Chapter 102 – Jealousy (3)
He called her wife again . Annoyed, Li Man glared at him . “Go inside and dry your own hair . ” After saying this, she tossed the dry towel to him .
Li Shu didn’t get annoyed . Instead, he acted as if he picked up a treasure . He even lifted up the towel and sniffed it . “Wah, it smells so good . Wife’s stuff is naturally great . ”
“You?” Could this be considered taking liberties with a woman in public? Li Man was so angry that her face changed colors . She snatched the towel back and said, “You don’t have to use it . ”
“Eh? Of course, I want to use it . ” Li Shu hurriedly stretched his hand out to snatch it back, but Li Mo glared at him and said, “Third brother, don’t cause trouble . ”
Li Man clutched the towel in her hand . Seeing Li Shu being forced to yield and accept defeat, she bit her lip to stop herself from smiling . Sure enough, this fellow needed someone to keep him in line .
“Hey, looks like you guys are having a lively chat over here . ” At this time, Li Yan came around the corner of a hut . Seeing everyone was gathered underneath the eaves, he curved his lips into a smile .
Li Man could hear that there was a bit of sourness in his words . When she looked at him, he looked back at her with his mesmerizing phoenix eyes slightly narrowed . He only briefly glanced at her with an unfathomable look before looking away .
He had been busy all morning with fixing the vegetable garden, so his hands were muddy too . He went over to the hand pump water well to wash his hands before coming over .
Although the heavy rain had stopped, there was still a drizzle . He had been outside all morning, so his hair was wet too, and there were droplets of water trailing down his face .
Li Man couldn’t stand seeing him like this . When he came over, she gave him the towel . “Here, use it to dry off . ” His hair and face were both wet . Ai, couldn’t he have put on a raincoat before going out to work? Oh, wait, there weren’t raincoats in this time period…
Li Yan was slightly stunned . Soon, his handsome face looked as if he had seen a clear sky with bright sunshine after the rain . The corners of his lips curved up, and there was even a smile in his eyes . He didn’t say a word . He took the towel, lightly wiped his face, and slowly dried off his hair .
There was a stunned look in Li Mo’s eyes, but then he lowered his head and silently worked .
Li Shu wasn’t happy and wanted to snatch the towel from his second brother’s hand . “Second brother, I want to use it to dry off too . Look, my hair is wet too . ”
“Just go inside and get another towel . ” Li Yan shot him a side-glance . He had finished drying off, but he didn’t return the towel to Li Man . Instead, he folded it up and tucked it inside his clothes .
“What are you doing?” Li Man looked at him in surprise . That was a towel, not a handkerchief . He couldn’t also want to keep it as part of his private collection or something, right?
Li Yan showed a slight smile at her . “I dirtied it . I’ll give it back to you after I wash it . ”
Rubbish! Li Man almost couldn’t resist using foul language . Since she had come here, she had been doing all of the laundry in this household . “No need . Give it back to me, I’ll give it a quick wash . ”
Li Yan only roguishly smiled while looking at her . He didn’t say a word, but Li Man had a thin face that quickly turned hot just from him roguishly looking at her . Annoyed but not daring to meet his eyes, she simply stretched her hand out . “Give it . ”
“Ha . ” A teasing look flashed through Li Yan’s eyes, and he lightly scratched her palm with his icy fingers . It felt like a passing electrical current . Li Man hurriedly took her hand back, but he acted as if he was indifferent . He chuckled, then he simply turned around and left .
He… that jerk!!!
Li Man was stopped short with anger . She wiped the hand that he had touched against her clothes .
Li Shu seemed to desperately want their wife’s belongings and chased after his second brother .
As for the people left underneath the eaves, Li Mo continued working while feeling irritated, and Li Hua continued to blankly look at Li Man . His inky black eyes looked lost and seemed unable to focus .
