CHAPTER 510: CHAPTER 510: THE EMPRESS’S IMPORTED DUMPLINGS! (PLEASE FOLLOW)

The old lady chuckled, "Son-in-law, eat some dumplings, have breakfast."

Xiao Ye picked up a dumpling and took a few bites, then his movements suddenly froze.

*No flavor at all, she must’ve forgotten the seasoning!*

Yunxi looked at him expectantly, "Xiao Ye, is it good?"

Xiao Ye forced a stiff smile, "Yeah, good, love it."

Gu Qingcheng, Ziran, and Xi’Er each took a few bites, their eyes all showing a hint of strangeness.

The two elders ate a few dumplings; their faces broke into broad smiles, and they said,

"Not bad, tastes nice."

"Way better than that lab pig food."

They genuinely seemed to like it, quickly polishing off several more.

The old man laughed, "You must be Xiaoxi, your cooking basics are solid, with a little more practice, you’ll make real delicacies."

Yunxi responded politely, but she felt something was missing.

She asked, "Xiao Ye, do you want an imported dumpling?"

Xiao Ye waved his hand, "Let’s wait a few days for imported dumplings, it doesn’t feel right now."

But Yunxi noticed he only ate one dumpling and didn’t touch them again. *Was her breakfast not appetizing?* She felt a bit disappointed.

She picked one up to try herself, chewed it a few times, and her cheeks flushed. *Now she understood everyone’s strange expressions.*

*Nope, this was my first time making breakfast—even if it’s bad, Xiao Ye has to finish it!*

So, the Iceberg Dean held a dumpling with her cherry lips and moved toward Xiao Ye’s face, mumbling, "Xiao Ye, open up."

Xiao Ye looked a bit dumbstruck, forced to take a bite of the imported dumpling.

And to be honest, it actually tasted a lot better than eating dumplings the usual way.

Gu Qingcheng was dumbfounded—*Was this how dumplings were meant to be eaten?* She was truly seeing something new, *maybe it’d grow her brain a bit.*

Ziran looked completely unfazed; she’d eaten imported dumplings with Xiao Ye before.

Xi’Er’s face instantly turned bright red. *Wow, doing this in front of everyone? Sister Yunxi is too bold! Isn’t she embarrassed at all?*

The two old men’s eyes grew wide. Damn, kids these days really know how to play, huh?

Even just having breakfast, they took it this far?

*Jeez! Looks like daughters had a tough time vying for affection in this family.*

Ziran nudged Xi’Er and whispered telepathically, "Xi’Er, you should feed Xiao Ye an imported dumpling too. You haven’t done that before, right?"

"Huh?" Xi’Er froze, replied telepathically, "Me too?"

*She kind of wanted to, but she was too thin-skinned and shy to do it in public.*

*After contracting with Xiao Ye, besides their wedding night, they hadn’t done anything else—literally no intimate contact at all.*

Ziran whispered, "Xi’Er, hurry up! Grab your happiness while you can, or do you want Xiao Ye to ignore you?"

Xi’Er’s face turned even redder. She stood up shyly, bit into a dumpling, and moved towards Xiao Ye, whispering, "Brother Xiao Ye, have some dumplings."

Xiao Ye didn’t really want to, but saw the hope in Xi’Er’s beautiful eyes, so he gave in.

After a few bites, he realized Xi’Er’s imported dumpling tasted completely different from Yunxi’s—one was a naïve, sweet flavor, while the other was a mature, seductive taste.

One mild as water, the other fierce as fire.

Xi’Er smiled, her eyes crinkling. "Brother Xiao Ye, do you like my dumplings?"

Xiao Ye patted her head and nodded, "Yeah, good, love it."

Next, Xiao Ye saw Ziran pick up a dumpling, his pupils contracting. "Ziran, you’re not coming over too, are you?"

Ziran rolled her eyes, "Hell no, I’m eating it myself. Not letting you have any."

"You want me to eat Xiaoxi’s and Xi’Er’s saliva? No way."

The two elders stared in awe, their faces a masterpiece of expression.

