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.
