Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress-Chapter 137

Chapter 137 - Because Your Husband Likes It~

Seeing that Luo Hongye was truly alright, Qi Yuan also smiled happily and said in a low voice,

"That’s wonderful, Sister Luo!"

"Little Ye Ye is fine."

"I knew it! Little Ye Ye is so well-behaved and adorable, she would definitely be okay!"

"Mm...!"

"Thank you so much, Miss Qi."

Luo Ruying also smiled gratefully at Qi Yuan.

For Luo Hongye’s sake, Qi Yuan had been busy inviting all the renowned physicians in the city.

Although they hadn’t been of much help, Luo Ruying was still grateful for her kind intentions.

Qi Yuan waved her hand and placed it on her chest, assuring her,

"My Qi family has received great kindness from Sister Luo and Brother Ning!"

"This small matter is nothing."

"Sister Luo, if you need anything in the future, just ask!"

"Please don’t hesitate."

"It’s getting late, so I’ll take my leave now."

Looking at Luo Ruying and Ning Yechen sitting by the bed, watching over Luo Hongye, Qi Yuan smiled gently and tactfully excused herself.

I’ll bring some delicious treats for Little Ye Ye when she’s feeling better...

"Young Master, Madam, please rest well."

"I’ll also take my leave."

After Qi Yuan left, Yue Qingyou, who had been standing in the room, hesitated for a moment, then bowed slightly and also chose to withdraw.

The little princess had just escaped danger, and the Demon Lord and Madam surely wanted to stay by her side.

She could inform the Demon Lord about the Dao Immortal Clan matter tomorrow.

With Yue Qingyou gone, only Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying remained in the room.

Earlier, his mind had been solely focused on finding the Celestial Spirit Sap and the Demonic Energy Crystal to cure his precious daughter, and he hadn’t thought much about anything else.

Now that the crisis was averted, Ning Yechen suddenly realized something was amiss...

He had managed to find a way to cure Luo Hongye and obtain the necessary medicinal ingredients, barely scraping by with his explanations.

But why did Luo Hongye attract demonic energy into her body just by performing a simple breathing and spirit-gathering exercise...?

This was not easy to explain...

His wife might already be suspicious, right...?

Ning Yechen discreetly glanced at Luo Ruying, pondering how to explain himself if she questioned him.

Or should he take this opportunity to confess everything...?

He had considered this before.

Back when Luo Ruxin had misunderstood him, he had already thought about revealing his true identity to Luo Ruying and confessing everything.

But after the illusion created by the Abyssal Well, he hesitated again...

What if, after confessing, she really...

Just as Ning Yechen was wavering, Luo Ruying suddenly called out,

"Husband..."

"Eh, yes! Wh-What is it, wife?"

Ning Yechen responded hastily.

He wondered if she was about to question him...?

However, to Ning Yechen’s surprise, Luo Ruying didn’t ask anything or show any suspicion. She simply looked at him with her beautiful eyes and gave him a captivating, enchanting smile.

"Thank you..."

If Ning Yechen hadn’t been able to find a solution, she truly didn’t know what she would have done...

Ning Yechen didn’t expect Luo Ruying to thank him instead of being suspicious. He was momentarily stunned, then a gentle smile spread across his face as he reached out and embraced her.

"What are you thanking your husband for, my wife? Ye Ye is my daughter too."

"This is what your husband should do."

Ning Yechen whispered softly into Luo Ruying’s ear.

Luo Ruying’s cheek pressed against Ning Yechen’s chest, a smile gracing her lips. She wrapped her arms around his waist and closed her eyes, feeling a sense of peace.

Ning Yechen lay in the middle of the bed, one arm cradling the sleeping Luo Hongye, the other embracing Luo Ruying.

There was nothing more blissful than being able to hold his precious daughter and embrace his beloved wife while sleeping... freeωebnovēl.c૦m

And it seemed that his wife hadn’t raised any suspicions about the demonic energy within their child...

Perhaps she was too worried about Ye Ye and forgot...?

Ning Yechen thought to himself.

But it didn’t matter now.

As long as Luo Ruying didn’t bring it up, he wouldn’t actively create trouble for himself, saving him the need to find excuses and explanations...

As Ning Yechen closed his eyes contentedly, Luo Ruying, resting her head on his other arm, slightly raised her beautiful eyes and looked at his face, a thoughtful expression on her face...

Her lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but after hesitating, she closed her mouth again and chose to rest peacefully in his embrace...

It’s good like this for now...

...

The next morning, before dawn

Ning Yechen woke up first and immediately looked at Luo Hongye, who was sleeping on the inner side of the bed.

The little one was hugging his arm, her small body curled up, her sleeping face serene and peaceful. She looked as delicate and adorable as a meticulously crafted doll.

Ning Yechen smiled, relieved, and then turned his gaze to Luo Ruying, who was resting her head on his other arm.

With his wife and daughter, one hugging and one resting on him, he hadn’t dared to move his arms even slightly the entire night...

Luo Ruying’s sleeping face was breathtakingly beautiful and peaceful. Her delicate nose, rosy lips, and skin fairer than snow, her long black hair cascading over her shoulders and back, as smooth and silky as silk, exuded an air of intellectual beauty.

If one didn’t know, they would never guess she was the mother of a two-year-old child...

Ning Yechen gently reached out and tucked a strand of hair behind Luo Ruying’s ear, allowing him to better appreciate her peerless beauty...

Usually, even the slightest movement from him would wake Luo Ruying, but this time, she didn’t react at all, remaining fast asleep.

She must have been exhausted from channeling spiritual energy to protect Luo Hongye all night...

Ning Yechen looked at Luo Ruying’s rosy cheeks and couldn’t resist gently poking them with his finger.

Her skin was incredibly smooth and delicate, full of elasticity...

The slight indentations from his finger quickly disappeared...

Ning Yechen was having a blast.

"Husband... what are you doing?"

At some point, Luo Ruying had opened her beautiful eyes and was staring at him...

And Ning Yechen’s finger was still poking her cheek...

"As my wife can see, your husband is poking your cheek~"

Ning Yechen smiled slightly and poked her again, not feeling the slightest bit embarrassed about being caught.

"So, why are you poking my cheek...?"

Luo Ruying rolled her eyes at Ning Yechen and asked.

She couldn’t understand his actions...

Ning Yechen lowered his head, pressing his forehead against Luo Ruying’s. Their eyes met at close proximity.

"Because your husband likes it~"

Luo Ruying: "..."

With just those words, Luo Ruying’s cheeks involuntarily flushed a faint red. She could only shyly glare at Ning Yechen, unable to utter any words in response.

Who likes to poke someone’s face while they’re sleeping...?

Luo Ruying’s blushing face added a touch of maidenly charm to her already stunning beauty. Ning Yechen’s heart stirred, and he slowly leaned down...

Luo Ruying’s cheeks were flushed, but she showed no signs of refusal. She gently tilted her head up, exposing her snow-white neck...
