My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband

Chapter 287 How Is There An Extra Child? 2

After changing her clothes, Ye Siyuan touched up her makeup. Then, she put on Si Lisao’s suit jacket over her slip dress and went back upstairs.

Si Lisao was dining. His perfect profile and sculpted facial features were so striking that Ye Siyuan felt dizzy with just one glance. She took a deep breath, held her head high, and puffed out her chest. Her curled hair spilled lazily around her as she tried to present her most beautiful side. She sat down opposite Si Lisao.

Si Lisao was a reserved man. His indifference and lack of smiles could be quite cold, exuding a powerful sense of oppression. Ye Siyuan was already nervous. Her usual eloquence deserted her, rendering her mute.

As she hesitated about what to say, he suddenly looked up. His eyes sharpened; the golden irises, like precious stones, flashed with an arresting dark light.

"Changed your clothes?"

"Ah? Um, the other dress couldn’t be cleaned properly. Luckily, I had a spare in my trunk. However, the spare is a slip dress, and without a jacket, it might be a bit cold during this early spring chill. Crown Prince, may I continue to borrow your suit jacket?" Ye Siyuan bit her tender lower lip, afraid he would see through her lie. She also had a shirt in her car, but she just wanted to wear his suit jacket a little longer.

"As you wish," Si Lisao said, a corner of his crimson lips lifting slightly, his voice clear.

"Crown Prince, why are you here?" Ye Siyuan made small talk, trying to break the silence.

Si Lisao did not respond. He sipped the red wine from his glass, his every move exuding an indescribable elegance and nobility.

Ye Siyuan didn’t want to sit there in a daze, so she brought the unfinished food from the next table to his and resumed eating.

At that moment, Si Lisao suddenly asked, "May I invite myself to your home?"

"Ah?" Ye Siyuan almost choked in excitement. What did Si Lisao mean? He wanted to visit her home?

Si Lisao bowed his head and smiled gently. "Is it inconvenient?"

"Of course not!" Ye Siyuan was dazed by Si Lisao’s smile. Indeed, the strongest liquor in the world was the tenderness in his gentle smile. This island was her family’s, this city her family’s; she certainly wanted to extend her utmost hospitality! But to suddenly hear Si Lisao himself suggest visiting her home—she was beyond excited!

Her face flushed, so red it looked as if it might bleed!

"Crown Prince, when would you like to go?"

"After I finish eating." Si Lisao’s gentleness flickered away. After speaking, he continued to eat, his expression returning to its usual aloofness without another word.

Ye Siyuan bit her lip in thought, regretting that his gentle look had vanished so quickly. Why had Si Lisao suddenly suggested visiting her home? Reason told her it definitely wasn’t for her. Then... could it be for her sister-in-law? Her sister-in-law had revealed her dragon identity in Gendaya. Was Si Lisao here because of that? Even though she was just a means to an end for him, Ye Siyuan didn’t feel the slightest bit dejected. Being used by the one she loved was far better than being ignored completely. She felt good, and the food tasted even more delicious.

Half an hour later, they had both eaten their fill. They took the elevator down together. Outside the hotel, a line of imposing cars waited.

Before they got into a car, Si Lisao asked her, "Are you riding with me, or will you drive yourself?"

Ye Siyuan handed him her car keys. "Could you have someone drive my car back, please?"

Si Lisao tossed the keys to a subordinate, then invited her into his car.

They rode together in the same car to the island’s largest and most mysterious palace.

While crossing an overpass, a luxury car recklessly ignored traffic rules, swerving dangerously. To avoid it, their driver made a sharp turn. Caught by surprise and inertia, Ye Siyuan tumbled onto Si Lisao’s lap.

Oh my god, she wanted to bury herself alive! She quickly tried to get up.

But in the next instant, her hair snagged on something, sending a painful tingle down her scalp. A low MMM escaped Ye Siyuan as she whimpered in pain. Trying to free her hair, she reached up, and a dangerously cold voice grunted from beside her ear, "What do you think you’re doing?"

"Sorry, so sorry! My hair got caught on something. Can you help me? I can’t see it, and it really hurts."

The pulling sensation was almost tearing her scalp off. Afraid of the pain, Ye Siyuan had no choice but to rest her face on his lap, daring not to move.

Si Lisao’s eyes narrowed. Does this woman have any idea where her face is resting? And damn it all, he was actually reacting to her!

Fearing Ye Siyuan would notice, Si Lisao said in a harsh tone, "Lift your head. Don’t lean on my lap."

"Oh, oh, sorry! I didn’t mean to lean on your lap. Please, can you help me with my hair?"

Si Lisao parted her waterfall-like, dense hair. He found that her long, wavy locks were tangled in the metal chain of his belt, and his expression darkened further.

"Do you see it? What’s it caught on?"

Si Lisao gritted his teeth. "I see it. Don’t move."

Si Lisao was not adept at delicate tasks, and untangling hair from a metal chain was something he struggled with. The strands of hair and the metal links seemed deliberately entwined, as if to spite him.

Finally, Si Lisao simply unbuckled his belt, pulled it from his waist, and said coldly, "Fix it yourself!"

Only then did Ye Siyuan realize her hair had gotten caught on his belt. Oh my god, she wished she could find a block of tofu to bang her head against and end it all!

Ye Siyuan carefully untangled her hair from the metal chain, then presented the belt back to him with both hands, too mortified to lift her head. Her voice was small, a mix of contrition and naive distress. "I’m so sorry, I really didn’t do it on purpose. It was because the car suddenly swerved that I..."

The driver, alert to everything, immediately spoke up. "Crown Prince, it’s my fault. A car cut recklessly in front of us, and I had to swerve to avoid it."

Si Lisao snorted lightly, warning in a low voice, "If you can’t drive properly again, you can go and receive your punishment."

The driver dared not make a sound; the Crown Prince was exceptionally strict when it came to punishments.

Si Lisao buckled his belt. Then, he shot a fiery glare at Ye Siyuan, who was sneakily peeking at him from the corner of her eye as he did so. "Haven’t you seen enough?"

Ye Siyuan flinched. She immediately straightened her face, trying to explain, "I wasn’t looking at you."

Si Lisao mercilessly exposed her. "Oh, you weren’t? Then why is your face so red?"

"..."

Oh heavens, at that moment, Ye Siyuan wished she could leap out the window and escape.

She didn’t even want to recall how she endured the rest of the journey. Only when she saw the grand, imposing iron gates of her family’s palace did Ye Siyuan feel a glimmer of hope.

An impressive convoy of cars drove into the palace grounds. Through the car window, Si Lisao spotted three children.

Si Lisao’s gaze fell upon Yun Xiaosu in the distance, and his eyes narrowed sharply. "How is there another child?"
