When Ye Liu rushed at home Chen Mi was already waiting because he was feeling antsy, he couldn't stay in bed with little bun and because his daddy wasn't in bed with him Little bun wouldn't stop fussing either, in the end, Chen Mi had to hold him in his arms and play with him but because his mind was somewhere else, he didn't pay attention to little bun who pouted and scrunched up his face, if not for Ye Liu who burst inside the house, little bun would have started howling.
But because of Ye Liu's sudden arrival, both daddy and baby got startled and paused in doing what they were supposed to be doing.
However, when Ye Liu brushed past Chen Mi without saying anything the latter got surprised and hurriedly rushed after him, jostling little baby bun in his arms " brother Liu! Brother Liu, what happened, how come you came back alone did something happen? "
Chen Mi was afraid that in case no one believed their wife, then who knows what might happen! Maybe their entire family would be kicked out of the village, though they had money it wasn't much, without a house and land where will they go?
But no matter how much Chen Mi pestered Ye Liu the latter didn't respond and instead started looking around the shed, throwing this and that out, seeing him act like this even Chen Mi who already thought of the worst possible situations, couldn't help but ask " Brother Liu, what are you doing? What are you looking for ?"
Only then did Ye Liu's selective hearing thanks to his excitement start to work, he briefly looked up and paused in his hunt to search for the fishing net " wife asked me to get fishing net, so I'm looking for it "
Fishing net? Why? All of sudden? And what about Fang Chi and their wife's nonexistent affair? Why no one was telling him anything! His head was on the verge of exploding because of his worries, and here one was asking for a fishing net while the other was searching for it! Do they not care about him because he was the youngest!
With such a disregard even Chen Mi with his calm and sweet nature couldn't help but get upset " brother Liu, I have been waiting for you all to tell me what happened between Fang Chi and wife, why don't you tell me about that first before looking for a fishnet?"
Ye Liu immediately rolled his eyes and acted as a good husband, at once " Mi what's wrong with you? Don't you know that wife will never do something as harassing an unmarried mer? Though she wasn't good before, now she is a changed woman you should trust her a little and now get away from here or little bun might inhale dust and whatnot, I also need to hurry and bring the net to wife, she is taking us to catch fish"
" catch fish? Wife is taking Us? I want to go too then, take me with you !" Chen Mi immediately explained his stance, these days he was left behind while his brothers went around and had fun with their wife. First, it was only brother Li but then brother Liu too went to town with their wife, only he stayed back at home and didn't go anywhere. Now he didn't want to stay at home, he too wanted to have fun with his wife like his brothers.
Ye Liu was worried that Chen Mi would find something weird about their wife and get suspicious of her so he refused " no way if you come with me then what about Little bun? What about Mai? Mai is still sleeping and Little bun is too small to be taken out at night, you should stay at home, and take care of the children "
Chen Mi pouted unhappily, he knew his brother Liu would refuse, he was just too overprotective but more than that these days Chen Mi felt that his brothers were a little too close to their wife and wouldn't let him join in, he was really angry because of this, Yu Dong was his wife too then why won't they let him join in the fun with them? Why can they go fishing but he can't? It's not like the river is too far away right? " Little bun will be fine, he is not that young anymore. I can at least take him to the river of the village and let him play a bit"
" then what about Mai ?" said Ye Liu hastily a bit panicked.
" I'm awake! Ah, second brother in law, I'm up and no longer sleepy, let me come with you! Mai is really good at catching fish" Yu Mai who was woken by the boom and bam going in the backyard rushed out and immediately forgot about being sleepy. And shamelessly clung on to Ye Liu's leg because he was afraid that his second brother in law won't take him.
Ye Liu was sullen because of Yu Mai's stubborn antics but Chen Mi was really happy, he cast a doting look at Yu Mai and inwardly snickered ' good job Mai, I will buy you candied Hawthorns when I go to town with wife'
After that, he arrogantly looked at Ye Liu asking him to refuse Yu Mai now.
Ye Liu of course couldn't refuse Yu Mai, the little brat has become too stubborn now he wasn't afraid to roll on the floor in case they refused him. Though Yu Dong was strict with Yu Mai, and hardly ever let him get away with his stubborn and spoiled ways but Ye Liu and the other two were soft-hearted and never said ' no' to Yu Mai which led him to become a little wilful.
Ye Liu looked at Yu Mai's puppy dog eyes and then at Little bun who seemed to have understood that he needed to show his cutest side, so he too pouted his lips and stared at him with big, dewy eyes - blinking them cutely now and then.
Sigh - he shouldn't have spoiled these two.

" didn't I just send him to bring a fishing net?" asked Yu Dong as she scratched her cheek bewildered.
Shen Li's lips twitched as he watched the crowd that Ye Liu brought with him then said " yes"
