Chapter 43
My Wife is Beautiful Even When She Eats
Meanwhile, Qi Yuan led Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying through a different alley, winding through the bustling city.
The street was lined with various food stalls, and a mixture of enticing aromas filled the air.
The street was packed with people, many of them families with children.
“This is the most bustling and lively food street in Nanli City,” Qi Yuan explained as she led the way. “Here, you can find not only the unique delicacies of Xuanqian Kingdom but also cuisines from other countries!”
She had initially thought that cultivators as powerful as Luo Ruying might not be interested in these snacks and street food.
However, upon arriving at the food street, Luo Ruying deliberately slowed her pace.
Having been born and raised in the Heavenly Realm, Luo Ruying had only ever consumed heavenly fruits and spirit liquids. She had never seen these mortal snacks and dishes before.
People in the Heavenly Realm didn’t need to cook like mortals; they sustained themselves by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Even children born in the Heavenly Realm only needed to consume heavenly fruits and spirit liquids.
Luo Hongye, nestled in Luo Ruying’s arms, stared around with wide, curious eyes, her mouth practically watering…
When they passed a stall selling candied fruit skewers, Luo Hongye’s gaze was fixated, her little mouth slightly agape…
Seeing this, Ning Yechen smiled dotingly and walked to the stall, holding up two fingers.
“Boss, two skewers, please.”
“Alright!” the stall owner replied cheerfully, quickly handing Ning Yechen two skewers of candied fruit. He couldn’t help but add, “You’re a lucky man, sir. Your wife and child are truly as beautiful as flowers.”
“Aren’t they?”
“I also feel very fortunate to have such a beautiful wife and adorable child.”
The stall owner’s sincere congratulations delighted Ning Yechen. His nose practically lifted with pride, and in his good mood, he decided to buy everything the stall owner had.
Luo Ruying, standing behind him, blushed slightly and gave him a playful glare.
Someone compliments you, and you buy out their entire stall?
“Here, Ye Ye, have some.”
Ning Yechen, holding a large bunch of candied fruit skewers, handed one to Luo Hongye.
The candied fruit skewers were made of various fruits cut into pieces, skewered, and then coated in a layer of hardened sugar syrup.
Luo Hongye’s eyes practically screamed “I want it!”, but she still turned to Luo Ruying and asked politely, “Mommy, can Ye Ye have some…?”
“Your daddy bought it especially for you, go ahead,” Luo Ruying said with a smile, unable to resist her daughter’s eager expression.
She hadn’t been able to properly dote on her child before, and now, her greatest wish was for her daughter to live a carefree and happy life.
Luo Hongye immediately reached out her chubby little hand and took the candied fruit from Ning Yechen. She opened her mouth and took a bite.
Worried that the bamboo skewer might poke her, Luo Ruying took the candied fruit and removed the fruit from the skewer before feeding it to her daughter.
Luo Hongye’s cheeks puffed out as she chewed, a bright and happy smile on her face.
As Luo Ruying was feeding Luo Hongye one bite at a time, another candied fruit skewer suddenly appeared before her lips.
Luo Ruying looked up and saw Ning Yechen holding the other skewer, offering it to her with a charming smile.
“Wife, this one is for you.”
“For me…?”
Luo Ruying felt a bit embarrassed.
As a former Empress of the Heavenly Realm, would it be appropriate for her to eat this kind of mortal snack…?
And being fed by Ning Yechen like this…
Under Ning Yechen’s expectant gaze, Luo Ruying brushed aside a few strands of hair that had fallen over her face, blushed slightly, and gently opened her lips to take a bite of the candied fruit.
Since no one knew her identity, it wouldn’t hurt to indulge a little, right?
Luo Ruying’s elegant and graceful movements, coupled with her blushing beauty, captivated Ning Yechen. He couldn’t help but stare for a moment, then blurted out a compliment:
“Wife, you’re so beautiful even when you eat~”
“Cough, cough… what, what are you talking about…”
Luo Ruying choked, covering her mouth and glaring at Ning Yechen with a playful annoyance.
This guy suddenly saying such things make her feel embarrassed…
“I’m not lying, wife. If you don’t believe me, ask Ye Ye.”
“Ye Ye, doesn’t Mommy look beautiful when she eats~?”
Ning Yechen said with a smile, turning to Luo Hongye in Luo Ruying’s arms.
“Beautiful~”
“Mommy… is the most beautiful~”
Luo Hongye shouted happily, her hands raised, chewing on her candied fruit.
With many people passing by on the street, Luo Ruying felt even more embarrassed and glared at Ning Yechen again, her cheeks flushed.
This father and daughter are making her blush…
Qi Yuan, watching from the side, also felt a bit embarrassed and envious.
Sister Luo and Brother Ning have such a loving relationship…
Luo Ruying then remembered that Qi Yuan was still with them. Feeling slightly awkward, she offered the candied fruit skewer to Qi Yuan.
“Would you like some…?”
“No, no, thank you, Sister Luo,” Qi Yuan quickly declined, waving her hands and shaking her head. She then looked at Luo Hongye in Luo Ruying’s arms and said with a smile, “Little Ye Ye, if you like these, I know many other delicious things.”
“Should I buy some for you?”
She had never seen such a delicate, adorable, and well-behaved child before.
The moment she saw her, she couldn’t help but feel fond of her.
Luo Hongye usually only felt comfortable around Luo Ruying and Ning Yechen. She often felt insecure and scared around strangers.
When Qi Yuan spoke to her, Luo Hongye shrank back into Luo Ruying’s embrace. But upon hearing about delicious food, she couldn’t help but peek at Qi Yuan and ask timidly, “R-Really…?”
“Of course it’s true!”
“This sister never lies to cute children!”
Seeing Luo Hongye’s adorable and delicate appearance, Qi Yuan’s eyes lit up, and she spoke with great enthusiasm.
She finally managed to get her to talk!
Little Ye Ye is so cute; she really wants to pinch her chubby cheeks!
She also wants to pick her up and give her a kiss…!
Ning Yechen, standing beside them, watched Qi Yuan’s excitement and suddenly felt the need to be wary of this girl…
She might even kidnap his child…
Ultimately, under Qi Yuan’s vivid descriptions of how delicious those foods were, Luo Hongye finally succumbed to temptation…
Luo Ruying carried Luo Hongye along the street, eating everything in sight.
Anything that piqued Luo Hongye’s curiosity, Ning Yechen would buy for her without hesitation.
Qi Yuan also actively bought various snacks and fed them to Luo Hongye.
Candied hawthorns, sesame seed cakes, tofu pudding, steamed buns…
They practically ate their way through the entire food street.
Qi Yuan and Luo Hongye’s relationship also grew a little closer…
After walking for a while, the three of them found a stone bench to sit on.
It wasn’t because they were tired from walking, but because they had too many snacks in their hands. They decided to sit down and let Luo Hongye eat slowly.
Luo Hongye sat in Luo Ruying’s lap, holding a steamed bun bigger than her face, happily taking bite after bite.
Luo Ruying wiped the stains from her mouth with a handkerchief, a helpless yet doting smile on her face.
Just then, a commotion and the sound of alarm bells ringing echoed from the distance.
City guards rushed towards the source of the commotion.
People who had fled the scene explained the situation to those around them, panting.
Just now, three mysterious people had attacked Jiang Li and his entourage!
In the blink of an eye, everyone in Jiang Li’s group was killed!
Only Jiang Li seemed to have miraculously survived!
