My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband

Chapter 506: Ye Siyuan Discovers a Big Secret! 1

When Ye Siyuan sat down, the table was still empty. After five minutes, someone finally arrived—it was Bo Leng with his beloved wife.

After Bo Leng arrived, he first pulled out a chair for his wife. Once she was seated, he casually took the seat next to her. He placed Mo Yinhe’s dowry list on his lap and began to read it slowly, unsmiling and taciturn, his profile cold and serene.

Bo Leng’s wife was named Lou Manman. Ye Siyuan had heard gossip about them. It was said that Bo Leng had pursued his wife relentlessly, so much so that he even missed the critical contest with Si Lisao for the Crown Prince position. Consequently, some people gave him the nickname ’The Long Road of Chasing His Wife’—a vivid and descriptive moniker, especially as the phrase ’long road’ within the nickname happened to be his wife’s very name, Lou Manman.

"Hello, are you the Second Princess of Atlantis?" Lou Manman took the initiative to greet Ye Siyuan, starting the conversation. "Your lipstick is very pretty. What brand is it?"

Ye Siyuan subconsciously pressed her full, red lips together and gave Lou Manman a faint smile.

Conversation between women often starts easily. She told Lou Manman about the lipstick, "If you like it, I’ll have someone send some to you. What shade do you prefer? This lipstick comes in 24 shades. I’ll send you the complete set so you can try them and see which one you like best. Your skin looks especially good, so I think shade 539 would suit you well. You should try it."

"In that case, I’ll gladly accept!"

Returning the favor, Lou Manman recommended a marine-based face mask to Ye Siyuan, saying, "I’ll send some to you as well. You should try it; it makes your skin look as good as mine does now."

Ye Siyuan was very tempted. "Really? Then I must try it."

The two of them had initially been sitting somewhat apart, but as they chatted, they moved closer. They showed each other their skincare secrets on their smartphones and seemed to hit it off very well.

When Si Lisao walked over, he was somewhat surprised to see them chatting so amicably.

He changed the place card on the table, pulled out the seat beside Ye Siyuan, and sat down, greeting Lou Manman, "Sister-in-law."

Then, much like the taciturn Bo Leng, he sat with a composed and profound expression, a quiet, handsome man. He also took Mo Yinhe’s dowry list from his pocket and perused it carefully on his lap.

Mo Yinhe’s dowry list spanned several pages. Bo Leng and Si Lisao had each snatched half of it. As for which half contained the spaceship...

Later, six more people took their seats: Lu Jinyi, Gu Changbin, Sheng Liuyun, Yun Yin, Su Zhi, and Xi Jinrong.

After they arrived, the atmosphere changed, and the air around the dinner table grew tense.

Lu Jinyi saw the dowry list on Bo Leng’s lap and wished he could pounce on it and wrestle it away. However, Su Zhi and Xi Jinrong sat between him and Bo Leng, both keeping a vigilant eye on him, as if ready to act as bodyguards and block Lu Jinyi with an impenetrable wall!

This was because the half of the list detailing the spaceship was in Bo Leng’s hands!

At that moment, Bo Leng put away the dowry list, folded it, and tucked it into his trouser pocket.

He said, "It’s rare for all of us to gather like this. Let’s talk."

"Talk about what?" Lu Jinyi asked, suppressing his irritation.

"The betrothal gifts!"

Mo Yinhe’s dowry was so generous that they couldn’t possibly fail to offer betrothal gifts in return. Otherwise, word would get out that the Mu Continent couldn’t afford to give any to Atlantis!

Bo Leng’s meaning was clear: naturally, the brothers should prepare the betrothal gifts for Si Mingjing.

After all, Si Mingjing was their only sister!

"We’ll each contribute a share. Any objections?"

Bo Leng’s words were concise and to the point.

Si Lisao also put away his half of the list. Although he hadn’t managed to get the part detailing the spaceship, the dowry items on his portion were still very significant. He said, "It’s settled then. Everyone send a summary of their betrothal gifts to me by tomorrow evening."

Just then, Mo Yinhe and Si Mingjing arrived.

Everyone promptly dropped the topic of the dowry and betrothal gifts.

The state banquet officially began. Waitstaff brought out dishes in succession, and in the distant performance area, a grand song and dance spectacle unfolded. It was scheduled to be broadcast nationwide the following day. Each act was of exceptionally high quality, blending the traditional culture of the Mu Continent with modern fashion, proving to be a true feast for the eyes and a delightful experience.

The guests savored their dinner while appreciating the performances, thoroughly enjoying the entertainment.

Su Zhi was sitting beside Mo Yinhe. He rarely took the initiative to pour drinks for others. Mo Yinhe poured Su Zhi a drink and said, "Prince Su, come, let me offer you a toast."

Su Zhi picked up his glass. Just as it reached his lips, he heard Mo Yinhe ask casually, "Prince Su, do you happen to have any Little Dragon cubs at home?"

"COUGH, COUGH, COUGH..."

Su Zhi choked violently on his drink, spluttering.

"Why do you ask?"

"Oh, nothing. As the Empress and Mother of the Nation of the Mu Continent, it’s only right for me to show some concern," Mo Yinhe replied, setting down his glass and looking at Su Zhi with a meaningful smile. "I’m just trying to adapt to my new role. Why are you getting so agitated?"

Realizing his reaction had been too strong, Su Zhi quickly composed himself. "Nonsense! I have two sons. Are you asking if I have Little Dragon cubs? Are you questioning my virility? How could I not be agitated? If someone said you were incapable, wouldn’t you fly into a rage?"

Mo Yinhe pressed further, "Oh? And are they both your biological children?"

Su Zhi erupted, "What, do you think you gave birth to them?"

Mo Yinhe merely chuckled and said nothing more. He then turned to Xi Jinrong. "Prince Xi, and you? Do you have any?"

"Yes, three children," Xi Jinrong responded calmly.

Mo Yinhe raised his glass to him. "Why not bring them to the Imperial Capital?"

Xi Jinrong also raised his glass, clinking it with Mo Yinhe’s. "They’re busy with schoolwork. If you’re interested, you’re welcome to visit my home sometime. You can see them to your heart’s content then."

"I certainly will."

Mo Yinhe set his glass down, his gaze sweeping around the table. "So, esteemed Princes of the Dragon Clan, you are all my wife’s elder brothers? What’s the order of seniority?"

Si Lisao and Bo Leng remained quiet, not joining the conversation.

Yun Yin spoke up, "I’m the third eldest."

"Third Brother-in-law, allow me to toast you. Thank you for taking such good care of my Xiaosu. I truly appreciate it," Mo Yinhe said, filling another glass for himself. He planned to toast each of them in turn. The past is past, best left unmentioned. Since they’ve acknowledged our marriage and allowed us to hold this grand wedding, I’m ready to accept them as my brothers-in-law. That’s just how it is: show respect, and you’ll receive it back tenfold. Mingjing longs for family affection, I know that. Having so many elder brothers is sure to fill her with joy. I’m willing to protect this kinship for her sake.

Gu Changbin, the liveliest of them all, raised his glass high. "Brother-in-law, come, let me introduce everyone! Bo Leng is the eldest, Xi Jinrong is second, Yun Yin is third, I’m fourth, Sheng Liuyun is the fifth, Su Zhi is sixth, Si Lisao is seventh, and Lu Jinyi is the eighth."
