The Eunuch is Pregnant

Chapter 175: On the boat

All the decorated pleasure boats were exquisitely decorated. There were rows of red lanterns surrounding the exterior of the boat. The moment night arrived, they emitted red rays of lights.

The reflections of the red lanterns in the water made the evening more enchanting.

Since Dongfang Bai had ordered Xiao Tang to rent a decorated pleasure boat in advance, by the time the group had arrived, the boat owner was already waiting for them. The boat owner had a friendly and professional smile on his face. He enthusiastically welcomed the group on board.

After the boat owner led them onto the deck, he promptly brought the group lots of dishes and wine. Then, he retreated.

At this time, Le Yao Yao had arranged all the snacks on the table. Then, after the nobles and Dongfang Bai were seated, she knew her place and stood behind Leng Jun Yu.

After all, she was a servant. It had never occurred to her to sit alongside with them as they ate and admired the scenery.

However, she was already starting to get hungry. In addition, there were plenty of dishes in front of her that made her want to drool.

Her stomach couldn’t help but rumble. But Le Yao Yao gritted her teeth and gulped down her saliva. She had to wait until they were all finished before she could eat her share.

Unexpectedly, while Le Yao Yao was thinking of this, Leng Jun Yu’s low voice suddenly entered her ears, “It’s not often that we come out. No need to be so reserved. Sit down and eat as well.”

“Eh?!”

Both Le Yao Yao and Nian Sulan were shocked. After hearing Leng Jun Yu’s proposal, Nian Sulan gazed at Le Yao Yao.

She assumed Leng Jun Yu was giving Le Yao Yao special treatment because he really valued Le Yao Yao. After all, despite how cold Leng Jun Yu may be on the outside, he treated his subordinates very well.

Since Leng Jun Yu valued Le Yao Yao so much, Nian Sulan’s eyes flickered and she immediately gave Le Yao Yao a brillant smile. She sounded very warm, “Little brother, you’ve been walking all day. Sit down and take a rest!”

“Eh? Thank you.”

Le Yao Yao wasn’t used to Nian Sulan treating her so nicely. After all, for the entire day, Nian Sulan only stuck by the King of Hell’s side. She never truly looked or paid any attention at her. So, Le Yao Yao thought her sudden change of behaviour was rather abnormal.

However, Le Yao Yao didn’t refuse her offer because although she was a servant, she wasn’t made out of metal. She was definitely exhausted from all the walking.

Furthermore, it wasn’t the first time she had sat and ate with the guys. So thinking of this, Le Yao Yao took a seat.

Right now, Dongfang Bai was sitting on her left while Nangong Jun Xi was sitting on her right. Leng Jun Yu and Nian Sulan were sitting across from her.

The table was the perfect size for the five of them.

“Brother Yao, you must be hungry. Have some dishes.” Dongfang Bai picked up the jade chopsticks and placed a piece of crispy fried chicken in Le Yao Yao’s bowl.

Le Yao Yao immediately gave Dongfang Bai an appreciative smile. “Thank you, brother Bai!”

“Haha, you’re welcome. Eat!” Dongfang Bai gently smiled.

So, Le Yao Yao was no longer reserved as she picked up her chopsticks and began to eat.

However, while she was chewing on her crispy chicken, Nian Sulan made a comment, “Ohhh wow! Physician Dongfang and little brother have such a great relationship!”

“Eh?” Le Yao Yao raised her head as she smiled and agreed, “Yes! Brother Bai is a great person. He takes extremely good care of me!”

Le Yao Yao was telling the truth. Plus, she was the type of person who would reciprocate the kindness people showed towards her.

Surprisingly, Nangong Jun Xi’s face turned gloomy as he snapped, “You have no heart! Is Bai the only one who treats you well? Doesn’t this Prince treat you well?!”

Le Yao Yao didn’t respond to Nangong Jun Xi’s bitter comment. After all, Dongfang Bai had always demonstrated his care towards her through his actions. However, the 7th Prince had never done anything except bully her.

She couldn’t agree with him, so Le Yao Yao remained silent and just continued to stuff her tummy.

Since Le Yao Yao was ignoring him, Nangong Jun Xi was super annoyed. But he couldn’t do anything about it aside from drinking his sorrows away.

As for Leng Jun Yu, he hadn’t said a single word since they had entered the boat. He was only drinking silently.

Leng Jun Yu’s long eyelashes were hiding his cold pupils. No one could see his inner thoughts.

Nian Sulan’s brows furrowed when she saw Leng Jun Yu drinking cup after cup. He wasn’t eating any of the food at all. So now, her face was filled with concern, “Cousin Yu, alcohol is bad for the body. Please stop drinking and eat some food to soak up the alcohol. What if your body is negatively affected by the alcohol?”

