A Suggestive Expression

Ye Ling had just wanted to help, but he ended up being tricked. How horrible!

If he really took Li Chunmei as his wife, then what would happen to Liu Duo? He could not be her husband anymore and she would be with his three brothers instead!

His hands had somehow wrapped themselves slightly tighter than usual around Liu Duo's waist as he thought about the problem. He did not want that to happen. He still wanted to be her husband.

Liu Duo wondered what had set him off again to hold her so tightly. She cupped his face in her hands as she smiled. "Ling, you have quite a tight grip over there. Are you planning to snap me in half?"

Upon hearing that, Ye Ling loosened his grip but did not let go of her.

He did not look well. With droopy eyes, he whispered to her, "Duo Er, if Chunmei wants me to marry her, will you still want me?"

Er...

Didn't she say it was not their responsibility to bear? Why would he say something that?
