Chapter 815: Xiaobai Ranks First
Si Mingjing looked at the renderings, a modernized space base, full of design flair.
Bo Leng, truly worthy of being a Dragon Clan big shot, even the appearance of the aerospace base buildings was adorned with carved dragons and phoenixes, with a giant dragon spiraling up majestically and dominantly. It was said that this was suggested by Xiaobai and Fengyin to Bo Leng.
The groundbreaking ceremony was scheduled to take place in an hour.
Not many people were present, as Bo Leng preferred to keep things low-key.
The more you flaunt something before it’s accomplished, the more likely it is to fail, so only Si Mingjing and her husband, Bo Leng and his wife, the chief engineer of the space base, and the team members attended the groundbreaking ceremony.
Bo Fengyin kept holding a small hoe, saying, "This Little Dragon wants to dig the first spadeful of earth, and no one is allowed to compete with this Little Dragon."
Ye Nianbai scoffed, not even bothering to hold a small hoe, saying, "This Young Master said he wouldn’t compete with you, and he won’t. This Young Master always keeps his word. And none of you should compete with my brother, or this Young Master will wipe you out!"
Mo Yinhe nudged Si Mingjing’s arm, saying, "Madam, control your son, using power like a fox exploiting a tiger’s might."
Si Mingjing laughed, "Isn’t he your son too?"
Bo Leng’s cool voice carried warmth as he stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the azure sky, saying, "Aerospace development isn’t an overnight affair. It requires future generations to invest in it. No one will compete with you for this. Uncle hopes you will carry on with this endeavor, exploring wider skies."
Bo Fengyin and Ye Nianbai listened attentively.
Bo Fengyin nodded seriously with a grave expression, "Uncle, I remember."
"Okay, dig."
Bo Fengyin, the little dragon cub, grasped the small hoe with both hands and forcefully dug the first spadeful of earth, and immediately the salute guns rang out in celebration.
Dozens of excavators, poised and ready, moved into action at just a gesture from Bo Leng.
The sound of excavators digging earth echoed from all sides.
Later, Si Mingjing and the others went to a high vantage point, overlooking the excavators working at the site, feeling buoyant.
Si Mingjing’s thoughts were suddenly drawn to a distant alien planet.
She gazed at the sky and said to Mo Yinhe, "Do you know? During those years on the Prison Star, my greatest wish was to possess a spaceship. Various ideas of hijacking spaceships crossed my mind, even thinking about escaping from the Joint Prison Star with all the prisoners together, but those damn spaceships never landed. They always forced the prisoners sent to the Prison Star to parachute down from a few hundred meters altitude, leaving me helpless."
Mo Yinhe’s heart twinged as he listened, feeling uncomfortable.
That was his planet, under his fleet’s command.
He naturally knew that the prisoners on the Prison Star were desperadoes, and to prevent them from hijacking spaceships, his capable ministers must have thought of various defense measures, intended to guard against others but ultimately trapping her.
Mo Yinhe held her hand tightly.
The words "I’m sorry" were too light, devoid of meaning once spoken.
Mo Yinhe’s apology was all reflected in his deep eyes, as he felt pained for her.
Bo Leng also heard her words and said, "A gentleman’s revenge is never too late, and now the culprit is right here, so what are you waiting for?"
Si Mingjing chuckled softly, "Big brother, we have a great relationship in our marriage, don’t stir up trouble."
Bo Leng said, "If it’s so great, then why have you been having fevers in the middle of the night? I heard your little sister-in-law produced some Regret Medicine, and you wanted to save Si Yao’s fate, but the results were not as expected?"
Si Mingjing was astonished, how did big brother know this?
Did he plant a spy next to her?
Bo Leng was indeed a cold man, and he rebuked on the spot, "Everyone has their fate. Even if you change Si Yao’s fate, or your own, can you wipe away all the hardships you endured? You have already suffered and persevered, so why cling to the past? Do you want to stay on Earth and be as tall as Fengyin? By then, should Fengyin call you mother or sister?"
Si Mingjing understood Bo Leng’s intention, she huffed, "Big brother, you truly are a cold man!"
"What I’m saying is the truth! Do you want Mo Yinhe to raise you until you grow up? By the time you grow up, he would be old; by then would you still be interested in him? Are you wasting time on nonsense out of sheer boredom?"
Bo Leng would reprimand people without mercy.
Mo Yinhe touched his chin, full of confidence, "I won’t age that easily. Just look at my father’s current appearance, even in another twenty years, Mingjing, would you still fancy me?"
Bo Leng doused him with a cold splash, "Some things you find inconvenient to say, I’ll say them for you. Don’t play the act of getting something for nothing and then show off! Do you hope she’s just a six-year-old child’s size now? Speak with your conscience!"
Bo Leng did not approve of Si Mingjing dwelling on the past!
When adversity is over, one should cherish the now and the future!
Moreover, he didn’t wish for her to be a child!
Mu Continent doesn’t need a six-year-old queen, but a young and wise queen!
Mo Yinhe thought, "As long as she didn’t suffer on the Prison Star, I don’t care how old she is."
Bo Leng snorted, feeling Mo Yinhe was truly hypocritical!
Perhaps he really didn’t mind, and he was indeed unwilling to see the little sister suffer on the Prison Star, but Bo Leng always felt that since she had already endured the hardships, and had emerged from them, there was no need to alter past fates!
The deceased are gone, so why think of changing their fate?
In the end, hopes would be dashed, worries sought out on one’s own, and even catching a fever was asking to suffer!
Bo Leng directly commanded, "Stop thinking about these ideas in the future!"
Si Mingjing remained silent, whether or not she heeded Bo Leng’s words was unknown for the moment.
Si Mingjing shifted the topic, she said, "How long will it take to build the space base?"
"About half a year."
Si Mingjing was very much looking forward to it, "When it’s completed, I want to come again. By then, big brother, how about naming the first spaceship ’Wang Gui’?"
"What does it mean?"
"No matter how far the spaceships that fly out from here may go, they must remember that here, they have family waiting for their return. The world is vast, but where family resides is home."
Bo Leng remained silent, nodding slightly.
Mo Yinhe embraced her, knowing that ’Wang Gui’ had another meaning in her heart.
Once upon a time, stranded on the Prison Star, what she longed for most was a spaceship hoping to return to Earth.
At this moment, Mo Yinhe received a phone call, it was from the domestic foreign department, informing that the Gendaya Country’s foreign department had sent an invitation, inviting both Mo Yinhe and Si Mingjing to attend the new king’s enthronement ceremony in Gendaya.
Mo Yinhe squinted his dark eyes and sneered, "His father just died, hasn’t even been buried yet, and he’s so impatient to ascend to the throne? Not worried his father might jump out from the coffin? Qu Liushang is becoming more and more impatient!"
