Chapter 390: Why Are You All Up Here?

Aunt Ye was practically on cloud nine when she saw Liu Duo getting along really well with the four brothers..

It would be perfect if they had their own kid, because they needn’t worry about finances anymore, and they could afford to raise one.

After lunch, Liu Duo stayed to chat with the guests for a bit before going upstairs.

She placed the sculpture given by Liu Ran on the dressing table and grinned, “Other than the beauty mark, I really don’t see how it looks like me.”

This was her first gift from Liu Ran. She liked it a lot.

Right then, all four brothers went into her room.

“Why are you all here?” She looked back at them.

Shouldn’t they be entertaining the guests? She was about to go back down too. She had to give up her afternoon nap for a day.

The men sat down at random spots. Ye Liu began mischievously, “We’d miss you if we didn’t see you for a moment, Little Duo!”

“Be serious here!” She rolled her eyes.

This man would always play the fool in front of her.

Ye Mo spoke next, “My wife, this is my present for you. You have to like it. In fact, you have to wear it every day, where I can see.”

Liu Duo’s lips twitched. Could he be any more domineering?

She accepted his gift and opened the box to find a pair of delicate tassel earrings. So that was why he wanted her to wear it every day!

After that, Ye Liu personally placed the pair of pearl bangles he had previously chosen around her wrists. “Little Duo, do you like them?”

The bangles were smooth and transparent without a single crack. The color was not actually jade but a fainter shade, which meant they hadn’t been very expensive.

She turned the bangles around and found that she quite liked them too.

“Duo Er, this is the sachet I made for you. I hope you like it,” Ye Ling handed her the sachet he mentioned yesterday.

It wasn’t big, but it was filled with vanilla scent.

Many pests were active in the summer, so he had thought of making a sachet for her.

As Liu Duo examined the sachet, she found there were five mandarin ducks embroidered on the surface.

One of them was surrounded by four other ducks of the same color. Perhaps the ducks represented the five of them?

Liu Duo was pleasantly surprised, “Wow, this sachet has superb handiwork, and the size is just right. I like it!”

If she tucked it along her waist it would make a nice accessory, and it would keep bugs away too.

She had already known the day before that Ye Ling would give her a sachet, so she wasn’t especially surprised, but holding the actual item in her hands made for a greater surprise!

She really liked it.

Ye Ling was happy for her too.

Ye Liu and Ye Mo weren’t jealous that Liu Duo preferred Ye Ling’s gift more than theirs. After all, he had made it himself with needle and thread, while they had spent money on theirs. They were hardly comparable.

Furthermore, Ye Ling had spent many hours sewing that thing. The sachet was small, the mandarin ducks even smaller. It took a lot of effort to make them identical front and back.

“Yang, what do you have for me?” Liu Duo suddenly asked him, grinning.

She was a bit curious and looked forward to what the stoic man had in store.

Expressionless as usual, Ye Yang presented a knife to her.

She stood there, stunned.

A knife?

The corners of her mouth twitched as she held the knife. This was the first time she had received such a weird birthday present.

Ye Yang saw that the bright smile Liu Duo had worn a moment earlier had largely diminished upon receiving his gift, so he had to explain, “For peeling fruit.”

It wasn’t a big knife. In fact, it was quite small and handy. He had personally gone to the only blacksmith in the village and asked to make one exclusively for her.

Most importantly, he had seen her peeling fruit with a kitchen knife many times, and he thought it was dangerous. He was worried she would get hurt eventually, so he had decided to make a smaller knife for her.
