My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband-Chapter 603 Roar Roar Roar, The Eldest Sister-in-law is Too Virtuous! 1
Si Mingjing felt that this brother was nothing special after all—her good impression instantly vanished!
Far away in Yundu, Xi Jinrong, who thought he had struck it rich: "..."
If he knew this was what his sister was thinking, he would definitely slap himself hard. How could he have been so foolish as to leave such a terrible impression on his own sister? The problem was, he never imagined Mo Yinhe would bring up such a petty matter with his own sister. Aren’t men supposed to be like him—grin and bear it after being swindled outside, without letting the women at home find out? Clearly, Xi Jinrong thought all men in the world were like him, definitely not sharing such frustrating things with the women at home. A miscalculation, a miscalculation!
Mo Yinhe had a business trip, so that night, the couple indulged a bit too much.
After taking a bath and having supper, Si Mingjing carried a suitcase into the dressing room to pack the clothes he would need for the trip, looking incredibly devoted. Mo Yinhe was both surprised and delighted. His Mingjing was so devoted and gentle, even knowing to pack travel necessities for her husband.
Mo Yinhe stood by, took a photo without her noticing, and boasted on his Moments feed: "Going on a business trip tomorrow, my wife is being so devoted tonight."
Soon, people started commenting.
The first to comment was Ye Shen: "Awesome! Sister-in-law is so devoted +1!"
Following that was Ye Qinghan: "What’s so great about that? Every time I go on a business trip, Zhenxi also prepares my suitcase. What’s there to show off?"
Mo Yinhe wished he could delete Ye Qinghan’s comment right there and then.
Soon after, Bo Leng also commented, "Cherish it well."
Mo Yinhe replied, "Definitely. See you tomorrow."
Mo Yinhe’s business trip was to attend an important meeting of the four Undersea countries. Bo Leng, his brother-in-law, was also attending this meeting, so they could have a meal together tomorrow. In previous Four-Nation meetings, Mo Yinhe was always isolated, with no one willing to dine with him. This was due to his political ideology, which held that Oceanic people and Land Dwellers were equal, with no distinction between noble and common. This stance was a stark contrast to the beliefs of the other three oceanic nations. This made Mo Yinhe a thorn in the side of the other three nations. No one would take the initiative to invite him for a meal.
Now that Mo Yinhe’s wife, Si Mingjing, was the Empress of Mu Continent, and he got along well with his brother-in-law, Bo Leng, it was natural for them to dine together. Moreover, Bo Leng had grown up on land, so his political views were not much different from Mo Yinhe’s. He also didn’t think Oceanic people were particularly noble, which was the main reason he had lost to Si Lisao in their power struggle.
After Si Mingjing filled the suitcase with clothes, she found a small box of commonly used medicines and placed it in the suitcase. She instructed him, "I’ve packed some common medications for you, though I hope you won’t need them."
Mo Yinhe walked over and wrapped his wife in his arms from behind, nuzzling her ear. Si Mingjing found him too clingy and pushed him away. But Mo Yinhe quickly pulled her back into his embrace, lowered his head, and kissed her. He was skilled and knew exactly how to make her yield completely. Soon, Si Mingjing’s body softened, and she let him do as he pleased.
This passionate interlude lasted until the next morning when Mo Yinhe boarded the plane. Before boarding, he asked, "I’ll bring you a gift when I return. What would you like?"
"I don’t know what’s available where you’re going. Just bring back some local specialties."
"I’ll bring you a bag."
It’s often said that bags can cure all woes, but Si Mingjing wasn’t particularly fixated on them. She just said, "Whatever."
「That day, Si Mingjing stayed at home, focusing on cultivating Blue Eye Sunflowers.」
All the children had gone to school, except for Gu Shurong and Xi Lei. Gu Shurong, the chubby little boy, didn’t take the conventional path. He locked himself in the spaceship in the palace’s backyard every day, studying a curriculum tailor-made for him. Xi Lei, who had just arrived and had no school to attend, squatted beside Si Mingjing, watching her study the Blue Eye Sunflowers. Three plants were simply too few. Si Mingjing needed to find the right environment for the Blue Eye Sunflower to cultivate more of them.
Xi Lei, sporting a head of red, instant-noodle-like hair, squatted by her side. "Mom," he said, "I know where there are more of these seaweeds. Shall I go pick some for you?"
Xi Lei was also a little dragon who liked to explore. He roamed everywhere in the Undersea World, much like Bo Fengyin. Both were free-spirited and thus well-traveled and knowledgeable.
Si Mingjing’s eyes lit up. "Where? Is it far from here?"
"It’s in..." Xi Lei tilted his little head, thinking for a moment. "Mom, it’s about half a day away."
"Let’s go!"
Si Mingjing took Xi Lei to gather Blue Eye Sunflowers. By the time they returned, the sky had completely darkened, but she had reaped a big harvest, gathering a full basket. She set aside some for cultivation and used the rest for medicine. She found a prescription for treating depression in an out-of-print medical book. After three days, she had prepared a box of herbal pills—exactly twenty of them.
Now, all that was lacking was a subject for clinical trials.
She remembered Ye Shen mentioning Yan Mu. However, Ye Shen had also said that although Yan Mu suffered from depressive episodes annually, it didn’t necessarily mean he was currently experiencing one. It seemed inappropriate for her to ask proactively, as it might appear she was hoping Yan Mu was depressed just so he could be her clinical trial subject.
However, today was the day she was scheduled for a follow-up appointment with Yan Mu’s father, Yan Bei.
Si Mingjing was going for Yan Bei’s follow-up, and Xi Lei, the little fellow with nothing else to do, insisted on accompanying her. The Yan Family’s villa was right next to the Ye Family’s palace, so Si Mingjing walked over with Xi Lei.
On the way, Xi Lei trotted along with his somewhat silly gait, humming a little tune. When they arrived at the Yan Family’s villa gate, they bumped into Yan Mu, who was just returning.
When Yan Mu saw Xi Lei, he paused in surprise for a moment before picking him up. "Isn’t this the child I’ve seen before?" Yes, the beauty mark between the eyebrows—it was this child. "Miss Si, where did you find him?"
Si Mingjing smiled. "Thanks to you for telling me about his existence. I only just found him. He’s Yinhe’s and my biological child."
Yan Mu’s worldview shattered with a SNAP. My Brother Mo is *that* capable?
Si Mingjing offered no explanation. "I’m here for your father’s follow-up."
"Oh, please come in."
Yan Mu didn’t put Xi Lei down, walking alongside them. "Little one," he said, "do you remember? That time you saved me..."
Xi Lei couldn’t remember and said cockily, "I’ve saved too many people. No need to thank me!"
Yan Mu then asked, "Miss Si, I heard from Ye Shen that you can cure depression?"
"I only saw a prescription for depression in a book. I’m not yet sure if it’s truly effective."
Yan Mu looked around. Seeing that only the three of them were present, he whispered, "Miss Si, could you give me that prescription?"
"Why? Are you depressed?"
Yan Mu didn’t really want others to know his depression had flared up again recently; otherwise, he wouldn’t have come to Yecheng to be with his parents. He was struggling with it. No matter how cheerful he appeared on the surface, like a normal person, only he knew how terribly the depression tormented him when he was alone.
