Sweet Rustic Love: Four Brothers’ Wife

Ye Ling wore a plain blue brocade too. It might not be of the same quality as Dongfang Ming’s but it looked great on him.

He was quite handsome to begin with, and that was half the battle won!

Wong Xiangyun stepped down from the carriage in a pink dress. She spotted Dongfang Ming not too far away before turning away to take in the guests.

She paced towards them. “Are you Master Ye, Brother Ming’s business partner?”

She smiled at Ye Ling. Never had she considered there would be such a handsome man in such a rural area.

Liu Duo had met her a few days ago and Wang Xiangyun had not made a good impression on her. So, she did not find the kindly smile genuine.

Wang Xiangyun might have been a lot prettier than Liu Duo, but Ye Ling merely gave her a once over before tearing his gaze away.

He had not seen Wang Xiangyun before. He did not know she was the one Liu Duo had been conversing with that day outside their house.

Brother Ming? Did she mean Dongfang Ming?

Among the people they knew, only Dongfang Ming had that word in his name.

So he politely replied, “Miss, when you say Brother Ming, do you mean Dongfang Ming?”

It would be better for him to confirm.

Not waiting for Wang Xiangyun to speak, Liu Duo took hold of Ye Ling’s hand. “Let’s go, Ling. Dongfang’s waiting for us over there! I haven’t eaten anything yet. I’m hungry.”

She had no intention to mingle with her. It was none of the girl’s business whether she was working with Dongfang Ming or not. The two women were not close to begin with.

Adhering to the principle that nothing was more important than the wife, Ye Ling abandoned Wang Xiangyun and directly followed Liu Duo to Dongfang Ming’s location when he heard that she was starving.

Dongfang Ming sent Ming Yan to welcome his guests when he spotted Wang Xiangyun talking to them. At the same time, the two were heading his way.

As they approached, Liu Duo said, “Dongfang, you sent your coachman too early to get us. We’re running on empty because we haven’t eaten anything. So what do you have here?”

She only saw a pond filled with water lilies and lotus leaves. There was no food. She thought he had some prepared.

Dongfang Ming merely grinned at Liu Duo’s immediate request for food. He gave Ming Yan a nod, and then said to her, “The meal will be ready soon, Duo Er, Ling. Just wait a little while longer.”

Not long after, Ming Yan led a number of people, who seemed to come out of nowhere, carrying tables and chairs towards the temporary platform built overlooking the scenery. They crossed the corridor and, at the destination, arranged the furniture before serving them their meals.

The whole process only took about seven minutes. Liu Duo and Ye Ling were shocked at and impressed by the efficiency.

“Let’s go, didn’t you say you’re hungry? I’m sure you’ll love having a picnic where you can smell the fragrance of the flowers,” Dongfang Ming ushered them, smiling.

Wang Xiangyun frowned. She did not like how Liu Duo had behaved just now!

What was her deal, cutting into her conversation with Ye Ling? She had not even received the answer to her question!

Unhappily, Wang Xiangyun began marching towards them.

After Ming Yan instructed the staff to serve their meal, he went to stand guard by the corridor.

Naturally, he blocked the women’s way!

“Ming Yan, you should move away, don’t you see my lady wants to pass through here?” Little Tian frowned at him, displeased. He was clearly not allowing her lady to enter.

Ming Yan pretended not to have heard that. He merely peered at Little Tian, who was furious at this point, and then looked elsewhere.

Move away? The reason he was standing there was so that these two women could not barge in!
