My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband

Chapter 469: Complaining Is a Sickness, Ye Jingzhe Is the Cure (2)

On the other side, Si Mingjing and Mo Yinhe went to the cinema to watch a movie. They didn’t return to the Bai Family’s home until late into the night.

Si Mingjing asked Mo Yinhe when they would return to Yecheng.

Mo Yinhe, holding her in his arms, went straight to the bedroom. He planned to satisfy himself thoroughly tonight and set off in the morning.

So that night, Si Mingjing suffered.

When she woke up early in the morning, her legs were weak. Mo Yinhe was gone, but his warmth still lingered on the bedsheet beside her.

Si Mingjing then sent a voice message to Mo Yinhe via WeChat, cursing right away, "Mo Yinhe, you jerk!"

Mo Yinhe replied instantly in the voice message, his magnetic voice carrying a husky tone from being sated, "The jerk made you breakfast. Remember to eat it after you get up."

"I can’t get up!" She lay in bed, so tired she wished she could sleep for three days and nights.

Mo Yinhe just laughed. As the voice message began to play, Si Mingjing heard Mo Yinhe laugh heartily, "Baby, are you complimenting your man’s prowess?"

Si Mingjing didn’t reply. She lay down for a while and fell asleep again, waking up close to eleven-thirty.

The breakfast was kept in an insulated box. She got up and ate it directly; it was still warm.

There was soothing shrimp and millet porridge, crispy crab roe soup dumplings, golden-fried tempura shrimp, and a steaming cup of milk.

In the Undersea World, milk was a rarity, hardly consumed by anyone. However, Mo Yinhe knew she liked milk, so he instructed the guards to purchase it from the surface nations once a week. They stored it in the fridge, ensuring she could have it anytime, even in Mu Continent.

Fresh flowers were also uncommon in Mu Continent. Yet, on the dining table, a single, vibrant red rose stood in a vase—also Mo Yinhe’s handiwork.

He often showed her the most thoughtful affection in many subtle aspects of life.

Seeing the red rose in the vase—though it was just one—Si Mingjing knew that the people of the Undersea World didn’t fancy such things. It must have been prepared by Mo Yinhe for her, and her lips curved into a slight smile.

After she had finished eating, Fengjue came in to report.

"Crown Princess Consort, I’ve found the information you asked me to look up. Your maternal grandfather indeed left a treasure in Mu Continent years ago."

Si Mingjing wiped her mouth, waiting for him to continue.

Fengjue said, "Your maternal grandfather was originally the eldest young master of the Si Family and uncle to Crown Prince Lisao. After coming of age, he traveled to the surface and married a woman from A Country, where he settled down after their marriage and the birth of their child. This action was deemed disgraceful by the Si Family. They considered your maternal grandfather to have degraded himself, so he was seldom mentioned. However, it’s said that he left a treasure with the Si Family. Its specific location is unknown to me."

Si Mingjing showed Fengjue the key left by her maternal grandfather. "What do you think this key is for?"

Fengjue held the key, examining it for a good while before scanning it with his phone.

The year was 2050, and scanning a key could provide a lot of information.

Moreover, Fengjue’s phone was no ordinary device available on the market. It was the highest-end, cutting-edge technology, custom-made internally. It was just like Si Mingjing’s phone, which Mo Yinhe had his research team develop specifically, featuring functions like a protective shield.

Sure enough, moments later, the holographic virtual screen displayed many data points about the key.

The data indicated that the key was for a safety deposit box. Even the model of the safe, the manufacturer, and that particular batch were clearly identified.

Si Mingjing sat in her chair, intrigued. She pondered, A safety deposit box? It should be in the study of my maternal grandfather’s old bedroom. If my maternal grandfather was from the Si Family, they surely would have had a bedroom designated for him. Or, did my maternal grandfather have any other properties on Mu Continent?

Fengjue replied, "Yes, your maternal grandfather had a private property on Mu Continent, right here."

Fengjue opened a map on his phone, showing it only to her.

"Let’s go have a look," Si Mingjing said, having nothing better to do.

Si Mingjing wasn’t very interested in the treasure itself, but she hoped she might find some mementos of her maternal grandfather or mother. She wanted to keep these items in their memory.

Fengjue had someone prepare a submarine. Si Mingjing changed her clothes and brought a few guards with her.

As they searched for the private residence and drew near, they saw a submarine emerging from its waterproof layer.

Si Mingjing was surprised and asked Fengjue, who was sitting beside her, "Are you sure that villa, which seems quite spacious, is my maternal grandfather’s property in Mu Continent? How could there be someone living inside? Besides my mother, did my maternal grandfather have any other relatives?"

Fengjue didn’t know about this. However, relatives, there certainly were. The Si Family was thriving; Si Mingjing’s maternal grandfather had two brothers and three sisters.

Perhaps, with her maternal grandfather gone, they had simply inherited his private residence. Fengjue shared this analysis with Si Mingjing.

She then pointed at the submarine merging into the "traffic flow" and said with narrowed phoenix eyes, "Follow it. See who it is."

The submarine hadn’t noticed it was being followed. It drove around the undersea city for a while, then headed to the suburbs and stopped at a secluded café.

Si Mingjing couldn’t go inside; it would be too conspicuous.

She sent two guards to check out who it was, while she had their submarine parked further away, sitting inside to await news.

A few minutes later, a guard sent a video call to Fengjue.

Once the video call connected, the guard showed Si Mingjing a real-time feed of the scene inside the café.

With just one glance, Si Mingjing saw her nominal mother, Bai Chuanfeng?!

The woman sitting on the other side of Bai Chuanfeng—she recognized her too! It was a member of the Huo Family who had vanished without a trace after disappearing from A Country!

It was Huo Hailou’s father, Huo Liwen.

After Fengjue enlarged the holographic virtual screen, Si Mingjing sat inside the submarine, staring at Bai Chuanfeng and Huo Liwen. They’re meeting in such a secluded place... what are they plotting? Could they be intending to deal with me?

Si Mingjing’s interest was piqued. However, she could only see the images and not hear what they were discussing, which was frustrating.

Fengjue seemed to sense her frustration and said, "Crown Princess Consort, I can read lips. If you would like to know what they are talking about, I can translate for you."

"That would be great!"

He’s truly a guard left to me by Mo Yinhe—so capable, practically max-level!

Listening to Fengjue’s simultaneous translation, Si Mingjing smiled coldly. So, these two older people aren’t meeting in this secluded place for romance. It’s because they both have a common thorn in their side—me, Si Mingjing!

Huo Liwen’s son, Huo Hailou, had been killed by Mo Yinhe, and his business empire built over many years in A Country was destroyed in an instant. Huo Liwen held Si Mingjing responsible for all of it.

Si Mingjing gripped the key in her hand. This must be my maternal grandfather protecting me from beyond the grave. If it hadn’t been for the search for my maternal grandfather’s treasure, I wouldn’t have gone to the Si residence today, nor would I have followed that submarine here, only to overhear Bai Chuanfeng and Huo Liwen conspiring to kill me!
