Chapter 488: Mother-in-law, Your Son-in-law Is Here! 1
Ye Nianbai pounced onto Da Bai’s body, his little chubby hands gently stroking him twice. Sensing his intentions, Da Bai knelt on his front hooves, allowing Ye Nianbai to jump off.
The little guy exuded an air of coolness, strutting with a swagger that screamed awesome and badass as he approached Ye Jingzhe. His lips were pursed, and his bright, large eyes looked Ye Jingzhe up and down.
Wow, this big brother looks so cool!
Ye Nianbai hardly admitted anyone could be cooler than him, but standing face to face with Ye Jingzhe, he couldn’t deny that this big brother had the same aloof aura exclusive to his dad—something he himself couldn’t emulate, and it somewhat intimidated him.
"My name is Ye Nianbai. What about you?"
"Ye Jingzhe."
"Wow! You have the same last name as me."
Ye Nianbai immediately felt a sense of kinship. "Are you Little Pangza’s boss?"
Ye Jingzhe frowned, disliking the nickname Gu Shurong was given. His voice was cold and stern, "Don’t call him that!"
"Oh. Can I play with you in the future?"
Ye Nianbai offered an olive branch, pointing to Da Bai. "I can lend you Da Bai to ride."
Ye Jingzhe was somewhat tempted, as he was indeed interested in Da Bai. Clamping his thin lips tight, he said, "As long as you don’t call him Little Pangza after this."
"Only if he stops calling me Rookie Bai."
Gu Shurong rolled his eyes. "You are a rookie anyway!"
"I’m your elder brother, show some respect!" Ye Nianbai attempted to assert his seniority.
Gu Shurong was unfazed and pulled Ye Jingzhe along to ride Da Bai, looking majestic and proud.
Si Mingjing came over pushing a small cart filled with various little cakes, sweet treats, fruit platters, and ice cream, calling the children over to eat.
After riding Da Bai for a round, Ye Jingzhe was pulled over by Gu Shurong to have some ice cream.
Si Mingjing, noticing his slight reserve, smiled and reached out to pat his little head. "Jingzhe, don’t be shy. Feel at home."
"Thank you, Auntie Si."
Ye Jingzhe liked the atmosphere, but he had never had ice cream before.
In the Undersea World, there were no places that sold ice cream.
All these treats were brought by Mo Yinhe from Yecheng.
Ye Jingzhe held an ice cream cone, licked it curiously, and found it cool and somewhat sweet.
"Boss, Boss, is it good?"
Gu Shurong had been very excited when he first tasted ice cream. It was like he had discovered a new world. That day, he ate five in a row and ended up with a stomachache.
Ye Jingzhe nodded slightly. "What is this?"
Gu Shurong refused to enlighten Ye Jingzhe. Laughing, he exclaimed, "HAHAHA, so the boss doesn’t know everything after all."
Sheng Liangliang spoke crisply, "Big Brother Ye, this is ice cream. I didn’t know what it was when I first had it, but it’s super tasty!"
Si Mingjing smiled serenely as she watched the children play together, letting them enjoy their time while she returned to the living room to continue chatting with her aunt.
「In the evening.」
They all gathered around for dinner.
Si Mingjing invited Bai Danfeng and Tao Chengzhou to spend the night in the Royal Palace instead of going back to the Bai Family home.
Bai Danfeng felt that with Bai Qingshui’s recent passing, the Bai Family would be short on hands to prepare for the funeral services. She needed to go back and help, so she rejected Si Mingjing’s offer.
Si Mingjing hesitated, wanting to say more.
She had been struggling at home recently, debating whether or not to tell Bai Danfeng the truth.
Fearing Bai Danfeng couldn’t handle it, Si Mingjing found herself holding back every time the words reached her lips.
Bai Danfeng had been through a car accident before and narrowly escaped death at Ghost Gate Pass. She was still recovering, and her body couldn’t endure much shock.
Si Mingjing, considering her physical condition, suppressed her feelings and said, "Okay."
After dinner and sending Bai Danfeng and Tao Chengzhou away, Mo Yinhe wrapped his arm around her shoulders. "Worried about your mother-in-law?"
"Mmm."
Si Mingjing leaned against Mo Yinhe’s shoulder. "She knows nothing and lives in a muddle."
Mo Yinhe said, "Understanding doesn’t always bring happiness. Sometimes, being muddled is actually a stroke of luck. Life, after all, it’s a rare blessing to be muddled."
Mo Yinhe was very good at comforting people, and Si Mingjing felt relieved.
Mo Yinhe then asked her, "How do you plan to deal with our dear mother-in-law?"
His tone was sarcastic, and he was clearly referring to Bai Chuanfeng.
Si Mingjing’s expression was resolute. "It’s good as it is now! She lost her son and then her daughter. Every plan she made not only failed to harm others but led her to lose both her children. I think she must be living a fate worse than death right now!"
This was the greatest punishment for the wicked.
Mo Yinhe lowered his head and kissed her forehead. "Don’t worry about her. Let’s go to sleep."
The couple found joy in their reunion after a short separation. The long night stretched before them, filled with endless anticipation for Mo Yinhe.
Si Mingjing, however, said, "I got my period."
Mo Yinhe, who was already carrying her sideways, had his handsome face cloud with gloom, and even his excited steps suddenly slowed.
Si Mingjing laughed, her laughter particularly joyful.
Then she whispered in his ear, "I lied."
Laughing, her eyes were especially charming and seductive; when she got playful, her eyes held a silken, playful allure.
Mo Yinhe looked down at her, tempted beyond measure. Not even waiting to get back to the room, he bent over and gave her a deep, passionate kiss.
He said, "Mingjing, you’re learning to be bad."
But he liked her badness!
「The next morning.」
Si Mingjing woke up in Mo Yinhe’s wide embrace. He held her tightly in his sleep, giving a sense of cherished joy.
Si Mingjing opened her eyes and traced the clear lines of Mo Yinhe’s jaw.
His jaw was attractive, with a sexy curve. Sleeping, with his eyes shut and lips pursed, he appeared stern, like someone not to be trifled with.
But when awake, his dark eyes opened to see her in his arms, and his gaze immediately softened the sternness on his handsome face.
Mo Yinhe pinched her face. "Waking up so early?"
"Today is Bai Qingshui’s funeral. I need to get there early."
While wrapping one arm around her waist and using the other as a pillow to support the back of her head, Mo Yinhe said, "What’s there for you to attend? Do you still need to put on an act with Bai Chuanfeng? You both know each other’s minds by now. She just wants you dead and is probably preparing a knife to stab you the moment she sees you."
Si Mingjing pinched Mo Yinhe’s waist firmly. "Do you have to curse me like this?"
Mo Yinhe smiled sheepishly, searching for her lips, wanting a kiss.
He mocked her lightheartedly, confident in her abilities.
She had long proven her capability to him. She was more than capable of protecting herself.
Mo Yinhe admired her and wanted to pamper her even more. He liked a woman who was his equal in strength.
Si Mingjing didn’t let him kiss her. Pushing him away, she got up and chose a black long dress, saying, "I’m not doing this for Bai Chuanfeng to see. It’s for others. She was my sister. Of course, I should be there now that she has passed away. And if necessary, I can even shed a few crocodile tears."
"You mean, a cute dragon’s tears."
Mo Yinhe corrected her, lazily lying on the bed and unabashedly watching her change clothes. His gaze traced her graceful figure, imagining how tempting her body had been in his arms the night before, stirring an eager restlessness within him.
Before Si Mingjing could even leave the bedroom, he carried her back to bed, and they passionately loved each other once again.
