My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband-Chapter 595: The Eighth Little Dragon Cub, Xi Lei! 1
Mo Yinhe’s voice came through the phone, filled with shock. "Say that again!"
Ye Siyuan walked out and called Mo Yinhe from outside the door. "Brother, it’s true, what Yan Mu said. It’s in the Hawaii Sea Area. Isn’t Yundu of the Mu Continent close to the Hawaii Sea Area? The sovereign ruler in charge of Yundu is Xi Jinrong, right? Brother, do you think Xi Jinrong also raised a Little Dragon for Si Mingjing?"
The more one experienced, the more connections one naturally made. With so many princes of the Dragon Clan on the Mu Continent raising Little Dragons for Si Mingjing, what was so strange about Xi Jinrong having one too?
Ye Siyuan said, almost confidently, "Brother, Xi Jinrong definitely has a Little Dragon with him, and it looks a lot like you!"
Mo Yinhe’s breath caught sharply; his thoughts coincided with his sister’s.
After rewriting a prescription for Yan Bei, Si Mingjing also found herself pondering this matter.
She still remembered that after her birthday, before Xi Jinrong left, he had invited her to visit Yundu, saying a surprise would be waiting for her there.
Se Tingnan cut some fruit and brought it out, placing it on the living room coffee table.
Se Tingnan called to Si Mingjing, "Mingjing, have some fruit."
Si Mingjing, somewhat absent-minded, placed the prescription on the table. "Follow this prescription for three doses. After three doses, I’ll re-examine Uncle, and then readjust the prescription."
"Does this prescription need frequent adjustments?" Se Tingnan asked, purely curious and meaning nothing else by it.
Si Mingjing explained, "Auntie, traditional Chinese medicine is different from Western medicine. Even the slightest difference can alter the treatment’s effectiveness. It’s necessary to adjust the dosage based on the severity of the illness. Some people say traditional Chinese medicine is a scam, but that’s because they’ve encountered doctors who aren’t adept at controlling dosages. The same prescription with different dosages can have vastly different effects, which requires greater skill from the doctor."
"I see," Se Tingnan said. "It seems those who have had bad experiences with Chinese medicine simply haven’t encountered a sufficiently capable and skilled practitioner. For you to have such abilities at such a young age is truly remarkable. No wonder Xingguang is always singing your praises."
Se Tingnan passed the prescription to Yan Mu, asking him to get the medicine refilled.
Si Mingjing stood up. "Uncle, Auntie, I must take my leave now."
"It’s not too late. Stay for dinner before you go," Se Tingnan offered.
Yan Zhenxi also said, "Yes, Mingjing! I just arrived. Let’s have dinner together tonight."
"I have some urgent matters. Perhaps another day."
Right now, Si Mingjing’s mind was completely preoccupied with the child Yan Mu had mentioned, the one who supposedly resembled Bo Fengyin. She had no appetite for a meal.
She excused herself hastily.
Ye Siyuan was still at the door, on a call, when she saw Si Mingjing walk out. Ye Siyuan immediately followed. "Sister-in-law! My brother said he’s going to Yundu!"
Si Mingjing said while walking, "I’ll make a call."
She found Xi Jinrong’s number in her contacts and dialed it.
Xi Jinrong was delighted to receive Si Mingjing’s call, his pleasure evident even through the phone. "Little sister, you finally called! I was guessing you would call me soon. Are you satisfied with the surprise I sent you?"
"Surprise?" Si Mingjing’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly. What did Xi Jinrong mean?
Could he be Prescient? Did he know Yan Mu would inadvertently mention a child today?
Xi Jinrong said over the phone, "The child must have reached Yecheng by now, right?"
"The child?" Si Mingjing repeated.
"I originally planned to give you a surprise when you arrived in Yundu," Xi Jinrong explained. "But the child was impatient and insisted on finding his mother himself. Calculating the time, he should have arrived today. He has a bit of a temper, but as long as you indulge him, he’s quite easy to care for."
