Chapter 443: The Crown Prince Wants to Be Single No More, Asks the Nation Not to Hold Him Back! 2
"Hmm..."
Ye Siyuan’s eyes suddenly shot open; she lifted her delicate eyelashes in disbelief.
Her mind buzzed, and immediately everything went blank.
By the time she regained her senses, Si Lisao had already stepped onto the submersible. However, the sensation of his cool lips on hers still vividly stimulated Ye Siyuan’s mind, which felt like it was exploding with fireworks, causing her heart to surge tumultuously.
Sitting in the pilot’s seat of the submersible, Si Lisao looked down and smiled. "Not going back yet?"
"Ah? Oh! Oh! Oh!"
The adorably flustered Ye Siyuan turned and fled, hands covering her face in utter embarrassment.
Si Lisao laughed and piloted the submersible swiftly away.
"Ahhh!" Ye Siyuan shrieked internally, throwing herself onto the bed in her guest room. She buried her face in the blanket, her heart pounding. We covered first and second base in just one night! Crown Prince Lisao kissed me! He actually took the initiative to kiss me!
Ye Siyuan still remembered her first kiss. It was because of Crown Prince Lisao’s coming-of-age ceremony. He had been feeling awful at the time, already a bit delirious. She had mustered her courage, leaned in, and kissed him first...
Thinking about the past, and then about tonight... Back then, she took the initiative; tonight, she was the passive one. Her emotions were a whirlwind, from the depths to the heavens. Oh, I’m done for! I won’t be able to sleep tonight!
She was so excited she didn’t fall asleep until four-thirty in the morning.
When she woke up the next afternoon, she saw that she had hit number one on the Bo & Wei trending list!
It was a photo from the dance where, after Bai Qingshui stepped on her dress, Si Lisao had heroically come to her rescue.
The photo had caused a stir online.
The netizens of Mu Continent all went wild.
But why is it all mockery?
Netizen 1: "My eyes! My eyes! I can’t bear to look! Did Ye Siyuan deliberately stage that fall?"
Netizen 2: "Such a schemer! Confirmed!"
Netizen 3: "Don’t overthink it, everyone. It’s clear Ye Siyuan staged it. Our Crown Prince is just too much of a gentleman, and she took advantage of that!"
Netizen 4: "Are you all just jealous? Don’t we all know what our Crown Prince is like? Is he the kind of person to play the hero for just anyone? Remember the live broadcast of that state dinner last year? The Princess of Lemuria was visiting our Mu Continent. When she fell in front of our Crown Prince, not only did he not help her up, he even took a step back. He was afraid she’d desperately grab him like a lifeline. This time, it’s clear our Crown Prince went out of his way to rescue her!"
Although it wasn’t evident in the photo, some guests at the scene had recorded a short video and uploaded it online.
At the time, Ye Siyuan’s male dance partner had tried to save her, but the Crown Prince beat him to it!
The Crown Prince had abandoned his own partner, rushing to save Ye Siyuan—iron-clad evidence!
Netizen 5: "Hey, commenter above, which country are you from?"
Netizen 4: "Atlantis. What’s it to you?"
Netizen 5: "Heh, so you’re one of Princess Siyuan’s crazy fans. Our Crown Prince wouldn’t even spare her a glance!"
Unexpectedly, not long after this comment was posted, netizens saw the most esteemed Crown Prince of Mu Continent retweet and comment: "I fancy her."
Those two words triggered an absolute international shockwave!
The netizens who had been ready to continue their attacks were all: "!!!!????"
Netizen 5 was dumbstruck, unable to believe the Crown Prince had actually replied to their comment.
But then... Account hacked! The Crown Prince’s Bo & Wei account must have been hacked!
Netizen 6: "Shameless Ye Siyuan! To tarnish our esteemed Crown Prince, you even had Atlantis’s technicians hack his Bo & Wei account! Did you think we’d believe the Crown Prince could actually fancy you then?"
Netizen 7: "@MinistryofDefense, @NationalCybersecurityBureau, @SupremeCyberPolice, the Crown Prince’s account has been hacked!"
Netizens left messages on various official social media pages, hoping the national security departments would take the matter seriously and quickly eliminate the negative impact.
However, five minutes later, the National Cybersecurity Bureau posted on Bo & Wei: "After technical verification + personal confirmation, the Crown Prince’s official Bo & Wei account was not hacked. The Crown Prince stated that he fancies her and is actively pursuing Princess Siyuan, striving to win the beauty over soon."
The Ministry of Defense also posted on Bo & Wei: "We have communicated with the Crown Prince’s chief of staff. There was no hacking incident. The Crown Prince said: ’It’s not easy finding someone. I hope my fellow citizens won’t hold me back.’"
The netizens of Mu Continent: "..."
So, when Ye Siyuan woke up around noon, she found she had dominated the top ten trending topics.
#TheCrownPrinceSaysHeFanciesHer
#CrownPrinceWantsToStopBeingSingleAsksNotToBeHeldBack
#MermaidYeSiyuanCrownPrinceIsPursuingHer
#Highlight!YeSiyuanIsAFourthGenerationDirectDescendantOfBaiRonghua
#IsMuContinentToFormACenturyLongAllianceWithAtlantis?
...
There were too many topics. Reportedly, Bo & Wei crashed twice that morning because netizens were frantically commenting under each trending topic.
Ye Siyuan stared at the three Bo & Wei posts from Si Lisao, the Mu Continent’s National Cybersecurity Bureau, and the Mu Continent’s Ministry of Defense for nearly half an hour, not tiring of them in the slightest.
She even took screenshots and saved them!
Should I send Si Lisao some kind of response? But what should I send? Compose, delete, delete, compose...
She spent a full twenty minutes crafting a WeChat message, only to delete it all in the end.
I just don’t know what to send! I’m too keyed up! So, she ended up not sending anything.
She got up, washed, and freshened up. She felt like she was walking on clouds—so light and surreal.
Just then, a servant knocked on the door from outside. "Miss Ye, are you awake?"
Ye Siyuan opened the door. "Yes, I’m awake. Is there something you need?"
The servant said, "The Old Lady invites you to lunch. Many family elders are here today; they all wish to meet you. The Eldest Miss said you were still sleeping, so she sent me to check. If you’re awake, please join them for lunch."
"Alright, lead the way."
"Miss Ye, please."
The servant’s attitude towards Ye Siyuan was exceptionally respectful. Since the Crown Prince himself had asked his fellow citizens not to hold him back, how could any servant dare to be negligent?
On the Mu Continent, many citizens held a fanatical loyalty towards Si Lisao.
His words were more effective than a royal decree!
In the dining room of the Old Lady’s quarters, quite a few people were seated—all members of the Bai Family. Having learned that Ye Siyuan was a descendant of Bai Ronghua, they had come over, eager to meet her. They were also discussing the day’s hottest topics.
"I can’t believe the Crown Prince has taken a liking to a daughter of our Bai Family!"
Even though Ye Siyuan bore the surname Ye, in the eyes of these family members, she was now considered not only a rightful and direct young mistress of the Ye Family but also a daughter of the Bai Family!
The Bai Family had already produced a noblewoman of the Dragon Clan. Now, they might also have a Crown Princess Consort—what a glorious honor!
Heaven bless our Bai Family!
At that moment, those family members were eager to have Ye Siyuan formally acknowledge her ancestry and rejoin the Bai lineage. That way, the future Crown Princess Consort being from the Bai Family would be an undeniable fact!
