CHAPTER 297: CHAPTER 297: MO YINHE FEELS HIS WIFE’S PARTIALITY! 2

"I never expected the mere Xingguang Island to attract not just one esteemed Crown Prince from Mu Continent but also two princes of no less significant stature. What kind of wind has blown this way?"

As there was no alcohol present, Mo Yinhe held up a glass of corn juice. With a smile that was more like a sneer, he said, "Regardless, guests are to be honored. I toast to you all. Enjoy your food and drink, and you need not trouble yourselves courting my woman! I wonder when Crown Prince Lisao plans to leave Yecheng?"

In everything Mo Yinhe said, he was clearly trying to shoo them off, stopping just short of saying: Don’t you look down upon terrestrial nations? What brings you to show off in Yecheng now?

Si Lisao seemed utterly indifferent to Mo Yinhe’s sarcasm.

He also held up a glass of corn juice, his demeanor reserved and steady. "I am here to watch the interstellar athletic championship."

Mo Yinhe looked at Si Lisao coldly, sizing him up. "Oh? If I’m not mistaken, there are still ten days before the interstellar athletic championship begins. Crown Prince Lisao, you’ve arrived quite early."

"I’m just taking advantage of the opportunity to have a little vacation. Is that unwelcome?"

"Am I such a petty person?"

Mo Yinhe gave a forced smile, his probing gaze shifting from Si Lisao to Sheng Liuyun and Yun Yin. "Are you two also here for a vacation?"

"To see Liangliang!" said Sheng Liuyun.

Yun Yin’s large hand gently caressed Yun Xiaosu’s hair. "Looking for Susu."

"Uncle, Susu doesn’t want to go home!"

Yun Xiaosu was still in a state of shock and fear, worried she might never be able to stay with her sister again. She posed a soul-searching question to Yun Yin, "Why didn’t Uncle tell Susu that Liangliang is Susu’s real sister?"

Yun Yin caressed Yun Xiaosu’s face, blatantly lying with eyes wide open. "You are a child picked up by your uncle; I had no idea that you and Liangliang were real sisters."

Mo Yinhe squinted, his expression turning deadly. "And where did Prince Yun happen to find this ’picked up’ child?"

Yun Yin responded, "Picked up a random egg from a trash can."

Yun Xiaosu: "..."

Yun Xiaosu burst into tears with a "WAAAHHH!"

"Uncle is bad!"

Yun Yin picked up a piece of shrimp paste, blew on it until it was warm, and offered it to Xiao Susu’s mouth. "Although picked up from a trash can, you are an invaluable treasure in Uncle’s heart."

Puffing her cheeks in anger, Yun Xiaosu bit into the delicious shrimp paste. After finishing, she smacked her lips. "Her Highness will forgive Uncle just this once."

Yun Yin served her another piece.

It was evident that Yun Yin doted on his adopted niece immensely.

Mo Yinhe didn’t single anyone out for questioning any further. He was quite astute and felt that something was amiss. Surely there were secrets unknown to others within the Dragon Clan of Mu Continent!

Do they all want to run over here to become his brothers-in-law?

The day wasn’t even over, and they were already daydreaming!

The hotpot meal was not as perfect as Mo Yinhe had imagined. Throughout the dinner, he barely spoke and wore a consistently grim expression.

Si Mingjing enjoyed eating hotpot, and she took the opportunity to ask Si Lisao many questions about the Dragon Clan.

"Crown Prince, I heard that long ago, the people of Mu Continent also lived on land. It was only after a prehistoric great flood that the continent was submerged. After sinking into the Undersea, how did the people continue to thrive and multiply?"

Si Mingjing was very curious.

From her memories, she had bought a hundred years for Mu Continent to save itself. She wondered how the people had gradually adapted to life in the Undersea during that century.

Si Lisao then engaged in idle chatter with her about the history of the people of Mu Continent’s struggles and development in the Undersea World, highlighting a significant figure—the Saintess.

The Saintess, who sacrificed herself to save the masses, was the most crucial figure behind Mu Continent’s veneration of the Dragon Clan as their totem.

To commemorate her, the people built the Dragon Temple.

Si Mingjing felt deeply relieved. "What happened after that? The protection spell set by the Saintess could only protect the people for a hundred years. During that time, did they never consider returning to land? Did they adapt to life in the Undersea?"

Si Lisao said that at first, they did consider returning to land, but alas, those who ventured out of the protection spell never returned, their fates unknown.

Humans are creatures fearful of death; unless pushed to the brink, they prefer to cling to their own small piece of land and just get by.

Day by day, year by year, those who could adapt to the Undersea environment survived. Those who couldn’t, perished.

Darwin’s theory of evolution explains it well—natural selection, survival of the fittest.

Si Mingjing was filled with emotion. "I heard that on the walls of the Dragon Temple, there are murals of two dances. If I get the chance, I would like to see those murals."

Si Lisao earnestly tempted, "After I return to our country, Little Sister, you can come with me to Mu Continent and see the place where a Dragon Clan girl truly belongs."

Mo Yinhe’s face turned ashen. He knew Si Lisao was up to no good, trying to spirit away his wife!

"Great..." Si Mingjing was very interested in Mu Continent and had just uttered one word when Mo Yinhe shot her a fierce glare.

Great what? He really wanted to whisk her away immediately and hide her in the palace, where no one else could covet her or even entertain the thought of taking her away!

Mo Yinhe gripped her wrist a bit too tightly.

Si Mingjing’s wrist hurt, and she stepped on his foot.

Mo Yinhe didn’t even frown. Though his voice was calm, it rippled with unspoken emotion, "Are you done eating? If so, let’s go home!"

Seeing her chat with other men made Mo Yinhe want to go on a rampage!

"Daddy, can Liangliang sleep with Uncle tonight? Liangliang really misses Uncle~"

Sheng Liangliang didn’t want to go home. After all, being a child, it was natural to miss her uncle after several days apart.

"Daddy, Susu also wants to stay with Uncle."

Mo Yinhe wanted to refuse, but both daughters were looking at him with misty eyes full of anticipation, as if he would be the bad guy if he didn’t agree.

Sheng Liuyun’s days of brooding were finally soothed by Liangliang’s heartwarming words.

Fearing Mo Yinhe’s petty refusal, Sheng Liuyun said, "Don’t worry, I won’t take Liangliang away. If I really wanted to, do you think you could stop me?"

Given Sheng Liuyun’s ability to turn into a Giant Dragon and fly away, Mo Yinhe indeed had no way to stop him.

The key was who the children were willing to follow!

Mo Yinhe eventually agreed to his daughters’ requests.

Then he took Si Mingjing and Xiaobai and left.

On the way to the palace, Si Mingjing said, "Mo Yinhe, don’t you feel they’re overly enthusiastic towards me?"

Mo Yinhe gave her a dark look.

"You’re just realizing that? Not one of them has good intentions! Stay away from them in the future!"

"But I haven’t felt any hostility."

Si Mingjing didn’t mind. As the car drove through the streets, passing a building over thirty stories high, she gazed out of the window, taking in the sight of it a few more times.

That building was the one Uncle Ye had given her.

It was named Yinhai Building.

Her mind was now occupied with acquiring Song Group, restructuring it, and completely transforming Song Group into Si Group.

Actually, it wasn’t difficult. She had already completed all the paperwork, and specialists would handle the matter from now on.
