My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband-Chapter 540 Mo Yinhe Angers His Brother-in-law Bo Leng! 1
Ye Siyuan woke up to find it was already dark. The setting sun cast a hazy, beautiful golden glow on her.
Ye Shen swam back from the sea, drying his wet hair with a towel while chugging more than half a bottle of water in one go.
"Sis, you’re awake?"
"How did I fall asleep?" Ye Siyuan sat up. She instinctively wanted to video call Si Lisao, then belatedly realized the call had already disconnected.
Ye Shen walked over to her, playfully shook his hair, and said, "Sis, stop looking. I’ve already turned it off for you. No need to thank me."
Ye Siyuan really wanted to kick Ye Shen away. "Who asked you to turn it off?"
"You don’t even sleep peacefully. Do you know how awful your sleeping face is? I was just being nice by turning it off so your perfect image wouldn’t shatter in front of your crush. You should be thanking me," Ye Shen said, blatantly lying. He just didn’t want Si Lisao to see.
Ye Siyuan knew her own sleeping habits well and huffed. "Thank me? My foot! No one can maintain a perfect image forever. Sooner or later, my true self will be revealed. He’s going to find out eventually what I’m like when I sleep; might as well let him get mentally prepared now. You’ve ruined everything!"
She stood up and stretched lazily. "I’m so hungry. How about we go out to eat?"
"Go out to eat?" Ye Shen reached out and unceremoniously pressed down on her head. "Do you have any idea how many reporters are camped outside the palace right now? Hundreds of them!"
Ye Siyuan felt deflated. "Oh. Call Big Brother and ask him when we can announce I’m not dead. I can’t even go out and have fun."
"Sister-in-law said you’re still sick and need to rest at home for at least a week. How do you expect to go out and have fun then?"
Ye Siyuan didn’t dare push it. What was there to look forward to if she couldn’t post on social media or her blog?
She messaged Mo Yinhe personally and got a reply: "This matter has been entirely handed over to Si Lisao. If you have any questions, ask him."
Biting her soft, rosy lips, Ye Siyuan sent Si Lisao a message with an emoji.
Si Lisao’s reply came immediately, his voice cool and with a damnably deep bass: "Awake?"
His prompt reply was very pleasing.
Ye Siyuan listened to it twice and responded with a voice message, "I don’t even know how I fell asleep. How embarrassing~"
Si Lisao video-called her. "It’s normal for you to sleep more when you’re sick. The sunset is beautiful."
Si Lisao saw the background behind her. The sun had already dipped below the horizon, painting the sky with red clouds that cast a charming light on her delicate features.
Ye Siyuan pointed the camera toward the sunset over the sea. "From my house, this angle gives the best view of the sunset. Do you like watching sunsets? Oh, I forgot there’s no sunset Undersea. But you can take a submarine to the surface to enjoy it. By the way, my brother said you’re now in charge of my affairs. When are we going to announce that I’m not dead?"
Si Lisao’s eyebrows raised slightly, his steady voice holding a hint of surprise and disbelief. "Your brother said your affairs are now my responsibility?"
"Yes, that’s what my brother said."
Ye Siyuan chose to focus on that part.
Standing beside her, Ye Shen pricked up his ears. Impossible, right? Was his brother actually saying he was entrusting his sister to Si Lisao? He hadn’t agreed yet! Mom and Dad hadn’t agreed either!
Ye Shen didn’t believe it and secretly messaged Mo Yinhe on WeChat: "Bro, did you tell Sis that from now on Si Lisao is in charge of all her affairs? Are you really handing her over to him? Have you thought this through? Did you ask Mom and Dad?"
Mo Yinhe was utterly baffled. "When did I ever say that?"
"Sis said it. She was on the phone with Si Lisao and told him you said her affairs are now under his control. Even Si Lisao himself was shocked!"
Mo Yinhe reacted, his expression grim as he replied: "That blasted girl! What I clearly said was that Si Lisao is fully responsible for *this particular matter*. Who said anything about handing *her* over to Si Lisao to manage?"
Seeing his elder brother’s reply, Ye Shen instantly calmed down. He immediately raised his voice, afraid Si Lisao on the other end of the video call wouldn’t hear, "Sis, you misunderstood! Big Brother meant that the matter of *when to announce your recovery* is up to Crown Prince Lisao, not that Crown Prince Lisao is now in charge of all your affairs!"
Ye Siyuan lifted her leg and kicked towards Ye Shen. "Shut up! This is none of your business!"
Si Lisao’s low laughter echoed through the video call. He deepened his voice slightly and said, "Just be patient for a few more days. Once I’ve handled things on my end, I’ll make the announcement. Don’t worry."
Actually, it could be announced now, but Si Lisao didn’t want to. He knew her temperament; she couldn’t sit still. If it were announced now, she might go out tonight. It was better to wait a few days until she had recovered a bit more, then announce it.
Ye Siyuan, assuming it was due to political reasons, reluctantly accepted. "Alright, but please make it quick. I’m not talking anymore, I’m hungry. I’m going inside to eat."
With that, Ye Siyuan ended the call. Then she shouted menacingly at Ye Shen, who was already making a run for it, "You stop right there!"
Stop? He’d have to be a fool!
Ye Shen called out as he ran, "Sis, have some dignity, will you? Things aren’t even settled yet, and you’re already so eager to have a man take charge of you. It’s so embarrassing!"
"You stop right there! I swear I’ll beat you senseless!"
The brother and sister chased each other across the private beach, all the way from the sand to the South Garden of the palace. Ye Siyuan finally stopped, panting heavily with her hands on her hips.
Ye Junqing was in the living room, teaching his new grandson Bo Fengyin to play chess. Seeing the two acting like children, he said in a stern voice, "How old are you both?"
"Dad, Asheng is bullying me!"
"I am not! I was just trying to save a girl from making a fool of herself. She actually told Crown Prince Lisao that he should take charge of all her affairs from now on."
Ye Xinguang came downstairs holding a set of children’s clothes in her hand and said with an amused smile, "Alright, you two, stop fooling around. Dinner is almost ready. Go wash your hands quickly."
"Mom, why do you have Xiaobai’s clothes?"
"They’re for Fengyin to change into."
Little Bo Fengyin, like an untamed colt finally let loose, had played so hard he was now completely filthy.
Ye Shen walked over, picked up little Bo Fengyin, and lifted him high. "Little treasure, tell Uncle, where do you want to play tomorrow? Uncle will take you anywhere you want to go."
Little Bo Fengyin tilted his small head, thought for a moment, then said, "This Dragon wants to go to the sky!"
"Uh..." Ye Shen facepalmed. "To the sky? For what?"
Little Bo Fengyin solemnly declared, "To Prison Star! To bring back Mom’s master! It’s Mom’s last wish. This Dragon wants to give Mom a surprise. Uncle, will you take this Dragon there?"
