My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband-Chapter 570: Happy Hour 2

Si Mingjing was just like them. They hadn’t laughed so heartily in a long time. The pandemic had kept their spirits stretched taut every day.

This comedy had many laugh-out-loud moments that instantly eased the tension they’d all been feeling. No wonder everyone loved comedies.

In the back row, Fengjue and Song Yuan, both usually stern guard captains, were now laughing so hard they were practically doubled over. Fengjue even slapped his thigh several times. Priceless!

After the movie ended, Fengjue wished he could buy another ticket and watch it all over again.

Walking out of the movie theater, Qin Jingqiu, hand in hand with her boyfriend, waited in the corridor for Si Mingjing.

Si Mingjing and Mo Yinhe walked out side by side, and Qin Jingqiu went up to greet them, exchanging pleasantries.

"Si sister, even if we hadn’t run into you at the cinema tonight, I was planning to look for you."

"Qin sister, are you looking for me because you need something?"

Qin Jingqiu said with a smile, "It’s not me, it’s the Chen Family. They heard you want to establish a traditional Chinese medicine program. The Chens are involved in education, aren’t they? They also have a university in Yecheng. The Chen Family is very interested and would like to ask if you’re willing to establish a TCM program at Yecheng University."

Si Mingjing’s phoenix eyes glanced towards Mo Yinhe, her gaze inquiring: Was this the news you released?

Mo Yinhe hugged her, his eyes responding: Didn’t I tell you? Just release the news, and the Chen Family will definitely scramble to offer you the resources to establish the program.

Si Mingjing smiled at Qin Jingqiu. "I do have that in mind—to establish a TCM program. However, I haven’t decided where to locate the school yet. I’ll need to think about it, so I can’t give you an answer right now."

"That’s fine, as long as I’ve conveyed the message. I won’t disturb you and Crown Prince Yinhe any longer. Let’s get together for coffee sometime."

Qin Jingqiu kept it brief; she had her own evening plans. After a short chat, she left.

After leaving the cinema, Si Mingjing and Mo Yinhe discussed this topic on their way back to the palace.

"When I left Shendu, President Fu and Professor Yan kept emphasizing that they hoped I would create a TCM program there, especially Professor Yan. He wanted TCM to spread widely on Mu Continent. I feel like if I start the TCM program in Yecheng, I’d be letting them down a bit."

Mo Yinhe respectfully disagreed. "If they truly want TCM to spread across Mu Continent, they can send people to study in Yecheng. Since when do teachers need to accommodate students’ preferences? Isn’t it always the student who follows the teacher?"

"Unfortunately, my two mentors haven’t returned yet. I asked you to pick them up; did you send someone to fetch them?"

Mo Yinhe smiled but said nothing, choosing not to tell her that her two mentors were already staying at the palace.

The day after tomorrow was her birthday, and this was Little Fengyin’s birthday present to her. To ensure it was a surprise, Mo Yinhe had no intention of revealing this.

He simply said, "I have."

Si Mingjing thought, Then I’ll wait for my two mentors to arrive. After hearing their opinions, I’ll see whether they prefer to stay in Yecheng or go to Shendu to teach.

When the couple returned to the palace, the children had already gone to sleep.

The two daughters shared a room, Gu Shurong and Ye Jingzhe shared another, and Bo Fengyin and Ye Nianbai were in another.

Before going to sleep herself, Si Mingjing visited each child’s room to tuck them in and adjust their sleeping positions.

As she was tucking in Ye Jingzhe’s blanket, the Little Bingshan suddenly opened his eyes.

Children are very alert, easily waking at the slightest disturbance.

Si Mingjing whispered, gently rubbing Ye Jingzhe’s little head, "It’s Mommy. Go back to sleep."

But Little Bingshan Ye Jingzhe sat up. "Mommy."

"What is it?"

Ye Jingzhe thought for a moment, then shook his head. "Nothing. Good night, Mommy."

"Are you sure there’s nothing?"

Ye Jingzhe, the Little Bingshan, spoke with a calmness beyond his years, "Mom, I can solve it."

Is there really something going on?

But Ye Jingzhe was reluctant to say.

"Alright then. If you can’t solve it, tell Mom."

"Yes."

Si Mingjing bent down and kissed Ye Jingzhe’s little forehead. "Goodnight. Go to sleep early."

The Little Bingshan’s face suddenly flushed. After lying down, he covered his face with the blanket. Although it was his own mother, the Little Bingshan still wasn’t quite used to being kissed.

Thinking about someone planning to make a move at his mother’s birthday banquet, Ye Jingzhe, the Little Bingshan, squinted his eyes dangerously and swore, I’ll take care of it for Mom!

...

Two days later, Si Mingjing’s birthday banquet was set to take place in the evening.

But the day was also lively.

The palace was festively adorned with lights and lanterns.

Some people were traveling from afar for her birthday party, so guests arrived continuously throughout the day. Si Mingjing and Mo Yinhe were in the palace to receive them.

The first group to arrive was Elder Ye and Lady Ye, along with Mo Yinhe’s uncle and his family, who had traveled from A Country.

As the plane’s door opened, Mo Yinhe saw Ye Qinghan with one arm around his lovely wife, Yan Zhenxi, and the other holding their seven-month-old son, descending the spiral staircase.

Mo Yinhe and Si Mingjing stepped forward to greet them.

Ye Siyuan rushed towards Yan Zhenxi. The two, childhood best friends, began chatting warmly the moment they got off the plane.

Mo Yinhe took his little nephew from Ye Qinghan’s arms and lifted him high, saying sincerely, "This child is growing up so fast! I haven’t seen him for just a few months, and he’s changed so much I barely recognize him. Say ’Uncle.’"

Ye Qinghan raised his hand and gave Mo Yinhe a brotherly punch, boasting, "He only knows how to say ’Daddy’ and ’Mommy’ right now, not ’Uncle.’"

Yan Zhenxi and Ye Siyuan hugged tightly, whispering, "I heard you’re in love and about to get engaged, is that true?"

Ye Siyuan, feeling a sweet warmth inside, replied, "It’s not that exaggerated. I’m not engaged, don’t spread rumors. I’m just in love."

"Is it the person you’ve always wanted?"

"Yeah." Ye Siyuan whispered in Yan Zhenxi’s ear, "He’ll be coming to Mingjing’s birthday banquet today. I’ll point him out to you later; he’s really handsome!"

"You absolutely have to point him out to me."

Then, Yan Zhenxi greeted Si Mingjing, "Mingjing, happy birthday."

She took out the birthday gift she had prepared in advance and handed it to Si Mingjing.

Si Mingjing received the birthday gift. "Thank you. Come inside. The sun is a bit harsh today; don’t let the child get sunburned."

Since they still had other guests to receive, Si Mingjing and Mo Yinhe didn’t go inside with them. They were all family, so no one minded. The uncle’s family went to the South Garden of the palace as if it were their own home. Ye Xinguang and Ye Junqing were waiting for them there.

Si Mingjing had just received a phone call that Elder Su and his family had also arrived.

Elder Su’s family had taken a commercial flight and then traveled by car. Their vehicle was now approaching the palace gate. Si Mingjing, holding Mo Yinhe’s hand, went to the parking lot to wait for them personally.

Soon, they saw a car carrying the Su Family slowly driving towards them.
