CHAPTER 220: CHAPTER 220 SI MINGJING PUBLICLY DECLARES LOVE FOR MO YINHE! 3

WHOA!!!!

Ye Shen was feeling down. His Tangtang was ignoring him, and he felt like he was on the verge of a breakup.

He was listlessly sprawled on the living room sofa, scrolling through Weibo.

He never, in his wildest dreams, expected to stumble upon his sister-in-law publicly declaring her love for his older brother on Weibo!

Ye Shen felt as if he’d just seen the sun rise in the west.

He shot up from the sofa like a spring.

He vigorously rubbed his ’aluminum alloy mermaid’ eyes.

His voice boomed through the living room like thunder.

"Sis! Sis! Quick, open Weibo! I think my Weibo app is bugged!"

"What’s all the shouting about? Are you crazy?"

Ye Siyuan was at the piano, holding Little Liangliang on her lap.

Watching Little Liangliang’s nimble fingers dance across the black and white keys, Ye Siyuan was pleasantly surprised. She had never imagined that her little niece, only four and a half years old, could play the piano so well—she was truly multi-talented!

Ye Shen rushed over to Ye Siyuan with lightning speed. "Quick, open Weibo and search for Sister-in-law’s page!"

Ye Siyuan tapped into the trending topics, found Si Mingjing’s Weibo, and opened her profile page.

The first post was a retweet of someone else’s message.

That person had written: "@Si Mingjing, cat got your tongue? Why so quiet now? Didn’t you say that ’beauty is in the eye of the beholder,’ and no matter how great Mo Yinhe is, he couldn’t possibly compare to your childhood sweetheart?..."

His sister-in-law’s reply consisted of just two words: [Awesome!]

Ye Siyuan gasped in excitement.

"Emma, is Sister-in-law going public with her relationship?"

Ye Shen instantly knew it wasn’t a bug on his phone. He practically danced with excitement. "My sister-in-law is so refreshingly direct! I absolutely have to ’like’ this!"

Ye Siyuan had already smashed the ’like’ button!

Ye Shen was a beat slower.

Just then, both their phones buzzed with a new notification.

His older brother had also posted on Weibo?

They saw that their brother had used his main account to retweet the post from his wife, adding a single word and an emoji:

[Good girl~ [head pat emoji]]

Mo Yinhe’s verified Weibo account usually featured rather formulaic content: establishing diplomatic relations with various terrestrial nations, photo ops with terrestrial presidents, official visits to terrestrial countries, attendance at terrestrial international conferences, and so on.

In a word, it was: super high-profile and official!

This was the first time in recent years that Mo Yinhe had posted anything related to his private life.

A simple "Good girl," and a "head pat," filled to the brim with affection.

Mo Yinhe was a towering figure in the political sphere; his Weibo follower count easily dwarfed that of any top entertainment superstar.

The moment his message went live, Weibo’s traffic instantly exploded!

You have to understand, it was almost quitting time! The tech guys had already mentally checked out and were getting ready to shut down their computers when Mo Yinhe pulled this stunt!

The sudden surge in traffic nearly crashed the server systems!

All the Weibo tech support staff were notified they had to work emergency overtime!

The Weibo platform absolutely could not crash! The tech guys were ready to curse Mo Yinhe to death!

The supervisor said, "You should count yourselves lucky. Imagine if this had happened at the same time tomorrow—that’s our last workday, and the day after is the start of the New Year holiday. That would have been a real nightmare!"

Thinking about it that way, the tech guys couldn’t help but feel immensely grateful to Mo Yinhe!

If he had posted it at this time tomorrow, how would they ever manage to get off work, catch their high-speed trains, brave the congested highways, and rush back to their hometowns for the New Year?

Si Mingjing’s Weibo post hadn’t actually caused much of a stir, given her limited number of followers and relatively small influence.

Even if she found it "Awesome!", that could only suggest she wanted to ride Mo Yinhe’s coattails.

Whether Mo Yinhe was willing to offer his coattails for her to ride, however, depended entirely on his mood!

After all, Si Mingjing had publicly slighted Mo Yinhe during her press interview!

Any man with a shred of dignity wouldn’t deign to offer her a chance again!

But Mo Yinhe had not only offered, he even seemed to feel he hadn’t offered enough!

When the netizens saw this, they all lost their minds.

"OMG! What am I seeing! @Mo Yinhe, Crown Prince, have you completely forgotten your dignity and pride as a major figure?"

——"Forgotten!"

This wasn’t Mo Yinhe’s reply, but Ye Shen’s.

"@Mo Yinhe, Crown Prince, were you hacked? Si Mingjing just declared her undying loyalty to her first love and said she has zero interest in you! You’re a big shot; big shots need to have some backbone! Has a dog eaten yours?"

——"Since when do you need backbone to chase a girl?"

This, too, wasn’t Mo Yinhe’s reply, but Ye Siyuan’s.

"@Mo Yinhe @Si Mingjing, so, is this an official relationship announcement? Even if Si Mingjing’s mother isn’t a murderer, that doesn’t change the fact that Si Mingjing grew up on Prison Star. Could a top-tier, wealthy family like the Ye Family truly allow a girl with her background to marry in?! Would Ye Xinguang ever approve of a daughter-in-law like Si Mingjing?"

——"I like Mingjing very much."

This was posted by Ye Xinguang, who, seeing her children excitedly gathered in the living room, had opened Weibo and chimed in.

"..."

The netizens were dumbfounded! Utterly dumbfounded!

"So, her younger brother-in-law, younger sister-in-law, and even her mother-in-law are all on Weibo supporting Si Mingjing. How on earth did Si Mingjing manage this?"

"Is her luck just too good to be true?"

"So, is the father-in-law the only one not yet on board?"

Mo Yinhe’s father, Ye Junqing, was currently at a gathering with some old friends, completely oblivious to the storm brewing on Weibo.

Was he just an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire?

"It’s infuriating to compare! I graduated from a prestigious university with top marks in both IQ and EQ, and I still haven’t found a boyfriend. Meanwhile, others don’t need to burn the midnight oil studying; they can just return to Earth, inherit a multi-billion-dollar fortune, and marry the most powerful man around?"

...

The netizens were all green with envy!

Si Mingjing herself was stunned. She looked up at Mo Yinhe, who had clearly broken the rules, "Didn’t you just tell me to reply with two words?"

"And wasn’t it?"

Mo Yinhe sat languidly in his chair. The fading rays of the setting sun spilled in from beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows, dappling his face with fragmented light and shadow, making him appear all the more dashingly handsome.

He was smirking, the corners of his mouth lifting in a lazy curve. When he smiled, his eyes, exceptionally slanted and long, resembled a bright crescent moon in the night sky, sparkling with faint ripples—devastatingly handsome.

He held her in his arms, his own heart stirring with ripples of emotion.

"Mingjing, you said it yourself. You said I’m ’awesome,’ and I’ve taken that to heart."

Si Mingjing’s face flushed crimson. She felt she had sacrificed far too much for the Song Group’s stock prices. Annoyed, she stomped on his foot hard and wriggled out of his embrace.

"At the four-nation summit, who was it whose opinion of me did a complete one-eighty? You’re the one who thinks I’m ’awesome’ now, aren’t you?"

Si Mingjing was terrified of losing the upper hand in their relationship. Though her words were sharp, the Ye Family was genuinely a place that made one feel incredibly warm.

Whether it was Ye Shen, Ye Siyuan, or Mo Yinhe’s mother, every one of them treated her with genuine kindness.

A warmth spread through Si Mingjing’s heart.

A family like this held an irresistible, almost fatal, attraction for her.
