Sweet Rustic Love: Four Brothers’ Wife - Chapter 609

Chapter 609: Could She Have Been Too Forceful?

Li Chunmei dried her tears as she headed to the kitchen.

After she got there, she stopped crying.

She sat there absentmindedly for a while, then slowly started to prepare lunch.

Liu Duo and Ye Ling came to the fourth floor and lay down on the bed. Liu Duo did not feel like sleeping, and neither did Ye Ling!

She turned over to face him. “Ling, you can only have me and your brothers on your mind. No one else!”

“That’s for sure,” Ye Ling responded as he brushed away several strands of hair by her ears.

He was not a fool. He knew what Liu Duo meant. In other words, she did not want him to overthink what had happened that morning!

“Duo Er, I just…” Ye Ling opened his mouth to speak but did not know how to continue.

He did not want to think about the incident, but he had a bad feeling that it would not end soon…

What should he do then?

How could he let his brothers and Liu Duo face such a dilemma?

As though she could see through his thoughts, Liu Duo took his hands and linked their fingers together. “Ling, don’t worry about a thing. If Li Chunmei comes looking for trouble, we won’t be afraid of her!”

She told him about her doubts and her sixth sense. “Ling, haven’t you thought about how it’s such a coincidence that you just happened to fall and land on her? Like this?”

As she said so, Liu Duo demonstrated the fall and pressed herself on him.

Ye Ling drew a breath at the action. “Er…”

“What? Ling, am I heavy?” Liu Duo asked awkwardly.

In hindsight, could she have been too forceful?

Ye Ling blushed and shook his head. “No, you’re not heavy at all. I’m just not ready.”

Pffft, Liu Duo chuckled. “Oh, sorry about that, Ling. I should have warned you.”

“That’s alright. No need to apologize.” Ye Ling’s pale face began to flush red.

Their current position was quite embarrassing.

“Right.” Then Liu Duo continued where she’d left off. “Ling, Li Chunmei must have made you fall on her on purpose. She may be using others as witnesses and, this way, she can force you to marry her!”

“Ling, think about it. What was the situation? How did you fall onto her? Li Chunmei was behind you when it happened. How was it that she was facing you after you fell?”

This was oddly suspicious. That was why she told the brothers that Ye Ling must have been tricked!

Ye Ling frowned after listening to her. He began to recall what happened.

He had never thought that his falling down was not an accident.

Liu Duo sensed what he was doing and chose not to interrupt. She observed him quietly.

After a while, Ye Ling mumbled, “I put down the scale, and was about to retreat into the house. Then, it felt like I stepped on something and swung to one side. Chunmei was facing me. She grabbed my hand. And just like that, I fell on her.”

“It happened so fast I could barely process anything. Did I fall onto her myself, or did she grab me in such a way that I landed on her?”

Liu Duo was even more certain that Li Chunmei had set up the whole scene deliberately!

Yet there was one thing neither she nor Ye Liu could understand. Li Chunmei had a crush on Ye Mo, didn’t she? So why was she pulling strings on Ye Ling?

Wouldn’t it work in her favor if she targeted Ye Mo?

“Ling, according to what you said, this was definitely not an accident! You have little to worry about. She’s the one who must be held accountable for her actions, not us. People like her aren’t worth our concern, regardless of what they do.”

Ye Ling nodded. What Liu Duo said made sense. He sank into relief.
