Chapter 190 - Don't be afraid (1)
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.