Si Mingjing stopped in her tracks, her lips pressed tightly together.
Did Xi Jinrong mean that the child Yan Mu had described—the one with a small red mark between his eyebrows—had already arrived in Yecheng? But she hadn’t seen him!
Si Mingjing’s breath hitched. She tried to control her excitement as she asked, "I haven’t seen the child yet. What’s his name?"
"Xi Lei."
Xi Jinrong continued, "The child hasn’t arrived yet? Then he should be close. Based on my calculations, he should arrive today. Since the child hasn’t arrived, your call probably isn’t about what I thought. So, little sister, why did you call me?"
Si Mingjing didn’t answer his question, instead asking her own, "When did Xiaolei set off?"
"From when he left until now, it’s been about seventeen hours. That’s roughly the travel time from Yundu to Yecheng. Just wait a bit longer."
"Alright," Si Mingjing said and then promptly hung up.
Then, she turned to Ye Siyuan beside her. "Call your brother. Tell him he doesn’t need to go to Yundu anymore. Xiaolei is already on his way to Yecheng and will be here soon."
"Xiaolei?" Ye Siyuan caught the key part of the statement, her eyebrows lifting in delight. "Sister-in-law, do I really have a little nephew named Xiaolei?"
"Yes, his name is Xi Lei."
Ye Siyuan protested, "What do you mean, Xi Lei? He’s your and my brother’s flesh and blood! He should be called Ye Lei!"
But that wasn’t important; it was just a surname. Si Mingjing didn’t place much importance on it, and neither did Mo Yinhe. Otherwise, they would have already changed the surnames of their other children.
Si Mingjing urged, "Hurry up and call your brother."
"Alright, alright, I’m calling right now!"
Si Mingjing returned to the palace and waited calmly at home. According to Xi Jinrong, the child should be arriving soon.
Ten minutes later, Mo Yinhe also rushed back from the Undersea World.
However, they all waited until dark, but still, no child showed up at their door.
Ye Xinguang and Ye Junqing were both informed, and the whole family waited anxiously. When dinnertime arrived, no one mentioned starting the meal. They preferred to wait until the child arrived so they could all eat together.
Sheng Liangliang was already rubbing her little belly. But the little girl was very sensible; hearing she would soon have a new little brother, she was willing to endure her hunger.
On the other hand, the chubby toddler Gu Shurong couldn’t resist any longer. He had sneakily gone to the kitchen, grabbed a small bowl, and helped himself to plenty of meat, having his own little feast.
Not only did the chubby toddler indulge himself until his mouth was greasy, but he also took a piece of meat and tiptoed up to Ye Jingzhe. He whispered conspiratorially, "Boss, Boss! Are you hungry? Quick, eat this! No one will see."
Ye Jingzhe, the Little Bingshan, glanced at the foodie Gu Shurong, his thin lips pursed slightly. "I’m not eating. You eat it."
"Why not? It’s not like we’re getting a new sister. It’s just a brother. We’re being polite enough by not beating him up. Do we really have to go hungry for him?"
Ye Jingzhe declined, but Gu Shurong still brought the meat to his lips. Smelling the delicious aroma, Ye Jingzhe opened his mouth.
Bo Fengyin also smelled the meat and followed the scent over. Seeing Gu Shurong’s small bowl full of meat, he swallowed and said, "I want some too."
Gu Shurong immediately hid the bowl behind his back. "There’s none left! Go sneak some from the kitchen yourself!"
But Bo Fengyin was no pushover. "I’ll tell Dad!"
"Wait a minute! I’ll give you one piece, but no more!" Gu Shurong grumbled, grudgingly taking the small bowl out from behind him. He was only willing to give Bo Fengyin a single piece of meat.
Bo Fengyin wasn’t satisfied. "Give me another piece."
Gu Shurong immediately snapped, "Are you a pig? Eating so much!"
