Ye Yang put on his shirt and faced Liu Duo. He took his time to address her teasing a moment ago. "Little Duo, I don't sneak!"

Did he have to sneak a peek at his own wife? It was completely normal to look anytime he wanted.

Liu Duo understood what he meant and could not resist a snicker. "Right, you definitely didn't peep at me secretly just now. You're doing it out in the open."

The wife's teasing continued. Ye Yang raised a hand and gently flicked her forehead once. "Naughty!"

Could it count as peeping if it was done out in the open? She was just beating around the bush to say that he had thick skin.

"Haha..." Liu Duo did not feel pain at all, and only laughed at the flicking.

Ye Yang was not sure why Liu Duo could be so cheerful, but he was happy for his wife either way.

With his farming tool in his left hand, Ye Yang took hold of Liu Duo's hand in his empty right hand and said, "Let's go home."

Ye Yang taking the initiative worked on Liu Duo. Pouting, she smiled at the man she was married to. He had become different after being 'trained.' He knew they should hold hands as they walked.

Ye Mo and Li Wazi returned to the house earlier than the couple. They had barely reached home when Ye Mo got down from the cart and raced to the stairs, completely ignoring the tomatoes he should help unload.

"Mo, are you rushing to the exam?" Ye Liu could not help but tease his brother. Of course, he knew why Mo was running like that.

Ye Ling knew the reason as well. He knew Mo wanted to check on the expansions they had made to Liu Duo's bed.

"Mo, we've finished working on her bed," Ye Ling directly informed him.

Mo had barely reached the front of the stairs when he stopped in his tracks. The moment he spotted Ye Ling, he freaked out. If Ling was at home at this hour, wouldn't the same go for Liu Duo as well?

If she caught Liu widening her bed, then their plan would fail. Therefore, he was in a rush to see if they had been successful or not.

When he heard his brother's report, Ye Mo retraced his footsteps and walked back, feeling relieved. He nodded in satisfaction. "Oh, that's good then."

"Mo, since Ling and I have done such a good job, I wonder if there's a reward for us?" Ye Liu eyed him mischievously.

Ye Mo noted the smug look on his brother's face, thinking highly of himself.

"Of course there is," Ye Mo said to Ye Liu who was still smiling, "You two may have an extra bowl of rice for lunch later."

Ye Liu burst out laughing. What kind of reward was that?

Li Wazi overheard their conversation. He did not interfere but he laughed all the same.

By the time they had unloaded all the tomatoes from the bullock-cart, Liu Duo came back with the other men just in time.

Ye Liu had not seen her all day and immediately rushed to her side, like a bee that spotted a flower. "Little Duo, have you missed me?"

He maintained strong eye contact with her, hoping to attract her attention.

Upon returning home, Ye Yang let go of Liu Duo's hand and went to wash up by the well.

Liu Duo was heading into the house when she felt a pair of eyes staring intently at her. She looked over at Ye Liu. "No!"

If she said she did, this man would have probably flown to heaven.

"Oh dear, Little Duo, how harsh! You didn't even miss me one bit? But I've missed you so much!"

Having gotten used to his melodramatics, Liu Duo simply replied, "Geez..."

It was an overused cliche, yet he did not find it boring.
