He looked around them when he noticed that everyone was giving them a bit of alone time, his cheeks turned red as he walked closer to Yu Dong and whispered, ” you… are really sly, Dong Dong.” She raised her brow with a smile on her face knowing what she was doing and leaned closer as she asked softly, ” And?”

He blushed before lowering his head and glaring at her shyly. ” But I still love you.” His voice was soft so soft that Yu Dong almost missed what he said but then again with her hearing she couldn’t miss his voice no matter how soft it was—— her lips curled up as she closed in a little more and whispered, ” What did you say?”

Her plan was to sneak in a kiss before he got in the carriage but Shen Li was smarter now, he turned around quickly as her grip on his wrist loosened and looked over his shoulder before poking his tongue out. ” Wait for me to come back until then stay like this.”

Yu Dong’s eyes widened as she watched Shen Li get inside the carriage with a tittering laugh. For two seconds she was stunned and then she burst out laughing, ” sly fox!” She shook her head and retreated behind and was prepared to watch the carriage leave when a sudden pitter-patter of footsteps from behind came and she turned her head to look at the source of this noise when she noticed Chen Mi who was coming out of the house in a rush and behind him was Zhu Qian. Both of them were holding something in their hands, the only difference was Chen Mi was holding his trunks in both of his hands while little bun was in Lang Hui’s hands and Lang Hui’s wheelchair’s handle was in his daddy’s hands.

” Wait, Wait a minute!” shouted Chen Mi as he ran towards the carriage as fast as he could with two trunks and a cloth bag tied around his neck. ” Wait for me!”

However, just as he was going to rush past Yu Dong the latter caught hold of him by the back of his collar and raised one brow. ” I don’t know if I should ask this or not… but where do you think you are going?”

Chen Mi who was suddenly almost strangled by Yu Dong gasped and then turned to Yu Dong with a cheeky smile. ” I am going to the capital with big brother Li and big brother Liu.”

Ohho, he was even calling them respectfully.

” And when were you going to tell me this?” asked Yu Dong as she let go of his collar and him breathe with ease. She was still afraid that he would complain to his mother, who keeps eyeing her like she was a criminal.

” I just told you,” said Chen Mi as he patted his chest. ” Actually the plan was just to sneak inside the carriage but then I woke up late and couldn’t sneak in so, I am getting in the carriage in front of you. So, it’s alright I guess?”

” Chen Mi!” Yu Dong gaped at him in surprise and awe. To think that he was actually trying to sneak inside the carriage without her noticing? What was wrong with him? She raised her hand and slightly twisted his ear causing him to yelp and cower. ” Sneak inside? Are you out of your mind, have you ever thought about how worried I would have been if I didn’t see you in the house?”

” I was going to leave a letter!” Yeah, that just made everything better.

” That isn’t the point!” snapped Yu Dong as she glared at Chen Mi and let go of his ears before rubbing her eyes. ” You cannot just sneak out of the house and the two of them are going there because they have work to do, if you leave who is going to finish your work? I need someone along with Chi to help me out——”

Chen Mi rubbed his ear that was twisted and pointedly whispered, ” I know wife is lying, you are sending brother Li and brother Liu on a vacation in the capital, all the hard work will be managed by Chu Chang’s sister and you have bribed them with a year free of strawberries.” Then he paused and added, ” If you don’t let me go then I will——” with that he cupped his mouth and got ready to shout, knowing fully well what he was going to do, Yu Dong hurriedly clamped her hands on his mouth as she angrily whispered shouted at him. ” How do you know this?”

He made a lot of muffled noises and only then did Yu Dong let go of his mouth but she kept them on his sides ready to clamp him shut the second he tried to make a move. ” I heard you and brother Chang talk about it.”

” Did you tell your brothers?”

” No, I was holding it to myself lest you refuse me from going along with them.”

Eyes narrowed Yu Dong looked at her youngest husband and felt both annoyed and impressed by his tactic. Chen Mi was sure scheming, it was surprising that he hasn’t burned down the house with his schemes. ” And if I don’t let you go then you will tell your brothers the truth?” She sighed exaggeratedly and added. ” You know why I am doing this, don’t you think it’s selfish to stop them now?” After she saw that Chen Mi has gone silent she added triumphantly. ” Will you still say anything?”

Chen Mi stayed silent for a while before he answered, ” No…but I will tell my mother you stopped me from going to the capital, I will even cry for the extra effect.”

Yu Dong: “….” What was the point of having this conversation now? With her mother-in-law dragged in the conversation, there was nothing she could say now can she?
