Whether it was the children’s sincere devotion that touched the heavens or not, half an hour later, Si Mingjing’s fever actually subsided.
Overjoyed, Mo Yinhe decided to take the kids to the amusent park the next day as a reward for their filial piety.
Dressed in matching family outfits at the amusent park, they were simply the most dazzling sight and inadvertently sparked a viral sensation.
"Oh my goodness! Where did these four little cuties co from? They are too adorable; I want to take them ho!"
"AHHH! I happened to see them while shopping today, and all four cuties were in matching outfits. Could they really be siblings?"
"How is that possible? Mo Yinhe only has one son, our glittering Little Prince. The others must be fake, right?"
"@Ye Shen, please spill the beans, what’s going on?"
"@Ye Shen, I’m begging you to spill the beans, or else I won’t be able to sleep tonight!"
"@Ye Nianbai, little darling, reveal it yourself!"
Two minutes later, Ye Nianbai, the Little Demon King, updated his Weibo account, which boasted 300 million followers, with the latest post.
"Of course, they are my little brothers and sisters, really! As close as can be! From now on, I’ll be an older brother, and Dad says I should act the part!"
The netizens didn’t believe it.
Didn’t Miss Bai only have one child?
However, they didn’t expect Ye Shen to update his Weibo so soon: "Surprise! Bet you didn’t see this coming! My sister-in-law had quadruplets! Her luck is off the charts!"
The netizens were all stunned. "..." was the universal response.
What’s going on?!!!
Quadruplets? Are they telling us this is true?
"Oh my God! Doesn’t that an Si Mingjing is going to be the stepmother to four kids? Does she still need to have her own?"
Suddenly, netizens realized that Si Mingjing, despite being the object of much envy and hatred, didn’t seem so lucky after all.
The future throne of Atlantis was certainly destined for Xiaobai. If not Xiaobai, it would go to one of the other chubby children. So, even if Si Mingjing married Mo Yinhe and had a son, her child wouldn’t stand a chance at inheriting the throne, would he?
"So tragic, the number one stepmother of the wealthy elite."
...
Si Mingjing, the object of widespread sympathy online, had just left the amusent park.
She was browsing Weibo in the car, ignoring the sympathetic comnts from netizens, as her attention was wholly captured by another trending topic.
#Huo Group’s Second Young Master Escapes Prison; Famous Seafood Conglorate Huo Group Goes Bankrupt#
Clicking on the trending topic, the details were as follows: On the evening two days prior, soone had broken into the detention center and rescued Huo Hailou, the Huo Family’s second young master, who was charged with attempted murder. He was now at large, and the police had issued a city-wide manhunt. When officers arrived at the Huo Family residence, they found it deserted; the Huo Group had filed for bankruptcy...
Si Mingjing’s eyes narrowed as she read. "It says here on the trending topic that the Huo Group has gone bankrupt and collapsed. Was this your doing?"
She thought it was Mo Yinhe’s work, but Mo Yinhe shook his head, his eyes narrowed.
He had indeed orchestrated Huo Hailou’s removal from the detention center, creating the illusion of an escape, but he hadn’t yet had the chance to deal with the rest of the Huo Family.
Mo Yinhe sneered. "They probably got scared of my revenge and packed up to flee. Heh, they sure took off quickly!"
"What about Huo Hailou?"
"He’s finished."
Mo Yinhe had taken Huo Hailou from the detention center. After torturing him to identify the mastermind, he crippled Huo Hailou and dumped him at the entrance of the Huo family villa.
Huo Hailou would be bedridden for the rest of his life, never to rise again.
Anyone who dares to harm my woman deserves a life worse than death!
Si Mingjing’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, a faint smile on her lips. "Looks like a guilty conscience made them pack up and flee."
At this mont, the chubby tot Gu Shurong received a call from his uncle and jumped up excitedly. "Really? Uncle, are you coming to pick up and take ho?"
Mo Yinhe and Si Mingjing paused their conversation and turned to look at their son, who was eager to go ho.
"Okay, okay, I know! I’ll be there right away!"
Gu Shurong had been eagerly waiting and was thrilled to finally hear from his uncle. After hanging up, he said crisply, "Mommy! My uncle has arranged a banquet to thank you for curing my illness. Uncle said there will be lots of at—pork, beef, lamb, rabbit... It’ll be super delicious!"
The chubby tot was practically drooling as he spoke.
"Mommy, will you go?"
Si Mingjing smiled. "Sure."
She was now interested in eting all the uncles who had taken care of her children.
Soon, Gu Changbin sent over the address.
He had booked a private room in a well-known restaurant in the Imperial Capital of A Country specifically to treat Si Mingjing to a al.
Si Mingjing and Mo Yinhe arrived at the restaurant with the children and found Sheng Liuyun and Yun Yin in the private room. Sheng Liangliang and Yun Xiaosu imdiately grew excited and rushed over.
"Uncle~~"
"Uncle~~"
"Uncle~~"
Three calls of "Uncle," as three Little Dragons dashed towards three different n.
Only Ye Nianbai stood quietly beside Mo Yinhe. He suddenly looked up and asked a thought-provoking question, "Daddy, why don’t I have an uncle?"
Mo Yinhe picked him up. With a cool snort, he said in his clear voice, "You have . What do you need an uncle for? Can an uncle help you inherit the throne?"
Mo Yinhe had also seen the netizens’ comnts on Weibo suggesting that the future throne of Atlantis would belong to Xiaobai, so he used it to tease his son.
But children are naturally competitive.
They all shared the sa parents, yet his younger siblings had uncles while Xiaobai did not. This made Xiaobai feel like he was missing sothing, and he grumbled and whined for a good while.
"Let Uncle take a look and see if you’ve truly recovered."
Gu Changbin picked up Gu Shurong, placed him on a chair, and lifted his little shirt to check his tummy for the insulin pump that used to be attached there.
Of course, it wasn’t found!
Gu Changbin was overjoyed. He walked up to Si Mingjing and, before anyone could react, embraced her in a hug, laughing heartily.
"Sis! You’re amazing! For five years, I invited countless famous doctors, but none could cure Shurong’s illness. Yet, you healed him in just over half a month! You truly are my sis, Gu Changbin’s very own!"
Before he could hug her to his heart’s content, Si Mingjing was pulled away by the fiercely possessive Mo Yinhe.
Mo Yinhe, tall and imposing, shielded Si Mingjing behind him. He smiled and exchanged pleasantries with Gu Changbin. "So, you are the renowned Prince Gu of Mu Continent. I’ve long heard of your fa. It’s a pleasure to et you today. Thank you for raising my son."
Gu Changbin had a nickna in Mu Continent: The Empire’s Number One Fat Dragon!
Mo Yinhe had never dealt with Gu Changbin before and only knew that this Prince Gu was not interested in power, only in good food.
No wonder he raised my son to be so chubby.
Though their facial features bore no resemblance, the adult and child standing together shared such an air of contentnt they seed cast from the sa mold.
Among the princes of Mu Continent, Gu Changbin was the only one who had never opposed Mo Yinhe.
Upon their first eting, Gu Changbin said, "So, this is my brother-in-law? A pleasure to et you. We’ve hit it off so well today; why don’t we raise our glasses and drink to our hearts’ content?"
