I am on the Ark, a succubus, pure and innocent.

Bai Yue picked up a small spoon with a reserved gesture, her gaze falling on the crystal-clear pastry in the dish. The cherry blossoms floating inside looked as if they were in full bloom in the season, which was very beautiful.

Only after completing the 'look' step did he use the spoon, deftly scooping up a whole water mochi without disturbing the agar structure inside.

Bai Yue took a big gulp and swallowed the entire Mizu Shingen Mochi, feeling the agar burst in her mouth, the slightly refreshing sweetness, and the faint scent of cherry blossoms.

This taste... it doesn't even taste as good as the jelly you buy wholesale at the supermarket!

Although that's what he thought, Bai Yue wasn't that reckless. After a few bites, he looked at Wen Yue with a handsome smile on his face:

"It's delicious, Auntie, your cooking is excellent."

"Hehe, really? Then don't be shy, eat more if you like it."

Wen Yue smiled gently after watching Bai Yue's entire performance. Although she was born a princess, she had an untamed spirit in her blood and really liked his etiquette, which was precise yet personal.

"Xiaoyue, I heard you graduated from Baizhao Medical College at the age of fourteen?" Wenyue started the dinner table conversation.

Bai Yue put down her spoon, blinked and thought for a moment, then nodded and replied, "...Yes, fourteen years old, but she stayed at the school for a year to study in the college's affiliated hospital, and officially became qualified to practice medicine."

Wen Yue smiled with satisfaction: "That's really good. Why didn't you think of staying in Baizhao after graduation? There must be many opportunities there for you, right?"

"...this."

Bai Yue's eyes darted around. Could he say that he was escorted back by the family of that Qilin Senior Sister?

A genuine escort.

At that time, I was playing games with her in the room when suddenly a group of women burst in. I thought I was going to get beaten up for trying to seduce a rich girl.

But to my surprise... haha, they immediately tied up the senior and righteously told her things like "you're a pedophile... shameful... you've lost all face."

Then, with a righteous air, she stood in front of herself and told herself not to be afraid, that the laws of the Great Yan Dynasty were on her side, and gave her senior sister a stern warning.

Then they asked about my hometown, gave me travel expenses, and arranged for a镖局 (armed escort agency) to escort me back to Longmen...

Wen Yue noticed his slight embarrassment and asked in a slightly teasing tone, "Can't you say?"

Bai Yue shook her head: "There's nothing I can't say. It's a long story, but I'll keep it short. I was implicated by a senior student named Qilin, so I had no choice but to come back."

He wasn't lying; in terms of the outcome, that's indeed the case.

Wen Yue's eyes lit up when she heard the word "Qilin," and she immediately changed the subject: "I see... So how did you and Xiao Chen meet? After all, there's an age difference between you..."

"Madam Wenyue!" Chen Huijie said, her voice filled with shame and indignation.

Age is indeed a sore point for her. Although it may not be obvious from her appearance, it has certainly given Bai Yue a lot of gold bricks. She usually doesn't like to mention it!

Seeing that she was getting anxious, Wen Yue covered her mouth and chuckled: "What does it matter? Age is not an obstacle to feelings, don't you think, Xiao Yue?"

If I were an older man, you certainly wouldn't say that, right?

Bai Yue was secretly amused, but she smiled in agreement: "Yes, you're right. Chen Chen is so beautiful, so gentle and kind, and so considerate. She's also very serious about everything she does. I'll like her no matter what age she is."

Wen Yue's eyes showed even greater satisfaction. Yes, her niece was just that outstanding!

Chen Huijie's face was already bright red, no less so than after the kiss; she was practically rolling on the ground with her hands on her head.

Ugh, what a shameful public execution!

Oh God, just kill me!!!

Ignoring Chen Huijie's blushing expression, Wen Yue continued to ask curiously, "I heard that you and Xiao Chen have been living together for several years. When did it start?"

"Living together?" Bai Yue tilted her head: "Auntie, we're roommates."

