Yu Dong who just returned home saw Shen Li neatly arranging the bowls in the utensils rack, while Chen Mi's voice could be heard from inside his room. By the looks of it, neither of them was told about what mess she created outside, Yu Dong heaved a sigh of relief. She came prepared that tonight she might have to stay outside the house and sleep in the Front yard. But it was nice to see that it wasn't the case, Yu Dong too brushed the strands of hair from her forehead and walked inside.

  " you are back?" when Shen Li heard the sound of the door opening, he poked his head outside from the kitchen and smiled warmly at Yu Dong " do you want to eat something? I just made some warm rice and bone soup for Little bun, you can eat that with some pickled vegetables"

  How can, Yu Dong be in the mood to eat something right now? She shook her head and walked inside the house after changing into her slippers " is Liu back ?"

  Shen Li was surprised when Yu Dong asked him about Ye Liu, his heart suddenly surged with an icky sour feeling but he suppressed it and answered with a smile " yes he just returned, did something happen?"

  " oh, it's nothing" Yu Dong didn't want Shen Li to worry about what happened tonight nor did she want him to give unnecessary stress. Among her three husbands, Shen Li was the most ' jumpy' one though Chen Mi was shy and introverted, he could still withstand psychological pressure but Shen Li was too gentle and timid, he was the perfect example of ' a gentle husband'. So telling him something so exciting might make him really stressed out.

  It was a good thing that she hid her burned hand in her pocket and didn't show it to him, who know how anxious he might become. Though Shen Li might come to know about it, later on, It would be really too much if he was thrown into the already messy situation as well.

  At least she needed to extinguish one fire before taking care of another one.

  " he came to look for me at the fields but I was busy so I sent him back" answered Yu Dong calmly, she was used to staying under pressure and her temperament was too calm. So, Shen Li didn't think of much and his mind was already racing with multiple what-ifs, and that made it even more impossible for him to pay attention to what Yu Doing was saying.

  ' came to look for me? Hah, so that's where he went

  Shen Li couldn't help but have mixed feelings about this, on one hand, he felt happy that Ye Liu was finally willing to open up but on the other hand, he felt a bit unhappy. Why was it that Ye Liu who once told him everything wouldn't tell him this? But then again maybe he was trying to save him from the heartache, as one of the husbands, Shen Li knew that it was inevitable for him to feel heartache when his wife will pay attention to her other husbands but at the same time he couldn't help but feel upset upon thinking that maybe he would never be able to attract his wife's attention.

  He was too shy to say his feelings out loud and as the first husband it was his responsibility to take care of his wife as well as his little brothers, he couldn't act selfishly.

  " Li? Don't work too hard," Yu Dong noticed the subtle changes in Shen Li's expression, she knew Shen Li better than others and his face was like an open book so, it made it easier for her to read him. She extended one hand and patted Shen Li's head gently" if you have something to say, you can say it, I will listen to you patiently "

  ' Please love me too, look at me some more ' was what Shen Li wanted to say but he has bound himself by the 'principles of a good husband ' that his daddy taught him that he didn't dare to say anything, instead, he simply smiled and said: " I'm fine, don't worry about me."

  Yu Dong had already checked his condition by her spiritual energy and she knew that though Shen Li felt a bit dizzy, he was alright. So, she didn't say anything, she couldn't understand why Shen Li looked like he was sick when he was alright " but still you should go and rest"

  Fortunate, Yu Dong didn't know that she has a really nice husband or else she would have to kneel on the washboard tonight.

  Shen Li nodded and put down the bowls that he was holding" I'm indeed a bit tired so I will retire first, Doing Dong"

  Yu Dong's brows instinctively scrunched up, her intuition told her to stop Shen Li from leaving but she had to coax Ye Liu as well, if she let the other brood then who knows what Ye Liu might not but -

  ' Shen Li' Yu Doing watched him go and couldn't help but wonder whether or not he was angry at her-

  " Ye Liu are you in there?" Yu Dong didn't know how to coax anyone much less a man who was supposed to be her husband. Once she was a proud bachelor and would sometimes make fun of her friends who got caught up in fights with their boyfriends. Now that she suddenly gained three husbands, Yu Dong wished that instead of being an old bachelor she was an experienced driver. At least she would have known how to please and make her husbands happy - one was already upset with her and suddenly the other one became angry as well.

  She was afraid that if this goes on she might become bald one day! Coaxing one was already difficult now she has to coax too! How was it fair for her?

  She had no idea what to do but she could not leave them alone either!
