Chapter 1637 I'll listen to you
Chapter 1637 I'll listen to you
In the human realm, in Tianhai City, inside Leng Xi's villa.
In stark contrast to the tense atmosphere in front of the Lingyu Mountain gate, this place is filled with warm, bright lights and the enticing aroma of food.
Mingchuan, wearing a slightly incongruous pink apron, was skillfully tossing a wok in the open kitchen, flames leaping up, enveloping the ingredients, and making a pleasant sizzling sound.
His movements were fluid and graceful, carrying a composure similar to when he controlled the laws of space, except that this time he was wielding the power of human life.
The three people outside the kitchen felt a warm glow in their hearts when they saw him like this.
After all, during the time Mingchuan was away, they all felt as if something was missing.
This time, Mingchuan didn't rush back just to complete the task; he was happy to serve everyone.
Who wouldn't feel warmth in their heart?
The temperature in the entire villa seemed to have risen considerably.
"The sweet and sour pork ribs will be ready soon, can someone get me a plate?" Mingchuan called out without turning his head.
"I'll do it, I'll do it!" Dong Chuyan responded softly, walking over with light steps.
She handed him the clean bone china plate, her gaze lingering tenderly on Mingchuan's focused profile, her eyes filled with affection.
Ran Qianqian sat cross-legged on the soft carpet in the living room, with a pile of snacks in front of her. She was munching on potato chips while yelling towards the kitchen.
"Mingchuan! Make sure to add extra chili to my spicy diced chicken! Don't forget! Xiaoxi prefers milder flavors, so serve her a separate portion at the end!"
Leng Xi held a glass of warm water, leaned against the kitchen door frame, and watched the noisy yet heartwarming scene before her.
Her cool and aloof features appeared exceptionally gentle under the warm lighting, and a faint smile played at the corners of her lips.
This feeling of being cared for and needed, so full of life, is as precious to her as a dream.
"I know, you'll get your share." Mingchuan replied with a smile, his hands continuing to work.
Soon, several delicious and visually appealing home-style dishes were laid out on the table.
The four sat together, abandoning the rule of not speaking while eating, and the table was filled with laughter and joy.
Ran Qianqian chattered on about the interesting things happening at the distillery, while Dong Chuyan occasionally added a few gentle words.
Although Leng Xi didn't talk much, she would nod slightly at key points or chuckle at Ran Qianqian's exaggerated descriptions.
Mingchuan looked at them, his heart filled with a great sense of satisfaction.
This is the peace he desperately wanted to protect.
During this time, even though he was not in the human realm, his three wives had already helped him expand his business overseas.
Nowadays, they no longer care about any material possessions.
Dinner ended in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.
Just as Mingchuan was about to get up to clear the dishes, Dong Chuyan gently pressed his hand down.
"You're cooking today, so we'll take care of the dishes," she said softly, her eyes filled with an undeniable tenderness.
Ran Qianqian immediately jumped up and began to collect the plates with nimble movements.
"That's right, that's right, the chef should take a break! We'll handle these little things!"
Although Leng Xi didn't say anything, she silently picked up a rag and began wiping the dining table.
Mingchuan felt a warm glow inside as he watched them work together seamlessly and cooperate perfectly. He readily agreed and sat back down in his chair, enjoying this rare "master" treatment.
He leaned back in his chair, his gaze following their slender figures as they busied themselves between the kitchen and the dining room, feeling that nothing could be more peaceful and serene than this.
After tidying up, the four of them nestled in the large, comfortable sofa in the living room.
Ran Qianqian, like a lazy cat, unceremoniously rested her head on Mingchuan's lap, randomly switching TV programs with the remote control.
Dong Chuyan sat quietly on the other side of Mingchuan, peeling an apple. After peeling it, she carefully cut it into small pieces, stuck toothpicks in them, handed one piece to Mingchuan first, and then shared it with Leng Xi and Ran Qianqian.
Leng Xi took the apple, thanked him, and remained sitting upright, but subtly moved closer to Ming Chuan, clearly feeling the warmth from his arm.
"Hey, Mingchuan, look at this!" Ran Qianqian suddenly pointed at the TV screen and exclaimed. A period fantasy drama was playing on it. "The special effects are so fake! How can there be such a handsome immortal as you? If they saw you flying on a sword... oh no, I mean flying through the air, they would definitely feel ashamed of themselves!"
Mingchuan chuckled and pinched her nose: "How can you compare them like that?"
Dong Chuyan covered her mouth and chuckled, "What Qianqian said is not wrong."
Leng Xi looked at the actors on TV who were "flying and leaping," then turned her head to look at the man beside her who truly possessed the power to move mountains and overturn seas. A faint smile and pride flashed in her clear, cold eyes.
As night deepened, the city lights outside the window resembled scattered stars.
"I'm sleepy..." Ran Qianqian yawned, snuggled against Mingchuan's lap, and mumbled sleepily, "I want to sleep in the middle tonight..."
Dong Chuyan's cheeks flushed slightly as she whispered, "Qianqian, there are so many rooms in the villa, don't you know how to be shy?"
"I don't care!" Ran Qianqian closed her eyes and hugged Mingchuan's waist tightly in a spoiled manner. "He's finally back, so we have to sleep together! Xiaoxi, Chuyan, don't you agree?"
Upon hearing this, Leng Xi's ears turned slightly red, but she did not object. Instead, she picked up her water glass and took a sip to conceal her subtle expression.
Dong Chuyan's neck was even flushed pink, and she lowered her head, her voice barely audible.
"I...I'm fine with anything..."
Goodness, have they become this bold now?
It seems that Mingchuan has indeed been away for too long.
For a moment, Mingchuan felt a pang of guilt.
He looked at Ran Qianqian, who was already a little sleepy in his arms, and couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke her hair a few times, as if he were comforting his own cat.
Looking at Leng Xi and Dong Chuyan beside him, who were shy but hadn't left, he felt his heart filled with immense happiness and satisfaction.
"Okay," he replied softly, his voice so gentle it could melt water. "Of course I'll listen to you today. Do whatever you want."
Ran Qianqian, who was already feeling a bit sleepy, immediately lifted her head upon hearing his words, her eyes filled with a tempting, watery mist.
"Really? You said it yourself, you can do whatever you want..."
Mingchuan paused for a moment, then suddenly had a bad feeling.
The next moment, Ran Qianqian showered him with kisses!
I go!
Mingchuan couldn't help but widen his eyes!
This girl is as bold as ever, actually doing this in a place like this!
However, Mingchuan, who also missed them terribly, could not bear it any longer and hugged Ran Qianqian back.
A light drizzle began to fall outside the window, the pitter-patter of the raindrops seeming to be perfectly in sync with them.
There was a slight chill outside the door, but the room was warm and cozy.
Completely without stopping...
