In the study
After Yue Qingyou and the others had left, Ning Yechen stood with a smile, his gaze fixed on Luo Ruying.
The prolonged stare made Luo Ruying feel flustered. She looked up and glared at him, asking shyly, "Why are you staring at me like that...?"
"Because my wife is so beautiful, I can't help but want to keep looking at her," Ning Yechen replied frankly, showing no embarrassment.
After Luo Ruying had meticulously dressed up, her beauty was truly beyond words.
Hearing Ning Yechen's bold and direct praise, a blush crept up her fair neck to the roots of her ears. However, it was somewhat masked by the pink rouge.
Luo Ruying pressed her red lips together and glanced at Ning Yechen with anticipation, asking softly, "R-really...?"
Even in the Immortal Realm, she had never lacked admirers. Countless cultivators had sought to become her Dao companion, and she had often received flowery compliments. Yet none of these had ever stirred her heart; she would simply smile politely and decline.
But now, Ning Yechen's words had inexplicably made her heart flutter...
"Of course, my dear wife is particularly captivating today~"
Ning Yechen smiled faintly, his gaze shifting to Luo Hongye in Luo Ruying's arms. "Doesn't our Yeye think Mommy is especially beautiful too?"
"Mmm~ Mommy is the prettiest~" Luo Hongye replied happily, hugging Luo Ruying in her childish voice.
"Hmph~ Don't think you can use the child to trick me. I won't fall for it," Luo Ruying retorted playfully, rolling her eyes at Ning Yechen and tilting her snow-white neck upward.
The smile on her lips clearly betrayed her delight in his earlier praise...
*My wife is so insincere...*
Ning Yechen chuckled fondly, spreading his arms wide and opening his chest to Luo Ruying. "Come, let your husband hold you~"
"Huh...?!"
"Here... now...?" Luo Ruying froze, her face flushing crimson.
How could he so casually suggest such a bold and intimate act?!
"What's wrong? Is there a problem with being here?" Ning Yechen asked, genuinely puzzled.
He didn't understand why his wife had suddenly become so shy.
He just wanted to hold their child...
Luo Ruying glanced around the study.
Besides herself, Ning Yechen, and their child, there seemed to be no one else in the room.
*If he just wants a hug, it's not a big deal...*
*After all, we sleep in each other's arms every night...*
Gathering her courage, Luo Ruying slowly approached Ning Yechen. Under his puzzled gaze, she blushed and leaned into his embrace.
Ning Yechen was utterly bewildered, staring blankly at Luo Ruying in his arms.
"Wife, you're being so forward today..."
"W-what are you talking about?!"
"I only came closer because you said so!" Luo Ruying retorted, her face flushed with embarrassment and anger.
*He was the one who said I should be brave and come closer to satisfy him! How did it become my initiative?!*
Ning Yechen blinked, finally realizing Luo Ruying had misunderstood. He chuckled softly and explained:
"My dear, I meant I wanted to hug Yeye..."
Luo Ruying: "...Huh?"
Her eyes widened, and her face instantly turned crimson.
*So he meant hug the child...*
She had misunderstood, reading too much into it...
"You! Next time, be clearer!" Luo Ruying snarled, her teeth bared, glaring fiercely at Ning Yechen. Just as she was about to awkwardly rise from his embrace, he tightened his arms around her, pulling her back against his chest.
"It's fine. If my wife enjoys it, we can embrace together~"
"Your husband doesn't mind."
Though Ning Yechen had initially only wanted to hold his child, since his wife was being so forward, there was no reason to refuse.
Luo Ruying was already holding Luo Hongye, who was nestled against her. The mother and daughter ended up in his arms together.
After a token struggle, Luo Ruying allowed Ning Yechen to hold her close.
*After all, if he deliberately refused to let go, there's no way she could break free...*
*It's not like she's willingly lying in his arms...*
Luo Hongye, meanwhile, was happily nestled between her parents.
"Wife, why did you dress up so specially today?" Ning Yechen asked, holding the soft, warm Luo Ruying in his arms.
Since he had known her, he had never seen her make such an effort to dress up.
"I didn't dress up on my own."
"Qingyou arranged it..." Luo Ruying replied softly, her voice tinged with resignation.
The moment she woke up, the maids had dragged her into the bath and then meticulously dressed her up.
"So it was Qingyou's doing..."
Ning Yechen suddenly understood.
No wonder...
He'd been wondering why his wife had suddenly decided to put on makeup.
Usually, he even had to comb her hair when she woke up, so it was highly unlikely she'd spontaneously decide to do her makeup...
Ning Yechen remembered telling Yue Qingyou earlier, when she was about to check on Luo Ruying, that he planned to take her to the city today.
That must be why Yue Qingyou had specifically arranged for Luo Ruying to be dressed up so elaborately.
*Qingyou, you've done well!*
Ning Yechen couldn't help but silently praise Yue Qingyou in his heart.
It was rare to see his wife dressed up so elegantly...
Luo Ruying, seeing Ning Yechen's foolish grin, couldn't help but furrow her brow slightly.
She was even starting to suspect that Ning Yechen had ordered Yue Qingyou to arrange this for her.
But before Luo Ruying could ask, she suddenly noticed the shadow beneath Ning Yechen's feet seemed to be wriggling!
This startled her, and she quickly scrambled to her feet.
There were others in the study!
When the shadow was discovered, it swiftly burrowed into Ning Yechen's shadow.
Ning Yechen glanced down and saw the shadow hadn't left. Smiling, he said to Luo Ruying:
"Don't be afraid, my dear. That's Shadow, the chief commander of the Demon Realm's shadow guards."
"Shadow, come out."
At Ning Yechen's command, the shadow immediately materialized from the shadow, transforming into a pitch-black humanoid figure before Luo Ruying...
