Now, I'm going back to town. See you again."

With that he directed the horse to turn the carriage around and went back in the direction they had come from.

Hei Xiaomeng, having a sharp sense of hearing, detected their voices and ran straight towards them. It circled around their feet, its tail constantly wagging.

Ye Liu, still dizzy, held Liu Duo's hand as they walked into the yard.

Ye Ling quickly went up to help, "Liu, you drank some wine, didn't you? There's no milk at home, so what should we do?"

Seeing his brother's condition, Ye Ling could tell he had consumed some alcohol.

Liu Duo was again triggered by the word 'milk' and couldn't help feeling embarrassed. Why did they use milk to cure hangovers here? It was so weird.

Ye Liu heard it too, and he glanced at Liu Duo while he answered Ye Ling, "That's alright. I'll sleep it off."

He certainly noticed how a single word could make Liu Duo blush so furiously, and he found her quite adorable like that.

She could feel Ye Liu's adoring gaze on her, and she coughed. "Since that's what you need, stop grumbling and move faster!"
