Chapter 621: Hidden Secrets and Noodle Cravings
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Rong Qi couldn’t help but laugh as Ye Nanshen presented her with a cup of instant noodles, a sight so out of place in their elegant garden. “Really, Ye Nanshen? If Mrs. Hong catches us, she won’t stop lecturing.”
With a seriousness that contrasted with the simplicity of the snack, Ye Nanshen prepared the noodles. The sight of him carefully opening the seasoning packets was oddly endearing to Rong Qi.
“I know it’s not ideal, but I can’t stand to see you crave something and not have it. Just a small bite, okay? We need to be careful,” he said, his concern evident.
Rong Qi smiled, touched by his gesture. “One bite will be plenty.”
“I’ll be right back. If Mrs. Hong finds out, I’ll take the blame,” he said, walking away with a purpose.
As Ye Nanshen left, Rong Qi mused over his actions. His small acts of care, like indulging her cravings, filled her with warmth.
“Rong Qi,” a gentle voice interrupted her thoughts. Liang Silai stood there, with a polite but distant smile.
“May I sit?” Liang Silai asked.
Rong Qi nodded, indifferent. “If you wish.”
Liang Silai sat down, her gaze lingering on Rong Qi. “Both of you seem to share a deep bond.”
Rong Qi remained silent, unsure of Liang Silai’s intentions.
Liang Silai continued, “This place is vast, yet so empty. It must be lonely for our father.”
“Perhaps he enjoys solitude. Too many people can create chaos,” Rong Qi replied, trying to keep the conversation light.
Liang Silai sighed. “Yes, the noise of adults can be overwhelming. But the laughter of a child, that’s a different kind of noise.”
Rong Qi tensed slightly, instinctively touching her belly. She thought, ‘Did Liang Silai find out that I’m pregnant? I had kept it a closely guarded secret.’
Before she could delve deeper, Ye Nanshen returned, his expression slightly clouded as he noticed Liang Silai.
Just as Liang Silai was about to ask a question to bait Rong Qi, she caught a glimpse of Ye Nanshen, who was walking toward her.
Liang Silai immediately stood up and bid farewell to Rong Qi. “I should take my leave now. Enjoy your time with your husband. I’ll come and chat with you when I’m free in the future.”
Rong Qi nodded her head indistinctly, but her gaze was fixed on Ye Nanshen’s hand hidden behind his back. The smile on his lips deepened.
Liang Silai glanced at them and turned to leave. Her eyes were filled with helplessness and a sigh.
“Where are the noodles?” Rong Qi asked, trying to lighten the mood.
Ye Nanshen placed the steaming cup on the table, glancing at Liang Silai who was now leaving. “What did she want?”
“Nothing important. We don’t have much to talk about,” Rong Qi reassured him.
“Be careful around her and the rest of my uncle’s family. They’re not as simple as they seem.”
“I understand,” Rong Qi replied, her focus returning to the noodles. “Should be ready, right?”
Ye Nanshen chuckled, “Just a moment ago, you were so touched, and now it’s back to noodles?”
Rong Qi grinned. “Ouch! I am touched. My tears of gratitude are flowing right out of my mouth..”
