My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband

Chapter 485: What to Do After Hindering Little Xiangru’s Effort?

Se Liunian stammered, "Your Majesty, I’m normal during the day, but at night I suffer from splitting headaches, sleepwalking, insomnia, and even violent tendencies. The doctors said it might not be a physical ailment, but a psychological one."

Si Mingjing was adept at discerning people’s true feelings. She noticed Se Liunian’s evasive gaze and the tremor in his voice as he spoke, leading her to suspect something was amiss.

Perhaps he isn’t sick at all!

Claiming to be sick without actually being sick... Is he trying to avoid marriage?

"Oh, I can only treat physical diseases. I’m powerless when it comes to psychological illnesses," Si Mingjing said.

After she finished speaking, she vaguely noticed a flicker of relief on Se Liunian’s face.

"In that case, I will take my leave," Si Mingjing said, standing up.

Se Liunian also stood up. "Your Majesty, let me see you out."

As Si Mingjing reached the entrance of the coffee shop, she glanced back at Se Liunian. "Your girlfriend loves you very much," she said. "For your health, she has prayed at the Dragon King Temple more than a dozen times, hoping for your swift recovery."

A fleeting shadow of sorrow crossed Se Liunian’s brow. He tried to conceal it, but Si Mingjing caught it.

After leaving the coffee shop and settling into the submarine, Si Mingjing said, "Look into this Se Liunian. See if he has other women on the side."

Song Yuan, sitting behind her, asked, "Your Majesty, are you suggesting...?"

"He claims to be sick but isn’t; there must be a reason for it," Si Mingjing noted.

Song Yuan nodded. "Yes."

Si Mingjing returned, disappointed. She had thought this task would be easy, given her medical expertise, but it had turned out to be the wrong kind.

Once a task is accepted, the problem must be solved for the petitioner. Otherwise, not only will she fail to accumulate merit, but corresponding merits will also be deducted, resulting in a net loss.

Si Mingjing regretted accepting the task so hastily; it had only caused trouble for Little Xiangru!

Song Yuan asked, "Your Majesty, where to now?"

Si Mingjing wanted to visit the private residence her grandfather had left her. She wondered if it was ready yet.

She called Fengjue. He informed her that all traces left by the Huo Family had been removed and the private residence restored to its original state. Fengjue was there at that very moment.

"To the private residence," Si Mingjing said.

Fengjue was waiting at the private residence. Upon Si Mingjing’s arrival, he promptly led her into a secret chamber.

Fengjue explained, "This secret chamber is well-hidden. It seems the Huo Family never discovered it, so everything inside remains untouched. I found a safe here. Crown Princess Consort, this way, please."

Song Yuan followed close behind, frowning slightly when he heard Fengjue still addressing Si Mingjing as "Crown Princess Consort."

This was one point on which Song Yuan and Fengjue had never reached an agreement.

In Song Yuan’s eyes, Si Mingjing was soon to become the most powerful Queen of the Mu Continent. In Fengjue’s eyes, however, Si Mingjing would always be the Crown Princess Consort of Atlantis.

Si Mingjing approached the safe.

The safe was embedded in the wall.

She took out a key and effortlessly opened it.

Inside, there was only a file folder and a small velvet box.

Within the velvet box was a watch.

Song Yuan, standing aside, remarked, "This is a designer watch from a brand quite famous on the Mu Continent. It’s nice, though not the best, and it was a sought-after model twenty or thirty years ago. My father also has a watch like this; it was one of the bridal gifts my mother gave him when they married."

Si Mingjing nodded and then opened the file folder.

The folder contained a photo, a paternity test report, and over a dozen property deeds—nothing else.

"Uh... is this the treasure Grandfather mentioned?"

She felt like her grandfather had tricked her!

Although she hadn’t come for treasure in the first place.

Si Mingjing picked up the photo. It showed a man, a woman, and a small baby. The woman lay in a hospital bed while the man sat beside her, holding the newborn.

Judging by his appearance, the man had to be her grandfather.

Why specifically keep a paternity test report?

Si Mingjing had always believed her grandfather had only one daughter: her mother.

Could it be that her grandfather had other children?

Si Mingjing noticed a series of numbers written on the back of the photo—a date.

So, this was the child’s birth date?

Calculating... exactly twenty years had passed. Is this child now twenty years old?

If her grandfather truly had other children, then is this child her younger uncle?

Si Mingjing called Xi Tan. "Uncle Xi, do you know if my grandfather had a son?"

Xi Tan replied, "Not that I know of. President Si only had one daughter, your mother."

It seemed Xi Tan was also unaware.

Xi Tan then asked, "Miss Si, have you finished with your matters? When will you return to Yecheng?"

"I can’t return to Yecheng for the time being. I’ll have to trouble you with things at the company."

Over the phone, Xi Tan spoke like an elder, reminding Si Mingjing to take care of her health. He then said, "Now that Lun Bobing is handling the old pharmaceutical affairs, I’m actually the most at ease. Miss Si, you have a knack for selecting talent; Lun Bobing is a rare find. You’re even better at recognizing and utilizing people than the old President Si."

Si Mingjing felt embarrassed by the praise. After a few brief instructions, she hung up and handed the photo to Song Yuan. "Find this child."

Song Yuan replied, "Yes."

Just then, Si Mingjing received a call. Seeing the caller ID—Xiaobai—her mood instantly brightened. "Xiaobai."

"Jingjing, this young master is getting angry!"

Ye Nianbai complained with a comically serious air over the phone, "Am I not Jingjing’s most doted-on little darling anymore?"

"Of course you are. Jingjing just can’t get away to be with you right now."

Ye Nianbai said secretively, "Jingjing, guess where this young master is right now?"

"Where?"

"Guess!"

Since Xiaobai was asking like that, could he have come to the Mu Continent?

Unsure and not daring to get her hopes too high, Si Mingjing hesitantly asked, "Did you and Dad come to the Mu Continent to see Jingjing?"

"WOW! Jingjing, how are you so smart? But HMPH, they won’t let this young master in! It’s infuriating!"

Ye Nianbai, stopped outside the Royal Palace gates, was about to explode with anger!

"Jingjing, come out and get this young master quickly! I brought you the tastiest cake—Great-Grandma made it herself! I couldn’t even bear to eat it on the way, saving it all for Jingjing. If you don’t come out soon, I’ll gobble it all up in one bite!"

"Wait there! Hand the phone to your dad."

"Okay."

Ye Nianbai reluctantly removed his earpiece and handed the phone to the tall and handsome Mo Yinhe.

Mo Yinhe chuckled softly. "Baby, I’ve missed you. Come out and greet me."

Si Mingjing’s heart instantly flew to the Royal Palace gates. She said, "I’m not at the Royal Palace. Wait for me a moment; I’ll be there shortly."

"Did you miss me?" Though they had only been apart for seven days, his tone made it seem like seven years.

Si Mingjing’s answer was a single, emphatic word: "Miss!" She added, "I didn’t expect you to arrive so quickly."

Mo Yinhe thought, Qu Liushang was already spreading it far and wide on social media that he was the man deeply in love with the Saintess. If he didn’t come soon, the people of the Mu Continent would have her divorce him and remarry!
