On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness

Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Stunningly Gorgeous

Before, they hadn’t noticed, but now, watching closely, they realized her waist was unbelievably slim and supple.

After a moment, Leng Yu Yan gathered up her scarf, “Alright, let’s stop at these movements for now.”

Seeing them staring straight at her, she added, “What is it?”

Suddenly, applause broke out.

Lai Jiajia was the first to speak, “Sister’s waist is so slender it can’t be grasped with one hand, and soft as a willow. May I touch it?”

While speaking, she cheekily reached out toward her waist.

Leng Yu Yan dodged with a laugh, “Little sister, may I hit you?”

“Ahahaha…” Lai Jiajia drew back her hand, “Won’t touch, won’t touch, sister is so fierce.”

Mi Xinmei praised with a smile, “Now I finally understand why Yu Yan never practices dancing at the Dance Society.”

Another girl chimed in, “Because she dances even better than Lady Cao!”

Leng Yu Yan raised her index finger to her lips in a silencing gesture, “Did you all take note of what I just said?”

“Uh-huh!”

They all nodded in agreement, only Luo Meng’er looked troubled.

Seeing this, Leng Yu Yan walked over to her slowly, “Pay attention to your diet, and your waist will slim down a lot. The movements I just demonstrated don’t require a high physical standard.”

During this conversation, she took out a folded piece of paper, “Here’s the recipe for a fat-reducing meal, you can try it out these next few days.”

Luo Meng’er accepted it with surprise and burst into joyful tears, “Thank you, Yu Yan, this will definitely work!”

She had heard early on that when Leng Yu Yan was kicked out of her home, she was extremely overweight, yet now she was slender and graceful, which must be very effective.

Moreover, the fact that Mi Xinmei’s facial pimples had cleared up a lot after eating the dietary recipe given by Leng Yu Yan significantly boosted Luo Meng’er’s confidence.

Leng Yu Yan smiled, “My recipes are tailored to individuals; what works for you may not work for others. Therefore, you must keep it a secret.”

She used to quietly take the pulse before coming up with the recipes, and what worked for Mi Xinmei did for Luo Meng’er too.

Hearing this, Luo Meng’er and Mi Xinmei nodded profoundly, indicating that they would keep the recipes safe and not reveal a word.

Furthermore, it is not unusual for noble ladies to treasure recipes as part of their dowries, showing the value of the recipes.

Grateful for Leng Yu Yan’s generosity, they considered her a true friend.

It wasn’t long before they started to practice dancing.

Because of her figure, Leng Yu Yan corrected many of Luo Meng’er’s moves.

They practiced dancing until classes ended.

Class D students, seeing them return from somewhere unknown to the school building, snickered at them.

“Lucky it’s a team competition; if it were by class, we’d be utterly humiliated.”

“What’s the use of having a Jade Token when even Lady Cao has given up on you? Still thinking about qualifying?”

“Someone should mentally prepare early, because soon enough, you’ll have to reveal your face and walk around the academy.”

That was when Luo Meng’er realized, truly capable people, like Leng Yu Yan…

Pay no mind to others’ scornful ridicule!

Even Lai Jiajia had become much more composed.

Packing up their belongings, they walked to the academy’s main entrance, chatting and laughing.

Leaving other Class D students staring at them, baffled at how these misfits didn’t retort.

Upon reaching the academy’s entrance, Lai Jiajia exclaimed excitedly, “Everyone has made progress today, let’s eat at my house!”

Leng Yu Yan spoke calmly, “In my opinion, we should go home and practice diligently these next few days.”

Luo Meng’er nodded in agreement, “Yes, the preliminary round is only a few days away. Aside from Yu Yan, we have quite a gap compared to the students from Class A.”

Hearing that, the other girls nodded in unison, then bid each other farewell.

Not wanting to return to the Eastern Palace so soon, Leng Yu Yan, accompanied by Miao Zhu, headed to Li Yu’s restaurant.

The Shopkeeper, though she wore a veil, recognized her by those extraordinarily beautiful eyes.

