  " Are you going to the fields?" Ye Liu who was tossed and turned for an entire night, found it really hard to open his eyes but he couldn't let Yu Dong leave without greeting her, so even if he was tired after someone kept him awake throughout the night, he still sat up straight on the bed covering himself with the quilt.

  Yu Dong saw him hide in his shell and chuckled " why are you covering yourself from me? I don't think that there is anything left that I haven't seen" she picked up Ye Liu's clothes that she dropped on the floor last night and handed them to Ye Liu who took it gratefully with a blush decorating his face.

  "It's morning" he coughed awkwardly, his ears turning red because of the heat rushing in his head " it feels weird when its all bright, at night its a little comfortable"

  Yu Dong shook her head, she really wanted to tell Ye Liu that her eyesight was pretty good and it didn't matter to her whether it was a day or night, she can see him very clearly…… so clearly that she knew how many moles he had on his body and where exactly. But knowing Ye Liu, he will only get even more winded up if she told him that so she didn't say anything " If that's what makes you comfortable, then so be it" after buttoning up her shirt she crossed the room and gave him a swift peck on his lips before caressing and patting his hair " I will be leaving for the town there are something's that I want to buy for today and while at it, I will look for a decent worker who can renovate the shop, it's better to get started as soon as we can if we want to recover the losses done to our pockets"

  The plants in her field were in full bloom and even though Yu Dong was nourishing them nicely with her spiritual energy, she still wanted to properly secure her fields which was why she wanted to buy some wooden logs to build fences around her farmland. It would be a shame in case animals or little kids tried to sneak in and she who was bitten by the villagers once had no desire to be bitten again, who knows when the villagers might get offended and try to cause damage to her crops indirectly? It was better to be prepared than regret later on.

  Ye Liu nodded, he wanted to go too but his muscles were used so well that he could hardly move much less, have enough stamina to ride in a carriage all the way to the town. So, even if he didn't want to, he could only let Yu Dong leave by herself.

  Seeing his lips thin in a sulky pout, Yu Dong grinned and patted his head " don't worry, I will be back in a jiffy. You won't even miss me"

  " Who is going to miss you!" Ye Liu felt a bit embarrassed when he realized that Yu Dong seemed to have figured out what was going on in his head and stuttered like a young boy who was caught peeking at his crush " I…… I am not a kid, I will be fine ……" his voice softened with each syllable as he tugged on Yu Dong's sleeves and muttered softly " but if you can, try to come home soon"

  " En, I will" Yu Dong gave him another kiss before she turned around and left. It wasn't that she didn't want to take a break and enjoy a day off with her husbands but there was too much to do and with her husbands' strong desire to have children she should be prepared to have some extra savings left in her pocket, in case another baby came knocking… and maybe it will be arriving sooner than she thought as neither of them was taking any sort of precautions.

  Taking care of such a big family wasn't easy but she still wouldn't change this life for anything.

  ——


  " Dong Dong? You are awake?" Shen Li who just returned after fetching some eggs and milk from the backyard, saw Yu Dong coming out of Ye Liu's rooms and strode towards her with a pleasant smile " I was just going to prepare breakfast, I was thinking of having some egg rolls, porridge and warm milk with bread…… do you want to eat something else?"

  Yu Dong shook her head as she took the heavy bucket of milk that Shen Li was carrying " No, there is no need for adding anything more. This much is good enough, I don't want to travel on such a bunk road with a full stomach, it makes me feel queasy"

  " You are going somewhere?" Shen Li walked to the kitchen after Yu Dong as the two of them placed the milk and eggs on the kitchen counter.

  " Yeah, I was thinking of buying some wood for making fences with it." answered Yu Dong " I will leave Lang behind, after what happened I am not at ease to leave you all behind without anyone to protect you guys. But even if she is with you, don't forget that you shouldn't open door to anyone, unless I am here, alright?"

  Shen Li nodded his head solemnly, what happened in their house wasn't something small. Life could have been lost if not for Zhu Qian timely protecting little bun, if their family's precious bun was kicked by a grown-up, it goes without saying the consequences would have been really – never mind he shook his head. What happened has already happened, he should be contented with the fact that no one was seriously hurt in yesterday's brawl or things would have gotten messy.

  " I will keep this in mind," promised Shen Li taking out some rice from the container and washing it with the water from the vat that was brimming with spiritual energy, with Yu Dong's spiritual energy even coarse rice tasted like a delicacy, so what can be said about the fine rice, gulp- it tastes like they were eating rice from the imperial kitchen. After washing the rice he placed a pot with water and left it to boil before adding rice or else it might get sticky " If you are going to town why don't you take Fang Chi with you?"
