My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband

Chapter 842: Found a Breakthrough (1)

Si Lisao’s expression was more than just unpleasant. This man, who seemed never to have descended to the mortal realm, was holding a kitchen knife, standing there awkwardly. His handsome face was tense, ready to kick Mo Yinhe, who was watching and amused, at any moment. He was staring down at the fresh, lively sea fish in the basin, as if a mountain was weighing down on him.

Si Mingjing couldn’t hide the amusement at the corners of her mouth and quickly walked over to rescue her brother.

She took the knife from Si Lisao, gave Mo Yinhe a glare for laughing, and handed the knife back to him, saying, "Stop messing around, quickly kill the fish. Ye Siyuan is asleep, and when she wakes up, she can have fish soup."

Mo Yinhe, already having teased Si Lisao, was in a good mood and didn’t mind, taking the knife and swiftly started to kill the fish.

Si Lisao went upstairs with a cold face, looking rather embarrassed.

Si Mingjing followed, laughing, "Bro, don’t be mad. I didn’t think you’d really be afraid to kill fish. I originally called you down to let you show off."

But instead, it backfired on her...

Si Lisao kept his face tense and didn’t speak, a cold aura emanating from him.

Si Mingjing followed him all the way to the room. Si Lisao ignored her, obviously still keeping a lid on his embarrassment.

Ye Siyuan was asleep. Si Mingjing intended to go over to check her pulse to see the operation’s effects on her.

Once the pulse-checking was done, Si Lisao finally acknowledged her, his voice clear and dignified, "How is it?"

"It’s fine, it was indeed just a minor operation. But she still needs to do a small confinement, the doctor said about half a month, that’s about it."

Si Mingjing was genuinely curious and couldn’t help continuing the earlier topic, "Bro, why are you afraid of killing fish?" Si Lisao glared at her menacingly, and Si Mingjing smiled, "Just curious."

Si Lisao was filled with a murderous aura, "Si Yuan!"

Si Mingjing was smart; as soon as Si Lisao said those two words, she understood. Was it because Siyuan is like a fish, so he’s afraid to kill fish? It’s not fear; it’s compassion? Unwilling to kill fish, even if they aren’t mermaids, just ordinary fish.

Si Mingjing said, "But I haven’t seen you afraid to eat fish."

Si Lisao gave her another cold, disdainful glance, as if to say, what’s wrong with me eating fish? I even eat Siyuan!

At this moment, Ye Siyuan woke up leisurely, yawned, opened her eyes, and excitedly said, "Sister-in-law, are you and my brother back? Where’s my incubation egg?"

Si Mingjing pointed to the side of the bedroom, where a robot was in standby mode, and said, "That one."

"Wow! It’s really a robot. I did some research before and found that now the incubation eggs are super realistic and can simulate any lifestyle of a pregnant woman. Even when delivering, it can simulate natural birth, letting the baby experience the pressure of natural delivery." Ye Siyuan had done a lot of research; she knew the theory but hadn’t seen it.

She wanted to get out of bed, but Si Lisao pressed her down, not allowing her to move: "Stay lying down. You can call it; it will come over by itself."

Earlier, when Ye Siyuan was asleep, Si Lisao had finished reading the incubation egg’s user manual.

Ye Siyuan got up, sat on the bed, and asked, "What’s its name?"

"Xiaodai."

Si Lisao thought this robot seemed dim-witted and not realistic enough, with a round mechanical head, so he named it Xiaodai.

Ye Siyuan excitedly waved at Xiaodai, "Xiaodai, Xiaodai, come here."

The robot Xiaodai, in sleep mode, heard the voice and mechanically walked over to Ye Siyuan, standing at the foot of the bed, and emitted a mechanical voice, "Owner, Xiaodai is a pregnant woman who needs care~~"

"Haha, it even knows how to act spoiled." Ye Siyuan laughed heartily sitting on the bed, crawling from the headboard to the foot, touching Xiaodai’s belly, and said, "Xiaodai, I will take care of you, and you should also take care of my baby. Let the baby grow healthily in your belly, okay?"

The robot Xiaodai mechanically responded again, "Okay, owner."

Si Mingjing, sitting beside, said, "Bro, since Professor Ye won’t share the technology, why don’t we let someone study this robot? Couldn’t we replicate it and grasp the essence of childcare technology?"

Si Lisao said solemnly, "I already checked. Xiaodai’s core technology is in a chip in its belly, and it has a self-destruct device. If you try to remove it, the robot will activate the self-destruct, taking the baby in its belly with it. For the sake of the baby, it’s best not to attempt it lightly."

Upon hearing this, Ye Siyuan turned pale and said, "Sister-in-law, don’t mess with it."

"I won’t mess with it, don’t worry."

Given this, she naturally didn’t dare to touch the robot’s technology.

Si Mingjing didn’t want to be a third wheel and walked out.

Downstairs, in the kitchen, she found Mo Yinhe. He was simmering fish soup, wearing an apron, with a holographic virtual screen projecting a video call. On the other end was the old lady Ye explaining how to take care of Siyuan during her small confinement, worried that the young ones would not know how to care for her properly.

Si Mingjing listened for a while but did not enter the kitchen. She left the yard and sat on the swing chair in the garden, sunbathing. After living undersea for some time, she particularly enjoyed the sunlight, relishing the warmth of the sunbathing.

Especially the four or five o’clock sunlight in the afternoon, which is the gentlest, it makes one feel especially pleasant.

She closed her eyes and pondered, still thinking about how to persuade Professor Ye?

Perhaps the sunlight falling so comfortably on her, she unwittingly fell asleep holding onto the swing’s ropes.

Mo Yinhe came out and ruffled her hair, woke Si Mingjing up.

"Why are you sleeping on the swing? Go back and sleep."

"I’m not sleepy."

Si Mingjing stood up from the swing, stretching her body. She smelled the aroma wafting from the kitchen, and she was hungry.

"When is dinner?" Si Mingjing touched her stomach.

Mo Yinhe couldn’t help but laugh, pinched her nose, and led her inside.

Mo Yinhe only made three dishes himself, getting the rest done by the chef, estimating that dinner would be another half an hour, so he pulled her to sit on the living room sofa, turning on the TV to pass the time.

Mo Yinhe wasn’t interested in dramas; he watched the news. At the moment, the news was reporting Ye Siyuan’s visit to the National Childcare Center, with the media having captured videos of the four of them entering the center—a major news story.

With their status, their every move drew considerable public attention, making for popular gossip.

Just then, Mo Yinhe received a call from his uncle, Xia Yechao, who knew they were in A Country and also knew Siyuan had gone to the National Childcare Center, intending to visit his niece.

Mo Yinhe said, "Uncle, you came just in time for dinner. Let’s have a couple of drinks."

Xia Yechao said over the phone, "Sure."

Half an hour later, Xia Yechao, his wife Chang Danran, and their son Xia Man came to visit Ye Siyuan.

Si Mingjing greeted Xia Man, "Prosecutor Xia, long time no see."

Xia Man nodded at Si Mingjing, then greeted Si Lisao, and afterwards went to the room to visit Ye Siyuan.
