Chapter 862: The Queen’s Identity Exposed 1
Si Mingjing and Mo Yinhe ran several laps at the horse track, then jumped down from their horses, holding the reins as they strolled together on the lawn. A gentle breeze blew across the lake, making her feel refreshed and she was having a great time.
"This place is really nice. I’m free tomorrow afternoon. How about we come back and run a couple of laps?"
Mo Yinhe glanced at her: "If my wife likes it, why not? If you enjoy horse riding, we can build a horse track on the west side of Yecheng, and you can gallop whenever you have free time."
"It’s a pity we can’t return to Yecheng for now."
Si Mingjing loves living in Yecheng and enjoys living on land. She likes the gentle sunlight on her body, but as the Queen of Mu Continent, she has her own responsibilities and cannot stay away from her country for too long.
Si Mingjing said, "It would be ideal to find an island like Yecheng above Mu Continent. I prefer living on land, not fond of living in the ocean."
Even though the Undersea World is brightly lit, it can’t compare to the comfort of sunshine.
Mo Yinhe thought for a moment and said, "There are no islands above the Imperial Capital of Mu Continent. If you don’t like living in the ocean, we can return to live in Yecheng. Don’t let the title of Queen become a cage, and you’re not even dealing with proper matters."
"That’s true."
Si Mingjing pondered deliberately complaining, "If only you’d get along better with my brother, he wouldn’t be calling me back to Mu Continent. You two are incompatible; it’s celestial battles with this Queen caught in the middle!"
Mo Yinhe gritted his teeth, "I even gave him my younger sister, now it’s buy one get one free, isn’t my attitude good enough?"
Si Mingjing laughed heartily and retorted, "He also gave you his sister, buy one get nine."
Mo Yinhe pulled her into his arms forcefully, asking, "Which country are you from?"
"Mu Continent."
Mo Yinhe bowed his head and fiercely kissed her face.
Later, Ye Qinghan found them and asked where they planned to have dinner, suggesting he could make a reservation.
Mo Yinhe said, "We have an appointment with Mr. President tonight. Want to join?"
"No, thanks." Ye Qinghan knew their dinner with the President would undoubtedly involve discussing state affairs, which he wasn’t interested in. He laughed, "You two seemed pretty happy at the horse track. Little did you know everyone there was talking about you."
Mo Yinhe’s self-absorbed voice was magnetic and playful: "What are they discussing? A perfect couple?"
Ye Qinghan gave him a playful peck and replied in a teasing tone, "Discussing your so-called deep affection. Once upon a time, you loved Bai Jiusi with unwavering devotion, and now you’ve placed your current sister-in-law on a pedestal. Those young and beautiful women all say, if they’d known you were only selling an image, they would have acted sooner, and there might not be a current sister-in-law."
Mo Yinhe laughed loudly in response.
With his long arms around Si Mingjing’s shoulders, he felt no shame but rather utmost pride as he said, "Do you think I’m that desperate? No matter how many people made a move early on, only my Mingjing can win me over. They’re overthinking it."
Si Mingjing laughed and pinched his waist, the three of them chattering and laughing.
Later, Mo Yinhe left the helicopter for Ye Qinghan, and they took Ye Qinghan’s car to the hotel for their appointment, choosing the top-floor restaurant at Vertex Tower, known as "Luminous Pearl," in the Imperial Capital.
The restaurant was booked by Mo Yinhe, with security measures prepared in advance.
The top-floor restaurant offered a 360-degree panoramic view with beautiful surroundings and a breathtaking view of the night sky outside, vast and starry.
Si Mingjing chose the spot with the best view, and not two minutes after sitting down, the President of A Country, Lu Zhanyuan, arrived right on time.
Lu Zhanyuan’s age was about the same as Mo Yinhe’s uncle Ye Shiting, a man of considerable power and skill, with an elegant mature charisma that was very appealing, once considered by many as a diamond bachelor.
Mo Yinhe stood up courteously as Lu Zhanyuan approached and shook his hand.
Si Mingjing also stood and shook hands with Lu Zhanyuan, "Mr. President, hello."
"Am I not late?"
Si Mingjing smiled and said, "Mr. President, you’re right on time."
Lu Zhanyuan gestured for them to sit down.
He also sat down and said to Si Mingjing, "I’ve long wanted to invite Miss Si for a meal. I didn’t expect this to be delayed for over a year. I’m treating this time; young people should not argue with me for that, consider it my hospitality."
Mo Yinhe replied, "Uncle Lu, I’m not going to argue, then I’ll choose the most expensive. But my wife is a married woman and you’re thinking of inviting her to dinner?"
He picked up the menu and teased, Lu Zhanyuan scolded him, "You weren’t this slick-tongued as a child. Your wife saved my granddaughter back during Christmas two years ago; she definitely deserves a treat."
Back at Christmas two years ago, Lady Song’s plot in kindergarten led the President’s granddaughter to hold a water gun against someone, and that water gun contained acid. If Si Mingjing hadn’t stopped it, the President’s little granddaughter would have been the culprit.
While Mo Yinhe was ordering, Lu Zhanyuan asked again, "How’s your uncle’s health? I heard he was ill recently. Is he better now?"
Mo Yinhe finished ordering and said, "With my wife around, you tell me."
"Your taste has always been excellent, just like your father; choosing wives is like picking pearls among stones, a blessing others can only dream of."
Lu Zhanyuan’s words carried a hidden meaning.
Si Mingjing and Mo Yinhe exchanged glances, wondering if President Lu knew her true identity?
President Lu said he and his father were alike; his father chose a queen of a country, and he too...
Mo Yinhe curled his thin lips with intent but didn’t respond to Lu Zhanyuan’s comment.
Getting back to the main topic, Mo Yinhe mentioned the national childcare plan, showing willingness to share technology with A Country.
Lu Zhanyuan was naturally very willing, but: "Dear Mo, nephew, I still maintain that A Country is willing to exchange national childcare technology on the condition that you convince Professor Ye. Integrity is crucial, for individuals and even more for countries. We won’t make any promises without Professor Ye’s consent."
Mo Yinhe leaned lazily against the chair back and said, "Uncle Lu, that’s a bit sly. You want my technology, yet expect me to handle what should be your responsibility. It’s not worth the deal."
"Not worth it, yet you’re eager to negotiate, which means it must be worthwhile." Lu Zhanyuan, wise and experienced, didn’t follow Mo Yinhe’s lead but instead laughed and asked back, "Don’t want the national childcare technology?"
Mo Yinhe didn’t mind, the key was his wife wanted it.
At this time, the waiter served the dishes, and they paused their conversation. Once the waiter left, Mo Yinhe raised his glass and said, "Uncle Lu, here’s to a successful collaboration in advance."
"Seems you’re confident about winning over Professor Ye?" Lu Zhanyuan raised his glass and clinked it against Mo Yinhe’s.
Mo Yinhe smiled without responding, whether or not he had confidence was irrelevant, as long as his wife was confident.
