My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband

Chapter 396: Si Lisao Sends a Birthday Gift, Surprise! 1

"Yes, yes!" Ye Siyuan immediately responded excitedly. "Crown Prince Lisao, what would you like to eat?"

From the room, Si Lisao’s indifferent voice could be heard. "Anything, just to fill my stomach."

"You’re sick, so you shouldn’t eat anything too greasy. Can I have the kitchen make you some light dumplings or noodles?"

"As you wish."

Worried that Si Lisao would be hungry, Ye Siyuan quickly went to the kitchen. After rummaging through the refrigerator, she found some wonton wrappers and wonton filling. These had been prepared in advance by the chef, who intended to make them for the children the next morning.

She had never dirtied her ten fingers with housework since she was young, let alone making wontons; she couldn’t even cook plain white porridge. So, she asked the butler to call the chef over to help. While the chef was making the wontons, she stood by and learned. In fact, it wasn’t hard; it felt quite simple as long as one put their heart into it.

In about fifteen minutes, a steaming hot bowl of wontons was ready.

She personally carried it to the third floor and knocked on the door. "Crown Prince Lisao, I had the kitchen make you a bowl of wontons."

Si Lisao, clad in his pajamas, opened the door but didn’t invite her in. He stood tall and arrogantly at the doorway, took the wontons, and said, "Thank you for your trouble. Go to sleep."

After handing the wontons to Si Lisao, Ye Siyuan sensed his wary attitude and felt a bit awkward. She said, "Then you should rest well."

Just as she was about to turn around, Si Lisao grabbed her wrist and lifted her hand. His eyes fell upon the reddened back of her left hand, his gaze deepening slightly.

"Did you burn it?"

"Oh, it’s nothing," Ye Siyuan said nonchalantly. "When I lifted the pot lid, steam gushed out. I didn’t react in time—it’s all my fault for being so clumsy. Imagine, burning myself just lifting a lid! You’re not allowed to laugh at me, okay? I just don’t go into the kitchen much and don’t have much experience, but I’ve already applied medicine."

"Come in."

Si Lisao carried the wontons into the room, leaving the door open.

Ye Siyuan stood at the door, hesitating for a moment. "No, I’m going to sleep now, Crown Prince Lisao. Good night."

"Come in."

Ye Siyuan’s steps faltered. She truly feared he would think she was one of those women who racked their brains to sneak into a man’s room; his display of vigilance made her feel embarrassed and uneasy.

But when Si Lisao called her in again, she let go of her inner burden and walked in confidently.

Si Lisao placed the wontons on the nightstand, lifted the blankets, got into bed, and sat up. His tone was gentle as he asked, "Would you mind feeding me?"

"Ah? What?" Ye Siyuan was shocked! She didn’t feel like Si Lisao was treating her like a servant; instead, she was utterly flattered and couldn’t believe he was allowing her to feed him. Uh, uh, uh, was she hearing things?

Si Lisao clarified, "You don’t want to? I have a fever and feel quite weak."

Ye Siyuan immediately placed her hand on his forehead. Indeed, it was alarmingly hot. "Then have you taken any fever reducer?"

"I’ll take it after I’ve eaten."

Ye Siyuan immediately picked up the bowl. She scooped up a wonton with a spoon, blew on it gently until it was warm, and then brought it to Si Lisao’s mouth, her nerves on edge.

Si Lisao opened his mouth, ate the wonton, and his deep gaze fell on her reddened face. Her skin was very white, almost translucent, tinged with a trace of blush—quite attractive.

Ye Siyuan suddenly found her breathing irregular, her whole body tense. She dared not meet his gaze and pretended to be relaxed, unaware that the more normally she tried to act, the more nervous she appeared to Si Lisao. The way she was nervous was quite adorable.

"What have you been up to lately? Still going around doing concerts?"

Ye Siyuan let out an "ah" and shook her head. "No, I’ve been writing songs lately, trying to produce a new album. But I haven’t had much inspiration and haven’t been able to write anything."

Years ago, she had used the excuse of lacking inspiration to travel to Mu Continent in search of it, and now she was again saying she lacked inspiration; it seemed she was always in need of it. However, every time she released a new song, it would set off a new trend in the music scene. The songs she composed were very pleasant to the ear, widely loved in both the world on land and the Undersea world.

After finishing the bowl of wontons, Ye Siyuan asked, "Are you taking your medicine now? However, it’s best to wait half an hour after eating before taking medication."

"Let’s wait then."

Si Lisao lay down without any intention of sending her away. "I’ll lie down for a while. Wake me up in half an hour."

Ye Siyuan was surprised. Crown Prince Lisao actually didn’t send her away—was this a sign of trust?

Ye Siyuan was brimming with energy. "Okay then!"

She took the bowl downstairs, brought up a cup of hot water, and, with a notebook and pen, sat quietly before the bed, contemplating her new song. For some reason, inspiration suddenly surged!

She had turned on only a small lamp. The light was dim, suffused with an orange glow that perfectly illuminated her radiant face.

Si Lisao dozed for a short while, but an uncomfortable sleeping position likely caused him to pull at his wound, and the pain woke him. Barely opening his eyelids, he saw Ye Siyuan in the orange light, biting her pen cap as she pondered her new song. He watched with interest for a while until Ye Siyuan noticed he was awake.

The girl biting her pen cap suddenly put down the pen and said, "Crown Prince Lisao, you’re awake?"

"What time is it now?"

"Five past midnight." Ye Siyuan was precise. "You’ve slept for almost twenty-one minutes."

Si Lisao sat up. "Give me the fever reducer."

He sat at the head of the bed wearing only a thin nightshirt. It had no buttons and revealed thick gauze on his chest, stirring pity yet not affecting the Crown Prince’s noble and restrained temperament in the least. Even when taking medication, every move was filled with a king-like charm.

Ye Siyuan placed the medication in his broad palm. After he swallowed the fever reducer, she handed him a cup of warm water, standing by, unable to shift her gaze away from him. That resolute and elegant jawline, the distinct curve, the indifferent expression that unintentionally revealed a commanding presence...

Ye Siyuan watched, slightly dazed.

Only when Si Lisao drank the water and handed the cup back to her did Ye Siyuan sheepishly avert her eyes, stuttering, "Then... I’ll go out now."

Si Lisao took out a small box from under the pillow and handed it to her.

"What’s this?"

"Your birthday gift. Happy birthday."

It was past midnight, the start of a new day. The next day was her birthday.

Ye Siyuan was delightfully surprised, accepting the small box incredulously. "Crown Prince Lisao, you prepared a birthday gift for me?" He actually prepared her birthday gift in advance?

Ye Siyuan felt as if she were dreaming! This was the most unexpected and surprising birthday she’d ever had!

"May I open it?" Her joy was written all over her face!

Si Lisao, reserved and profound, leaned against the pillow, watching her bubbling with excitement. "As you wish."

Ye Siyuan couldn’t wait to open it. Inside was a bracelet, a necklace, and two earrings—a matching set, beautiful! The pendant on the necklace was a mermaid—and that mermaid was her! The beautiful mermaid twinkled with charm and exquisite radiance, so dazzling she couldn’t look away! Similarly, the designs of the bracelet and earrings were also mermaids!
