Chapter 118 - Your Husband Does Have That Dream
The Next Morning
Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying arrived at Nanli Academy's early childhood school, carrying Luo Hongye.
As it was their first time bringing their child to the school, Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying couldn't help but feel a bit worried, so they decided to accompany her.
Nanli Academy's kindergarten school was situated in a corner on the eastern side of the academy.
When Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying entered the school with Luo Hongye, it was already filled with the boisterous sounds of children.
The older children were frolicking and playing around, while the younger ones, finding themselves in an unfamiliar environment for the first time, were crying loudly.
The few apprentices from Nanli Academy responsible for taking care of the children were overwhelmed...
Su Yi was among them.
She was squatting down, busy comforting the newly arrived children. When she caught sight of Luo Ruying and Ning Yechen, she immediately stood up and approached them, greeting,
"Sister Luo, Mr. Ning, you're here."
"You can leave Little Ye Ye with me."
"I'll take good care of her!"
As she spoke, Su Yi smiled and extended her hand towards Luo Hongye.
"Come, Little Ye Ye, let's play together, okay?"
"Mmm..."
Luo Hongye shyly burrowed further into Luo Ruying's arms, only revealing half of her face to look at Su Yi.
Luo Ruying gently stroked Luo Hongye's back and said apologetically,
"She's a bit shy. Would it be possible for us to stay with her today?"
"Hmm... Of course!"
"Then, Sister Luo, please come with me, along with Ye Ye."
Su Yi pondered for a moment, then agreed with a smile.
Usually, parents weren't allowed to accompany their children because they were worried that the children would become dependent.
However, Luo Hongye was a once-in-a-millennium prodigy. Dean Xia Guo of Nanli Academy had personally ordered that any requests from Luo Ruying's family should be accommodated as much as possible.
Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying, carrying Luo Hongye, followed Su Yi to a small open space in front of the school.
The open space was already filled with children playing and frolicking, most of them around four or five years old.
Some children were accompanied by maids, while others were left alone in the school.
Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying found a spot in the back and sat down with Luo Hongye in their arms. Su Yi then walked in front of the group of children.
"Clap, clap, clap."
"Children~ Welcome to Nanli Academy~"
"My name is Su Yi, you can call me Sister Su~"
"How about I play with you all today~?"
Su Yi clapped her hands, and the boisterous children quieted down a bit.
Seizing the opportunity, Su Yi smiled warmly and kindly, speaking to the children who were now sitting obediently together.
As soon as they heard about playing, the children's enthusiasm was ignited, and they eagerly responded,
"Okay~"
"But Sister doesn't know us yet~"
"Why don't you all introduce yourselves to Sister first?"
"After you're done, Sister will give you a candy as a reward~"
Su Yi smiled and took out a bag of candy from her pocket, dangling it in front of the children.
Upon seeing the candy, many children immediately jumped up and down, vying to introduce themselves first:
"Me, me, me~!"
"I'm Chen Ling~"
"Chen Ling~ What a beautiful name~"
"What's Chen Ling's favorite thing?"
Su Yi smiled, walked over to the little girl named Chen Ling, and squatted down to ask.
"My favorite thing is bunnies~"
"Bunnies are so cute~"
Chen Ling replied with a smile.
"Bunnies, huh? Ta-da~"
Su Yi clasped her hands together, then slowly opened them, revealing a small, delicate rabbit formed from spiritual energy in her palm.
This sight immediately caught the attention of the children present, their eyes lighting up with curiosity as they gathered around Su Yi.
"Sister Su, Sister Su, how, how did you do that?!"
"That's amazing~"
"Sister Su, tell us quickly."
Luo Hongye, nestled in Luo Ruying's arms, also peeked at Su Yi. Seeing the ethereal, glowing rabbit in her hand, her clear eyes widened in surprise.
However, unlike the other children, she wasn't amazed by the magic itself, but rather surprised that Su Yi, like her Daddy, could conjure small animals!
But compared to the little birds Daddy conjured, this rabbit wasn't as pretty and couldn't move...
Daddy is still more amazing...
"Daddy~"
"That sister can also conjure little animals~"
Luo Hongye pointed at the little rabbit in Su Yi's hand and said curiously.
"Y-Yes, that's right..."
Ning Yechen couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He discreetly made a shushing gesture to Luo Hongye.
Luo Hongye then remembered the secret agreement she had with her Daddy and quickly covered her mouth obediently...
Luo Ruying looked at Luo Hongye in her arms with a puzzled expression, then glanced at Ning Yechen, who looked like he was hiding something.
I have a feeling these two are keeping something from me again...
Luo Ruying didn't dwell on it. Seeing that Luo Hongye seemed interested in the rabbit in Su Yi's hand but was too shy to approach, she quietly formed a rabbit in her own hand and placed it in Luo Hongye's.
Compared to Su Yi's small, flickering rabbit, the one Luo Ruying created was more intricate and lifelike.
It hopped and jumped around in Luo Hongye's hand.
If it weren't for the faint glow of spiritual energy around its body, it would be indistinguishable from a real one!
Luo Hongye stared in wide-eyed wonder, her little face beaming with joy as she hugged the rabbit tightly.
Mommy can also conjure animals like Daddy...
Meanwhile, the children continued with their self-introductions.
"My name is Wang Fugui, and my favorite thing is money~"
"Money can buy lots of good stuff!"
"I'm called Niu Da~ My favorite... My favorite thing is eating~"
"It's my turn, it's my turn! I'm Zhen Yingjun, and my favorite thing is women~!"
"My dream is to marry many, many wives in the future~!"
A precocious child eagerly raised his hand and declared his lifelong dream.
"At such a young age, and you're already thinking about such things...!"
Su Yi walked over to Zhen Yingjun and lightly tapped his head with her finger.
Honestly...
Children these days are maturing so early...
Luo Ruying, sitting in the back, couldn't help but cover her mouth and let out a melodious giggle.
"This child is destined for greatness..."
Ning Yechen couldn't help but sigh.
He wasn't just saying that casually.
This little guy named Zhen Yingjun did indeed possess decent talent and potential.
If he encountered some fortunate opportunities in the future, ascending to the Heavenly Realm wouldn't be impossible.
However, to Luo Ruying, Ning Yechen's words sounded like something else entirely...
"What's the matter? Is my husband envious?"
"Or could it be... my husband also shares the same dream as that child...? Hmm?"
Luo Ruying narrowed her beautiful eyes, a smile playing on her lips, and gazed at Ning Yechen with a meaningful look.
This is practically a death sentence of a question...
But Ning Yechen suddenly felt the urge to tease Luo Ruying, so he chuckled and joked,
"Yes, your husband does have that dream."
"I almost had a harem of thirty thousand beauties~"
"Th-Thirty thousand beauties...?!"
"You, you still want thirty thousand...!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Ruying's expression changed instantly. Her anger caused her chest to heave, and she gritted her teeth, looking like a cat whose fur had been ruffled.
She was just making a casual joke, testing him a little...
He, he actually dared to say thirty thousand beauties...!
Even emperors in the mortal world didn't have such a luxurious life!