Damn, really broadening their horizons—this son-in-law had a harem just eating breakfast!

The old man glanced at Gu Qingcheng, who was still stunned, and grumbled quietly, "Xiaogu, get in there too."

"Huh?" Gu Qingcheng asked, "Get in for what?"

The old man sighed, "Get in with Xiao Ye!"

Gu Qingcheng was shocked, "Dad, I’m not even married to him yet, can’t have a wedding night now."

The old man blushed, coughed, "Ah, slipped up, I meant, go feed him an imported dumpling."

"All the other Beast Girls have done it, you can’t fall behind!"

"If you fall behind, you get smacked, got it."

The old lady urged, "Xiaogu, if you want to keep a man’s heart, don’t fall behind, go on, we’re rooting for you."

Gu Qingcheng’s lips twitched, *What kind of parents cheer their daughter on like this?*

"Fine, I’ll do it, okay?"

She asked, "Xiao Ye, do you want to try my dumplings?"

Xiao Ye glanced at her soft lips, swallowed, and said, "Uh, if you give it, I’ll eat it."

The two elders burst out laughing.

Gu Qingcheng, ever the decisive Demon Beast slayer, didn’t hesitate—she held a dumpling in her mouth and lunged boldly at Xiao Ye, pressing her lips to his.

"!" Xiao Ye was surprised—he hadn’t expected the Hang City Empress to be so fierce, feeding him imported dumplings right in front of her parents.

Tasting the Hang City Empress’s dumpling, he took his time savoring it.

He realized it tasted totally different again, with the unique flavor of the Empress herself.

Gu Qingcheng’s cheeks flushed a little, "Xiao Ye, do you like my dumplings?"

Xiao Ye nodded, "Yeah, good, love it!"

Gu Qingcheng returned to the couch, whispered, "Dad, Mom, this is enough, right?"

The old lady pulled her into the side room, saying, "Come with me, I need to talk to you."

In the side room—

Gu Qingcheng looked confused, "Mom, what’s up?"

The old lady smiled, "We need to give you some advice. With your experience, how else will you keep your son-in-law’s heart?"

The old man also walked in, "We’ve been around a while, know what men want. We want to pass down some experience."

"Sigh, I’m old now, can’t help much elsewhere, but with this, I’ve got your back."

Gu Qingcheng was floored; her parents wanted to teach her how to seduce a man?

Divine Soul Gu Qingcheng howled with laughter inside the Sea of Spirit.

"Xiaogu, just listen, seriously. Back in the day, Mom and Dad did the same for me."

"You wouldn’t believe it until you hear it."

"Turns out, they really know all sorts of tricks!"

Gu Qingcheng’s cheeks turned red and she said, "I’ll study hard."

The two elders nodded, their faces suddenly going dead serious, putting their hands behind their backs, transforming into teachers.

The old man lectured solemnly,

"First, you can’t give everything to your son-in-law at once. Do it gradually, little by little. If he doesn’t get all of you right away, you’ll keep his interest and have him hooked."

"It’s like couple’s pajamas—you can’t show too much. You need that half-covered, pipa halfway hidden look, full of mystery. Don’t reveal it all but don’t cover it all either if you want to keep his heart."

Gu Qingcheng was stunned into silence.

*Man, the old guy really knew what he was talking about!*

The old lady also folded her hands behind her back, looking serious, nodding, "Exactly. Back then, I gave everything to your dad all at once, which made him lose interest and go hang out at the club."

"Qingcheng, if you want your son-in-law, when it comes to physical contact, it’s got to be step by step. Don’t let him know everything about you right away, understand?"

Gu Qingcheng stared, then nodded.

The old man’s stern face reddened, mustache bristling, eyes wide. "Hey, you’re making me sound a lot worse than I am—I never lost interest in you back then."

The old lady snapped her eyes wide, "Oh yeah? Then did you or did you not go to the club?"

The old man’s face darkened, "Just went out for drinks with friends, don’t overthink it."

Gu Qingcheng’s lips twitched—*Weren’t they supposed to be teaching her? Instead, they were airing dirty laundry.*

*Digging up old grudges?*
