Fortunate Wife

Chapter 127 – Delivering soup (4)

“Li Yan?” Li Man doubtfully repeated in a questioning tone. She finally remembered that she had seen this girl waiting for Li Yan before. She had looked beautiful from afar and looked even more beautiful close up. Her face was as beautiful as a painting, and her skin was a smooth as porcelain.

“Is he home? I heard that he was sick. Is it serious?” Because Li Man had remained silent, Mudan nervously asked a series of questions.

Seeing how anxious she looked, Li Man quickly pointed at the eastern hut. “He’s over there. He’s already much better.”

“Oh, thank you.” Mudan thanked her and hastily went to the eastern hut and pushed open the door.

Li Shu had gotten up from bed and was in the middle of putting on his pants. As soon as he saw Mudan, he quickly retreated towards the bed and covered himself with his quilt.

Mudan didn’t even look in Li Shu’s direction. Instead, she walked over to Li Yan’s side. “Older brother Li Yan, are you okay? I heard that you were sick. I... was worried all night.” As she said this, tears were practically dripping down from her beautiful eyes.

Hearing these words, Li Yan’s long eyebrows furrowed. He impatiently pushed his quilt to the side and sat up.

In contrast, Li Shu couldn’t bear to see a beautiful woman crying. He comfortingly said, “Ah, Mudan, don’t cry. Look, isn’t my second brother okay now?”

Li Yan was leaning against the bed. He opened his eyes and slowly turned to glare at Li Shu. “Don’t be so chatty.”

“Okay, okay, I won’t say anything.” Li Shu grinned. He pushed his quilt to the side, quickly finished putting on his pants, picked up Little Five, and said, “Let’s go and give our second brother some privacy.”

Once he said these words, Mudan blushed. She felt too embarrassed to keep crying and only used her handkerchief to lightly wipe her tears.

It was only now that Li Yan glanced at her. His gaze was neither cold nor warm.

The longer he stayed silent, the more Mudan felt ill at ease. She placed the small basket down on the cupboard, then she untied the layer of cloth that was covering the basket. She took out a bowl of chicken soup and brought it over. “Older brother Li Yan, I woke up before dawn to cook this chicken soup. Doesn’t it smell good? Drink some while it’s still hot.”

Li Yan darkly curved his lips, and his gaze was a bit cold as he looked at her. “Shen Mudan, are there too many chickens in your home?”

“Older brother Li Yan, I...” Mudan bit her lip. She almost started to cry again because of his nasty attitude. “Just drink some.”

“Go away.” Li Yan waved his hand and knocked the bowl of soup over. In a second, the steaming hot chicken soup spilled onto the ground.

Mudan’s eyes widened in shock. Her lips trembled, and she wasn’t able to say a single word.

Li Yan got up from bed and walked around her to leave the hut.

Mudan blankly stood there. Her hands remained in the same position as when she was offering the bowl to him.

By the doorway, Li Shu, Little Five, and Li Man were also stunned. As soon as Li Yan went towards the door, the three of them automatically leaned towards a corner of the outside wall and didn’t dare to make any noises.

Li Yan coldly swept his gaze over these three people. Without saying a word, he headed towards the backyard.

Li Hua had recently finished cooking breakfast. When he came outside, he saw the three people standing by the corner and looking as if they had done something wrong. “What happened?”

Li Shu quickly pointed towards the eastern hut. Li Hua looked over and saw Mudan crouched down on the ground. She was weeping as she picked up the empty bowl.
