After Rebirth, the Celebrity Daughter is the Medical Expert!-Chapter 478 - 372: Second Update

Ning Youguang, just out of the bathroom after a shower, saw Shi Wangyue busy in the kitchen. She slipped on her slippers and walked into the kitchen, "What are you making? It smells so good."

Her long hair was casually tied up, and the damp mist from the shower still lingered on her, making even her curled lashes seem wet.

She looked soft and delicate.

"Dumplings made with mackerel that Aunt Ming sent me a couple of days ago," Shi Wangyue said with a smile.

"Wow!" Ning Youguang walked over to him, her eyes curved with a smile, "Aunt Ming sure knows how to get things done."

"Thanks to you," Shi Wangyue laughed, "My fridge is stuffed with things she sent."

Ning Youguang chuckled, "That’s pretty great, right? Someone cares, and it saves a lot of trouble."

In the steaming pot, the chubby dumplings bobbed and floated on the surface, looking cute.

Shi Wangyue added a little cold water into the pot.

"Did you ask her to send them to me?"

"I didn’t ask her to send you food." Ning Youguang smiled mischievously, "I just told her you’re spending the New Year alone in the future, and Aunt Ming cleverly gleaned from my message."

"Let’s find some time these days to visit home and pay our respects," Shi Wangyue chuckled, "Can’t just take and eat for free from the elders."

Ning Youguang raised an eyebrow, "It’s fine, my dad and the others have plenty of things. We might even be thanked for helping to share the load."

Shi Wangyue slowly shook his head, "Sorry, I might not be that thick-skinned."

Ning Youguang glared, "I’ll be thick-skinned."

"The dumplings are ready." Shi Wangyue smiled as he turned off the heat.

After pulling the dumplings from the pot and arranging them on a plate, he held Ning Youguang’s hands, "Let me blow your hair dry, you didn’t dry it properly, don’t catch a cold during New Year."

Ning Youguang said, "The dumplings."

Shi Wangyue chuckled, "Let them sit for a bit, they’re too hot to eat now."

When they returned to the kitchen after drying her hair, the dumplings were cool enough to eat, Shi Wangyue placed a small dish of soy sauce and vinegar between them.

"You should eat some too." He handed the chopsticks to Ning Youguang.

Ning Youguang said, "I’ll have some dumpling soup, you eat more dumplings."

Shi Wangyue poured her a bowl of dumpling soup and gently placed it in front of her, "Sorry you have to have this on New Year’s Day at my house."

Ning Youguang pretended to be displeased, "Indeed, I thought my boyfriend could really cook. I expected to have a feast today."

Shi Wangyue awkwardly coughed a few times, "Sorry, I’ll make sure you have a feast tomorrow."

"Alright, I’m not blaming you." Ning Youguang softened her expression, and then mused, "I just think I might never let you spend New Year alone anymore."

Shi Wangyue’s hand shook slightly as he picked up a dumpling, "Sorry for worrying you."

He picked up a dumpling and slowly chewed it.

Even though it was just a regular mackerel dumpling, he found it unusually delicious, delicious enough to make him not want to stop.

"Why do you apologize?" Ning Youguang sipped the bland dumpling soup, "Should we spend New Year together from now on?"

Shi Wangyue was stunned, "Sure."

Ning Youguang continued softly, "Then it’s settled. From now on, during New Year, no matter where I go, I’ll take you with me, don’t mind how it is. The way I celebrate, you celebrate."

"Okay." Shi Wangyue blinked away the mist in his eyes.

Why would he mind?

To be taken wherever she went would be a great blessing and fortune.

What right did he have to be picky?

...

Before bed at night.

Shi Wangyue asked, "Did you wake up early today?"

"Yes, got up at six." Ning Youguang yawned, her eyes moist, "I only went to sleep after two last night."

In the Xia family, it’s customary to stay up on New Year’s Eve, the least they do is stay up past midnight.

"Then sleep." Shi Wangyue gently kissed her forehead, "I’m not tired."

Ning Youguang’s eyes were too sleepy to stay open, "Then I’ll sleep." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Good night." Shi Wangyue pulled up her quilt and carefully tucked her in.

"Good night." Ning Youguang closed her eyes, and soon her breathing became steady.

Shi Wangyue gently pressed the switch on the bedside, darkening the room except for a small floor lamp casting a soft glow.

In this hazy light, he attentively watched her sleeping face, feeling everything before him was dreamlike beauty.

...

The next morning.

In a half-awake state, Ning Youguang felt something heavy on her, making it hard to breathe.

She pushed, trying to move away the one pressing on her, "So heavy."

Not fully awake, her voice was soft like cotton candy.

"Awake?" Shi Wangyue’s gentle, low voice whispered close to her ear.

"No." Ning Youguang, eyes closed, nudged Shi Wangyue’s head away, "I want to sleep more."

Shi Wangyue chuckled lightly, "It’s past eight."

"I want to sleep till noon." Ning Youguang muttered.

She could hear the rain still falling outside.

"Fine." Shi Wangyue chuckled lightly, "Let me take care of the important things first."

"Sleeping is important." Ning Youguang muttered.

"Oh, then sleep." Shi Wangyue leaned down to kiss her, "I’ll take care of it."

Ning Youguang tensed up, "Can we be respectable people?"

"Why is it not respectable to sleep with my own wife?" Shi Wangyue justified, his voice growing louder.

Simultaneously, his kisses grew more fervent, "Twenty days."

"You don’t have the heart?" he challenged.

Ning Youguang completely gave up, her body relaxed, "Fine, fine, hurry up!"

Shi Wangyue lightly bit her lip, "What did you say? Take it back."

Ning Youguang gritted her teeth, "You’ve really grown bold."

Shi Wangyue said, "I’m almost begging you."

His voice was full of grievance, "Not bold at all!"

"I just don’t get why this is fun so early in the morning?" Ning Youguang closed her eyes, annoyed, "Can’t we just have a nice sleep?"

"No." Shi Wangyue said, "This is the supreme happiness for humans, wouldn’t you say it’s fun?!"

"I don’t get it." Ning Youguang deflated.

"Without this, love is empty; with it, it’s overwhelming and glorious." 1314
