Chapter 486 Ye Jingzhe and Gu Shurong Finally Reunited! 1
Thinking of Mo Yinhe and the children being stopped outside the Royal Palace, Si Mingjing felt an urgent longing to return. She quickly made her way back to the Royal Palace of Mu Continent.
By the time she arrived, Mo Yinhe had already entered. He was leisurely strolling through the back garden of the Royal Palace of Mu Continent, as if assessing whether his future home suited his fancy.
Ye Nianbai, Sheng Liangliang, Yun Xiaosu, and Gu Shurong were chasing each other around the vast Royal Palace square.
Si Mingjing strode across the Royal Palace square. From a distance, she saw an incredibly stunning, almost devilishly handsome face and a flawless figure, perfect from every angle. Mo Yinhe stood with his hands clasped behind his back, watching her from afar, an unspoken tenderness in his eyes.
Si Mingjing quickened her pace and ran toward him.
Mo Yinhe had missed her terribly. When she drew near, he pulled her fiercely into his embrace. Her delicate skin, carrying a faint, pleasing fragrance, wafted into his nostrils.
The aroma of Zhanlong Fragrance on him also sweetly tempted Si Mingjing.
Their eyes met, and sparks flew like fire meeting dry tinder. Mo Yinhe cradled her face with both hands and gave her a deep, ardent kiss.
"I missed you." After kissing her until her body went soft, Mo Yinhe gently pinched her rounded chin twice, his voice exceptionally soft, as if cherishing the moment.
"Jingjing, I missed you too! The day after tomorrow is my birthday. Have you prepared a gift for me?"
Ye Nianbai pounced over, hugged Si Mingjing’s leg, and forcefully pushed Mo Yinhe away, wanting to monopolize his mom.
With the flush still on her cheeks, Si Mingjing shot a placating glance at the scowling Mo Yinhe, then picked up Ye Nianbai and kissed him on each cheek.
"Miss you? Of course, I miss you! Mom has already prepared your birthday gift."
Hearing this, Ye Nianbai became smug and delighted.
He wrapped his arms tightly around Si Mingjing, refusing to give his dad any chance to steal Jingjing away. This angered Mo Yinhe so much that he nearly raised his hand to spank his son.
Meanwhile, during the family reunion, Gu Shurong took the opportunity when no one was paying attention to sneak away from the Royal Palace and go to the school to find Ye Jingzhe.
He had brought Ye Jingzhe many tasty treats—a whole backpack full!
School was still in session.
Gu Shurong, carrying his small backpack, stood nonchalantly at the classroom door and called out crisply, "Reporting in!"
The teacher hadn’t seen Gu Shurong for a long time. Upon suddenly seeing this restless underachiever, he found he’d actually missed him a little. Feigning fierceness, he said, "Late again."
"HEE HEE HEE." Gu Shurong, accustomed to his own cheekiness, immediately scurried to his usual seat, plopped down, tilted his head, and flashed a lopsided grin at the shocked Ye Jingzhe.
"Boss, surprised? Amazed? The moment I got back to Mu Continent, I came to see you!"
The undisguised pleasure in Ye Jingzhe’s eyes made it seem as if a ray of warm sunshine had touched his usually icy little face. He struggled to control himself, responding with a faint, muted "Mm," and said, "Class is in session. No talking."
Gu Shurong paid no mind. He took off his small backpack, placed it in front of him, unzipped it, and showed Ye Jingzhe. "Boss, Boss! Look how much yummy stuff I brought you! Boss, you’ve gotten thinner! It must be because I haven’t been here to feed you. That’s why you’ve lost weight. My heart aches for you."
"So noisy!" Ye Jingzhe’s voice was full of disdain.
God only knew how much he actually cherished Gu Shurong’s current chatter.
His thin lips couldn’t help but curl upwards.
"Boss! Boss! You smiled! I knew it! You couldn’t possibly not miss me."
