Liu Duo raised a brow and looked at him, anticipating what else he would say.

Mom told Dad to tell Grandma that we want to move, but Dad wouldnt do it, so Mom took me and we left Once again, Liu Ran told her the whole story.

So now she knew why they hadnt returned home in several days, but Liu Duo had little reaction to the matter, since it was their business and not hers.

Ye Liu and Ye Ling looked at each other, wondering if Liu Duo would allow Liu Liushi and Liu Ran to stay, since they had nowhere else to go.

Liu Ran finished what he had to say, and seeing that his sister hadnt spoken or shown any emotion, he shook her by the hand, Sis, are you going to chase us out? Mom and I have nowhere else to go, and we cant go back there.

Liu Duo patted his head and said, Ran Er, thats between you and them! Your father came here looking for you two last night. He was worried sick.

Liu Ran was sensible enough to know what she really meant. She didnt care about them.

He was their father, but she had said your father. It was obvious she didnt want to have anything else to do with their family.

Tears flowed out instantly. Liu Ran allowed himself to cry, but he didnt make a scene. Instead he obediently said, Sis, I understand.

He let go of her hands and went over to Liu Liushi, Mom, lets go. Im happy to see Sis again. We shouldnt bother her.

Liu Liushi was crying too. She had such a sensible son. She didnt blame Liu Duo for not caring about them.

She took his hand and trembled as she stood, Duo Er, well be leaving now. Thank you for breakfast.

Ye Ling opened his mouth but didnt say anything to persuade them to stay. After all, Liu Duo had instructed him not to meddle in other peoples business!

He could only look on and hope Liu Duo would let them stay. He found them very pitiful, having nowhere to go.

Ye Liu thought, We cant cross her, or she wont forgive easily.

Liu Duo wouldnt change her principles for anyone! Moreover, she wasnt the real Liu Duo, so even if she liked Liu Ran just a bit, she wouldnt let him stay.

Ye Liu walked over, sat beside her and rested his arm on her shoulder. He whispered in her ear, Little Duo, why dont we let them stay first? We wanted some casual workers anyway, and theyre perfect for the job.

She felt her ears might have melted from the heat that leaked as he spoke. Liu Duo simply pushed him away.

Geez, if only he could just speak properly. There was no need to get that close!

Unknowingly, she thought of what had happened the previous night, when he would say close to her, Little Duo, I like this feeling, now that weve become one. I am you, and youre me

She blushed and glared at him, Whatever you want!

Ye Liu supposed she must have been thinking about last nights event, because her cheeks reddened as he approached.

He chuckled playfully and closed in on her anyway, Little Duo, weve been intimate before, so why are you still blushing?

With that, Liu Duos fair cheeks blushed as though all the blood had gathered there. She reached over and strangled his waist, Liuzi, you and your shamelessness better keep a distance from me!

The two were still chattering about when Liu Liushi and Liu Ran reached the door of their yard. Panicking, Ye Ling coughed once to garner their attention, Liu, Duo Er, what are you discussing? Theyre already leaving
