LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 87
Chapter 87
My Dear, Please Guide Me for the Rest of Our Lives~
Night deepened, and snow began to fall.
People on the streets started heading home, leaving the streets dimly lit and sparsely populated. The once bustling and lively streets grew quiet.
Luo Ruying stood at the street corner, holding Luo Hongye in her arms, gazing into the distance.
After parting with Ning Yechen, she hadn’t immediately returned home. Instead, she chose to wait for him at this sole path leading to their house…
Because she still wanted to give him the gift she had prepared, taking advantage of the New Year’s Eve atmosphere tonight…
Luo Hongye, having walked for a long time, was already tired and had fallen asleep in her arms.
Ning Yechen had originally planned to fly back home discreetly, but he saw Luo Ruying waiting for him at the street corner with their child.
Why didn’t this silly girl go home? Why did she have to brave the snow and wait for him here…
A smile unconsciously crept onto Ning Yechen’s lips. He stealthily landed at the corner of the street, pretending to be returning from the market, and walked towards her.
“My dear~”
“You’re back.”
“Hmm…? Didn’t you say you were going to buy something?”
Luo Ruying’s heart felt inexplicably relieved when she saw Ning Yechen appear.
She had a feeling that something had happened in the city tonight and was worried and regretful for letting Ning Yechen leave her side alone.
As a mortal in a city filled with cultivators, it would be disastrous if he encountered any danger…
She was waiting for Ning Yechen not only to give him the prepared gift but also out of concern for his safety.
If he didn’t return soon, she was going to go look for him herself.
However, seeing Ning Yechen return empty-handed, Luo Ruying couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
After all, Ning Yechen had said he was going to buy something, and she was curious about what it was.
Ning Yechen froze, suddenly remembering that he had used the excuse of buying something but had returned without buying anything!
Under Luo Ruying’s questioning gaze, Ning Yechen explained, “When I went there just now, unfortunately, it was closed…”
“Closed? On the busiest day of the year?”
Luo Ruying asked, puzzled, but she didn’t dwell on it too much.
“Yeah, maybe the owner took their family out to enjoy the festivities…”
Ning Yechen smoothly replied.
Luo Ruying thought about it and found it plausible.
On such a lively festival day, it was possible for them to temporarily close the shop and take their family out to join the fun.
“Alright, wife, it’s getting cold outside. Let’s head home quickly.”
Ning Yechen hooked Luo Ruying’s arm and was about to walk home.
However, at this moment, Luo Ruying said somewhat shyly,
“Wait a minute, I… I have something for you…”
“Hmm?”
Ning Yechen stopped, looking at Luo Ruying with anticipation.
He had sensed that Luo Ruying seemed to have something to say to him before he left. So it turned out she had prepared a gift for him…!
Seeing Ning Yechen’s expectant expression, Luo Ruying became even more embarrassed. After hesitating for a moment, she took out a silvery-white, fluffy scarf from her bosom and handed it to him.
Initially, she had planned to knit a sweater for Ning Yechen, just like the one she made for Luo Hongye.
But as she was knitting, she felt it didn’t look very good.
Ning Yechen wasn’t a child like Luo Hongye, who could wear anything.
A plain sweater with no patterns would look too dull if he wore it outside…
So she ultimately decided to change the sweater into a scarf.
She thought she could give it to him as a gift, taking advantage of the New Year’s Eve celebration tonight…
Ning Yechen held the scarf in his hands, his face filled with delight.
The scarf felt incredibly warm in his hands.
He had thought that Luo Ruying had been busy knitting sweaters these past few days to prepare winter clothes for Luo Hongye. He didn’t expect her to have also knitted a scarf specifically for him…
His wife is truly wonderful…
“Thank you, my dear…”
Ning Yechen stepped forward and embraced Luo Ruying, his arms wrapping around her slender and soft waist.
Luo Ruying’s face flushed slightly, but fortunately, she was still holding Luo Hongye, so their bodies weren’t pressed too closely together.
“Alright, alright, let’s go home…”
Luo Ruying said, her face still tinged with a blush.
Seeing that Ning Yechen seemed to genuinely like her gift, Luo Ruying felt happy.
This was the first time she had given someone a gift, besides her family.
“Wife, I have another request. I wonder if you would agree?”
Ning Yechen didn’t release Luo Ruying from his embrace. Instead, he gazed into her eyes and spoke.
While strolling through the festival, they had their child with them the whole time. Later, while enjoying the fireworks, they were interrupted by the Sacred Lotus Sect. Now that they were finally alone, he naturally wanted to seize this rare opportunity.
“Hmm? What is it…?”
Luo Ruying asked curiously.
It was rare for Ning Yechen to make such a formal request to her.
Ning Yechen smiled slightly and whispered something into Luo Ruying’s ear.
Luo Ruying’s pretty face instantly turned crimson. She hesitated, glanced around, and asked in a soft voice,
“Now…? Here?”
“Yes!”
Ning Yechen smiled and nodded solemnly.
Luo Ruying confirmed once again that there was no one around, then, with a slightly flushed face, she whispered, “Husband…”
Indeed, what Ning Yechen had requested was for her to call him “husband” in person.
She had called him that a few times in front of others, but this was the first time they were alone, face-to-face. It did feel a bit awkward…
She didn’t quite understand why Ning Yechen wanted to hear her call him that again…
But since there was no one around, she tried calling him that.
Luo Ruying’s shy and soft whisper sent Ning Yechen’s heart soaring. Gazing at her breathtakingly beautiful, blushing face, he couldn’t resist cupping her cheeks in his hands and leaning in slightly…
Luo Ruying’s heart pounded, and she felt a surge of nervousness…
She had a vague sense of what was about to happen and slowly closed her eyes, her lips parting slightly…
Although she had initially thought of killing him after he took her innocence, she had never truly blamed Ning Yechen in her heart.
After all, it was she who had forced him at that time…
After spending this period of time with him, she felt that this man wasn’t bad…
He was good to her and their child, responsible, and now they had a happy life as a family of three.
She gradually didn’t regret giving herself to him that night…
She enjoyed these days…
Since she had already given herself to him and bore his child, she had accepted him as her one and only husband in this life…
“My dear, please guide me for the rest of our lives~”
Ning Yechen’s fingers traced Luo Ruying’s delicate and fair cheeks. After leaving a heartfelt confession, he leaned down and kissed her enticing lips.
“Hmm…”
A soft, alluring moan escaped as their lips met, their tongues intertwining…
This was the first time they had shared such an intimate kiss with both of them fully conscious. Luo Ruying’s cheeks were now flushed with a captivating crimson hue…
As their lips parted reluctantly, Luo Ruying looked at Ning Yechen, her beautiful eyes shy and hazy. She nodded slightly, as if responding to his earlier confession.
