My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband

Chapter 271: Xiaobai, Jingjing is Your Real Mother! 2

"Jingjing is your mother."

Mo Yinhe’s clear and magnetic voice was exceptionally cruel, tinged with a vengeful satisfaction, as if he wanted to see his son tormented to tears.

Ye Nianbai indeed turned into a dumbfounded goose.

A bolt from the blue on a clear day.

"What the shrimp?"

"Jingjing is not your wife; she’s my wife. If you dare call her your wife again, you’ll be eating ’shredded pork stir-fried with bamboo whips’ for dinner, understand?" Mo Yinhe was truly wicked.

Ye Nianbai let out a "WAAAH!" and burst into loud wails.

"Daddy is lying! Daddy’s so shameless, all to snatch this Young Master’s wife, WAAAH—"

Mo Yinhe ignored him.

The others wanted to comfort Ye Nianbai but didn’t know where to start. The poor little guy.

Both Elder Mr. and Mrs. Ye had been unaware of this matter and were stunned upon hearing it.

Mrs. Ye said blankly, "Yinhe, is this true? You can lie to the child, but don’t lie to Grandma."

Ye Siyuan walked over to her grandmother and hugged her arm.

"Grandma, it’s true. Mingjing is Sister-in-law, but she’s completely changed and doesn’t remember the past. Brother is trying to pursue Sister-in-law, and she even thinks Brother is treating her as a substitute."

Mrs. Ye was shocked. "How could this be? A perfectly fine person, how could she change so completely?"

Mo Yinhe’s clear and magnetic voice held a trace of heartache as he said, "She must have been reincarnated. I’m still investigating the specific reasons. Mingjing has lost her memory and doesn’t believe she is Ajiu. If I treat her as Ajiu, she’ll think I see her only as a substitute and will reject me. So... it’s better if we all treat her as a new person. The name Si Mingjing is very good. No matter her current identity or appearance, what I want is always her, this person, this soul."

Mo Yinhe wasn’t sure if she could ever recover her memory. If she couldn’t, then he would never mention Bai Jiusi again for the rest of his life. He couldn’t bear to see her struggle.

Mrs. Ye’s tears fell even harder. "That child... she must have suffered so much out there to become like this. I didn’t even recognize her."

Ye Siyuan comforted Mrs. Ye, "Grandma, nobody but Brother recognized Sister-in-law after she changed. You don’t have to blame yourself."

Mrs. Ye thought back to the first time she met Mingjing. "Although I didn’t recognize her, Xiaobai brought Mingjing home right away. Xiaobai is impressive. This is truly a mother-and-child connection."

"WAAAAH— WAAAAH—"

Ye Nianbai couldn’t feel proud at all!

"What mother-and-child connection? This Young Master’s wife is gone! This Young Master is going to be a bachelor!"

Children say the darndest things; the living room filled with laughter and cheer.

Ye Xinguang held his grandson in his arms and comforted him, asking, "Which is more important, a wife or a mother?"

"Of course it’s... WAAAH... Mother is more important!"

"Good boy. Xiaobai is the most sensible. Grandma believes that when Xiaobai first brought Jingjing home, it was because she was being bullied, and Xiaobai wanted to repay a kindness and protect Jingjing, right?"

"Definitely!"

That was exactly what Ye Nianbai thought. He proudly pounded his little chest and declared, "They were all laughing at Jingjing for being unwanted, which infuriated this Young Master! If nobody else wants her, this Young Master does! This Young Master will make Jingjing the happiest woman!"

"To make Jingjing the happiest woman, you don’t necessarily have to be her husband. Xiaobai, if you’re filial and good to Jingjing in the future, and be a son who dotes on his mom, isn’t that the same?"

Ye Nianbai nodded obediently.

Grandma’s words seemed to make a lot of sense.

Ye Nianbai stopped crying. He had already changed his strategy. Puffing out his little chest with determination, he said, "Grandma, this Young Master understands now. Wives can be divorced, but a mother is always this Young Master’s mother. This Young Master and Jingjing are even closer now, closer than with Daddy!"

The little rascal!

Mo Yinhe wished he could give the boy a good thrashing. Who said a wife can be divorced? The woman Mo Yinhe had chosen, even if she reincarnated, he would never let go. How could they possibly divorce? His son was merely an accident!

After Ye Xinguang had coaxed his grandson, he voiced the consensus, "The most important thing is for our daughter-in-law to return. If it were me, and I couldn’t remember being Bai Jiusi, I’d feel uncomfortable too. Let’s try to understand her. From now on, let’s not bring up Bai Jiusi anymore."

Speaking of this, Ye Xinguang added, "It’s a blessing in disguise. As for Ajiu’s parents, I don’t like them one bit. In the future, there’s no need to force smiles and pretend to get along as in-laws. It’s a relief for everyone."

The whole family, thinking of her peculiar parents, couldn’t help but frown. They all agreed never to mention Bai Jiusi again. This only made them feel more sympathy for Si Mingjing and want to cherish her even more.

「...」

Si Mingjing was so exhausted that when she woke up again, it was already noon the next day. She stretched languidly, her eyes still closed, when she smelled a faint floral scent lingering at her nose, reminiscent of cherry blossoms.

The fragrance was refreshing and intoxicating; one could get addicted with just a single whiff.

Curious, Si Mingjing opened her eyes. As far as she could see, the pure white sheets were covered with cherry blossom petals.

The balcony door was ajar, and as a sea breeze blew in, the cherry blossom petals on the bed danced in layers.

The sight was so romantic it tugged at her heartstrings.

Who could have done this, someone who knows how to please a woman? Mo Yinhe?

"Jingjing—Jingjing—"

A tiny figure rushed in from the balcony. It was the adorably cool Ye Nianbai.

He was wearing overalls, spiritedly climbed onto the bed, and cupping his little hands, scattered a handful of petals over her head.

Si Mingjing sat up and smiled at his mischievousness.

"Xiaobai, did you pick these flowers?"

Little Ye Nianbai looked quite smug.

"Of course! I picked them all by myself, without any help from Dad. Jingjing, do you like them?"

This Young Master wouldn’t admit he could only reach the cherry blossoms by riding on his father’s shoulders. Anyway, he was the one who picked them, so there was nothing wrong with saying so.

If he couldn’t pamper Jingjing as his wife, this Young Master would make her the happiest mother in the world.

Ye Nianbai climbed onto the bed and snuggled next to Si Mingjing, calling out, "Jingjing, Jingjing..."

His little arms tightened around Si Mingjing’s arm, and he looked both wronged and sad.

"What’s the matter? Who bullied you?" Si Mingjing asked, noticing the child wasn’t in a good mood.

Ye Nianbai shook his head. "Anyway, Jingjing, this Young Master will cherish you for a lifetime."

His words came out of nowhere.

Si Mingjing held him in her arms to comfort him.

"Jingjing, I want to ask you a question. If Dad and I fell into the water at the same time, who would you save?"

"Um..."

Si Mingjing couldn’t help but touch her forehead. "You and your dad both know how to swim. You probably wouldn’t need me to save you, right?"

Ye Nianbai, not giving up, asked again, "Then if Dad and I were both surrounded by zombies, who would Jingjing save?"

Si Mingjing answered without hesitation, "I’d save you."

Ye Nianbai was satisfied. "I knew it! I’m the most important person in Jingjing’s heart!"

Of course. Any normal person would save the child.

It’s an adult’s instinct to protect the young!

Si Mingjing couldn’t bear to tell Xiaobai the real reason behind his hypothetical question.