“Miss, are you looking for our boss or are you here to dine?”

“We are here to dine, not to see him.”

“The shopkeeper will arrange a private room for you.” Attentively, the shopkeeper led them toward an elegant room on the second floor, “Our boss has said that if Miss comes by, he must be informed. Still, I will be discreet in notifying him.”

“It’s okay.”

Once all the dishes were served, Miao Zhu immediately closed the door.

To enjoy her meal comfortably while in the elegant room, Leng Yu Yan removed her mask and the decorative patches.

Li Yu coming over wouldn’t matter; after all, he always saw her without the mask and patches anyway.

Miao Zhu efficiently took the mask and patches and stored them in her wallet, “Miss, why aren’t we going back to the Eastern Palace for our meal today?”

“I don’t wish to see someone,” Leng Yu Yan sighed faintly.

That man was like an iceberg, always cold without reason; I owe him nothing, so why hurry back just to see his face?

Then she added quickly, “Sit down, and later we’ll pick some dishes that Mrs. Zhao likes to take back with us.”

“Sure thing!” Miao Zhu happily took her seat.

Midway through their meal, Ji Qingyu knocked and entered, comfortably seating himself opposite Leng Yu Yan.

“Let’s add a few more dishes and take our time.”

“Add a few more dishes? Are you treating us?” Miao Zhu had not an ounce of fondness for the handsome Li Yu before her; what kind of man asks a woman for money?

He was the first.

Ji Qingyu smiled, “Of course.”

Soon enough, several more dishes were added.

Just as the server brought three empty sets of bowls and chopsticks, Leng Yu Yan realized something was amiss, “This…”

Ji Qingyu explained, “I haven’t had my evening meal, and it just so happens that my parents are here at the restaurant, so why not dine together?” @@novelbin@@

Upon hearing this, Miao Zhu became irritated, “I should have known, you’re such a cheapskate! My miss and I were dining here, and you have the nerve to freeload your way into our meal. And now you even bring your parents along. Are you that short on cash?”

“This restaurant belongs to him.” Leng Yu Yan slightly furrowed her brows; what did it mean for this man to bring his parents to dine together?

Hearing this, Miao Zhu’s chopsticks clattered onto the table. Could it be that this man was the boss the shopkeeper mentioned?

Ji Qingyu’s smile grew wider.

Leng Yu Yan arched an eyebrow and stood up, “I’m finished eating.”

Seeing this, Ji Qingyu also stood up, blocking her way to explain, “My parents are here in the restaurant. They just found out that my lifesaver was here and wish to meet her.”

Leng Yu Yan furrowed her brows.

She had merely fixed his injured arm and lent him some Silver Coin; did that really qualify as saving his life?

At that moment, a middle-aged couple appeared at the entrance of the private room, the man tall and imposing, the woman gentle and soft.

“My son, is this Miss Li?” Ye Yuan smiled elegantly.

Leng Yu Yan gave a small bow, “Uncle and Auntie, I hope you are well!”

The smile in Ye Yuan’s eyes was warm, his heart melting. His son’s taste was unsurpassed!

The young girl before them had a stunning beauty that was breathtaking.

Her voice was sweet and delightful, like a clear spring flowing through one’s heart.

Her eyes were bright and clear, her figure graceful and delicate.

Her luscious lips, her fine waist, she was indeed exceedingly beautiful!

Even her hands were as white as jade.

Ye Yuan, who had seen countless beauties, was amazed by her appearance.

Seeing his mother staring at Li Yu for quite some time, Ji Qingyu coughed lightly, “Mother, you’re staring too much; you’ll frighten her!”

Ye Yuan composed himself, lifting a hand, “Look at this food, Miss Li hardly touched anything. Please take a seat and eat more!”

Noticing the beautiful woman’s hand, Leng Yu Yan’s eyes flickered. How did her fingers come to be fused together?

As she pondered how to separate these fingers and whether the connected flaps of skin would be sufficient, Ji Qingyu guided her back to her seat.
