Ye Xinguang saw his son seething with anger and asked in confusion, "What’s wrong? Isn’t that your sister’s shoulder? That dragon tattoo looks just like the one on your sister’s back."
"You’re saying Si Yuan has a dragon tattoo on her back?"
Mo Yinhe’s words seed to force their way out from between his clenched teeth, as if he’d been forced to swallow a fly he couldn’t spit out.
"When did she get a dragon tattooed on her back, and how co I didn’t know about it?"
Ye Xinguang thought for a mont.
"It’s been a few years. She said she missed her sister-in-law and saw it in a tattoo shop, so she got one on her back. What are you so furious about?"
"It’s nothing."
Mo Yinhe’s face was terrifyingly dark.
For years, as her brother, he had never even noticed!
Mo Yinhe felt an indescribable discomfort!
He wanted to return to the palace imdiately, rip the clothes off her back, and see if she really had a dragon tattoo.
Mo Yinhe rushed back to the palace, but the butler told him that Si Yuan had gone out with Mingjing and he didn’t know when she would return.
「...」
Ye Siyuan didn’t want to sit at ho alone; otherwise, she’d find herself obsessively checking trending topics.
So, she went out with Si Mingjing.
They went to visit Bai Danfeng at the hospital.
Bai Danfeng’s ntal state was much better than it had been the past two days. Knowing Si Mingjing had saved her, she grasped her hand, endlessly grateful.
However, the thought of Si Mingjing being Mo Yinhe’s new love made her feel a bit sick.
Bai Danfeng thought of her niece, Bai Jiusi.
Was Mo Yinhe not planning to wait for Jiusi to return?
Si Mingjing was adept at reading people’s hearts and guessed Bai Danfeng’s dilemma from her complicated gaze.
Si Mingjing gave Ye Siyuan a look. So words, when spoken by oneself, might not be as credible as when they ca from soone else’s mouth.
Standing to the side, Ye Siyuan said excitedly, "Auntie Bai, my brother promised you he would find my sister-in-law, and now he has finally kept his promise—he has found her."
Bai Danfeng looked stunned, as if she couldn’t believe it. "Miss Ye, are you telling the truth?"
"Of course! You’re the aunt who loved my sister-in-law the most, and the one she respected most. How could I dare to lie to you?"
Bai Danfeng was overjoyed. She clenched Ye Siyuan’s hand. After a mont’s thought, she asked anxiously, "Miss Ye, you’re not talking about the Xiaojiu your brother divorced, are you? Let tell you, that’s not Xiaojiu. That’s my other niece, Qingshui."
Bai Danfeng knew clearly that it wasn’t Bai Jiusi; it was Bai Qingshui.
The entire Bai Family supported Bai Qingshui in getting plastic surgery to look like Bai Jiusi. Bai Danfeng, who had been expelled from the family, had no say in the matter. If she had, she would have stopped it.
Why undergo surgery to look like her sister when she was perfectly fine as herself?
Bai Danfeng didn’t approve, but Bai Qingshui wouldn’t listen. If she said too much, Bai Qingshui would get annoyed. As her aunt, Bai Danfeng could only keep her opinions to herself.
"Of course not. My brother has long known that was an imposter. My sister-in-law would never dream of divorcing my brother."
"So they’ve really found Jiusi?"
Bai Danfeng was so excited she wanted to jump out of bed imdiately. "Where? Where is Jiusi? Take to see her quickly."
Ye Siyuan cald the overly excited Bai Danfeng and said, "Auntie Bai, she’s as far away as the horizon and as close as right before your eyes. It’s Si Mingjing who pulled you back from Ghost Gate Pass."
"What? How is that possible? Miss Ye, don’t try to fool . How could Miss Si possibly be Xiaojiu?"
Bai Danfeng couldn’t believe it; she thought Ye Siyuan was just ssing with her.
"If you don’t believe , ask your sister-in-law. Ask her if she is Bai Jiusi."
Bai Danfeng still didn’t believe it. Her skeptical gaze swept Si Mingjing up and down. She kept shaking her head.
"Miss Si, Miss Ye is teasing , isn’t she?"
Si Mingjing smiled slightly. "Auntie Bai, I believe I am Bai Jiusi. You can judge for yourself."
With that, she suddenly transford into an incredibly cute, chibi-style little dragon. She leaped onto the hospital bed, tilted her adorable little head, and t Bai Danfeng’s gaze.
Instantly, tears welled in Bai Danfeng’s eyes and spilled over.
Her heart pounded, and her hands trembled.
Bai Danfeng hugged the chibi-style little dragon close, gently stroking the silver-white scales on its back and poking its light pink, fuzzy belly. Her voice instantly choked with emotion.
"Yes! Yes! Yes! This is my niece! This is truly my niece!"
Bai Danfeng would never mistake her.
"Xiaojiu, where have you been these past few years? Your auntie has searched everywhere for you! You naughty child! How could you make your auntie worry so much?"
The chibi-style little dragon spoke in a sweet, childlike voice, "Auntie, I have been reborn from the ashes. Did you know that for to be reborn, I needed to borrow soone else’s womb?"
"I... I didn’t know that."
The chibi-style little dragon frowned slightly. She didn’t know?
Didn’t the Crown Prince say that if I wanted to be reborn using soone’s womb, I needed that person’s consent?
If I was born from Bai Danfeng, how could she be completely unaware?
Could it be that when I was reincarnated in Bai Danfeng’s womb, I never sought her permission?
So Bai Danfeng gave birth, unaware, believing she had a son, not a Dragon Girl, and never suspected a thing?
That seed very likely.
Tears stread down Bai Danfeng’s face. "It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter. As long as you’re alive, that’s all that matters. I only hope you’re healthy and well."
The chibi-style little dragon transford back into the adult Si Mingjing. She pulled a chair to the bedside and, without pressing further, simply said, "Auntie, I’m back."
Bai Danfeng wept for joy, her eyes blurred with tears.
Si Mingjing was deeply touched. She held Bai Danfeng’s hands and comforted her, "Auntie, please don’t cry. I’m fine. The most important thing now is for you to get well. I’m sorry... after my rebirth, I forgot everything from before. I have no mories of our past together, but I truly want you as my family."
She longed for a mother, even one from her past life. She desperately craved familial affection.
Bai Danfeng lifted her other hand, continually wiping tears from her eyes. "Alright, alright, Auntie won’t cry. I’ll focus on getting better, and then I’ll cook for you. You always loved Auntie’s cooking. You used to say my food tasted like ho. Good child, Auntie’s ho will always be your family ho."
"Thank you, Auntie," Si Mingjing said, her heart filled with warmth.
She chatted intimately with Bai Danfeng for half an hour. Just as she was about to leave, she received a call from Mo Yinhe.
Mo Yinhe’s voice was low and sowhat tense on the phone. "Where are you?"
"At the hospital."
"Is Si Yuan with you?"
"Yes. Do you need her for sothing?"
Mo Yinhe suppressed his towering rage and said, his voice dangerously low, "Wait for at the hospital with Si Yuan. I’ll be right there."
