Chapter 105 - My Husband Will Be Heartbroken
Inside the Bedroom
Luo Ruying sat on the bed, and Ning Yechen sat beside her, taking her hand and asking with concern.
"Wife, what's wrong?"
Luo Ruying hesitated, her beautiful eyes gazing at Ning Yechen. She asked seriously, "Husband, I want to ask you..."
"Is there something you're hiding from me?"
Ning Yechen: "...!"
Ning Yechen's heart skipped a beat.
Why would his wife ask that...?
Could it be that she had already sensed something?!
Was that why she had been acting strangely today...?
No, wait...!
If she already knew his identity as the Demon Lord of the Demon Realm, she wouldn't be sitting here calmly and talking to him like this...
Then what could it be?
Ning Yechen's mind raced. After a brief moment of hesitation, he decided to play dumb for now.
"My dear, what are you talking about..."
"I'm not hiding anything from you..."
Luo Ruying's beautiful eyes stared intently at Ning Yechen, her brows furrowed slightly.
Ning Yechen's brief hesitation and the subtle change in his expression were enough to raise suspicion!
It seemed he really was hiding something from her!
And it looked like he didn't intend to tell her.
Could it really be...!
Luo Ruying bit her lip lightly, feeling incredibly conflicted.
She was afraid that if she continued to ask, she might uncover an answer she didn't want to see...
What would she do then...?
A brief silence fell over the room.
Ning Yechen's heart pounded with anxiety as he wondered if Luo Ruying had truly discovered his identity. Meanwhile, Luo Ruying was struggling with whether or not to continue her questioning...
After another moment of hesitation, Luo Ruying spoke again, "Husband..."
"Tell me the truth... Do you and Qingyou have a special relationship?!"
Asking this question made Luo Ruying incredibly nervous and uneasy.
After much deliberation, she finally decided to get to the bottom of it.
Instead of letting her imagination run wild, it was better for them to be honest with each other as husband and wife and clarify everything.
Perhaps it is all just a misunderstanding...?
Ning Yechen's heart leaped to his throat when Luo Ruying asked this. His eyes flashed with shock and nervousness.
Unlike Luo Ruying's previous vague question about whether he was hiding something from her, this time she directly asked about his relationship with Yue Qingyou!
It seemed she had truly sensed another layer to their relationship!
Was she asking this just to give him a way out, to let him confess everything voluntarily...?
No wonder she had been observing him and Yue Qingyou from time to time lately...
But how did his wife discover it?
Ning Yechen couldn't figure it out.
Where had he slipped up and let Luo Ruying see through his identity...?
Should he confess and seek his wife's forgiveness...?
Ning Yechen hesitated.
He wasn't sure if Luo Ruying truly knew his identity and was testing him, step by step, to make him confess willingly.
But it really seemed like she knew everything...!
Seeing Ning Yechen's hesitant and uncertain expression, Luo Ruying felt almost certain that he did have some sort of special relationship with Yue Qingyou!
Suddenly, Luo Ruying felt an unbearable tightness in her chest. She bit her lip tightly, and tears welled up in her eyes...
"My dear, why... why are you crying...?"
Ning Yechen panicked when he saw tears in Luo Ruying's eyes.
He pulled her tightly into his embrace and whispered apologies in her ear.
"My dear, I didn't mean to keep it from you..."
"Please don't cry, okay...?"
Luo Ruying lay quietly in Ning Yechen's arms for a moment, then gently broke free from his embrace and left the room without saying a word.
Ning Yechen wanted to follow, but Luo Ruying stopped him with a single sentence.
"Husband, please don't follow me for now."
"I need some time alone."
Ning Yechen: "..."
Ning Yechen didn't know what to do and silently sat back on the bed.
After Luo Ruying left the room, he started to ponder whether he should confess everything...
......
After leaving the room, Luo Ruying gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and returned to the main hall.
"Sister..."
Luo Ruxin immediately noticed Luo Ruying's reddened eyes and suddenly regretted telling her about it.
Her sister was actually crying because of that man...
Luo Ruying raised her hand to stop Luo Ruxin from speaking, then looked at Yue Qingyou, who was holding Luo Hongye, and said calmly, "Qingyou, I suddenly feel like taking a bath."
"Come with me, just the two of us."
After much thought, she decided to have a talk with Yue Qingyou...
"Yes, Madam."
Yue Qingyou immediately responded and turned to prepare the bathwater in the bathroom.
When the bathroom was filled with steaming mist, Luo Ruying removed all her clothes and slowly immersed herself in the warm water.
Yue Qingyou stood respectfully outside the bath.
"Come in and soak for a bit too," Luo Ruying said to Yue Qingyou, forcing a slight smile.
"Yes, Madam."
Yue Qingyou replied respectfully and promptly took off her clothes, revealing her alluring, moon-like fair skin, and slowly stepped into the bath.
Even Luo Ruying couldn't help but gaze at Yue Qingyou's slender and perfect figure for a few seconds.
Her skin looked just as flawless as hers...
No wonder she was his personal attendant...
"Madam, is something the matter?"
Yue Qingyou asked, noticing Luo Ruying's continuous stare.
"No, it's nothing..."
Luo Ruying shook her head gently.
In her heart, she was contemplating how to broach the subject...
Yue Qingyou took the initiative to move closer to Luo Ruying and said, "Madam, let me wash your back for you."
"Alright, thank you."
Luo Ruying didn't refuse and silently turned around.
As Yue Qingyou carefully washed her back, Luo Ruying remained silent for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Qingyou, do you... like Yechen?"
"Yes, I do."
"He is the Young Master (Demon Lord) I am most proud of and admire the most."
Yue Qingyou answered almost without hesitation, a gentle smile on her face, her expression calm and composed, without a trace of panic or nervousness.
Such a decisive answer surprised Luo Ruying.
She had thought Yue Qingyou would deny it or try to conceal it in front of her...
"Then have you ever thought about... becoming his wife...?"
Luo Ruying felt a pang of pain in her heart, but she still managed to ask the question.
She had considered that Yue Qingyou had been by Ning Yechen's side longer than her, and her relationship with him was just an accident...
If Yue Qingyou admitted to having such thoughts or intentions, she would step aside, entrust her child to her, and leave on her own!
Upon hearing this, Yue Qingyou's expression froze, and her hands involuntarily stopped. She asked in surprise, "Madam, what are you saying...?"
"I'm just the Young Master's personal attendant."
"You are irreplaceable in the Young Master's heart."
"Please don't say such things in front of the Young Master. It would break his heart."
