Chapter 1029: Especially Not When This Man Was Joining Them

Dongfang Ming might have asked her to drop the honorifics, since the title was quite alienating, but Liu Duo could not break the bit, so he let her be.

Dongfang Ming got up from his seat, still smiling, as Liu Duo walked towards him. “Someone told me of your arrival, so I thought I should see for myself. You didn’t tell me you were coming, after all, and I thought we were friends.”

Liu Duo could guess who that ‘someone’ was. The other person in the capital who knew them could only be Wang Xiangyun!

They had met yesterday, by coincidence.

“We didn’t want to trouble you. After all, you’re a businessman, and surely there are many matters to attend to every day.” Liu Duo decided not to question him on how he had managed to find out where they were staying.

They would let him talk if he chose to, otherwise, they would not bug him. It was a secret everyone shared.

Dongfang Ming chuckled at her excuse and did not comment on it. Instead, he changed the subject. “There are many wonderful attractions and great scenery in the capital. Since we’re all here, why don’t I show you around?”

“How unfortunate, we’re going to the temple today!” Ye Mo lashed out before Liu Duo could speak.

They had decided yesterday that they would pray at the temple, and he was reluctant to change the schedule!

Especially not when this man was joining them!

Liu Duo fell speechless witnessing Ye Mo’s strange attitude.

She could not understand why Ye Mo always seemed to be on the brink of exploding like a bunch of firecrackers when they were with Dongfang Ming.

Ye Liu snickered and said, “Brother Dongfang, that’s how our dear Mo speaks. Hope you don’t mind. Just yesterday, we made plans to go pray at the temple, so I suppose we’ll have to postpone your invitation till tomorrow.”

They should not get aggressive even if they could not accept the other party’s goodwill, right?

Liu Duo added, “Yes, we’re going to the temple today.”

Then she set a delicate hand on her bulging belly and felt around on it.

She hoped the Buddha could ensure a successful birth, and that everyone in the family would stay in the pink of health.

Dongfang Ming smiled back. “That’s fine. Since you have made plans, then I shall not interfere. We can go tomorrow.”

He noticed Liu Duo’s micro-actions. There was a little glint in his eyes, while deep down he lamented the fact.

He had heard from Wang Xiangyun that Liu Duo was pregnant, and now that he witnessed the real thing, he was unable to put his feelings into words!

It was normal for a wife to nurture her husband’s next-of-kin, but to see the woman of his dreams doing that for someone else, Dongfang Ming could not help but feel upset and depressed!

“No can do!”

Ye Mo had his arms folded in front of his chest as he squinted at Dongfang Ming. “We’re going to the temple today and we’ll be climbing steps all the way up. Our wife’s pregnant, so how do you expect her to have the energy to go sightseeing tomorrow?”

Er…

Silence fell.

Of course, Dongfang Ming knew what Ye Mo meant.

Ye Mo obviously did not want to have any contact with him, and he would not allow Liu Duo to do so either!

Dongfang Ming could feel Ye Mo’s hostility towards him.

“Mo, what’s with that attitude? Brother Dongfang’s our friend!”

Ye Liu blamed him but made no further comments on his statement.

His attitude was not the best, but he was just expressing his opinion.

Ye Ling looked at Dongfang Ming then at his brothers, before settling on Liu Duo.

Mo was right, despite his attitude.
