Star Farming, the eldest lady relies on alchemy to counterattack

Chapter 406 Comfort
"I don't know why they brought me into this world and then abandoned me. Sometimes I even wish I had never been here." Yu Mingche's eyes were fragile and confused. He exuded a strong sense of world-weariness and seemed to have no attachment to this world.

Ning Xuan had already read all of Yu Mingche's information and knew why he said that.

People who lack love in their childhood are prone to psychological problems. Yu Mingche not only lacked love, but he was also in an environment full of malice towards him during his childhood. It is already very difficult for him to grow up safely.

"Mingche, don't think like that. You didn't do anything wrong. Those who criticize you and bully you are just low-class people. It has nothing to do with you. Your father and mother must also want you to be healthy and happy." Ning Xuan hugged Yu Mingche and gently patted his back.

"Xuanxuan, thank you." Thank you for still being willing to comfort me, Yu Mingche said silently in his heart.

Ning Xuan felt the slightly trembling shoulders of the person in her arms, and felt the coolness of the fabric soaked with tears on her fingertips.

She hugged Yu Mingche tighter and kissed his cheek. "Mingche, no matter how others judge you, don't care, and don't hurt yourself. You're not alone anymore. You're mine, and there's a little life here. You can't be willful anymore."

"Mmm." Yu Mingche's voice was broken, choked with sobs.

"Alright, stop overthinking. Let's go get something to eat. Feng Linran told me you haven't eaten for days. If I find out you're ruining your health like this, I'll punish you." Ning Xuan slapped Yu Mingche's bottom and threatened.

"But I really have no appetite," Yu Mingche said, struggling to speak.

"If you don't have an appetite, eat something appetizing, just a little bit, consider it as keeping me company while I eat," Ning Xuan insisted.

“Alright.” Yu Mingche immediately conceded after hearing Ning Xuan’s words.

Yu Mingche has such a deep-seated problem because he has investigated and found that men bear many risks when they give birth to life, and his father's death is likely related to his pregnancy.

Yu Mingche chose to carry a child on his own not only to compete for a position that would be advantageous to him, but also, to a large extent, to test whether carrying a child would lead to death and what the consequences would be.

If he can successfully conceive, his past emotional knots will naturally unravel.

When Ning Xuan learned that Yu Mingche hadn't eaten for several days, she notified the kitchen. When she led Yu Mingche into the restaurant, Jiuwei was already waiting there.

Under the bright crystal chandelier, Nine-Tailed Fox leaned against the carved armchair, wearing a light blue embroidered long robe with dark silver peony patterns embroidered on the collar. The neckline was low, revealing her delicate collarbone and snow-white skin.

Nine-Tailed Fox's eye shape is somewhat similar to Yu Mingche's, both being fox-like eyes with upturned corners. Nine-Tailed Fox must have been specially made up, with thin eyeliner drawn with gold powder and eyelashes as thick as raven feathers.

A beauty mark adorned his left eye, adding a touch of allure, yet his eyes remained crystal clear, reflecting the lamplight like two pools of autumn water. When he looked up, his gaze held both youthful innocence and the seductive allure of a fox spirit. On the round table in the dining room, several desserts were laid out: jade shrimp dumplings, their emerald green color tempting, and layers of rose pastries resembling blooming flowers. In the center sat a crystal goblet containing chilled double-layered cheese, its texture delicate and smooth.

"This servant greets my master and my husband." Upon seeing Ning Xuan and Yu Mingche, the Nine-Tailed Fox immediately came out to greet them and bowed.

Ning Xuan waved her hand, "Make some dishes that Mingche likes, according to his taste." Ning Xuan instructed.

"I've already prepared fish porridge and golden thread noodles, which are the master's favorites." In this house, Nine-Tailed Fox and Yu Mingche have spent the most time together. In addition, both of them have fox-like genes, and Yu Mingche is a nine-tailed fox. Nine-Tailed Fox has always been respectful and subservient to Yu Mingche, and has served Yu Mingche for longer than she has served Ning Xuan. Naturally, she knows Yu Mingche's dietary preferences very well.

Nine-Tailed Fox took out two palm-sized white jade bowls from a gilded food box. Steam rose from the mouth of one bowl, with tender white fish slices and emerald green rice floating in it. The other bowl contained tempting golden thread noodles.

Yu Mingche had not eaten for several days due to his depressed mood. Today, after being comforted by Ning Xuan, he felt much better and, looking at the food he usually loved, he felt a little hungry.

Ning Xuan accompanied Yu Mingche to eat some more snacks. After the meal, she accompanied Yu Mingche back to his courtyard. Upon returning to Yu Mingche's courtyard, Ning Xuan discovered that Jiuwei had also followed them back.

Ning Xuan looked at Yu Mingche with some doubt. Yu Mingche smiled and said, "Master, Nine-Tailed Fox has been home for so long and has been working diligently. Do you think we can take advantage of this contract ceremony to give him a proper title?"

Nine-Tailed Fox and Blue Heart were sent here together and were originally raised according to the standards of the people in the room. Blue Heart has been linked to Ning Xuan and, like Di Youlin, has become Ning Xuan's contract slave, while Nine-Tailed Fox's situation has remained unchanged.

When Nine-Tail first came to Ning Xuan's side, he was very eager to seduce her. However, as more and more excellent contractors appeared around Ning Xuan, each with their own status and background, he realized that Ning Xuan didn't seem to have any interest in him. Fearing that being too active would cause her to feel disgusted, he catered to Ning Xuan's preferences and focused on studying cooking.

However, this does not mean that he does not want to be a legitimate member of this family, especially after Lan Xin was linked to Ning Xuan due to an accident, and Jiuwei was going through a lot of inner turmoil.

Yu Mingche dared to bring up this topic because he knew that Ning Xuan didn't dislike Jiuwei. In fact, Jiuwei was favored by Ning Xuan because of its excellent cooking skills. Therefore, Ning Xuan would most likely not refuse the suggestion.

When Yu Mingche brought up this topic, Ning Xuan looked over, and the Nine-Tailed Fox knelt down respectfully. Its body was very low, and its forehead was almost touching the ground, showing a submissive posture.

Ning Xuan's gaze fell on him, and she lightly tapped the table with her fingertips. The sound was neither too loud nor too soft, which made Jiuwei's back tense up even more. His palms were sweaty with nervousness, as if he was waiting for a verdict of fate.

"Nine-Tailed Fox, come forward," Ning Xuan called out.

"Yes, Master." Nine-Tailed Fox responded softly. He didn't dare to raise his head, got up and took a few steps forward, then knelt down beside Ning Xuan.

Ning Xuan narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at his obedient appearance, and suddenly remembered how he looked when he was first brought here. At that time, although he was also respectful, he seemed to be much more lively than he is now.
