Starting Check-in Reward: Tomson Riviera

Chapter 324 - 301 Starry Sky Ceiling


Chapter 324: Chapter 301 Starry Sky Ceiling

Ye Ling quickly finished his bowl of shrimp congee, a pleasant warmth spreading through him. He checked his phone as he waited for Ning Ruoxi.

The little lass didn’t have a big appetite, but thankfully, the portion of shrimp congee wasn’t too large, so she just barely managed to finish it all.

"Are you full?" Ye Ling asked, seeing Ning Ruoxi put down her utensils.

"I’m full! So warm and comfortable!" Ning Ruoxi replied with a happy grin.

"Then how about we go out for a stroll?" Ye Ling suggested with a smile.

"Okay!"

Ning Ruoxi nodded obediently.

Ye Ling went to the counter to pay the bill, then took Ning Ruoxi’s hand and led her on a casual stroll through the streets of Modu.

The sky had already grown dark, and the glow of neon lights from the roadside filled the air with the bustling energy of a metropolis.

"Where are we going?" Ning Ruoxi asked, a little puzzled.

Even though it was dark, she could still recognize the route, and the path Ye Ling was leading her down wasn’t the way back to Tomson Riviera...

"Just a casual stroll," Ye Ling said with a slight smile, casually pulling the little lass into his arms and taking a deep breath of her hair.

"Stop messing around! We just ate, I probably smell like grease!" Ning Ruoxi said, playfully pushing him away.

"We just had congee. What grease?" Ye Ling huffed, ignoring her protest and once again burying his head in her hair to take a deep whiff.

Huh?

’This feels a lot like huffing a cat!’

’Looks like... Little Ning really has the potential to be a lap cat.’

"Where are we going... It’s getting a little cold," Ning Ruoxi muttered as they walked, shivering when a cold gust of wind blew past.

"We’re almost there," Ye Ling said with a small smile, leading Ning Ruoxi to a parking lot.

The lot was in a rather secluded spot, so there was only a single car parked there.

"What are we doing here?" Ning Ruoxi asked, confused.

Ye Ling gave a mysterious smile, led Ning Ruoxi to the lone car, and pulled the door open. "My lady, would you please get in?"

"You bought this?"

Ning Ruoxi asked, blinking her eyes.

"Mhm," Ye Ling said with a slight smile and a nod.

Upon hearing that, Ning Ruoxi settled into the passenger seat. Ye Ling went around to the driver’s side and got in as well.

"Stinker, when did you buy this car?" Ning Ruoxi asked, puzzled.

"At the auto show a little while ago," Ye Ling replied with a small smile.

"The auto show?" Ning Ruoxi paused, stunned.

"Look up at the ceiling," Ye Ling said, casually pressing a button.

"Huh?" Ning Ruoxi froze for a second. When she looked up, her eyes were immediately filled with the sight of a vast, purple galaxy.

Faint purple lights were arranged across the dark headliner, looking just like a celestial river of stars from the heavens above.

"This is..." A delighted, surprised expression spread across Ning Ruoxi’s face.

"It’s the constellation Scorpio," Ye Ling said with a small smile.

The corners of Ning Ruoxi’s lips couldn’t help but curve into a smile.

Scorpio?

’Isn’t that my constellation!’

"So? Do you like this little gift?" Ye Ling asked with a smile, pulling Ning Ruoxi into his embrace.

"I love it!"

Ning Ruoxi hugged Ye Ling back tightly, nodding obediently.

"Stinker."

Ning Ruoxi wrapped her arms around Ye Ling’s neck and murmured his name softly.

"Hm?"

Ye Ling raised an eyebrow, smiling as he looked at the little cat in his arms.

"I’m so glad I have you."

As she said this, Ning Ruoxi initiated a kiss.

A feature like a starlight headliner might be an unattainable luxury for an ordinary girl, but for Ning Ruoxi, it was nothing special.

With her family background, was a Rolls-Royce something she couldn’t afford?

What a joke!

The reason she was so moved wasn’t the starlight headliner itself, but the thought Ye Ling put into it—customizing it to show her own star sign...

Compared to money, genuine thoughtfulness was priceless—especially since she didn’t lack for money in the slightest.

Ye Ling held the little kitten in his arms tightly, only loosening his grip when she was starting to get breathless.

"Should we go home?" Ye Ling whispered, his lips close to Ning Ruoxi’s ear.

"Mhm!" Upon hearing him, Ning Ruoxi seemed to think of something. Her face flushed red as she lowered her head and obediently sat back properly in the passenger seat.

Seeing her docile appearance, Ye Ling couldn’t help but smile.

’The little lass is so cute when she’s shy!’

Driving the Cullinan, Ye Ling quickly returned to Tomson Riviera.

Although a vehicle like the Cullinan wasn’t as flashy as a sports car, it drove with incredible stability, giving off the feeling of a steel behemoth.

As a result, most other cars on the road "obediently" gave way to Ye Ling.

About ten minutes later, Ye Ling was back in the parking garage. He parked the Cullinan next to a Maybach, then promptly swept Ning Ruoxi up from the passenger seat into his arms.

"Ah!" Ning Ruoxi quickly threw her arms around Ye Ling’s neck, her face, burning hot, buried in his chest.

The little lass was clinging to Ye Ling like a koala. Thankfully, no one else was in the parking garage, or they would have been witness to a super sappy scene.

Ye Ling carried Ning Ruoxi into the elevator.

"Put me down... Yueyue is still home!"

But just as they were about to get off the elevator, Ning Ruoxi said with a crimson face.

"Alright then, I’ll spare you for now." Ye Ling didn’t continue to tease the little lass. ’Besides, my hands already got their fair share of benefits in the elevator...’

’Definitely not a loss!’

Ye Ling casually opened the door, and as soon as they walked in, they saw Luo Yue sitting in the living room.

"Sister Ruoruo, Master, you’re back!"

Luo Yue waved when she saw the two of them return.

Ning Ruoxi took a deep breath, silently congratulating herself.

’Good thing I was quick-witted and made him put me down. Otherwise, wouldn’t I have to endure that girl Luo Yue’s teasing for months on end?’

"Why aren’t you in bed? It’s so late," Ye Ling said, putting on a stern face.

"I’m an adult... Besides, it’s only a little past ten!" Luo Yue retorted.

"Be good and go to your room to sleep," Ye Ling said with a soft snort.

"Fine, I’m going to sleep! No need to be so mean." Luo Yue pouted, returning to her room with her laptop, a look of grievance on her face.

"Why are you teasing Yueyue again?"

Ning Ruoxi said, giving Ye Ling a light, exasperated swat.

"That girl is disobedient," Ye Ling huffed again, then wrapped his arm around Ning Ruoxi’s slender waist. "My dear wife, the hour is late. Is it not time for beddy-bye?"

’Beddy-bye?’

Ning Ruoxi felt her face darken with exasperation.

’For crying out loud.’

’You’re a nearly six-foot-tall man, what the hell are you doing using cutesy baby-talk?’

’Although...’

’It does kinda make my heart flutter, doesn’t it?’

Ning Ruoxi’s face turned beet red. She buried her head in Ye Ling’s chest, saying nothing.

"Hmph, hmph!" Ye Ling hummed in satisfaction and swept the little lass straight into his arms...
