Chapter 1715 - Little Rice Returns (2)”

Di Xiao Wan could be silly and slow at times, but she would never mistaken those who are nice and kind to herself. She’s of pure heart, not a fool.

“Then I am relieved,” Bai Xiachen exhales a long sigh. Reaching out to give his auntie a hug, “Let’s hurry back home, Mother told me she’s making food for us and is waiting. It’s been so long since I ate Mother’s cooking so I can’t wait.”

Charmed by how gluttonous the steambun was behaving, Di Xiao Wan wipes away the thin layer of fluid from her eye and chuckled: “Okay, let’s head home before the food gets cold.”

But before leaving, the demon princess didn’t forget to give a fleeting glance back towards the ice tomb where her eyes surged with conviction.

State Teacher, no matter where you are I will find you even if it takes me to the end of the world. I won’t abandon our relationship!

……

In the main dining hall of the demon palace, a table has been placed with plenty of dishes that left the room filled with delectable aromas. It’s enough to make the unaware drooling all the way out the door.

Jin Tian the little glutton got hit the hardest here in this case. He’s always been fond of eating so his ability to hold back was the weakest. However, thanks to his twin sister’s wary gaze and repeated slapping, the boy couldn’t reach his hand out and grab what he wanted.

“Jin Tian, you mustn’t eat yet, we need to wait for Auntie and Big Brother first.”

The words weren’t meant as a threat, but it only made the baby boy all the more aggrieved and sadder. How could he not be sad? There’s a table of food prepared by his mother before his very eye that’s radiating aromas that could drive any child screaming and crying if not eaten.

“That…. I’ll wait for Auntie and Big Brother to come back then…”

Mother said Auntie is in a poor mood lately, I must be good, I mustn’t make Mother sad. It’s just some food, I can hold it in, I’m a man!

With that thought in mind, the little glutton gulped and heavily forced the saliva back down into his throat. He’s resisting well against his greatest desire.

“Mother, Auntie and I are back!” It’s then when Dragony had finished carrying the latest dish out, a tender voice called out and caught their ears.

Jin Tian reacted very strongly to this and nearly rolled off his own stool. Big Brother and Auntie is back, does that mean I can start eating?

“Auntie,” the twin sister on the other hand stood up and gave a loud reply instead.

Although the little glutton was a bit duller than his twin, it doesn’t mean he couldn’t act responsibly when required: “Auntie, come eat.”

Against the double soft cuddly assault of these two, DI Xaio Wan’s heart melted away and found peace. A rare thing in these past few days since State Teacher’s death.

“You don’t have to wait for me in the future you know.”

“No,” Ling Yan shook her head immediately, “Mother taught us to respect our elders. Father is too busy to be around to accompany us, but Auntie is here. Me and Jin Tian will wait, we are not hungry.”

Gulping at that last word, the little glutton suppresses his desire and followed up: “That’s right Auntie, we are not hungry so hurry and come eat with us.”

Coincidentally, Bai Yan had also come out from the kitchen with the soup ready. If not for Di Xiao Wan’s poor mood, she would not personally cook anything herself. As a result, Bai Xiachen hadn’t been able to eat his mother’s cooking for a long time.
