CHAPTER 300: CHAPTER 300: WAHHH... YOU TOOK THIS BABY’S **! 1

"WAAAHHH—"

Gu Shurong cried even harder. After all, he was just a child. Afraid of being kidnapped, he immediately capitulated.

"This little one will call! I’ll call right now!"

Si Mingjing placed him on the sofa, gently ruffling his little head twice. "Such a good boy~~"

Gu Shurong, pouting, was not comforted at all.

He called Ye Jingzhe for help. He immediately wailed, "WAAAHHH, save this little one, quick!"

Ye Jingzhe was immersed in his studies when he saw the caller ID. He answered the call coldly. As soon as it connected, he heard Gu Shurong’s voice asking for help.

Ye Jingzhe paused.

"WAAAHHH! Did you scam someone out of a billion? You have to give the money back! The creditor is at the door now! They want to take this little one away! This little one is so scared~~ Hurry up and pay them back! Hurry! It has to be fast!"

Ye Jingzhe narrowed his stormy eyes. He gleaned a crucial piece of information from the boy’s words: Gu Shurong had been kidnapped.

Who dared to touch someone under my protection?

"Are you okay?"

Gu Shurong didn’t reply. Instead, an adult man’s voice came through the phone.

"Come over. I’ll be waiting for you in your hotel room. You don’t need to pay me back; consider it an advance for the necklace. Just bring it to me."

Ye Jingzhe was like a miniature iceberg, radiating a bone-chilling cold. "Listen," he said, his voice like ice, "if you dare lay a finger on Gu Shurong, I’ll make you regret being born!"

Mo Yinhe’s aura was even colder. No one had ever dared to threaten him like this. He gave a calm, leisurely sneer. "Let’s see if you know what’s good for you. You have three minutes to appear before me. Otherwise, the Gu Shurong you see next will be missing a few limbs."

So this chubby little kid is named Gu Shurong, Mo Yinhe thought.

Ye Jingzhe frowned. Three minutes? Even if he took a plane, he couldn’t possibly get from Mu Continent to Atlantis in three minutes.

"I’ll return the money. Give me your account number."

This was the only thing Ye Jingzhe could do. But Mo Yinhe didn’t want money. What he wanted was the "Soul of the Sea" necklace.

Nearby, Gu Shurong shrieked, "HELP—WAAAHHH— Ye Jingzhe, you have to come save this little one!"

"Three minutes. Bring the Soul of the Sea to me." Mo Yinhe’s voice brooked no argument.

Ye Jingzhe seethed, the little iceberg barely containing his fury. "The Soul of the Sea isn’t with me. I need to retrieve it. Give me two days!"

Ye Jingzhe would never give up the Soul of the Sea! He was keeping it for his mother! Although he didn’t know who his parents were, that wouldn’t stop him from giving the Soul of the Sea to his mother as a first-meeting gift once he found her. He was buying two days’ time to save Gu Shurong.

"Fine. We’ll speak again in two days. I’m taking the child now," Mo Yinhe said before hanging up.

And so, the unfortunate little chubby Gu Shurong was abducted.

On the rooftop "vehicle platform," Gu Shurong pointed at a Whale Shark Submersible, its entire body encrusted with diamonds—the epitome of gaudiness.

"WAAAHHH— This little one will give you the submersible! Will you let this little one go then? This little one’s submersible is very valuable~~"

Si Mingjing, holding the little meatball Gu Shurong, asked, "So this submersible belongs to your parents?"

"It’s all yours! Just let this little one go!!!"

"Not interested," Mo Yinhe stated flatly. Then he had Gu Shurong taken onto his own submersible.

Ten Whale Shark Submersibles then sped away. A few minutes later, they docked at the heavily fortified palace’s mooring platform.

Mo Yinhe returned to the palace’s council building. He had official duties to attend to during the day; his schedule was packed.

Si Mingjing spoke up, "I’ll take the child back to the palace. He’s probably terrified. Perhaps if I take him to keep Xiaobai company, it will calm him down. We mustn’t frighten the child into illness; that would be a grave misstep."

"Very well," Mo Yinhe agreed. He had no desire to harm the child. He arranged for people to escort Si Mingjing and the child back to the palace.

Ye Nianbai had a horsemanship lesson in the morning.

After arriving at the palace, Si Mingjing, still carrying the little meatball Gu Shurong, headed to the stables behind the palace to find Xiaobai.

On the vast riding ground, Xiaobai, dressed in smart equestrian attire, sat atop a brown Sweat-Blooded Precious Horse, tightly gripping the reins. A trainer stood beside him, holding the horse.

Gu Shurong had always lived in the Undersea World of Mu Continent. There were no horsemanship lessons in the Undersea World, and Gu Shurong had never seen such a handsome and majestic Sweat-Blooded Precious Horse before.

"WOW! Bad woman, what kind of animal is that?"

"It’s a horse. Haven’t you seen one before?"

"Th-this little one has, of course! There’s nothing this little one hasn’t seen!" Gu Shurong would never admit his ignorance.

Si Mingjing noticed the excitement in the little fatty’s eyes. Seeing that the child had finally stopped crying, she asked, "Do you want to learn to ride with that big brother there?"

"Why should he be this little one’s big brother?" Gu Shurong was already Ye Jingzhe’s underling. Now, he only wanted to recruit his own underlings; he had no intention of calling another boy ’big brother’.

"How old are you?" Si Mingjing asked with a smile.

Gu Shurong tilted his chubby little head. "This little one is five!"

"That big brother is also five this year. You’re the same age. What month were you born?"

"March."

He was actually born in November, but Gu Shurong didn’t want to be the younger one, so he deliberately said March.

"Oh, then you’re older than Xiaobai. Xiaobai was born in November."

After Ye Nianbai, seated on the horse, was led around by the trainer, Si Mingjing approached with Gu Shurong to greet him.

"Xiaobai, come here. Let me introduce you to an older brother."

The trainer lifted Ye Nianbai off the tall Sweat-Blooded Precious Horse, and he scampered over to Si Mingjing. When he saw Si Mingjing holding another little boy, Ye Nianbai instantly grew wary, as if his Jingjing was about to be snatched away. He asked loudly, "Jingjing, who is he?"

Si Mingjing patiently explained, "This big brother is visiting for a few days. Xiaobai, how about you play with big brother, okay?"

"Why is he ’big brother’? He’s shorter than me!" Ye Nianbai stood in front of Gu Shurong, measuring their heights. He was just a tiny smidgen taller. Since I’m taller, I should be the big brother! he thought.

Not to be outdone, Gu Shurong pinched his own chubby cheeks. "You’re skinnier than me! From now on, you’ll be my little underling!" He was proud of his chubbiness! Ye Jingzhe was also thinner than him, but he wouldn’t dare speak to Ye Jingzhe like that. Gu Shurong was very good at picking his battles.

Ye Nianbai rolled his eyes repeatedly. He didn’t want to play with this short little fatty. He coolly jutted out his chin and said with disdain, "Jingjing, Your Lordship wants to continue his riding lesson."

Si Mingjing sighed helplessly and raised her voice. "Alright then, I guess I’ll just take this big brother to play with your little sisters."

"Wait a minute!" The little sisters are mine! How can I share them with this little fatty?

Ye Nianbai immediately changed his tune. "Jingjing, Your Lordship suddenly feels up to it now, okay~"

Si Mingjing smiled. "Good boy. Treat big brother well. You two can learn to ride together."
