Chapter 1213 Public display of affection
Experience more on empire
Ye Zexian did not want to question his brother like this but he couldn't help it. Being the only one without a kid would be really hard on his brother, what if his wife started despising him?
When Ye Liu heard his brother's words, he was stunned and then his face turned as red as cooked crab. He pursed his lips before saying, "It's fine. My wife does not mind it and having a child or not it's not something we can decide brother." He did not tell Ye Zexian that he was poisoned by that bastard Qiu Bai.
If he told Ye Zexian that his body was affected in a such way that he could not have a child, then his brother would worry about him even more.
Ye Zexian did not know what to say to his brother. Ye Liu had always been like this ever since he was young. He had his own thoughts and actions and hardly ever listened to them. But having a child was really necessary!
When he was married off his in-laws said that they did not care whether he had a child or not as Zi Mu's older brothers already had a bunch of kids under them and there was no need for them to worry about whether or not he had a kid but a year later when he did not give birth to a child, his father in law grew dissatisfied with him.
He continued to take him to the doctors and even took him to the local witch who was an old mer excelling in odd arts. If not for the fact that Ye Zexian finally got pregnant he would have been tormented more and more by his father-in-law.
No one knew better than Ye Zexian how a person said one thing and then did the exactly opposite thing of what they promised.
Ye Liu also understood his brother's worries which was why he showed him a smile and said in a consoling voice, "My wife is different brother. She really does not care if I give birth or not. After all, she already has enough kids under her name. She even said that if I cannot give birth then we can adopt a child under my name."
This was something that put his mind at ease. Ye Liu wanted a child but he did not want to be forced into it. As long as he was given a choice he did not stress too much on the matter.
"How can that be the same?" Ye Zexian thought that his younger brother was too relaxed. He was literally pushing his wife away from him by acting like such, how could a woman accept a child that was not born by her husband? Even his second brother-in-law who married a city mer harassed that poor mer until he gave birth to a child.
And Ye Zexian witnessed how their relationship crumbled under the lack of a child. A child was very important!
He told the same thing to Ye Liu who smiled and shook his head before saying, " If their relationship crumbled in the lack of a child then I guess that it was because their relationship was weak to begin with."
Ye Liu trusted his wife and knew that she would not do anything to let him down.
When Ye Zexian saw that his brother was not willing to listen he sighed. He knew that his brother was too much in love with his wife because he noticed how Ye Liu had this longing gaze when he was speaking about Yu Dong.
'What kind of magic trick did that woman do on my brother for him to trust her so blindly?' Ye Zexian thought in his head with a frown.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
However, he did not get to ask that question as Yu Dong walked inside the house at that very moment. She was dressed in a dark wine robe with her hair tied up in a long ponytail, when she moved, her hair moved along behind her like a snake.
Her sharp eyes glittered like they were filled with stars and burning ambers, with her full lips set in thin line and jaw sharper than a knife, she had looks to kill and when Ye Zexian saw her, his mouth dropped. Literally.
What was this? Was this really the same Yu Dong to whom her brother was sold off? She looked rather different. No, she looked a lot different but how?
Ye Zexian stared at Yu Dong with such a burning gaze that even Zi Mu felt a bit insecure. He pinched his husband and then said, " What are you looking at her like that for? I, your husband is sitting right next to you."
"No, No.. that's not it. She looks really different," when he saw Yu Dong the last time, she had an alcoholic belly and her complexion was worse than that of a farmer who had been malnourished for weeks.
It was simply impossible for him to compare the past and present Yu Dong. It was as if, if compared the past Yu Dong with the present, he would be letting down Yu Dong in front of him.
In fact, if his wife was this beautiful then he too would be speaking up for her like Ye Liu. Who cared if she was lying or not? If she was this good looking then he would be happy just by looking at her!
Yu Dong also felt a fervent gaze stabbing at her back but she did not say anything. She calmly sat down beside Ye Liu and kissed him on the forehead as she said, " I am back."
Ye Liu's face flushed and so did Ye Zexian and Zi Mu's as they hadn't seen such a public display of affection. Though Ye Liu knew that this was what Yu Dong did every day when she returned, he reached out and pinched her on the waist, " What are you doing? Can't you see that we have guests?"
"My love for you doesn't go down if there are guests…what are you trying to say?" Yu Dong questioned causing Ye Liu to flush even red. She…she was truly shameless.
