Chapter 146 – Stay (5)2

Li Mo tilted his neck to look up at her. Seeing her bright red face, he suddenly wanted to laugh. “Why would it be awkward?” Most of the families in the Goddess’s Ravine were all like this. Even in the richer families, it was common for group of brothers to marry only one wife. Of course, later on, they might add concubines to their household.

Defeated, Li Man was somewhat speechless, “Even so, if you and your brothers only have one woman, wouldn’t you all find it unbearable?”

“I understand. In all aspects, I’m not as good as my younger brothers. It’s okay that you’re closer to them than me.”

He was certainly broadminded. “Can you guarantee that Li Yan and the others will think the same way as you?”

“I can,” Li Mo easily answered. “Second brother and the others are all good children. They all have a sense of propriety.”

“…” Li Man was left speechless. So, he was saying that it was all up to her to decide?

After taking several deep breaths, Li Man decided to let herself calm down first. She couldn’t let herself get confused by his strange logic. This usually taciturn man had a surprisingly skillful tongue when he was negotiating. It had only taken him a few words to push her into a pit.

“Oldest brother.” After Li Man calmed down, she continued, “The issue of sharing a wife, can we just let it be?  Perhaps, in the near future, all of you will be able to find women that you genuinely love.”

Li Mo blushed and stayed silent. He had already gotten used to their interactions during the past several days. How could he possibly fall in love with another woman?

“If you won’t agree, then -” Li Man’s eyes were a bit red. Knowing that the Li family had purchased her was really hurtful. She would have never guessed that this would be the truth. “How much did do you buy me for? Can I work that off?”

Li Mo’s heart softened when he heard her miserable sounding voice. “Why mention that? Whatever you say, I’ll agree to it.”

“Then -” Li Man’s eyes brightened. “Can we keep our conversation a secret?” She was scared that if Li Yan and the others knew about this matter, they would act even presumptuously. Even if she was an idiot, she realized now that their previous behavior of wanting to pursue her, but stopping themselves was because they didn’t want to upset her when she didn’t know the facts.

Li Mo looked troubled. “This conversation, we already discussed this amongst ourselves beforehand.”

*Bzz* Li Man blanked out. “What?”

“Don’t worry, we’ll be the same as before,” Li Mo comforted her.

“But -” It wouldn’t be bad if this conversation was kept between them. If everyone knew, it would be so awkward.

“Third brother is back,” Little Five’s voice came from the doorway as if he was notifying them.

Li Man’s mind had truly been thrown into turmoil.

Li Mo gazed at her and said, “It’s okay. Third brother wouldn’t dare to do anything. When we found out that you were missing this afternoon, third brother was so anxious that he almost cried.”

Li Shu almost cried? Li Man had a hard time believing this.

However, at this time, Li Shu had already entered the room. His face slightly stiffened when he saw that they were the only two people in the room. He glanced at Li Man with a heated gaze before quickly turning to ask Li Mo, “Oldest brother, I brought that beast back. I’ll skin it now.”

“En, be careful. Don’t damage it,” instructed Li Mo.

Li Shu left the hut right after answering, “I know.”

Li Man met Li Mo’s eyes. She heaved a secret sigh of relief and said, “Get some rest. I’ll leave first.”

“Wait -“

“Yes?”