Chen Huijie's eyes were practically dead, but she didn't stop it. Now that things had come to this, it didn't matter anymore. Anyway, this little devil was already in her grasp, and she wouldn't let him run away!

"Oh dear! You don't know? Xiao Chen bought that house a long time ago."

After saying that, Wen Yue covered her mouth, looking as if she had made a mistake, but the sly smile in her eyes betrayed her.

Bai Yue instantly realized, "Oh my god, the internet jokes from my past life have fallen on me?"

But he didn't pay much attention, only giving Chen Huijie a look that said, "Explain yourself when we get home," before looking at the mischievous woman in front of him and smiling helplessly.

"Auntie, let me tell you how we met."

Wen Yue smiled and nodded, becoming increasingly satisfied with him. He knew what was important, how to advance and retreat, and his emotions were handled perfectly, causing no discomfort but rather full of charm.

Just like...

Hmm...it's kind of like me and Lao Wei.

Thinking of this, Wen Yue almost couldn't help but laugh. Haha, this family is really something. They're good at everything, but they can't do anything about their partners. Is this some kind of genetic inheritance?

Bai Yue's voice, tinged with reminiscence, rang out:

"That happened more than half a year after I returned to Longmen. At that time, my traditional pharmacy had lost money, and I had a lot of medicinal herbs left over that I didn't know what to do with. So I thought I'd go to the slums to do free medical consultations, but my car was stolen, and I had nowhere to stay. It just so happened that I ran into..."

Wen Yue listened quietly, and felt that he had more and more excellent qualities, and her satisfaction with him was rising sharply.

What a good boy.

Although I heard from my husband that he was a bit of a womanizer, it wasn't really a big flaw. As long as my niece was the legal wife, what did it matter if he kept a few concubines?

She'd seen too many things like the emperor's harem and the wealthy family's inner quarters, and deep down she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

You can't possibly be smarter than our ancestors, can you?

Of course, Wei Yanwu is no good, otherwise I'd break his legs!

As for advising her niece to turn back from her misconduct and find a good, devoted husband... Wen Yue had no such thoughts.

She could see that her niece's affection for the little guy was almost overflowing, and forcibly severing this marriage would only lead her down the same path as her mother.

She didn't want to see that kind of thing again.

Let's just go with these two little ones. Sweetness comes first, and as for bitterness... well, we'll see when we taste it.

Chapter 49 Today's Victory or Defeat...

Swire opened her sleepy eyes and stared blankly at the unfamiliar ceiling above her.

Click——

The door was opened.

Chen Huijie pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing her in a daze, she stepped forward and waved her hand in front of her eyes: "Get up if you're awake. We're on duty today, so don't be late."

?

A question mark appeared on Swire's head. She immediately pushed her hand away and sat up, bewildered, "Chen, what are you doing here...?"

As she spoke, she realized what had happened last night, and her face contorted for a moment.

Chen Huijie took in her reaction and chuckled, "What, you remembered now, Miss Shi? It seems you still need to work on your drinking capacity."

"I've already said my surname isn't Shi!"

Swire scratched her head, her face showing some irritation, and said angrily, "You're just relying on your racial superiority, Chen, don't think you've won just like that!"

Chen Huijie waved her hand dismissively: "Whatever, get up quickly. There are disposable toothbrushes and water cups in the bathroom, just make do with them."

She turned and left the room, closing the door behind her.

"Ugh!"

Shi Huaiya pounded the blanket a few times with her fists. Damn it! Last night, she was embarrassed in front of Bai Yue by this bastard. Will he think she's unreliable?!

.........

The kitchen was filled with smoke.

Bai Yue rarely gets up early, and she was wearing an apron inside cooking glutinous rice balls.

Chen Huijie pushed open the movable glass door of the kitchen, lazily leaned against Bai Yue's back, and whispered softly, "What flavor of glutinous rice balls do you want?"

Bai Yue pushed the glutinous rice balls with a spoon and smiled, "Strawberry, mango, grape, kiwi... they're all fruit flavors, do you like them?"

