My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband-Chapter 605 Mo Yinhe Has Been Tricked by His Wife 1
Yan Zhenxi didn’t know Song Pianlan, but she had seen trending topics about her online and knew that Song Pianlan wasn’t someone to be trifled with. She even had her eyes on Mo Yinhe at one point.
If the original Mu Genggeng was already too much to handle, then the current Song Pianlan would only be worse, ramping it up a notch. Yan Zhenxi couldn’t just stand by and do nothing.
Yan Zhenxi anxiously said, "Si Yuan, Mingjing, what should we do? Even if I tell Yan Mu, he definitely won’t believe me. He’ll think I’m making this up just so he won’t be manipulated by Mu Genggeng anymore. What can I do to completely free Yan Mu from Mu Genggeng’s grasp?!
"You don’t know, I bumped into Mu Genggeng looking for Yan Mu yesterday. She said she had never been to the Ye Family estate and asked Yan Mu to find a chance to take her there for a visit. At first, I thought she just wanted to broaden her horizons, but if she’s the same Song Pianlan who has a crush on Mo, I can now be sure she’s up to no good."
Ye Siyuan asked Si Mingjing, "Mingjing, what do you think? You always have the most ideas. Come up with a plan for Zhenxi."
"This is tricky."
Those who believe will do so implicitly; those who don’t will find it utterly ridiculous. Yan Mu is definitely a materialist; he wouldn’t believe such an absurd thing. Besides, his late comrade-in-arms is a factor. If he could let go of his comrade’s death, he wouldn’t have developed depression. That’s Yan Mu’s deep-seated issue. If the issue isn’t resolved, even if she manages to cure his depression this time, there’s no guarantee that something else won’t trigger a relapse in the future. Depression is the symptom; the deep-seated issue is the root cause. As the saying goes, to treat the symptom, you first have to treat the root.
Si Mingjing thought for a moment, then said, "I do have an idea."
Si Mingjing’s gaze fell upon Xiaolei, who was playing enthusiastically on the slide. With a curve of her lips, she smiled and said, "We’ve just brought a new son home. How about we throw a family recognition banquet for Xiaolei? And for Jingzhe and the others, we’ve found so many children and haven’t yet announced them to the public. Would it be right to keep them hidden like illegitimate children who can’t see the light of day?"
Ye Siyuan couldn’t wait any longer. "Mingjing, just tell us, what do you plan to do at the banquet?"
Si Mingjing whispered her plan to the two of them.
Ye Siyuan looked at Si Mingjing in horror. "Sister-in-law, are you sure? If Big Brother finds out, he’ll kill us."
"Isn’t your big brother most fond of you? This task is yours to undertake."
"No way, absolutely not! I’ve never dared to pull a tiger’s whiskers. Big Brother dotes on me because I’m well-behaved and always a considerate sister! You’re the one he loves the most, Sister-in-law. You should execute the plan, okay?"
Thinking about her plan, Si Mingjing actually felt a bit timid herself.
"I’ll do it," Yan Zhenxi said. "I’m an outsider. Even if I do something unforgivable, Mo won’t lay a hand on me, although he might take it out on my husband. But for Yan Mu’s sake, let’s sacrifice Qinghan a bit."
Ye Qinghan, who was far away in A Country earning money for baby formula, thought: Whose feathers did I ruffle?
Since someone else was willing to take the lead, the three women planned with newfound courage.
Ye Siyuan said, "When I get back, I’ll suggest to Mom and Dad that we have a family recognition banquet on the day Big Brother returns from his business trip. How about that?"
Si Mingjing nodded, signaling it was a good idea.
Yan Zhenxi said, "Then I’ll tell Yan Mu that he can bring a date, and have him bring Mu Genggeng."
As the three chatted, Yan Zhenxi’s mood suddenly lifted.
Later, they continued strolling and enjoyed a hotpot meal in the evening, only returning home after they had eaten and had their fun.
That very night, Ye Siyuan spoke to her father about wanting to host a banquet at home to celebrate her big brother finding another child, inviting some notable figures from Yecheng to liven things up.
Ye Junqing thought it was an excellent idea and made the arrangements.
The family recognition banquet was set for the day of Mo Yinhe’s return from his business trip, which was four days later, at eight o’clock in the evening.
Mo Yinhe, who was away on business, naturally had no objections upon receiving the news from home and even sent Si Mingjing a message: "I’ll return on time."
"Mhm, waiting for you."
After sending the message, Si Mingjing felt a bit nervous. This time, to stop Mu Genggeng from bossing Yan Mu around, she could only sacrifice her own husband. She hoped that when the time came, he wouldn’t be too angry.
Si Mingjing remembered that, several months ago, she had promised to knit scarves for him and the children. Months had passed, and she had made little progress on them. As the days gradually grew colder and autumn gave way to winter, she felt she should pick up the pace. So, in the following days, Si Mingjing didn’t go anywhere. She stayed at home, focused on knitting a scarf for Mo Yinhe, striving to finish it before he returned from his business trip. That way, if he really got angry, she would still have the scarf as a lifesaver.
And so, the days went by, fulfilling and busy.
「Four days later」
The Ye Family hosted a banquet, inviting many of Yecheng’s elites to attend. Ye Junqing was delighted, wishing the whole city knew he had six grandsons and two granddaughters—a true blessing of many children, a great fortune for the family!
The banquet was set for the evening, and Mo Yinhe returned in the afternoon.
After coming back, carrying local specialties he had bought from his trip, Mo Yinhe walked with long strides to his residence in the East Garden of the palace, calling out for Si Mingjing as soon as he entered the house.
"Baby, you weren’t at the helipad to pick me up!"
Mo Yinhe was quite dissatisfied with this. His tone was like that of a complaining wife.
Looking up and seeing Si Mingjing sitting on the living room sofa, doing nothing but focusing on knitting a scarf, all his complaints vanished. He walked over and smiled.
"How come you’re knitting a scarf today? I thought you had forgotten about it."
Mo Yinhe had always been looking forward to the scarf she was knitting, but after several months, she had knitted so little that he had given up hope. To his surprise, after just a week-long business trip, the scarf in her hands was almost finished.
Mo Yinhe was both surprised and delighted. He quickly sat beside her, lifted her chin, and gave her a gentle kiss.
He asked, "What makes you so virtuous today?"
Si Mingjing pursed her lips and smiled.
The kiss Mo Yinhe left on her lips was gentle and filled with longing. Si Mingjing felt it, and happiness bloomed in her heart.
Mo Yinhe said, "Baby, you’re so good."
Si Mingjing pushed him away gently. "I can finish it today. I’m rushing to get it done, so I didn’t go to the helipad to pick you up."
"I don’t blame you." Mo Yinhe kissed her cheek again.
He held gifts he had specifically bought for her—not anything rare, just local specialties and handicrafts he and Bo Leng had picked out while shopping together. Bo Leng had also bought some for Lou Manman. Although they were small trinkets, both men had chosen them carefully.
Having grown accustomed to giving incredibly valuable gifts, occasionally putting effort into finding small trinkets was also a kind of pleasure for men. Men hoped women could appreciate this sentiment too, and not just scoff and reject a gift because it wasn’t expensive.
"Here’s your gift. Open it and take a look."
"Wait a bit, let me finish knitting."
"Mhm, no rush."
Mo Yinhe sat beside her, leisurely crossing his long legs, watching her knit the scarf. He found the sight pleasing and they chatted sporadically.
