Chapter 94
Chapter 94 - This Man, He's Truly Evil!
"Ye Ye, don't be afraid. She's your aunt."
Seeing Luo Hongye's apparent aversion to Luo Ruxin, Luo Ruying gently patted her back and said softly.
"Aunt..."
Luo Hongye timidly turned her head and whispered softly, then buried her face back into Luo Ruying's embrace.
It was clear she was still resistant to being held by Luo Ruxin...
Luo Ruxin's heart sank.
It seemed she really was being disliked...
Why...
Is she that scary...?
Luo Ruying was also curious.
Although Luo Hongye was indeed a bit shy around strangers, she had never reacted this way towards people who were kind and friendly.
For instance, with Qi Yuan and even during her first meeting with Yue Qingyou, she had allowed them to hold her.
Why was she reluctant when it came to her own sister...?
"Ye Ye, what's wrong?"
"Are you afraid of your aunt?"
Luo Ruying asked Luo Hongye softly.
Luo Ruxin looked at Luo Hongye with concern, waiting for her answer.
Luo Hongye raised her eyes, shook her head slightly, and replied in a soft voice, "Auntie doesn't like Daddy. Ye Ye doesn't like people who say bad things about Daddy..."
"Ye Ye doesn't like Auntie..."
Luo Hongye's answer stunned everyone present.
They hadn't expected a child so young to understand so much.
So she had noticed that...
Luo Hongye's words, "I don't like Auntie," felt like a sharp sword piercing Luo Ruxin's heart.
It hurt so much...
She was genuinely disliked by her adorable niece...
Ning Yechen hadn't expected that Luo Hongye's dislike and resistance stemmed from Luo Ruxin's rudeness toward him. His heart swelled with joy, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
His precious daughter was so understanding.
"Come here, Ye Ye, let Daddy hold you."
Ning Yechen reached out to Luo Hongye in Luo Ruying's arms.
Luo Hongye obediently extended her arms towards Ning Yechen and nestled comfortably in his embrace.
This scene was particularly jarring to Luo Ruxin.
She naturally interpreted it as Ning Yechen showing off in front of her, demonstrating that the child liked him and not her!
Damn it!
How dare this mortal provoke her like this!
It is all his fault that Ye Ye dislikes her!
Luo Ruxin silently added this grievance to her list against Ning Yechen, her dissatisfaction with him growing.
"Since you're here, stay for tonight."
"We can all have dinner together later."
Seeing that Luo Ruxin still seemed to harbor hostility towards Ning Yechen, Luo Ruying couldn't help but sigh softly and led Luo Ruxin to sit in the main hall.
"You sit here for a while; I'll go prepare dinner."
"Prepare... dinner?!"
"Sister, how can you do something that only ordinary women would do!"
Luo Ruxin was astonished to hear that Luo Ruying would personally cook and expressed her strong disapproval.
Someone of her status, a being from the Heavenly Realm, should be drinking spiritual spring dew and feasting on celestial fruits and ambrosia. How could she, like a common woman, cook and be tainted by the smoke and fire of the kitchen?!
Luo Ruying turned back with a slight smile and simply said, "I am a wife now, what's wrong with that?"
With that, Luo Ruying walked towards the kitchen.
Yue Qingyou stared at Luo Ruxin for a moment, then silently followed to help in the kitchen.
Eh, what's with this servant?
It feels like she's glaring at me.
Being glared at by a servant for the first time, Luo Ruxin felt a strange sensation.
How dare she...
Only after Luo Ruying entered the kitchen did Luo Ruxin sit back down with mixed emotions.
Her sister has truly changed...
She has become like a real, ordinary woman...
Is this the life her sister desired...?
Although Luo Ruxin strongly disapproved of Luo Ruying cooking like a common woman, she secretly yearned to taste her sister's cooking...
She had never tasted any dishes her sister had personally made...
"Cai Se, bring a pot of good tea, and some pastries and fruits."
Ning Yechen held Luo Hongye, letting her sit on his thigh, and instructed Cai Se and the others.
They nodded in acknowledgment and slowly left the hall to prepare the refreshments.
Luo Ruxin, with an air of arrogance, said, "No need."
"I'm quite picky with my food. Your tea and pastries are probably not to my taste. You can keep them for yourselves."
How could those mundane mortal things possibly satisfy her palate?!
Living with this man, what good food could her sister and little Ye Ye possibly enjoy?!
The more Luo Ruxin thought about it, the angrier she became. She retrieved various celestial fruits and snacks from her spatial ring and, with a wave of her hand, placed them all on the table beside Ning Yechen.
She raised her head confidently and said, "Try mine instead."
"You might not even get to eat these once in your entire life."
"Being able to taste these pastries is a blessing you owe to my sister and her child."
Ning Yechen glanced at the pastries and fruits on the table and couldn't help but laugh.
Aren't these just the most common celestial fruits and pastries in the Heavenly Realm...?
If these were in the Demon Realm, they wouldn't even be qualified to be placed before him...
Luo Ruxin, seeing Ning Yechen's suppressed laughter, frowned.
What did this guy mean...!
Why did it feel like he was mocking her?!
What an ignorant mortal!
He didn't know how many people in the Mortal Realm would give anything to have a taste of these!
"Little Ye Ye, try Auntie's pastries and see if they're delicious, okay?"
Luo Ruxin turned to Luo Hongye, her expression instantly changing, and said with anticipation.
She hoped to win back Luo Hongye's favor through snacks and treats.
Being disliked by her niece was something she couldn't accept.
That was her sister's daughter, which naturally made her her daughter too!
Luo Hongye's big, cute eyes looked at the pastries on the table, then she looked up at Ning Yechen, seemingly asking for permission to eat.
Ning Yechen smiled and rubbed Luo Hongye's head, saying gently, "Since it's from your aunt, Ye Ye, go ahead and try it."
Luo Hongye's eyes lit up, and she took a bite of a pastry.
"So... how is it, Little Ye Ye...?"
Luo Ruxin asked, filled with anticipation and nervousness.
"Yummy~"
Luo Hongye replied with a happy smile.
Great!
Luo Ruxin smiled with satisfaction, feeling triumphant.
As expected, the way to a child's heart was through her stomach!
She didn't believe that after tasting the pastries from the Heavenly Realm, Little Ye Ye would still be able to eat anything else!
Then, naturally, Little Ye Ye would become close to her!
She would be able to snatch Little Ye Ye away from that man's arms!
"Little Ye Ye, aren't these the most delicious things you've ever eaten~?"
"Tell Auntie if you like them, and I'll prepare more for you in the future~"
Luo Ruxin said with a beaming smile.
Luo Hongye's expression froze, and she shook her head decisively.
"Ye Ye likes grilled sausages the most~"
"Grilled... sausages...?!"
Luo Ruxin's eyes widened in shock.
She couldn't believe that the pastries and fruits she brought from the Heavenly Realm were actually inferior to a mere grilled sausage from the Mortal Realm...!
How... how was this possible?!
Losing to a grilled sausage was a huge blow to Luo Ruxin's pride.
How could the pastries and fruits from the Heavenly Realm lose to such junk food?!
It must be because this man had been feeding the child these unhealthy things all year round, causing her taste buds to malfunction!
It had to be!
Luo Ruxin silently added this crime to Ning Yechen's list...
This man is truly evil!
