The food was set on the table. Despite its lack, it felt homey.

“There’s not much food, I hope you like it.” Ye Xue said.

“That’s not really a problem, the important thing is that someone is eating with me. My mother never ate meals with me.” Yu Qing replied.

“You’re missing your mother again, huh?”

Yu Qing nodded.

“If you don’t mind, you can think of me as your mother.” Ye Xue suggested.

“Can I really do that?”

“Of course, as long as you’re comfortable with it, considering me as your foster mother is also fine.”

Yu Qing chuckled slightly, “I like this feeling. Back in the Demon Palace, I usually had meals alone. My father rarely came back and even when he did, there were hardly any chances for him to join me for a meal.”

“Really?”

“Mhm, so I mostly ate alone. Though, I always wished someone would accompany me, even if the meal was simple, I wouldn’t mind.” Qing’er felt warmth washing over her.

Ye Xue laughed softly upon hearing this.

“Should we wait for Ye Chen to come back and eat together?”

“No need, he will come back when he’s hungry, he knows when his stomach grumbles.”

Yu Qing nodded in agreement.

“The last thing you should do with such a person is spoil them. If you spoil them today, you would have to keep doing it tomorrow.”

“You’re absolutely right.”

Ye Xue laughed and said, “Actually, I am also terrified of eating alone. A meal is more lively and tasty with more people around.”

Yu Qing nodded, feeling an even stronger bond.

Ye Chen was leisurely strolling towards Pear Blossom Garden, bemused hearing the laughter from the courtyard. He wondered if he had accidentally entered the wrong yard. After confirming the name on the gate plaque, he continued on his way.

Who on earth was his mother talking to, it sounded like a young girl.

Turning the corner, he spotted the two already having their meal.

Upon getting a clear look, he wondered, “How did she get here?”

Ye Chen started off with, “Well, well, if I hadn’t known better, I’d have thought my mother secretly brought me a young bride.”

Yu Qing quickly turned her head only to see Ye Chen had already quietly entered.

Hearing this, Ye Xue said, “If he were to marry someone beautiful and obedient like you, I would be at ease.”

“Hey, what are you talking about, Mom? You just met her and you are already saying she is obedient. Don’t be fooled, she’s full of tricks. Once he’s married, he’ll forget you, then you’ll regret it.” Ye Chen approached, they had already started eating.

Yu Qing clenched her fists.

Ye Chen continued, “You’re underestimating me. Obedient and beautiful wives are not a big deal for me, it’s just that I haven’t made a move.”

Ye Xue said, “My son is full of hot air.”

“Mhm, I know, I have learned it.” Yu Qing said.

Ye Chen laughed and asked, “What brought you here for dinner? Did you try to steal a man and got kicked out?”

Yu Qing was so frustrated that she couldn’t find the words to reply, if it weren’t for Ye Xue, she would have already exploded.

“She came over to thank you and even brought some food.” Ye Xue said.

“Thank? That’s long done with. I bet she wants to gift herself to me!” Ye Chen joined in.

Qing’er pouted, “Can’t I come to see your mother?”

“See my mother? I bet you just met my mother.”

“Your mom told me that if I could, I should consider her as my foster mother.”

“Heh, I disagree with that.”

“Why should we need your approval for our decision?”

“But I am her son.”

“You may be her son, but your mother is also free. She has the right to consider me as her daughter.”

“I really don’t want a sister as big as you.” Ye Chen retorted.

Ye Xue added, “Well, why don’t we settle this matter before dinner?”

“I’ll just eat.” Ye Chen picked up his chopsticks.

Yu Qing commented, “The food tastes so good, it tastes like home.”

Ye Chen interjected, “Huh… What ‘tastes so good’? It’s just like the food you have, it’s brought from the kitchen, it’s not made by her, how can it be any different!”

“It’s delicious, there’s no denying that!” Yu Qing replied.

Ye Chen continued eating.

Ye Xue said, “If you like it, you’re welcome to come for dinner anytime.”

“Absolutely.” Qing’er immediately agreed.

“How is the food here better than the lavish spread at Jingyue Pavilion?”

Hearing this, Ye Xue said, “You find that the food here is not lavish enough!”

“No, mom, that’s not what I mean. What I mean is, we are a humble family, we can’t afford to cater to her high status.”

Yu Qing continued to eat as if she was really enjoying the food, seemingly on purpose.

Ye Chen wondered, how did this girl end up here alone in this courtyard? Wasn’t she worried about being misunderstood?

