My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband-Chapter 629 Si Lisao: Not Angry, Just Jealous 1
Ye Siyuan looked at the WeChat message and was so furious she wanted to strangle Si Mingjing. She lunged at her neck.
However, Si Mingjing quickly sidestepped, and Ye Siyuan missed.
Sitting beside her with a mischievous smile, Si Mingjing asked, "What did the Crown Prince send you?"
"Hmph, I’m not telling you."
Ye Siyuan, driven by a strong desire to survive, turned her back to Si Mingjing and replied to the message, "Don’t listen to my sister-in-law’s nonsense—what girl hasn’t been foolish at some point? Ever since I fell for you, I have never had feelings for any other boy. I swear on the noble Sea God of Atlantis!"
Si Lisao replied, "So, you really can knit? Knit one for me to wear on our engagement day."
They were going to be engaged in December, during the coldest time of the year; it would definitely be sweater weather, Ye Siyuan thought.
Driven by her strong survival instinct, Ye Siyuan immediately responded, "No problem, I’ll knit it for you. You’re not allowed to be angry."
Si Lisao replied, "I’m not angry, just jealous. How did you two break up?"
Ye Siyuan sat up straight and rushed to explain, "We never dated, okay! My brother didn’t approve of him and casually nipped my budding romance in the bud. I was just momentarily infatuated; I’ve long since forgotten that boy. If you don’t believe me, ask my brother."
Si Lisao didn’t reply again. Is he busy, or perhaps jealous and doesn’t want to talk to me?
Since Ye Siyuan didn’t get a reply from Si Lisao, she grew anxious. After some thought, she added, "I’ll also knit you a scarf. Scarves are super trendy in Atlantis these days, and a lot of men like to buy them."
Si Lisao sent a short reply, "Good."
He added, "I’m not mad."
Only then did Ye Siyuan relax. She turned around to glare at Si Mingjing.
With a mischievous smirk, Si Mingjing asked, "What did my brother say?"
"Sister-in-law, I’ll remember this!" Ye Siyuan declared.
She huffed and then left.
「An hour later」
She returned from shopping with yarn and needles and sat next to Si Mingjing, knitting sweaters together.
Si Mingjing’s laughter became even more unrestrained. She had tattled to the Crown Prince just to have someone to knit scarves with her.
Now that her goal was achieved, she earnestly consulted Ye Siyuan on how to knit sweaters that looked even better. Little did she know, Ye Siyuan hadn’t knitted in many years. Actually, when it came to skill, they were six of one and half a dozen of the other. This kind of thing also required practice to make perfect.
Where would Ye Siyuan get such "practice"? While knitting, she scratched her head. "Isn’t this how you knit? I remember it being like this."
Si Mingjing was speechless. "..."
It was Old Madam Ye who was truly skilled. She patiently taught them both step-by-step; even wearing her reading glasses, she knitted better than they did.
Si Mingjing, a sweet-talker, tried to win over Old Madam Ye. "Grandma, how do you know how to do everything? You’re truly the most amazing grandma!"
Old Madam Ye was charmed, her face beaming with smiles.
Just then, Yan Zhenxi arrived. She was there to bid farewell to everyone, as she was heading back to A Country that day.
Old Madam Ye held her granddaughter-in-law Yan Zhenxi’s hand, reluctant to let go.
Yan Zhenxi said, "Grandma, why don’t you come back to Yecheng with me? My in-laws think that since the epidemic in Yecheng hasn’t completely cleared, it would be best if you and Grandpa also returned to A Country. You’re both getting on in years and must take very good care of yourselves."
"What’s there to fear? Mingjing is at home," Old Madam Ye replied. She wouldn’t leave. A Country might only have one grandson, but here, she had eight little dragon cubs. When one grew old, one liked to have many children around to bring joy.
Yan Zhenxi didn’t insist. After saying her goodbyes, she left. Ye Siyuan and Si Mingjing saw her off. Ye Junqing had arranged a private plane to take Yan Zhenxi, sparing her the need to take a commercial flight.
After Yan Zhenxi left, the two continued knitting their sweaters. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
This went on for over a week, with the "challenging" sister-in-law and future sister-in-law duo keeping at it.
It wasn’t until Dean Chen called Si Mingjing to inform her that both Yecheng University and its affiliated hospital had zero infections. A celebration banquet and commendation ceremony were being planned to honor those who had contributed to treating the epidemic. Only then did Si Mingjing set aside her scarf and get busy with official matters.
The recent epidemic in Yecheng had started with a lot of thunder but produced little rain; it hadn’t spread and was contained within Yecheng University and the hospital. Although it hadn’t spread, Mu Genggeng’s reputation was now thoroughly established. With another medical genius emerging from the medical school, how could Dean Chen not publicize it extensively? He hadn’t forgotten to keep the media informed over the past few days. So, in fact, Mu Genggeng had been a prominent figure in the news recently, lauded by various media outlets and featured in front-page headlines.
On the phone, Si Mingjing laughed meaningfully. "An awards ceremony? Of course, I’ll be there on time."
She had been concentrating on knitting the scarf these past few days, waiting for an occasion just like this awards ceremony.
After she hung up, Ye Siyuan, who was still knitting a sweater by her side, chuckled wickedly. "Sister-in-law, are you finally going to make a move? Deal with her ruthlessly for me! If it weren’t for her, my engagement ceremony would have already taken place. Every time I think about it, I get so worked up."
Si Mingjing consoled Ye Siyuan, "Don’t be impatient. When the time comes, I’ll take you with me so you can watch the show."
Ye Siyuan immediately brightened. "Alright!"
「Two days later」
Yecheng University and its Affiliated Medical School jointly hosted an awards ceremony. It was held in the main auditorium of Yecheng University.
The first row was reserved for city hall leaders. Mayor Ji Qishu sat there, with Si Mingjing and Ye Siyuan by his side, along with the hospital dean, the university president, and others. The second row was for the doctors and medical students who had performed outstandingly during the epidemic, as well as distinguished nurses and orderlies. The third row seated Yecheng University’s renowned professors and the chief physicians from Yecheng University’s Affiliated Hospital. Behind the third row were all the doctors and students involved in the epidemic prevention and control efforts.
Many people attended; all twenty-one rows were filled to capacity, a dense sea of heads.
Even before the awards ceremony began, reporters were already shouldering their cameras, searching for the best angles and positions, eager to provide grand coverage of the joint awards ceremony hosted by Yecheng University and its Affiliated Medical School.
Ye Siyuan, seated in the first row, glanced back and saw Mu Genggeng sitting diagonally behind in the second row, looking smug yet feigning modesty.
Mu Genggeng noticed Ye Siyuan looking at her and deliberately gave her a sickeningly sweet smile, intending to disgust her.
Ye Siyuan huffed loudly and turned her head away, refusing to look at Mu Genggeng again.
Si Mingjing didn’t look back the entire time.
Seated next to her was the dean of the Medical School.
Dean Huo of the Medical School was chatting with Si Mingjing. "Miss Si, the formula you provided to the hospital—although different from Mu Genggeng’s and requiring coordination with Western medicine for treatment—is gentle, and I really like it. But why won’t you let me disclose this?"
