<h4>Chapter 579: Liu Duo Nodded</h4>


    Liu Duo finished washing up and wiped her face with a towel. Then she said to Ye Ling, “Alright, I’m done. Let’s go.”


    “Oh, sure.” He nodded, not looking at her, apparently still shy and flushed.


    Liu Duo found it strange, so she asked, “Ling, why is your face all red?”


    She hadn’t teased him yet. It was raining, the weather was quite cool, not hot like it used to be, so it couldn’t be the heat doing that too him.


    “Ah? Oh, nothing. It’ll go away soon.” Ye Ling looked to the front, babbling.


    “And why is it nothing?” Liu Duo held his arm, staring at his handsome face.


    Ye Ling lowered his head and gazed at her, his face even redder. “It’s just nothing, that’s all. Look, Liu Duo, I have your breakfast warmed up. You go wait by the table. I’ll bring it over to you.”


    And he thrust the umbre back to her before returning to the kitchen.


    Er...


    Liu Duo watched him flee the scene. She wondered, what’s gotten into him?


    Finding the whole scene hrious, she shook her head and followed the man.


    Li Wazi smiled when he saw Ye Ling. “Ling, has she finished washing up? Then you can bring her breakfast to her, don’t let her starve.”


    “Yes, I’m here to do that.”


    Then, he got his hands on a tray and ced the warm food on top of it, along with a small bowl of steamed egg custard.


    Little Lian greeted Liu Duo when she walked in. “Sister Duo.”


    “Hi. Little Lian, do you think Little Huzi will catch a cold wearing that?” Liu Duo entered the kitchen and caught sight of the cradle.


    Little Huzi was quietly entertaining himself.


    “No, he won’t. We’re inside, no wind will get to him.”


    “Oh.”


    Ye Ling came over with the tray. He peeked at Liu Duo bashfully. “Duo Er, let’s eat at the table.”


    Then he headed outside.


    Aunt Li said to her, “Girl, you should hurry and have your breakfast. It’s not good to go hungry.”


    Liu Duo nodded.


    She walked out after Ye Ling.


    She found herself staring at his back. It seemed he would blush much more readily, shyer since the night they consummated their marriage. Had he gotten shyer?


    Ye Ling ced the food and the steamed egg custard on the table and said, “Duo Er, eat while it’s still hot. I’ll collect the dishes when you’re done.”


    He was about to make his way back to the kitchen when Liu Duo blocked his path.


    He stepped aside, and Liu Duo did the same, all the while blocking his way and keeping her eyes on him.


    “Duo Er, what are you doing? You should eat, I have to help out in the kitchen.” Ye Ling stole a nce at her, but then quickly avoided her gaze.


    She was obviously on to something!


    Liu Duo grinned so broadly her dimples showed. She took a step closer, so much so that her chest was mere inches away from him. “Ling, why don’t you look at me?”


    “No, it’s not that. Duo Er, you better eat. Your food’s getting cold,” Ye Ling said, his ears turning red. He stilled himself as he observed her pretty face.


    The feeling he got in his chest sent his heart beating rapidly as his whole body tensed.


    Liu Duo grabbed his hand. “Ling, eat with me, will you? I’ll feel lonely if I’m the only one here.”


    Since she said that, Ye Ling naturally nodded. He could not oppose to that.


    Having achieved her goal, Liu Duo returned to the table and sat down on a stool. She picked up the chopsticks and dug in.
