Behind the window, Li Man's back was against the wall . She slowly exhaled .
She had heard most of their conversation . She would have never expected they would have made such a vow .
Oh god, did this mean if she wasn't willing, they would have to live as bachelors for the rest of their lives?
Thinking of that, her heart thumped . Like a thief, she peeked out through the window, but the three brothers were no longer in the courtyard .
"You have to take responsibility, oh . " Suddenly, there was a clear, mellow masculine voice by the window . Startled, Li Man moved away and hid in the corner of the hut .
But, Li Yan pushed open the window, stretched half of his body inside, and looked in her direction . With his eyes half-closed, he smiled and said, "The hut is only so big . There's really no place for you to hide . ”

"Who's hiding? I'm just cleaning away the cobwebs in this corner . " After saying this, Li Man stretched her hand out and put on the pretense of grabbing something in the empty air .
"Oh . " Li Yan pointed in that direction . "Look, there's a spider over there . "
Li Man had a head full of black lines . That spot was so high . If he was going to point to somewhere, at least point to a spot that she could reach, okay?
Li Yan saw her lower her head and biting her lip . Smiling, he gestured at her . "Come here . "
"Why?" Li Man didn't look at him . She directly walked to her wardrobe, picked up a cleaning rag, and started wiping .
The corners of Li Yan's lips curved up . "Do you want me to come inside instead?"
"What?" Sure enough, Li Man turned her head to glare at him, then she glanced at the door . The door was locked, so she didn't think anything of his words . She wouldn't go over .
Li Yan wickedly smiled . Placing both of his hands on the windowsill, he looked as if he was going to come in through the window .
"Don't you dare . " Panicking, Li Man ran over and stretched her hand out to push him .
"I thought you weren't going to come over?" Li Yan easily grabbed her hands and tightly held them .
Li Man's face was flushed . Glaring at him, she said, "Let go . Everyone is at home . What if someone sees?"
"Did you hear everything that we said?" Li Yan raised his eyebrows . He still hadn't loosened his grip on her hands .
Li Man lowered her eyes and pretended to not know . "What?"
"You didn't hear it?" Li Yan suddenly got close to her face and very carefully observed her . "If you didn't hear anything, why is your face red?"
"I didn't -" Clearly, these words weren't said with enough confidence . She couldn't even lie to herself about how hot her face was, so she said, "I feel hot . "
"Okay . " Li Yan lightly smiled, then he continued, "It doesn't matter if you heard us or not . Anyways, you have to take responsibility for us . "
"Take responsibility for what?" Li Man raised her head and looked at him in surprise . Had he thought of another wicked idea to extort her with?
Li Yan pursed his lips and sighed . "We rejected a good marriage for you . You'll have to be a good wife for us in the future . Otherwise . . . " Li Yan trailed off in a groan .
Although he didn't say any specific threatening words, the groan was more than enough of a deterrent .
Li Man's heart skipped a beat . She reflexively answered, "I didn't ask you to refuse . It's you guys that . . . "
"How can you say such heartless words?" Li Yan freed one hand and gently pinched her one of her red cheeks .
Li Man hurriedly moved her face away and rebuked, "Stop that . "
"Do you dare say something like that again?" Li Yan threateningly smiled . And yet, Li Man couldn't say words to display an unyielding attitude .
"Alright, I should go now . Otherwise, third brother will definitely come looking for me . " Li Yan let go of her other hand . But just as she lowered her guard, he suddenly kissed the corner of her lips . Happily laughing, he left .
"You -" Li Man glared at him in vexation . She turned away and did her best to wipe the spot that he had kissed, but a warm, sweetness flowed through her heart .
