Chapter 427: Who Found the Little Liyu I Raised? 2
After dinner, having settled her family from her parental home, Si Mingjing was dragged back to the bedroom in the East Garden of the palace by Mo Yinhe.
Once the door was closed, Mo Yinhe exploded in anger, "You plan to leave your husband and child without consulting me? Isn’t it just to take revenge for your mother? I’ll send someone to kill Bai Chuanfeng right now to appease your mother’s spirit in heaven!"
Si Mingjing tried to soothe Mo Yinhe, "Isn’t it just for a month? I’ll be back in a month. Don’t be angry. A little absence makes the heart grow fonder, right?"
Mo Yinhe remained unmoved, his face stern, his authority and firmness unwavering. "A little absence makes the heart grow fonder refers to the time I spend at the Undersea World office in the morning and the time I take to come home in the evening! Even a second more is not a little absence!"
Si Mingjing tried to please him with a smile, parting her lips. "Then what is that?"
Mo Yinhe picked her up forcefully and threw her onto the bed, his towering frame covering her, and through gritted teeth, he said, "A life-and-death separation!"
Having said that, he bent down and fiercely kissed her lips!
Did he really seem like a man with no principles or a good temper just because he indulged her on a regular basis?
It seemed he had never enforced the family rules on her before!
Si Mingjing pushed him but couldn’t push him away. She thought to herself that others say that bedroom squabbles are best settled in bed, and as long as you feed a man’s stomach well, everything is negotiable, so she stopped struggling.
After an intense and sweaty affair, Mo Yinhe carried her to the shower. His expression had softened quite a bit, but his tone was still firm, "I’ll say it again, I don’t agree."
This man had devoured her down to the bone, and he still didn’t agree?
Her cheeks were faintly flushed; she was so languid that she couldn’t even bother lifting her eyelids and spoke to him in a soft and silky voice, "It’s not just for revenge. You said that all the Little Dragon pups on Mu Continent are your flesh and blood, right? But has your investigative team found even one Little Dragon pup? I want to go to Mu Continent to investigate personally."
The two were showering under the heat lamp, Mo Yinhe’s face gloomy and silent.
Si Lisao was too wary of him. The moment his power extended into Mu Continent, it fell under Si Lisao’s watchful eye, making investigation exceedingly difficult.
Even a mighty dragon is no match for the local snake!
Mo Yinhe hadn’t found a single Little Dragon pup!
If it weren’t for Little Liangliang, Xiao Susu, and Little Shurong coming to him on their own, he probably wouldn’t have known till now that these three little ones were born to Mingjing for him!
If Mingjing could infiltrate the enemy...
"I promise, I’ll be back in a month."
"That’s still not okay!"
Mo Yinhe, with a gloomy face, said, "I was just kidding. Even I, Mo Yinhe, can’t possibly have quintuplets in one go! We only have four children, there can’t be any more!"
Two sons and two daughters, perfectly balanced, he had nothing to be unsatisfied about!
"But I feel like I should have another son, named Xiangru."
Si Mingjing was very confident about this!
Mo Yinhe was not listening; he again embraced her waist and, in the shower, continued to act willfully and recklessly.
He intended to keep her in bed for three days, unable to go anywhere!
When they returned to the bedroom from the bathroom, Si Mingjing lay on the bed and fell asleep.
She hadn’t slept last night, and after such a commotion tonight, she was exhausted.
Mo Yinhe, however, couldn’t sleep. During the night, he sat on the balcony in his nightgown, pouring himself a glass of wine, thinking and weighing his options. He knew he couldn’t stop her.
Getting angry now is pointless.
Reason told him it would be better to make arrangements for her well-being so that she wouldn’t be bullied even on Mu Continent.
Mo Yinhe decided to assign his trusted guard, Fengjue, to her side.
Fengjue was clever and had been by his side for many years. He could handle many matters with ease and would be a good helper for Mingjing.
If some unknown wild man wants to approach her, Fengjue will deal with him immediately!
What Mo Yinhe worried about was Qu Liushang.
In Yecheng, under his watchful eye, Qu Liushang had little chance to get close to his woman, even though he rented an entire floor in the Yinhai Building!
Mo Yinhe had always been on strict guard.
But it was different on the Mu Continent!
He knew that Qu Liushang, including others like Sheng Liuyun, were racking their brains to lure Mingjing back to the Mu Continent, and now they had succeeded!
The temptation of avenging her mother was too great; he knew his Mingjing couldn’t resist it!
Mo Yinhe swirled the ice cubes in his wine glass. The clinking sound in the deep night struck his lonely heart. They hadn’t even parted yet, but he was already suffering from lovesickness.
Just then, with a THUD, a little red carp jumped out of the fish tank, falling heavily to the floor and disturbing Mo Yinhe, who was lost in thought. He lowered his gaze and saw Little Liyu flopping about on the ground.
"Daddy! Daddy! Look here! Look here!"
Little Xiangru had truly outdone itself trying to attract Daddy’s attention, and oh, how its whole body ached from the painful thud!
Mo Yinhe put down his wine glass and walked over to pick up the silly and endearing Little Liyu, depositing it back into the fish tank.
Little Xiangru swam around in the fish tank.
"Daddy! Daddy! Is Mommy going back to the Mu Continent? That’s great, take this fishy too!"
"This fishy wants to go back and continue the mission. After completing the mission and accumulating enough merit, this fishy can become a human baby and ask Daddy and Mommy for hugs!"
"Daddy! Daddy! This fishy is trapped here and can’t go back to continue the mission. Daddy, you must tell Mommy to take this fishy with her!"
"Daddy, Daddy, did you hear me?"
Of course, Mo Yinhe didn’t hear, but Sheng Liuyun had been thinking about Little Xiangru since yesterday!
The next day, upon hearing that Si Mingjing was going to return to the Mu Continent with the Bai Family, Sheng Liuyun was so happy he almost set off fireworks to celebrate!
"Take Little Liyu with you!" Sheng Liuyun called Si Mingjing, emphasizing it repeatedly.
Si Mingjing was indifferent, "Why?"
Sheng Liuyun explained, "I’ve checked; that Little Liyu slipped away from the Mu Continent to play in Mengcheng and got caught. Its owner has been searching everywhere for it and has even posted a fish-search notice on Bo-Wei. I’ll send you the link. Being honest and returning lost property is the mark of an upstanding citizen!"
Sheng Liuyun sent the Bo-Wei link over.
Si Mingjing clicked the link and, sure enough, it was true!
The Bo-Wei post was made by someone named Lu Jinyi, who had posted several photos with the caption: [Generous Reward]
The details read: Who picked up my Little Liyu? It’s one of a kind in the world! This little darling is my lifeblood! If anyone has found it, they must return it! It’s my life! Not returning it is akin to taking my life! I am willing to offer a hefty reward! I’ll thank you on my knees! Thank you! Thank you!
But Si Mingjing was reluctant to return it.
She raised an eyebrow slightly, "Don’t all little carps look like this?"
Sheng Liuyun said, "Lu Jinyi is my buddy. He saw the photo you posted to Bo-Wei yesterday and recognized instantly that Little Liyu in the fish tank is the one he lost. He specifically called me to beg me to ask you for it.
He said, you can name your price for the reward, just as long as you return Little Liyu to him, from then on you’ll be like his sister. In the Mu Continent, just mention his name, and no one will dare to bully you!"
