Chapter 215 -215: I Was Not Good-looking When I Was Young

The servant responded and hurried off to the kitchen to get busy.

After Madam Ye called out, she affectionately took Ye Chuyi into the living room. She smiled at Ye Zhengrong and said, “This child was craving the soup made by Mama Liu, so she specially came back to have some today.”

Ye Zhengrong glanced at Ye Chuyi and called to the butler, “The night-blooming cereus I planted should bloom tonight. Go check on them and pick all the flowers for Xiaoyi to make soup.”

The butler responded promptly and trotted off to pick the night-blooming cereus that Ye Zhengrong treasured most.

Ye Chuyi had never had soup made with night-blooming cereus, nor did she know it could be used for soup. However, she knew about night-blooming cereus, and the ones planted by Ye Zhengrong were surely not ordinary. Were they all being picked for her to make soup?

The Ye couple were acting more serious than she ever did.

She didn’t speak anymore, just sat quietly beside Madam Ye, playing the role of a good daughter, listening to their idle chatter.

After a while, the butler brought back the night-blooming cereus. He showed them to Ye Chuyi, “Miss, look, they’re all the freshest.”

Ye Chuyi picked up a flower. It was still blooming. Ye Zhengrong didn’t even appreciate the flowers and was willing to use them to make her soup. Truly fitting of the second master of the Ye family, very much in the style of wealthy families.

She put the flower back, “Go make the soup.”

She was curious to taste what soup made from night-blooming cereus was like.

The kitchen soon wafted with fragrances, and the dishes were served one by one at the dining table.

Madam Ye and Ye Zhengrong had already eaten their dinner. She, linking arms with her husband, said smilingly, “You two go ahead and eat. We’re going for a walk. By the time we come back, you’ll probably be done eating.”

Ye Chuyi guessed she wanted to take the opportunity to discuss Shi Youjin with Ye Zhengrong, so she nodded, “Mhm, okay.”

After they left, Ye Chuyi turned to Sheng Tingyuan, “Let’s go, it’s time to eat.”

The two of them went together to the dining room and sat down to eat dinner.

In front of her and Sheng Tingyuan, each had a bowl of night-blooming cereus soup. What surprised Ye Chuyi was that the soup also contained wolfberries and red dates, which she liked.

Was it a coincidence?

Or did Madam Ye find out even this small preference of hers?

Ye Chuyi pondered as she bowed her head and started drinking.

The taste was unexpectedly delicious, soft and tender. After one sip, the lingering fragrance of the night-blooming cereus remained between her lips and teeth, greatly reducing her fatigue from the day.

Sheng Tingyuan also took a sip, “It’s quite unique. Do you like drinking this?”

Ye Chuyi nodded, “Like.”

Seeing that she quickly finished a bowl, Sheng Tingyuan took her bowl and served her another.

After dinner, they went to take showers separately.

Madam Ye had already returned from her walk. She brought Ye Chuyi a set of pajamas and instructed a servant to bring a new set that her son had never worn to Sheng Tingyuan.

Only after taking a shower did Ye Chuyi realize a problem: she was now at the Ye family’s home and couldn’t sleep in separate rooms with Sheng Tingyuan.

Indeed, not long after, Sheng Tingyuan had finished his shower and came to her room.

Originally, she thought the bedroom Madam Ye prepared for her was quite large, but once Sheng Tingyuan entered, the room suddenly felt a bit cramped. No matter what she did, Sheng Tingyuan was always by her side, which made her somewhat uncomfortable.

On the other hand, Sheng Tingyuan was as at ease in her bedroom as if he was in his own. He didn’t treat himself as an outsider at all and even used her moisturizer and face cream.

Ye Chuyi watched him apply skincare products in astonishment, “I thought you didn’t use these.”

“I don’t usually, but I was a bit curious about your cosmetics, so I tried them.”

Actually, it was because he always felt that there was a subtle, pleasant fragrance on her. Even though they used the same shower gel and shampoo, the scent on her was different.

So, he suspected it might be from the moisturizer.

But after using it, he realized it wasn’t related to the cosmetics either.

Sheng Tingyuan looked around her room, then asked her, “Why are there no photos from your childhood in your room?”

Ye Chuyi really wanted to say it was because she was an impostor.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t say that.

“I wasn’t good-looking as a child.”

Sheng Tingyuan shook his head, not believing her, but he didn’t ask further and lay down on the bed.

Seeing Ye Chuyi still sitting on the sofa, he didn’t hurry her, instead closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
