Chapter 273 The Demon King’s Jealousy Strikes Again! 2
With that thought, Ye Nianbai put on a nonchalant air and stopped squabbling with his dad, instead giving him a sympathetic thumbs-up.
Si Mingjing finished the entire piece of cake and still wanted more.
There were four dishes and one soup on the dining table: crucian carp and tofu soup, chicken wings baked with salted egg yolk, cumin-roasted lamb, and garlic vermicelli steamed shrimp. These were all home-cooked dishes, but they tasted incredibly good.
Especially the crucian carp and tofu soup—the tofu was tender and fresh, and the light yet authentically flavored fish broth whetted one’s appetite.
Si Mingjing praised, "The chef’s skills are quite impressive."
Chef Mo Yinhe served her more food, saying, "If you like it, eat more. You need to nourish yourself well."
He had exhausted her yesterday, and Mo Yinhe’s heart ached with pity.
"Mm-hmm, aren’t you and the children eating?"
"We’ve already eaten."
Mo Yinhe opened a bottle of red wine. He sat beside her, sipping it and occasionally taking a few bites of food, keeping her company during her meal.
The three little ones couldn’t stay still and had gone out to play.
After the meal, Mo Yinhe asked if she wanted to take a walk around the island.
Thinking of how her legs were still weak, Si Mingjing firmly declined the offer, wishing only to see her senior brother.
"What’s the rush? They might see you as a monster. Why are you being so chummy with someone you’ve only met a few times?"
Mo Yinhe grabbed her hand and slid a ring phone onto her middle finger, saying, "Promise me, no matter what crisis you face, you will never take off this ring phone to give to some other man. Otherwise, I will slaughter that man!"
His tone was fierce; he was not joking.
Si Mingjing responded, "But it was an emergency, right? My master raised and taught me, and his only grandson is like my own brother. I definitely have to protect my senior brother."
However, Mo Yinhe wouldn’t listen, overcome with jealousy. "You should repay your master; that brat doesn’t deserve to be your brother."
Si Mingjing felt frustrated. "Don’t I want to repay my master? But they aren’t here, so I can’t. If you keep being so petty, I’ll ignore you."
With that, she put on a stern face.
Mo Yinhe embraced her, coaxing, "Do you want to bring your master back?"
"How could that be easy? I can only hope that the cancer formula wins the Nobel Prize so that I can obtain amnesty. Then I can bring my master back."
She’s truly foolish, Mo Yinhe thought. She has such strong support to rely on, yet she still insists on struggling so hard.
"What if I help you bring them back?"
"Really?"
Si Mingjing’s spirits lifted instantly, but then she shook her head. "It’s no use. If you bring them back, it would be considered smuggling them to Earth. They wouldn’t be able to live openly. If their crimes aren’t pardoned, will they have to live in secrecy forever? Of course, if it’s possible, I still want to bring the two elders back."
Even a life of secrecy would be better than staying on that hellish Prison Star.
"I’ll figure out a way. Let’s bring them back first."
As for amnesty, one didn’t necessarily need to win the Nobel Prize. The President of A Country had the power to grant it. If necessary, Mo Yinhe could trade for it; he had plenty of assets to offer in exchange.
Si Mingjing did not refuse.
「After resting for half an hour」
She met her senior brother, Zhang Muguang, in the reception room.
Zhang Muguang asked, his eyes full of concern, "Junior sister, are you alright?"
"I’m fine, senior brother. What about you?"
Zhang Muguang said, "I’m alright too. I just had a nightmare and got a bit startled, but I’ve recovered now."
Si Mingjing’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly. Her face was calm, but inside, she was panicking. "Senior brother, what nightmare did you have?"
Zhang Muguang mocked himself, "I dreamed that you turned into a Giant Dragon, but how could that be possible? It must have been an illusion caused by my shock. You’re not a monster."
Si Mingjing smiled without saying a word. She didn’t like to lie, and when she preferred not to explain, she responded with a smile.
"Senior brother, shall I arrange for someone to send you back to A Country?"
"Mr. Mo bought me a plane ticket for just after four o’clock this afternoon."
"So soon?"
Zhang Muguang also felt it was a bit rushed, but since Mr. Mo had kindly bought him the plane ticket, he couldn’t really say much.
"There are many things I need to handle at the clinic, so I should indeed go back earlier. Junior sister, aren’t you returning to A Country?"
Si Mingjing shook her head. "I need to register a company here, so I won’t be going back for the time being. Senior brother, about the experiences in the Undersea World, don’t talk about it with others. Those undersea countries don’t want to be exposed. If you reveal it, your life could be in danger."
"I understand. Mr. Mo has already warned me. The world is vast and full of wonders. I’ll keep my lips sealed."
Seeing there wasn’t much else to discuss about that, Si Mingjing started chatting about everyday things.
They had chatted for less than fifteen minutes when Mo Yinhe came in to remind them that if Zhang Muguang didn’t leave soon, he would miss his flight.
Si Mingjing glared fiercely at Mo Yinhe. This man was doing it on purpose!
Mo Yinhe pretended not to see the protest in Si Mingjing’s eyes and courteously saw Zhang Muguang out, ensuring he was well taken care of until his departure.
"I’ve arranged a car for you, which will take you to the airport."
"Thank you, Mr. Mo."
Zhang Muguang stood up to say goodbye, his eyes filled with longing and reluctance. "Junior sister, when you come back to A Country, I’ll treat you to a meal."
"Mm."
Si Mingjing walked Zhang Muguang to the door and watched him get into the car.
After the car had driven off into the distance, she kicked Mo Yinhe hard.
"I only talked with senior brother for fifteen minutes, and we hadn’t even finished a cup of tea before you sent him away!"
Mo Yinhe stood beside her, tall and slender. He didn’t even frown when she kicked him, and he had a plausible excuse ready.
"Mingjing, you’re misjudging a gentleman with your petty assumptions. Today, the only flight to A Country is the one just after four o’clock this afternoon. You can check for yourself if you don’t believe me."
Si Mingjing actually checked the flight information on her phone.
What Mo Yinhe said was indeed correct.
But, clever as Si Mingjing was, she quickly noticed something fishy. "This flight is usually scheduled for 10:00 PM on Fridays. Only this Friday was it moved to 4:00 PM. Mo Yinhe, you still claim you haven’t meddled? This airline belongs to Ye Group!"
Mo Yinhe was genuinely puzzled. They say a woman’s IQ drops to zero when she’s in love. He’d spent hours thoroughly exhausting her on the plane, so why did her IQ seem to increase instead of decrease?
He still hadn’t done enough!
Mo Yinhe picked her up bridal style. "Don’t be angry. I just can’t stand to see you spend an extra second with any other man. You have to understand, I’m a man. Truth be told, men can be as petty as the eye of a needle. There’s no reason I should be an exception, right?"
Si Mingjing rolled her eyes, not wanting to deal with him.
She didn’t resist being carried back to the room by him because her legs were indeed soft and sore, and she didn’t want to walk another step.
Mo Yinhe coaxed her, playing to her interests, "Weren’t you planning to register a company? I’ll teach you how."
"Mm," Si Mingjing allowed herself to be somewhat mollified.
She was here precisely to register a new company.
Mo Yinhe carried her to the study and taught her step-by-step, helping her organize the relevant materials for company registration.
Si Mingjing quietly began the process of registering the company.
Registering a company requires initial capital.
Si Mingjing checked her bank card.
She was surprised to find that in just three months on Earth, she had already accumulated 500,000,000 in pure cash assets! She was already this wealthy?
