Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress-Chapter 171
Chapter 171 - The Young Master and Madam Have Worked Hard~
After another intense session of "overturning clouds and rain," the room once again returned to tranquility.
Gazing at Luo Ruying in his arms, who looked tired and was drenched in fragrant sweat, Ning Yechen reached out with a look of tender love to gently caress her cheek, brushing aside the few strands of hair stuck to it.
Luo Ruying’s delicate form was naked. With her eyes tightly closed, she curled up like a little kitten, nestling quietly in Ning Yechen’s embrace, showing no intention of getting up.
She was too tired...
Ning Yechen smiled dotingly and just lay quietly on the bed, holding Luo Ruying.
He let Luo Ruying sleep soundly in his arms again and did not disturb her further.
Until it was almost dusk, Luo Ruying slowly woke up.
The moment she opened her eyes, it was still that familiar, handsome face smiling and gazing at her.
"My dear, are you awake?"
"Hmph..."
Luo Ruying let out a soft, charming humph, gave Ning Yechen a glance filled with endless charm, then turned her head and continued to lie on his chest with her eyes closed.
Looking exactly as if she were throwing a tantrum and didn’t want to get out of bed...
Although Ning Yechen was more than happy to continue holding Luo Ruying like this, it seemed they had already spent a long time in the room.
If they stayed any longer, it might seem inappropriate...
"My wife, it’s time to get up."
"It’s almost the Hour of Xu~(7 PM to 9 PM)"
Ning Yechen gently caressed Luo Ruying’s smooth and delicate form and teased her.
"The Hour of Xu?!"
Hearing this, Luo Ruying’s lovely face showed alarm. She quickly covered her body, scrambled up, and looked out the window.
Sure enough, outside the window, the evening glow of the sunset dyed half the sky red.
"Aiya! Husband, why didn’t you wake me up earlier...!"
Luo Ruying pulled at the bedclothes, scrambled off the bed in a flurry, and hurriedly put on her dress and tidied up her appearance.
Staying in the room for so long without going out, it wouldn’t be good if it aroused suspicion...
"You were sleeping so soundly, I couldn’t bear to wake you."
Ning Yechen propped his head on his hand, lying on his side on the bed, quietly admiring Luo Ruying as she hastily dressed before his eyes.
He hesitated internally, wondering whether to tell her that they had, in fact, been in the room for a very long time...
"Husband, help me with my hair."
Luo Ruying, after dressing, sat down before the dressing table and began to observe her appearance and expression in the bronze mirror.
Ning Yechen felt amused. He walked straight behind Luo Ruying and skillfully began to comb her beautiful hair, coiling it into a bun.
Gazing at Ning Yechen in the bronze mirror as he tied up her hair, Luo Ruying couldn’t help but reveal a captivating and charming faint smile.
After getting all dressed up, Luo Ruying and Ning Yechen walked out of the room hand in hand.
Along the way, Luo Ruying’s heart was filled with shyness, her mind completely occupied with how she would explain waking up so late...
However, just as they arrived in the courtyard, Luo Ruying was met with the surprised gazes of Yue Qingyou as well as Meng Niu and the other two, whose injuries had already completely recovered.
Yue Qingyou smiled faintly and called out respectfully:
"Young Master, Madam."
"Yo-Young Master! Madam!"
Meng Niu and the other two also hurriedly bowed and greeted them.
"Mmm..."
Luo Ruying nodded lightly in acknowledgment. When her beautiful eyes turned to Luo Hongye, who was sitting in Yue Qingyou’s arms, she found the child pouting, gazing at her with a face full of grievance.
"Ye-Ye Ye, what’s wrong?"
Luo Ruying walked up to Luo Hongye, feeling a little guilty, and asked.
"Mommy and Daddy have been hiding in the room all this time and not keeping Ye Ye company..."
"Ye Ye couldn’t see Mommy and Daddy either..."
Luo Hongye said aggrievedly.