Chen Huijie froze. What kind of devilish flavors were these? But could she say she didn't like them? No way!

Even if it makes you cry, you have to spoil your own little devil.

"Um...I like it, I like everything you make!"

Hearing her insincere tone, Bai Yue chuckled: "Just kidding. It's black sesame filling. I specially prepared the filling, adding some chopped walnuts and dried tangerine peel powder, so it's not greasy."

Chen Huijie breathed a sigh of relief.

Just like the Syracuseans can't stand 'traditional Syracuse dishes' like marmalade pasta, chocolate sauce noodles, or pineapple pizza.

She utterly despises all kinds of "modified dishes," such as strawberry mapo tofu, mango stewed pork ribs, and fruit glutinous rice balls. The taste of these dishes isn't exactly strange, but the mere smell makes you want to vomit!

As for how she knew...

Chen Huijie tilted her head and looked at that serious face, then smiled helplessly. Ever since this little devil started learning to cook, she had eaten her fair share of these 'culinary disasters'.

"Alright, stop lingering here. It's cooked already. Go get a bowl to serve it."

Bai Yue shrugged and naturally began to order around Miss Dragon Girl.

"Okay." Chen Huijie obediently let go of her hand, squatted down, opened the cupboard, and took out two...three porcelain bowls.

Bai Yue took it and scooped up the glutinous rice balls.

Swire stood in the restaurant and watched the whole heartwarming scene unfold without any emotional reaction; in fact, she felt a little amused.

Who knows how this little guy will treat this dragon girl? Yesterday, when we were in the villa, hehe... just thinking about it makes me feel like my blond hair wasn't wasted.

Chen, if you don't keep a close eye on him, don't blame me for eating him!

Chen Huijie came out of the kitchen carrying two bowls. Seeing her lost in thought, she put down the bowls and snapped her fingers:

"Hey! What are you thinking about? Time to eat tangyuan (sweet rice balls)."

"what?"

Swire abruptly snapped out of her reverie and hurriedly replied, "I...I know!"

......

The dinner table.

The three of them quietly put the glutinous rice balls into their mouths, making almost no sound.

Chen Huijie glanced at Swire and cursed her bad luck. If Swire hadn't been here, she would have already... cough cough, why is the atmosphere so awkward!

As if on the same wavelength, Swire looked up at the same time, glancing at her.

Their eyes met.

Fragments of sparks filled the air; war seemed imminent!

Swire was the first to look away, but not because she had become obedient, but simply...

She fiddled with the last glutinous rice ball in her bowl, feigning distress, and said, "Oh dear, I'm full. What am I going to do with this one?"

!

Chen Huijie looked up alertly. "No, Chashao Cat, what do you want to do?"

But Swire was faster. She scooped up some glutinous rice balls, stood up, and placed them on the table. Looking at Bai Yue with a sly smile, she reached out and held the spoon to his lips.

"Why don't you eat it for me? That way, it won't go to waste."

The moment the words were spoken, the air seemed to freeze.

The spoon handle that Chen Huijie was holding made an unsettling squeaking sound, as if it would break at any moment.

Bai Yue tilted her head slightly, glanced at the few glutinous rice balls left at the bottom of her bowl, and instantly came up with a solution, nodding gently:

"Okay, let's not waste it."

He first gave Chen Huijie a reassuring look, then opened his mouth and took the soup spoon that Shi Huaiya handed him, swallowing the glutinous rice ball without much effort.

Swire revealed a satisfied smile and gave Chen Huijie a very provocative look.

Chen Huijie kept a straight face, barely suppressing the urge to punch her. The look in her eyes when she looked at Bai Yue was one of utter grievance. Even if I spoil you, you can't act like this in front of me.

Are you trying to trick me into thinking I'm from Dongguo?!

Bai Yue calmly wiped her mouth and gave her a playful smile: "Chen Chen, can I taste the glutinous rice balls in your bowl?"

Chen Huijie was taken aback, and most of the grievances in her heart instantly disappeared. She nodded demurely.

"okay."