If Zhan Ze saw her, he truly wouldn’t know how to explain it.

“Mom, please, don’t take her as your goddaughter, she will cling onto you.”

“It’s okay, I usually get bored at home and you don’t keep me company. It would be nice to have someone to talk to.”

“Then I’ll come back to keep you company.”

After hearing this, Ye Xue scoffed, “When have you ever come back to keep me company? It would be nice if you didn’t drag me around like the boy with the lost sheep.”

Hearing this, Yu Qing chuckled.

Ye Chen continued, “I’ll hurry up and get a wife to keep you company.”

“Now, that’s a good idea.”

“Isn’t it? Thank you,” Qing’er, completely unembarrassed, said.

“Hey, a wife delivered right to your doorstep.”

Yu Qing continued eating and ignoring him. Ye Chen said, “Mom, you might not know, but this girl is already promised to someone else. So don’t even bother. Let your son live peacefully. Otherwise, one day your son will get killed, and you won’t know why.”

On hearing this, Yu Qing clenched her fists.

“I’m serious,” said Ye Chen.

“She’s engaged so quickly? The family must be wealthy,” Ye Xue casually said.

“It’s not just that, they’re too powerful for us to handle. If you want to live a peaceful and enjoyable life here, listen to me. I won’t steer you wrong.”

“Don’t listen to his nonsense, I’m not engaged,” quipped Qing’er.

“It’s almost the same. They are a powerful family, not someone us common folk can mess with.”

“Hey, it’s none of my business. You two enjoy your meal. Once you’re done, leave the dishes here. Someone will take care of them later.” Ye Xue had finished eating, put down her chopsticks, and left.

Now Ye Chen and Yu Qing were the only ones left.

Ye Chen whispered, “You should be having dinner with Su Zhanze, not here with us, you know!”

“Why do I feel so disgusted by you? You told your mother everything about me, even after promising to keep it a secret. I can’t believe I actually trusted you,” retorted Guo Yuqing.

Ye Chen thought for a moment, and chuckled softly.

“I figured you would actually keep it a secret.”

“Hey, you barely have any secrets left. There’s hardly anyone in Immortal City who doesn’t know,” replied Ye Chen.

A pair of chopsticks were swung at him.

“Don’t wave the chopsticks, it’s not civilized. Mind your manners, huh.”

“Your mouth, always spouting off.”

“Hey, a friend of such high-status is worth mentioning, you know.”

Yu Qing snorted loudly.

Ye Chen continued eating quietly.

Unbeknownst to them, another thirty minutes had passed.

Ye Chen said, “Alright, I’m full. Have you, Miss, had your fill yet?”

Yu Qing also put down her chopsticks.

“I’ll take you home.” Ye Chen stood up.

Yu Qing turned around and called, “Godmother, I’ll come to see you next time.”

Ye Xue replied, and the two had already left the courtyard.

“You really intend to take my mom as your godmother.”

“So what if I do! I grew up without a mom. My biological mother doesn’t care about me, so I decided to find a godmother, to experience some motherly love.”

“Then you should take Young Master Ze’s mother as your godmother. I think you might as well call her ‘mom’, it sounds quite nice.”

A slap swung his way.

“What’s wrong, didn’t you just say you lacked a mother’s love? My suggestion is quite good, you know. I beg you, fairy, if this continues, I will be beaten to death one day, if not blown to pieces!” Ye Chen continued,

“By the way, what did you mean by picking up a bottle of sand and giving it to me on my birthday?”

“What do you mean ‘just picked up a bottle of sand’? That’s the only thing I brought from my hometown. It represents my longing for home. It’s very meaningful.”

“Your longing for your hometown is none of my business. So you just gave me a bottle of sand and claimed it was meaningful. So for future birthdays, you can just give them a bottle of sand. Isn’t that too cheap?”

“Cheap! Even if others want it, I wouldn’t give it. It’s more precious than gold, silver, or pearls.” Said Ye Chen.

“You’re only good at making up these ridiculous arguments, who knows if you just picked it up from the doorstep.”

“What do you mean “ridiculous arguments”? It’s the entirety of its meaning, it’s not something that can just be given to anybody. I thought of the most meaningful thing, after all. If you don’t want it, you can give it back.”

“A few measly grains of sand, and you want me to give it back to you.”

“I didn’t bring much out with me. If I knew it would come to this, I should’ve brought a tall vase full of it.”
