Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress

Luo Ruxin glared fiercely at Ning Yechen, leaving him puzzled and speechless. He had no idea how he had provoked his sister-in-law again.

At this moment, Cai Se and the other two returned and set tea and snacks on the table beside Luo Ruxin. "Miss, please enjoy."

Luo Ruxin had already made up her mind. She would nibble casually on the snacks, then mercilessly criticize them to humiliate Ning Yechen. She turned her head and reached for something to taste but froze mid-motion, her hand hovering in the air, her face filled with shock.@@novelbin@@

On the table were various rare celestial fruits—crystal grapes, vermilion jade fruits, jade scale melons, and many others, some of which she had barely seen, let alone tasted.

How does he have so many celestial fruits?! Impossible!

Celestial fruits are notoriously difficult to cultivate and store, and there shouldn’t even be a place in the Mortal Realm capable of growing them!

This must be a coincidence. They just look similar to celestial fruits!

Determined not to be fooled, Luo Ruxin picked up a gleaming crystal grape. Its translucent luster and the visible flowing nectar within made her swallow involuntarily.

She popped it into her mouth, and her teeth barely broke the skin before a burst of sweet, refreshing nectar flooded her palate. The intense flavor and aroma filled her senses completely.

Delicious!

There was no doubt about it. It was a genuine crystal grape! And it wasn’t just any crystal grape. It was the most plump and flavorful one she had ever tasted!

Luo Ruxin’s expression inadvertently revealed her enjoyment, but when she noticed Ning Yechen smiling at her, she quickly wiped the look off her face and stiffened her expression. Close call! I almost forgot my goal—to criticize him, not enjoy his food!

Resolving to stay on track, she stuffed another crystal grape into her mouth before picking up a snack from the table and taking a bite. There’s no way mortal snacks can compare to celestial ones!

However, the moment she bit into it, her eyes lit up, and a look of amazement crossed her face. This… this is so good!

The flavors were unique, blending the essence of medicinal herbs with a hint of savory meat, yet the taste was perfectly balanced, leaving her warm and with a lingering aftertaste.

Damn it! How can his snacks be better than ones from the Heavenly Realm?! Luo Ruxin glared at Ning Yechen while stuffing more snacks into her mouth, her frustration evident.

Ning Yechen chuckled at the sight. These snacks had been meticulously prepared by Yue Qingyou for Luo Hongye, incorporating rare medicinal herbs to ensure they were not only delicious but also beneficial for health. Even Luo Ruying had praised them.

Watching Luo Ruxin devour the snacks with such fervor while pretending to dislike them was amusing. Suddenly, he found his sister-in-law a bit adorable, though not nearly as adorable as his wife or daughter, of course.

"If you like them, take your time. There’s plenty more at home," Ning Yechen said kindly, worried she might choke.

"I don’t like them! They’re terrible!" Luo Ruxin shot back fiercely before immediately choking on a snack. She grabbed the tea from the table and drank it all in one go.

After catching her breath, she glared at Ning Yechen again, convinced he had distracted her on purpose to make her choke.

As the aroma of the tea lingered on her palate, Luo Ruxin blinked in surprise and poured herself another cup. This tea is amazing! Even better than the ones back home!

How could everything he offered, from the snacks to the fruits to the tea, be so good?

There’s no way this has anything to do with him. These must all be prepared by my sister!

Convinced in her assumption, Luo Ruxin felt justified to continue eating.

From Ning Yechen’s lap, Luo Hongye curiously observed her aunt. Wow, Auntie eats so much… even more than me!

Not long after, Luo Ruying emerged from the kitchen with a full spread of dishes she had cooked herself. Having reunited with her family after so long, she felt genuinely happy and wanted to express her feelings through her cooking.

Yue Qingyou assisted by setting the dishes and utensils on the table.

"Ruxin, you’ve probably never had mortal food before. Give it a try," Luo Ruying invited her sister to sit at the table.

Despite having already eaten a lot of snacks and drank a lot of tea, Luo Ruxin couldn’t resist the temptation of trying her sister’s cooking. She eagerly dug in. "It’s delicious! As expected of Sister’s cooking, so good! Such amazing food is wasted on some man!"

Between bites, she didn’t forget to throw a jab at Ning Yechen.

"Ruxin!" Luo Ruying frowned, her expression serious.

She could tell Luo Ruxin was targeting Ning Yechen again, and as her husband, such disrespect was unacceptable even from family.

"Got it, Sister…" Luo Ruxin mumbled, reluctantly admitting fault.

She felt wronged. Her sister had never scolded her like this before, and now, it was all because of this man!

Ning Yechen, however, didn’t take her comments to heart. He continued smiling, occasionally feeding Luo Hongye or placing food on Luo Ruying’s plate.

Yue Qingyou, on the other hand, wasn’t as forgiving. Sitting upright, she remarked coldly, "Miss Luo, my young master is an excellent cook. Madam loves his cooking, so I wouldn’t call it wasted.

"And by the way, the dishes you just enjoyed? I made them. I’m glad they suit your taste."

Luo Ruxin: "…"

Rendered speechless, she awkwardly focused on the food.

Luo Ruying chuckled softly and placed some food on her sister’s plate. Luo Ruxin beamed with joy at her sister’s gesture, only to see her also serving Ning Yechen.

"Try this, Dear," Luo Ruying said warmly.

Ning Yechen ate the bite with a smile, then picked up a piece of food and gently fed her in return. "You should eat more too, my dear."

Blushing, Luo Ruying hesitated briefly before taking the bite.

Their affectionate interaction left Luo Ruxin frozen, her chopsticks suspended in midair. Her once radiant and powerful sister now resembled a shy young maiden, deeply in love with a man. The way they doted on each other like a long-married couple left her feeling strangely out of place at the table.

Yue Qingyou, Meng Niu, and the others at the table were entirely unfazed, already used to it.

"Me too, Sister!"

Determined not to be left out, Luo Ruxin leaned over and snatched the food Luo Ruying was offering Ning Yechen while declaring to herself, I will take my sister and Yeye back from this man!