Everyone could tell Nian Sulan deeply cared for Leng Jun Yu. However, Leng Jun Yu didn’t seem to care; either he wasn’t aware or it didn’t matter to him. His five facial features remained frozen.

Leng Jun Yu had his hand around his cup regardless of how Nian Sulan tried to nag and persuade him. Just as he was about to drink another cup, Nian Sulan placed her hand over his to stop him.

“Cousin Yu, you’re not allowed to drink anymore. If you continue drinking, I will not comply to you…”

Nian Sulan’s voice was so sweet that it had the ability to turn other people’s bones limp.

Since Leng Jun Yu didn’t say a word, Nangong Jun Xi chirped in. “Yo, senior bro! Your luck with women is so good! Your junior bro is envious!”

However, Leng Jun Yu didn’t respond well towards Nangong Jun Xi’s teasing. His eyes were on the hand that was on top of his. He frowned.

Nian Sulan didn’t notice. Because after she heard Nangong Jun Xi’s comment, she instantly blushed and lowered her face. Currently, her face was red like a blooming rose. Sadly, her lovely face had no effect on Leng Jun Yu at all.

As for Le Yao Yao, when she saw Nian Sulan’s hand on top of Leng Jun Yu’s, her heart felt like it was being stuffed with a cotton.

Instantly, the food in front of her became tasteless and a layer of sadness crossed her face. She wasn’t aware of this change though.

But Dongfang Bai noticed it right away. His handsome face paused and he was deep thought as he gazed at Le Yao Yao..

After three rounds of drinks, the dishes were nearly finished.

At this time, Le Yao Yao suddenly remembered her stinky tofu.

Initially, she was going to eat the stinky tofu after she returned back to the residence. But thinking about it, she decided it was best to eat while it was still warm. It wouldn’t taste good when it’s cold. So, Le Yao Yao brought the paper bag over and opened it.

The moment she opened the paper bag, the smell instantaneously filled the deck and everyone frowned. Nian Sulan used her handkerchief to cover her nose and she looked disgusted.

Nangong Jun Xi couldn’t stand it and yelped, “Yo, Xiao Zhu Zi, that stinky tofu is really stinky!!!!!”

“If stinky tofu isn’t stinky, then why would it be called stinky tofu?!” Le Yao Yao refuted as she rolled her eyes at him.

Hearing this, Nangong Jun Xi’s mouth twitched and he didn’t say anything else.

However, Dongfang Bai began to analyze the golden stinky tofu in front of him. There were a lot of hot peppers and chopped onions on top of it. Although it was very stinky, after smelling it for awhile, it wasn’t as disgusting as he initially thought.

So, he asked Le Yao Yao, “How’s the taste?”

“Hehe. Brother Bai, would you like to try? Stinky tofu smells really bad but it is actually very savory.”

Le Yao Yao used the chopsticks and picked up a piece of tofu. Then she placed it inside her mouth and ate it as if it was the most delicious food she had ever eaten in her life.

Dongfang Bai was too curious and also picked up a piece with his chopsticks.

However, he didn’t eat it right away. First, he sniffed it as he frowned. Then, before he made any other gestures, Nangong Jun Xi yelled.

“Bai, are you really going to eat it? What if you get a stomachache?”

If Le Yao Yao wasn’t the person who bought it, he would have thrown it off the boat long ago!

Since Nangong Jun Xi was freaking out, Le Yao Yao couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him again.

This man is ridiculous. It’s just a piece of tofu; not poison! Is it worth panicking over? What a loser!

But, she turned towards Dongfang Bai and gave him a brilliant smile, “Brother Bai! Give it a try. I’m not lying to you! Stinky tofu is very delicious!”

“Alright, I’ll try it.”

Then, Dongfang Bai put the stinky tofu in his mouth.

Now, Nangong Jun Xi’s peach blossom eyes were bulging. He was also very curious.

“Bai, how’s the taste?”

“Haha, it’s actually quite delicious!”

“I told you so! My recommendations are never wrong!”

Then, Le Yao Yao picked up another piece of tofu and was about to stuff it in her mouth.

Unexpectedly, just as she picked it up, someone else rushed in and ate it first.

“Hey! Get your own piece!”

Nangong Jun Xi was the one who ate from her chopsticks. Le Yao Yao was mad.

Damn that man! Wasn’t he disgusted a moment ago? Why is he fighting over her food now? Ugh! Guys are so unpredictable!

Nangong Jun Xi chewed on the stinky tofu as he proudly smiled at Le Yao Yao’s frustrated face.

“Hey, Bai’s right! It actually tastes pretty good!”

Then, Nangong Jun Xi turned towards the silent Leng Jun Yu, “Senior brother, do you want to give it a try? Although this stinky tofu is no exotic dish, it’s actually quite savory.”

“Prince Rui would never eat such a thing!” Nian Sulan exclaimed.