Ye Jingzhe struggled to smooth the curve of his lips, whispering, "Quiet!"
The teacher at the podium couldn’t stand this underachiever any longer. He hadn’t been seen for months, and the moment he returned to the classroom, he was disrupting the top student’s concentration. This kid is truly a hopeless case!
The teacher coughed loudly. "Gu Shurong, one more word and you’re out!"
Only then did Gu Shurong close his little mouth and quiet down.
But then, he immediately flopped onto his desk and pretended to sleep, doing so quite blatantly.
The teacher was speechless. "..."
He really shouldn’t have been happy about this kid returning to class!
Gu Shurong wasn’t actually sleeping. He merely struck a sleeping pose. He stealthily took a bag of snacks from his small backpack. While the teacher’s back was turned, writing on the blackboard, he quickly stuffed a snack into Ye Jingzhe’s mouth, then resumed his sleeping act as if nothing had happened.
The thrill of being able to continue feeding his boss made his little heart soar!
Finally, the bell signaling the end of class rang. Gu Shurong immediately gave Ye Jingzhe a crushing bear hug, squeezing him so tightly he could barely breathe.
Ye Jingzhe pushed him away with a look of disdain and asked with feigned aloofness, "Why are you back on Mu Continent? So, you actually remembered to come back to Mu Continent? I thought you’d forgotten what country you’re from!"
After speaking, he started tugging at Gu Shurong’s shirttail, pulling it out from where it was tucked into his pants. He wanted to check if there was an insulin pump on his stomach.
On the smooth, pale skin of his little belly, there was no insulin pump.
Ye Jingzhe’s mood instantly brightened. "Did your mom really cure your illness?"
"Of course! Our mom is super awesome! Boss, my mom is your mom too. From now on, you can call her Mom!"
Gu Shurong was willing to share everything with Ye Jingzhe, including his parents.
"My dad is super nice too! He knows I don’t like studying, so instead of making me go to school, he found the best tutors to teach me about aerospace privately. My dad says there are no bad students in the world, only a lack of mentors like Bole, who can recognize talent and teach according to a student’s aptitude!"
Gu Shurong was bragging proudly.
Listening to this, Ye Jingzhe felt even more envious. He tried hard to suppress his envy and not let it show.
"Boss, I also have a brother and a sister! Come to my house tonight, and I’ll introduce them to you. My sister is super cute and adorable~~"
Ye Jingzhe felt a flicker of interest. "Can I?"
"We’ll go right after school!"
For the first time, Ye Jingzhe found waiting for school to end a bit agonizing.
He even considered skipping class.
When school finally ended, the two little guys made a beeline for the Royal Palace.
When they reached the main palace building, Ye Jingzhe hesitated again.
Seeing Ye Jingzhe suddenly stop, Gu Shurong was puzzled. "Boss, come on, let’s go."
"I... I think I shouldn’t go."
Ye Jingzhe was afraid of seeing other families happily reunited, enjoying their domestic bliss. He feared he wouldn’t be able to appreciate it and would instead feel jealous.
Jealousy could breed inner demons—a truth Ye Jingzhe understood even at his young age.
"What’s wrong? We’re already here."
Gu Shurong paid no heed and insisted on dragging Ye Jingzhe inside, chattering endlessly, "I have this smug older brother who’s always trying to get the better of me. I have to show him that you’re the only one who can put me in my place! Let’s go show him what’s what!"
Ye Jingzhe was extremely protective of his friends. He squinted his small, dark eyes. "Your brother bullies you?"
"Not really bully, no. He just always tries to boss me around and even calls me ’Little Pangza’!" (He, of course, also called Ye Nianbai ’Rookie Bai’!)
"Oh."
Allowing himself to be persuaded, Ye Jingzhe was half-pushed, half-pulled into the Royal Palace by Gu Shurong.
The two little guys wandered around the Royal Palace for a good part of the day before finally finding Si Mingjing and Mo Yinhe in the living room of the palace’s rear courtyard.
