Chapter 187 - Come, Let Me Give You a Hug~
Inside the study.
After Yue Qingyou and the others left, Ning Yechen still had a smile on his face, propping his cheek on his hand as he gazed at Luo Ruying.
Luo Ruying felt embarrassed from being stared at. She lifted her head, gave Ning Yechen a glare, and asked shyly:
"Wh-Why do you keep staring at me…?"
"Of course, it's because my wife is beautiful that this husband can't help but want to keep looking."
Ning Yechen said bluntly, not feeling the slightest bit embarrassed.
After being meticulously dressed up, Luo Ruying was indeed so beautiful it left one speechless.
Hearing Ning Yechen’s bold and direct praise, a shy blush couldn't help but spread from Luo Ruying’s fair, jade-like neck all the way to the roots of her ears.
It was just that it wasn't so obvious under the cover of the pink rouge.
Luo Ruying pursed her red lips, her beautiful eyes glancing towards Ning Yechen, and she asked softly, full of anticipation:
"I-Is that really true…?"
In the Heavenly Realm, she had never lacked for suitors, and the number of people who hoped to become her cultivation partner was innumerable.
She would often receive all kinds of praise and laudatory songs, but her heart would never stir in the slightest; she would only give a light smile and politely refuse.
But now, because of a single sentence from Ning Yechen, she inexplicably felt her heart flutter…
"Of course, my wife today has really made this husband's heart flutter~"
Ning Yechen revealed a faint smile, his gaze shifting to Luo Hongye in Luo Ruying’s arms as he asked:
"Does our Ye Ye also think that Mommy is especially beautiful?"
"Mmm~ Mommy is the most beautiful~"
Luo Hongye happily hugged Luo Ruying and said in her milky voice.
"Hmph~ Don't think you can use the child to coax me, I won't fall for it."
Luo Ruying gave Ning Yechen a coquettish glance and said, tilting up her snow-white, jade-like neck.
The smile at the corners of her mouth was clearly brimming from the praise just now…
My wife is really not being honest…
Ning Yechen smiled dotingly, spread his arms, and opened his embrace towards Luo Ruying, saying:
"Come, let me give you a hug~"
"Eh…?!"
"Now, here…?"
Luo Ruying was stunned upon hearing this, and her face immediately flushed shyly.
How could he so easily suggest such a bold and embarrassing action…!
"What's wrong, is there a problem with doing it here?"
Ning Yechen asked, puzzled.
He didn't quite understand why his wife had suddenly become shy.
He just wanted to hug the child…
Luo Ruying looked around the study.
At this moment, besides her, Ning Yechen, and the child, there seemed to be no one else in the study…
If it was just for a hug, it seemed it wouldn't be a big deal…
Besides, every night when we sleep together, when are we not holding each other…
Luo Ruying mustered her courage and slowly walked in front of Ning Yechen. Under his puzzled gaze, she blushed and leaned down to nestle into his embrace.
Ning Yechen was completely bewildered, staring blankly at Luo Ruying in his arms.
"My dear, you're so proactive today…"
"Wh-What are you talking about…!"
"Wasn't it you who said it, that's why I, I came over!"
Luo Ruying lifted her head and said to Ning Yechen, both shy and angry.
He was clearly the one who said it. She had only mustered the courage to come over to satisfy him, how did it become her being proactive…!
Ning Yechen blinked his eyes, only then understanding that Luo Ruying had likely misunderstood his meaning. He chuckled lightly and explained:
"Wife, what I actually meant was that I wanted to hug Ye Ye…"
Luo Ruying: "…Hmm?"
Luo Ruying froze, and in an instant, her face flushed completely red with a ‘whoosh’.
So Ning Yechen had been talking about hugging the child.
And she had mistaken his meaning, throwing herself at him…
"You! You'd better make yourself clearer next time…!"
Luo Ruying bit her silver teeth and shot a fierce glare at Ning Yechen. Just as she was about to get up from his embrace in shame, she was pulled back and held tightly by Ning Yechen’s hands, pressed back into his arms.
"It's alright. Since my wife likes it, let's just hug together~"
“I don't mind."
Although Ning Yechen had only wanted to hug the child at first, since his wife had taken the initiative, there was naturally no reason to refuse.
Luo Ruying was already holding Luo Hongye in her arms while nestling in Ning Yechen’s embrace, so one could say that both mother and daughter had fallen into his arms together.
After a few symbolic struggles, Luo Ruying just let Ning Yechen hold her in his embrace.
Besides, if he deliberately didn't let go, there was no way she could break free with her strength…
It's not that she wanted to lie in his arms.
Luo Hongye, on the other hand, was very happily nestled in the arms of both Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying.
"My dear, why did you specially dress up today?"
Ning Yechen asked, holding the delicate, soft, and warm Luo Ruying in his arms.
Ever since he had known Luo Ruying, he had never seen her deliberately dress up like this.
"It wasn't me who wanted to dress up."
"It was arranged by Qingyou…"
Luo Ruying said helplessly in a soft voice.
As soon as I woke up, I was pushed into the bath by a group of maids, and then was pulled along to be meticulously dressed up.
"So it was arranged by Qingyou…"
Ning Yechen had an epiphany.
No wonder…
He had been wondering why his wife had suddenly taken the initiative to put on makeup.
Nowadays, even the combing of her hair when she got up was done by him; it was highly unlikely she would take the initiative to put on makeup…
Ning Yechen remembered that when Yue Qingyou was preparing to go see if Luo Ruying was awake, he had told her that he planned to take Luo Ruying for a stroll in the city today.
That's why Yue Qingyou had specially arranged for people to dress Luo Ruying up so splendidly…
I can only say… Qingyou, you did a good job!
Ning Yechen couldn't help but silently praise Yue Qingyou in his heart.
It was a rare chance to see his wife so splendidly dressed up…
Luo Ruying looked at the silly smile on Ning Yechen’s face and couldn't help but lightly furrow her beautiful brows.
She was even beginning to suspect that this was an arrangement Ning Yechen had ordered Yue Qingyou to make for her.
But before Luo Ruying could ask, she suddenly caught sight of the shadow at Ning Yechen’s feet seemingly squirming!
This instantly startled Luo Ruying, and she quickly scrambled up from his embrace.
There was someone else in the study…!
After being discovered, Shadow quickly burrowed into Ning Yechen’s shadow.
Ning Yechen looked down and discovered Shadow, who had not yet left. He smiled and said to Luo Ruying:
"Wife, don't be afraid. That is Shadow, the supreme commander of the Demon Realm's shadow guard attendants."
"Shadow, come out."
At Ning Yechen’s command, Shadow immediately transformed from the shadow into a jet-black humanoid figure and appeared before Luo Ruying…