Seeing that her child had missed them, Luo Ruying felt a little remorseful and reached out to take Luo Hongye into her embrace.
"It’s Mommy and Daddy’s fault..."
"To-Today, Mommy wasn’t feeling well, so Daddy was taking care of Mommy..."
Luo Ruying explained coaxingly while holding Luo Hongye.
"Then is Mommy feeling better now?"
Upon hearing that Luo Ruying wasn’t well, Luo Hongye lifted her little face and asked with concern.
Luo Ruying was very touched in her heart and reached out to stroke Luo Hongye’s little head.
"With Ye Ye worrying about Mommy, Mommy is already fine~"
"Really?"
"Mommy and Daddy didn’t come out for several days, Ye Ye was so worried..."
Luo Hongye snuggled tightly in Luo Ruying’s embrace, her little face full of joy.
"I’m sorry for making Ye Ye worry~"
Luo Ruying patted Luo Hongye’s small back coaxingly, when suddenly, her expression froze as she sensed something was wrong...
Se-Several days...?!
"Ye Ye, ha-has Mommy been gone for a long time...?"
Luo Ruying, with a look of utter shock, stammered her question to Luo Hongye in her arms.
Luo Hongye nodded her little head and began to count on her tender fingers.
"One... two... three... Mommy and Daddy have been in the room for three days already~"
"Today is the fourth day~"
Luo Ruying: “...”
Fo-Four days?!
Luo Ruying had never imagined that four days had already passed!
She had thought it had only been one night and a morning...!
To-Too mortifying!!
From her jade-like neck to her earlobes, Luo Ruying’s entire lovely face instantly flushed completely red...
Do-Don’t worry...!
It can still be explained!
Just say that we talked for too long, and on top of that, I wasn’t feeling well, so that’s why we stayed in the room for quite a while...!
Luo Ruying forced herself to be calm and prepared her speech in her heart.
However, when she looked up, she was met with the ’proud mother’-like gratified smile and gaze on Yue Qingyou’s face...
"The Young Master and Madam have worked hard~"
"I’ll go make some soup for you to replenish your bodies~"
After leaving these words, Yue Qingyou slowly got up and walked towards the kitchen.
As she was leaving, she gave Luo Ruying another look with that meaningful, gratified smile...
Luo Ruying: “...”
Hasn’t she completely guessed it already...!
It’s over, I can’t stay in this household anymore...
Luo Ruying shyly covered her cheeks, turned around with a face full of bashfulness, and glared fiercely at Ning Yechen.
It’s all this guy’s fault...!
It had clearly been four days, and he didn’t even tell her...
Ning Yechen smiled faintly and spread his hands innocently.
This wasn’t his fault...
He also only knew that a long time had passed, but not exactly how long...
Ning Yechen’s gaze turned to Meng Niu and the other two, and he asked with a faint smile:
"How are your injuries?"
He had heard that in the Nanli Academy, Meng Niu and the other two had risked their lives to protect Luo Hongye.
Therefore, Ning Yechen’s tone towards Meng Niu and the other two was also much gentler.
It was just that being suddenly treated so gently, the three of them shivered all over and suddenly felt very unaccustomed to it...
"Thank you for your concern, Young Master..."
"Lady Yue has already treated us."
"We are already fine..."
Cai Se replied, her heart trembling with fear.
These past few days, they had been constantly worried that Ning Yechen would blame them for failing to protect the Little Princess.
Fortunately, their worries were completely unnecessary.
Ning Yechen had no intention of blaming them at all. Instead, he opened his mouth to praise them:
"That’s good. You all did a good job this time."
The-The Lord actually praised them...?!
Meng Niu and the other two were stunned on the spot and couldn’t help but shed tears of emotion right there...
So touching!
To think they could actually receive the Lord’s praise!
Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying stared at Meng Niu and the other two with a look of bewilderment.
Why did they suddenly start crying...?
