My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband

Chapter 493: Xiaobai’s Birthday! 2

Yet at the banquet, his tone was laden with sarcasm. "Qu Liushang, you really are at leisure. I heard that your brothers are fighting to the death for the Crown Prince title, and here you are, indolently staying in Mu Continent as a nonchalant Prince? Aren’t you afraid that upon returning to Gendaya, the Crown Prince position, originally yours, will once again slip through your fingers?"

"You needn’t concern yourself with that."

In fact, Qu Liushang hadn’t stayed on Mu Continent for long. Each time, he stayed for no more than a day or two before returning to Gendaya. As for the reason...

Qu Liushang lifted his eyes and looked at Mo Yinhe. It was all Mo Yinhe’s doing, fanning the flames behind the scenes. All my brothers are now stirred up and vying for the Crown Prince position, leaving me completely overstretched.

The last time he came to Mu Continent was for Si Mingjing’s family recognition banquet. He had wanted to dance with her, but it turned out to be Ye Siyuan who had masqueraded as her.

This time, having heard that she had become the Saintess of Mu Continent, Qu Liushang hastened over.

He had arrived on Mu Continent at three in the afternoon and had only been there for a few hours. How could he possibly have the leisure or inclination to stay on Mu Continent as a nonchalant Prince?

Mo Yinhe is despicable! Qu Liushang thought.

As if reading the words in Qu Liushang’s eyes, Mo Yinhe sneered inwardly. Not find something to drive you back to Gendaya? Should I just let you stay on Mu Continent and spy on my woman?

Dream on!

Holding his wine glass, Mo Yinhe smiled enigmatically. "After all, having been brothers for so many years, how could I possibly not care about your affairs? But someone shamelessly claims to be the person who has accumulated merits for the Saintess over many years. Aren’t they afraid of being struck by lightning?"

"I’m merely speaking the truth!" Qu Liushang’s expression was unchanging, his smile cultured, brilliant, and gentle.

Si Mingjing wore a ruby and diamond earring, its bewitching red light complementing her fair complexion.

Sitting beside Mo Yinhe, she also questioned Qu Liushang, "Crown Prince Qu, do you have any proof?"

Qu Liushang smiled meaningfully without a word.

Si Mingjing pursed her lips slightly. Does Qu Liushang think I’ve forgotten, so he can just impersonate someone else?

"I hope that Crown Prince Qu won’t make such groundless jokes in the future," Si Mingjing said icily. "I know who has been good to me and who has given up everything for me. It’s not something that can be falsely claimed as true by anyone shouting a few lines on social media!"

She unabashedly scolded Qu Liushang for being shameless!

Sheng Liuyun couldn’t stand it and stood up to speak for Qu Liushang. "Little Sister, I can vouch for him. The man who has always been silently supporting you from behind is him!"

Si Mingjing narrowed her eyes, looking at Sheng Liuyun with a sharp glint in her gaze.

The others present also turned their attention to Sheng Liuyun.

Si Lisao said in a deep voice, "Evidence."

Sheng Liuyun spoke fervently, "In a secret compartment within the Royal Palace’s underground library, there is a portrait. Written on it are the words: ’The man who loves the Saintess most.’ If you don’t believe me, go check the underground library for yourselves! When I was young, I found the secret compartment while browsing the archives in the library!"

Otherwise, why would I be so eager to pair Qu Liushang with my little sister? It’s because I thought Qu Liushang was the man who had silently supported her from behind!

Sheng Liuyun rose abruptly. "If you don’t believe me, I’ll retrieve it, and you’ll see for yourselves."

Sheng Liuyun was quick to act. It took him no more than five minutes to extract the ancient portrait from the secret compartment of the underground library.

The portrait was well preserved, and it was evident that the man depicted bore an exact resemblance to Qu Liushang!

"Little Sister, do you believe it now?"

Sheng Liuyun was full of confidence. It’s important to let my little sister know who the man truly worthy of her affection is! he thought.

Sheng Liuyun was filled with gratitude and respect for the man who had been silently supporting his sister from behind.

The one and only brother-in-law for my sister is him, only him! No one else is worthy! Sheng Liuyun believed.

Qu Liushang maintained a lazy demeanor as he looked at Mo Yinhe, his eyes revealing a sense of assured victory.

Mo Yinhe remained silent but gripped Si Mingjing’s hand tightly.

Si Mingjing said, "It’s just a portrait."

Sheng Liuyun pointed to the antique long box that held the portrait. "But there are words written on it!"

Si Mingjing glanced at it, unmoved. "So what? It only proves that the man in the portrait likes the Saintess. It doesn’t prove that he made any sacrifices for her! Big Brother, what do you think?"

Si Mingjing’s gaze fell on Yun Yin. He knows. Yun Yin knows who the man truly was that made silent sacrifices for me, she believed.

"I do not know!" Yun Yin said.

The river of history was too long; he had long forgotten his earliest memories.

Yun Yin feared Si Mingjing wouldn’t believe him, so he repeated with a serious tone, "Little Sister, all I can remember is you."

His expression told Si Mingjing that he was not lying. She sighed. Let it be.

I’m an amnesiac myself. How can I expect others to remember?

Besides, Mo Yinhe has forgotten as well.

"Jingjing, cut the cake."

Ye Nianbai interrupted, breaking up their conversation. Si Mingjing wasn’t keen to continue the subject either, so she picked Xiaobai up and said, "Let’s go cut the cake."

The others followed.

Sheng Liuyun said, "Hey, I’m serious! Don’t you believe me?"

The other brothers withheld their opinions.

Sheng Liuyun was frustrated.

Sheng Liuyun wrapped his arm around Qu Liushang’s and said, "Let’s go. I believe you. You will always be the only brother-in-law in my heart."

Qu Liushang curled his lips in a meaningful smile.

The children gathered around the cake, excitedly singing the birthday song for Xiaobai and urging him to close his eyes and make a wish.

Xiaobai closed his eyes, his delicate, jade-like face etched with mystery. It was unclear what wish he was making, but his little expression was cool, and he seemed happy.

Si Mingjing held him, giving him the height advantage needed to cut the cake perfectly.

Each child got a slice of cake, which they loved.

Later, Qu Liushang found an opportunity to speak with Si Mingjing alone.

His gaze was intense as he looked at her. "You don’t believe it?"

Si Mingjing faintly curved her lips, then suddenly leaned in close, tiptoeing as if she were going to kiss him.

Qu Liushang’s breathing became ragged.

His fingers tensed, waiting for Si Mingjing’s next move.

Suddenly, Si Mingjing stepped back mockingly and said, "Do you know what I just experienced?"

Qu Liushang was puzzled.

Si Mingjing continued leisurely, "The moment I drew close to you, there was a Demon King in my heart. He was yelling wildly in my head. Do you know who that Demon King is?"

Qu Liushang took the opportunity to ask her, "Who is it?"

"He’s the man who silently sacrificed for me, helped me leap over the Dragon Sect’s threshold and be reborn from the ashes! Qu Liushang, you also claim to be that man, but the moment I got close to you, he yelled so fiercely in my heart. Do you still think you have the right to proclaim loudly in the media that you are him?"
