Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress

Vol. 1 - Chapter 64 - That's Just Her

Meanwhile…

Luo Ruying was carrying Luo Hongye, sitting in the main hall. She held a bowl of porridge in her hand and fed Luo Hongye spoon by spoon as she glanced inside the courtyard from time to time.

Ning Yechen and Yue Qingyou had been chatting for some time and still had not come out.

Her instincts told her that their relationship was unusual.

But she could not quite figure out what it was.

In her heart, she kept wanting to go over and take a look, but she found it inappropriate.

Perhaps she had spent so much time in the Mortal Realm living like one that she started letting her imagination run wild!

Luo Ruying reached out to touch her face while contemplating.

She would never have had such fanciful thoughts in the past.

She hoped she was overthinking things.

“Mommy, ahhh~” Luo Hongye was sitting in Luo Ruying’s arms, swinging her legs. She raised her head and opened her mouth, waiting to be fed.

Luo Ruying smiled dotingly, tossed her thoughts aside, and continued feeding Luo Hongye the porridge.

Luo Hongye narrowed her eyes and swung her legs back and forth in joy with an adorable smile on her face.

Ning Yechen, Yue Qingyou, and the others walked out of the inner quarters.

“Daddy,” Luo Hongye called out sweetly.

Ning Yechen took her from Luo Ruying with a smile on his face and hugged her dotingly while gently patting her back.

Seeing this, Luo Ruying smiled and reached out her hand to wipe Luo Hongye's mouth.

Tears glistened in Yue Qingyou’s eyes when she witnessed this scene from the side, and a proud smile emerged on her face.

What a warm and blissful sight!

She had waited a long time for this day. Now, she could finally see it!

Even if she died now, she would have no regrets!

She wished she could record the scene and project it in the Demon Realm to let everyone sing praises about it!

Luo Ruying noticed Yue Qingyou wiping her tears, so she asked in concern, “Miss Yue, what's the matter?”

“Madam, it’s nothing. I was just touched.”

“Touched?” Luo Ruying asked quizzically.

“That's right! Seeing how happy Young Master and you are, my heart was deeply moved. Thank you, Madam!” Yue Qingyou bowed to Luo Ruying.

If not for Luo Ruying, she did not think she could see the Demon Lord get married and have a child!

Luo Ruying was at a loss and turned to look at Ning Yechen.

Ning Yechen did not know what to do either. He did not know how to explain, so he replied simply, “Dear, don’t take it to heart. That's just her.”

Yue Qingyou had been rushing him to get married back when he was in the Demon Realm. This had gone on for decades.

Right now, she was probably very touched.

Yue Qingyou slowly walked over to Ning Yechen, and her usually cold eyes were full of love as she looked intently at Luo Hongye in his arms.

She was such an adorable princess!

She had undoubtedly inherited the Demon Lord’s fine genes!

In the future, she would go as far as the Demon Lord, maybe even further!

Yue Qingyou suppressed her urge to hold Luo Hongye. Instead, she said in an imploring tone, “Young Master, may I hold her?”

She looked intently at him, with her desire to hold Luo Hongye written all over her face.

Ning Yechen did not know how to reject her. “If you want to hold her, go ahead. Just don’t scare her.”

“You have my word. If she gets scared, I will pay with my life.” Yue Qingyou spoke in a calm tone as though she were speaking of something trivial.

“Well, you don’t have to go that far,” Ning Yechen said helplessly.

Luo Ruying was also at a loss.

She wanted to pay with her life for such a minor matter. Miss Yue was too serious!

Luo Hongye, lying in Ning Yechen’s arms, shyly looked at Yue Qingyou curiously.

Ning Yechen handed Luo Hongye to Yue Qingyou and said lovingly, “Don’t be afraid, Yeye. She's a good person, not a baddie.”

At first, Luo Hongye felt averse, and she reached her hands out to hold onto Ning Yechen.

She trusted her parents the most and never let others hold her.

Even when Qi Yuan wanted to hold her, she subconsciously resisted.

But with Ning Yechen's gentle coaxing, although Luo Hongye was still afraid, she looked obedient and did not struggle or cry as Yue Qingyou gently held her.

Yue Qingyou held Luo Hongye cautiously as incredible elation flooded her heart.

Her hands holding Luo Hongye trembled uncontrollably out of excitement.

She was holding the Demon Lord's child!

The Princess of the Demon Realm!

It was such an honor!

She decided! From now on, she was not going to wash her hands and these clothes!

“You look just like Young Master when he was a child. Sure enough, you are my dear princess,” Yue Qingyou praised with a loving look in her eyes.

Ning Yechen glanced at Yue Qingyou speechlessly and immediately interrupted, “Wake up. She's mine.”

If people from the Demon Realm saw this tender side of hers, no one would believe their eyes.

She looked nothing like the serious and merciless Demon Realm commander!

Yue Qingyou pretended not to hear Ning Yechen. Her eyes remained plastered on Luo Hongye, studying her from top to toe.

Merely by touch and sight, she could roughly guess Luo Hongye’s measurements.

Luo Hongye felt a little afraid when Yue Qingyou studied her. She asked timidly, “Big Sister, are you here to play with me too?”

“Big sister… It would be great if you called me grandma. Well, I suppose big sister works too!”

When Yue Qingyou heard the way Luo Hongye addressed her, she was briefly disappointed but soon accepted it.

“Have you forgotten the hierarchy? How could you change it at will?” Ning Yechen scolded powerlessly.

Luo Ruying, standing at the side, looked even more lost.

She could not understand what they were saying.

She seriously suspected that she had heard wrongly.

Grandma?

This meant that Yue Qingyou wanted to be Ning Yechen’s and Luo Ruying’s mother!

This sounded inappropriate coming out of a maid’s mouth.

“Erm…” Luo Ruying looked at Ning Yechen, wanting an explanation.

Ning Yechen did not know what to say, so he could only reply, “Don’t take it to heart. She always does this.”

How can I not take it to heart? Luo Ruying thought.

She found Yue Qingyou increasingly strange.

Yue Qingyou did not think there was anything amiss with what she just said. Instead, she patted her chest solemnly and answered Luo Hongye’s question, “From now on, I will protect you and your mother and serve you.”

At this moment, she declared her loyalty towards Luo Ruying, Luo Hongye, and the Demon Realm.
