Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress

Chapter 65
Not Comfortable At All

Nightfall

After bathing, Luo Ruying sat on the edge of the bed, holding Luo Hongye in her arms, and gently dried her damp hair.

As soon as her hair was dry, Luo Hongye eagerly turned and burrowed into the covers.

Besides eating and playing, Luo Hongye’s favorite thing was sleeping with Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying every night.

“Daddy, Mommy, sleepy~”

Luo Hongye poked her little head out from under the covers and said in a milky voice.

Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying exchanged smiles, took off their outer garments, and climbed onto the bed one after the other.

One bed, one blanket, three people sleeping together…

Luo Hongye, as usual, slept between Luo Ruying and Ning Yechen.

Not long after lying down, under Luo Ruying’s rhythmic gentle strokes, Luo Hongye quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Ning Yechen propped his head up with one hand, lying on his side on the bed, gazing tenderly at Luo Hongye in front of him. Then, he raised his eyes and looked at Luo Ruying with affection.

Luo Ruying noticed Ning Yechen’s gaze, raised her beautiful eyes, and asked in confusion, “Hmm? Why are you staring at me…?”

“Because you’re beautiful, my dear.”

Ning Yechen blurted out his heartfelt compliment.

These were his true feelings.

Among all the women he had ever met, Luo Ruying was the most beautiful.

Her hair was adorned with hairpins, styled into a womanly bun, and her exquisite face exuded a mature charm befitting a mother.

Earlier, while coaxing Luo Hongye, she also radiated a loving maternal glow.

Caught off guard by Ning Yechen’s sudden compliment, Luo Ruying’s cheeks flushed slightly. She gave him a playful glare and silently lowered her head, averting her gaze.

This guy, really, what is he saying all of a sudden…

It made her feel a bit embarrassed…

Seeing Luo Ruying’s bashful appearance, Ning Yechen’s heart skipped a beat.

Even though she was already the mother of a two-year-old child, she was still like a shy young girl…

He found this feeling quite endearing…

Ning Yechen slowly leaned his face closer to Luo Ruying, the distance between them gradually shrinking.

It had been a while since he and Luo Ruying had been together.

But the time they could spend alone was limited.

Most of the time, it was basically the three of them playing with their child.

Although their feelings were gradually warming up, there hadn’t been any more significant progress.

Taking advantage of Luo Hongye falling asleep at night, this was one of the few precious moments he and Luo Ruying could share as a couple.

Late-night whispers between husband and wife.

Just as Ning Yechen leaned closer, ready to take the next step, Luo Ruying’s sudden words made him freeze in place…

“By the way, Yecheng, is that Miss Yue really your former servant?”

Ning Yechen’s heart skipped a beat.

Hmm?!

Why would my wife ask that…

Could it be that she has already sensed something amiss?!

Seeing that Ning Yechen was hesitant to answer, Luo Ruying raised her head in confusion, only to find Ning Yechen’s face very close to hers.

“You, why are you so close…?”

“Uh…”

“I’m worried about the blanket letting in drafts and Ye Ye catching a cold, so I wanted to cuddle closer for warmth!”

Ning Yechen said earnestly with a straight face.

“Is that so… Then why is your face so close to mine?”

At this moment, Ning Yechen’s face was only a fist’s distance away from hers, very close indeed.

She had a feeling that things weren’t quite as he described…

Ning Yechen coughed awkwardly and silently moved a bit further away before lying down.

Unfortunately, he had failed…

Luo Ruying looked at Ning Yechen’s disappointed expression and found it inexplicably amusing.

What exactly is he disappointed about…?

Luo Ruying propped herself up slightly, pulled the blanket, and covered Luo Hongye and Ning Yechen with more of it.

With her cultivation level, even the coldest weather wouldn’t affect her in the slightest.

So naturally, she wanted to give more of the blanket to her child and him…

“My dear, you’re so kind…”

Luo Ruying personally pulled the blanket over him, and Ning Yechen’s face instantly blossomed into a contented smile.

His wife is so gentle…

Luo Ruying said playfully, “Don’t try to change the subject. You haven’t answered my question yet.”

Ning Yechen: “…”

“Wife, she truly was my personal attendant.”

“But after I left home to live in seclusion, I haven’t seen her for a very long time.”

Ning Yechen replied cautiously.

There was no lie in his words.

Yue Qingyou had indeed always been his personal attendant in the Demon Realm.

“Hmm… personal attendant…”

Upon hearing this, Luo Ruying’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she let out a murmur with an ambiguous meaning.

Ning Yechen’s heart instantly leaped to his throat as he carefully observed the changes in Luo Ruying’s expression.

Could it be that his wife was jealous and angry…?

Fortunately, the jealousy and anger that Ning Yechen had imagined didn’t happen. Luo Ruying simply asked curiously, “Yecheng, the servants in your household all seem quite extraordinary…”

“I’m even a bit curious about your family background now.”

If it were just Meng Niu and the other two, it would be easy to explain, but Yue Qingyou’s aura and beauty were simply too outstanding!

That such a person was Ning Yechen’s personal attendant made her curious about his family background.

What kind of family could nurture such a personal attendant?

Moreover, she had an indescribable feeling about Yue Qingyou.

Her intuition told her that this woman was not ordinary…

But there was no doubt that she seemed to harbor no hostility towards them, but rather, was exceptionally respectful.

Seeing Luo Ruying’s curiosity, Ning Yechen smiled meaningfully and said, “Wife, there’s nothing to be curious about.”

“If there’s a chance in the future, I will personally take you back to see it, and then you’ll understand~”

“Hmm, that’s true…”

Luo Ruying didn’t grasp the underlying meaning in Ning Yechen’s words, thinking it was simply about a wife visiting her husband’s family in the mortal world.

As Ning Yechen’s wife, it was reasonable for her to visit his family and pay her respects…

“Are there many people in your family now?”

“If we’re going back, I should prepare some gifts.”

“There’s no need to specially prepare gifts, my dear. They will be very happy when you go back…”

“And there are a lot of people, you won’t be able to prepare enough for everyone…”

Ning Yechen said with an awkward smile.

With his status as the supreme ruler of the Demon Realm, everyone in the Demon Realm could be considered his people, and that number was far from ordinary…

Hearing this, Luo Ruying became even more curious.

Just how many people were there in his family…?

Ning Yechen, worried that Luo Ruying would continue to press him with questions, quickly changed the subject.

“Wife, lift your head up a bit.”

“Hmm?”

Luo Ruying looked puzzled but slightly raised her head from the pillow.

Ning Yechen took the opportunity to slip his arm under Luo Ruying’s pillow and said with a smile, “My dear, you can lie down now~”

Luo Ruying looked at Ning Yechen’s arm and finally understood what he was doing.

He wants her to rest her head on his arm…

Luo Ruying hesitated for a moment, then tried lying down on Ning Yechen’s arm…

As soon as she lay down, Ning Yechen’s arm curved, pulling her into his embrace, almost pressing her against his chest…

Luo Hongye was nestled between the two of them, the three of them tightly embraced.

Luo Ruying’s heart skipped a beat, her face flushing slightly. She gave Ning Yechen a playful glare but didn’t move away.

“Wife, how does it feel?”

Ning Yechen asked with a smile.

“Hmm… too hard.”

“Not comfortable at all.”

Luo Ruying pouted slightly and said in a ‘disapproving’ tone.

“Is that so? Then should I change position?”

Hearing Luo Ruying’s words, Ning Yechen was about to withdraw his arm and change position.

But Luo Ruying held his arm, closed her eyes, and said softly, “No need, let’s just stay like this…”

“It’s quite nice…”
