My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband

Chapter 816: Xiaobai Ranked First 2

Si Mingjing also felt that Qu Liushang was indeed in a bit of a hurry.

Bo Leng stood by and said, "If he doesn’t take control now, is he going to wait for the state funeral and let his other brothers fight against him?"

Bo Leng’s words hit the nail on the head. This is a matter that should be settled sooner rather than later; delay could lead to complications.

Mo Yinhe hung up the phone and asked Bo Leng, "Brother-in-law, who exactly is your brother-in-law?"

Bo Leng couldn’t be bothered with Mo Yinhe anymore; he walked aside to discuss business with the chief engineer.

Si Mingjing asked Mo Yinhe, "Are you going?"

"Of course, why not? Qu Liushang is my brother. How can a brother be absent at a time like this?"

Mo Yinhe made it sound grand and righteous, but Si Mingjing thought he wasn’t entirely well-intentioned.

Brothers indeed, but merely fair-weather ones!

Si Mingjing thought the island’s scenery was lovely. It had been a long time since she breathed fresh air on land, and she wanted to explore around. Mo Yinhe then called over the two kids, and the family of four strolled together.

Ye Nianbai and Bo Fengyin chased each other in front. After playing for a while, they suddenly ran back and asked, "Jingjing, do you want some coconut juice?"

"Oh, is there any on the island?"

"Jingjing, wait here. I’ll go pick some coconuts for you~~"

Si Mingjing played around with the two children, as Mo Yinhe led her towards the beach.

The early spring chill occasionally sent a gust of wind carrying the ocean’s scent toward them, making Si Mingjing instinctively pull her coat tighter. Mo Yinhe then wrapped her in his embrace, opened his own coat, and wrapped her snugly.

Si Mingjing asked him, "How do you plan to disrupt Qu Liushang’s wedding?"

Mo Yinhe pinched her ear, "Mingjing, you really don’t know how to speak. Qu Liushang is my brother. After all these years as a bachelor, he’s finally come around to the idea of marriage. Of course, I’ll bring my most sincere blessings. Why would I disrupt it? I’m eager for him to marry soon and have kids as only becoming a father makes a man settle down."

Si Mingjing raised her eyes to look at her, "You too."

"I’m different. From birth, my heart has only housed one precious baby. Who else but her in this life?"

Si Mingjing was amused and said, "Slick-tongued! If you’re not going to tell me, then never mind."

Mo Yinhe then lowered his voice, leaned close to her ear, and whispered for a while.

After hearing, Si Mingjing lifted her leg and stepped on his foot, "You’re really a good brother."

Mo Yinhe told her about a saying that was popular on the continent decades ago.

"What saying?"

"Brothers are like arms and legs, wives are like clothes. Anyone who touches my clothes, I’ll sever his arms and legs!"

Si Mingjing savored the saying, laughed and kicked him, "Scoundrel, comparing me to clothes. I’m not clothes!"

Mo Yinhe didn’t dodge and received the kick squarely. Her strength was light, like tickling from a distance. Mo Yinhe grabbed her hand, lifted it to his mouth, and gave it a kiss, "Mingjing, how about letting me be the clothes, so you can wear me every day?"

Si Mingjing kicked him again, this time even harder, "Dream on! Stop fooling around. Let’s talk business. If you do this, Qu Liushang will hate you to the bones, itching to kill you!"

"You think he doesn’t already want to kill me now? With things as they are, what need is there for fake niceties? He dared to hire a stand-in to disgust me, if I don’t give him a taste of his own medicine, he’ll think I grew up eating vegetables!"

Mo Yinhe was set on his plan. If Qu Liushang dared to disgust him, he would disgust him back double!

"Jingjing, look!" Ye Nianbai came over joyfully holding two large coconuts.

Bo Fengyin also held two large coconuts, a fruitful harvest.

Ye Nianbai offered the largest coconut to Si Mingjing like a treasure, "Jingjing, this big one is for you."

"Wonderful." Si Mingjing affectionately ruffled Ye Nianbai’s little head.

Bo Fengyin handed the largest one he had to Mo Yinhe and said, "Daddy, do you want it?"

Mo Yinhe felt this was truly his own son!

The family of four sat on the beach, drinking coconut juice.

Ye Nianbai burped, "Jingjing, when can I go home? I miss grandpa, grandma, great-grandpa, and great-grandma."

Si Mingjing patted his head, "Just a few more months, stay here with your uncle and don’t wander around."

The last time he sneaked back home, his frail health couldn’t withstand it. He had a high fever all night after being sent to Shendu by the Crown Prince, and only got better after his elder brother sent him to soak in the Dragon Pond for a few hours.

Ye Nianbai was grumpy and not pleased; he missed home.

"Jingjing, will you stay and accompany me?"

As long as Jingjing was there, young master would be fine anywhere.

Mo Yinhe said, "Jingjing and Daddy are going to congratulate your godfather?"

"What happy event does godfather have?"

Mo Yinhe smirked, "Your godfather is getting married."

Because godfather was getting married, young master couldn’t spend more days with Jingjing?

Ye Nianbai was grumpy, unhappy.

Mo Yinhe successfully diverted the trouble, making Qu Liushang the thorn in Ye Nianbai’s side.

Mo Yinhe greatly enjoyed the leisurely life sitting by the beach, so they stayed for two full hours until Bo Leng and Lou Manman came looking for them. Only then did they leave the island together, returning to the Prince Residence for dinner.

Bo Leng and Mo Yinhe drank and discussed the next day’s plans.

"Are you going to Gendaya to congratulate tomorrow?"

Mo Yinhe raised his glass to clink with Bo Leng’s.

He grinned wickedly, not like he was going to congratulate, but more like he was going to cause trouble.

Bo Leng knew he wouldn’t hold back, and reminded him, "Take it easy."

"Don’t worry, brother-in-law, I know what I’m doing."

Gentlemen use words, not fists. Mo Yinhe understood that even a strong dragon couldn’t suppress a local snake. Since he was going to cause trouble on someone else’s turf, he couldn’t be blatant about it; he had to cause trouble while keeping himself completely clean!

At least, appear completely clean!

That night, Ye Nianbai insisted on sleeping with Si Mingjing, squeezing between Si Mingjing and Mo Yinhe, using his little butt to try and push Mo Yinhe off the bed.

He thought his father would hit him, so he was constantly on guard, ready to defend himself at any moment.

Unexpectedly, he remained on guard until he was too sleepy to keep his eyes open and fell asleep without even hearing his father scold him once.

Strange, why did Dad suddenly become so generous?

Ye Nianbai didn’t know that after he fell asleep, Mo Yinhe picked him up without a word.

Mo Yinhe took him back to his usual sleeping room, then returned to the room to monopolize Si Mingjing.

Si Mingjing lay in his arms, laughing, "You have such patience with Xiaobai tonight?"

"That little brat is all alone in a strange place; it doesn’t hurt to let him have a bit of a good time. He’s set up a foundation in Shendu, and it’s running pretty well. Truly the son I, Mo Yinhe, personally taught."

In front of his son, Mo Yinhe was dismissive, but secretly, he was proud.

Mo Yinhe then said, "Isn’t there a Dragon Cub Popularity Chart on Mu Continent? What’s it for? Now Xiaobai is proudly sitting in first place on the popularity chart."
