He said he wanted to give up the throne, but that was just talk, right?
Yet Mo Yinhe’s expression and deanor were very serious, not at all as if he were uttering sweet nothings. "I’m not crazy. Mingjing, even if I don’t beco the Crown Prince of Atlantis, I won’t be the sort of man to freeload—I still have my aerospace enterprise. Rest assured, your man won’t lose his charm."
A man without a career has no allure in a woman’s eyes. It is said that n are most attractive when they are working.
Mo Yinhe had never said that after giving up the throne of Atlantis, he would co to the Mu Continent to freeload. He still had his aerospace enterprise.
Mo Yinhe said, "I started my Undersea ventures at five and established Yinhe Group in Atlantis, becoming the nation’s richest man overnight. At twelve, I left business for politics, seizing the reins of Atlantis and becoming the de facto Crown Prince, second to no one but the monarch. Now, I want to leave politics for space exploration. In the future, I will beco the first pioneer to venture beyond Earth and conquer the universe. Nothing can restrain Mo Yinhe’s footsteps! Wealth and power are important to a man, and they are important to , but they cannot shackle . I am not a puppet of wealth and power. There’s too much I want to conquer. In the future, I simply have a new pursuit."
Mo Yinhe had said so much just to tell her that his decision wasn’t entirely for her; he simply had a new aspiration.
As a man, he simply has an endless desire to conquer! When he took an interest in the business kingdom, he had the capability to beco the wealthiest man in the country. When he fell in love with power, he was able to beco the Crown Prince. Now that he has conquered both wealth and power, he wants to conquer the universe. His steps never halt, and his ambition will not be confined by wealth and power.
But Si Mingjing knew that it was all for her!
Si Mingjing’s eyes reddened slightly. She remained silent, turning her head away and sulking.
Mo Yinhe touched her shoulder.
Si Mingjing walked off, and Mo Yinhe chased after her.
After the two had left, the remaining people, all sitting in the living room, looked at each other in silence.
Sheng Liuyun stroked his chin and said, "Mo Yinhe was surely just talking big. A man’s words are full of lies!"
Yun Yin also had a grim expression. "If a man’s words could be trusted, pigs would fly!"
Gu Changbin, however, truly believed him. "I think Mo Yinhe isn’t joking. What’s the point in joking about such a thing? Wouldn’t it be embarrassing to be proven wrong later?"
Si Lisao’s eyes were deep, and he offered no opinion.
Sheng Liuyun walked up to Qu Liushang and said, "Go for it! Don’t let Mo Yinhe surpass you! Go tell your little sister that you’re willing to give up everything in Gendaya for her. Just say the word, and I guarantee my full support to make you the groom!"
But Qu Liushang said nothing, not a single word.
Sheng Liuyun said irritably, "See? Even the man who deeply loves our little sister can’t give up power, much less Mo Yinhe! He must be bluffing to save face!"
At that mont, Xiaobai scampered over and gave Sheng Liuyun a strong kick. "How dare you insult my dad! I won’t let you off!"
A kick from a child shouldn’t hurt, but sohow Xiaobai had such strength that Sheng Liuyun actually winced, his brow furrowing in pain.
He looked down at Ye Nianbai. "You little..."
Ye Nianbai kicked him again, then huffed off angrily.
"Uncle, why are you picking on Big Brother?" Sheng Liangliang voiced her discontent. "Today is Big Brother’s birthday. Uncle is picking on Big Brother, so Liangliang doesn’t like Uncle anymore! Hmph!"
With that, Sheng Liangliang also walked away haughtily.
Sheng Liuyun: "..."
Who’s picking on the children? Anyone with eyes could see that he was the one getting kicked by this child! Just as expected of a child personally raised by Mo Yinhe—so unreasonable! Now even Liangliang is being led astray! Liangliang won’t kiss him but kisses Mo Yinhe instead, making Sheng Liuyun’s heart turn cold. This is the child he raised, yet now he’s being treated this way!
Sheng Liuyun was very angry, but his anger didn’t stop him from being a complete sycophant!
Sheng Liuyun quickly followed, trying to cajole his precious darling, "Liangliang, Uncle was wrong..."
Si Mingjing returned to the bedroom. Hearing footsteps following close behind, she slamd the door shut with a BANG, nearly hitting Mo Yinhe’s nose.
Mo Yinhe pushed open the door, walked up to her, and embraced her, smiling as he pinched her nose. "Still that angry?"
Si Mingjing didn’t speak, struggling a bit only to be held tighter by Mo Yinhe.
"Mingjing, don’t be mad. I really had made up my mind before coming to the Mu Continent."
"I don’t want to owe you anything," Si Mingjing’s voice was very low. She felt that if Mo Yinhe gave up everything, she would feel guilty, as if she owed him. Though, in fact, she already owed him a lot.
Si Mingjing said, "When I agreed to beco the Queen, it was because I thought I could help you politically and support your political ideals, preventing the three Undersea nations from uniting to suppress you. But what does this an now? This goes against my original intention; it’s putting the cart before the horse!"
Si Mingjing then emphasized, "If you give up the position of Crown Prince of Atlantis, I will absolutely not marry you!"
Her stance was resolute; neither could persuade the other.
"If I had known, I wouldn’t have co to the Mu Continent! You were right not to let co!"
Si Mingjing was filled with regret.
Mo Yinhe knew this topic could not continue. He changed the subject. "I heard from Si Lisao that you want to learn Western dicine?"
"What does that have to do with you?"
"I support you. We’re still young, and learning never ends; that includes . There’s so much I want to learn about unknown fields. The universe is full of too many mysteries, which I have always wanted to understand. No one can resist the allure of exploring the universe—not even for the position of a Crown Prince."
Si Mingjing saw through his tactic and pushed him away, saying, "Stop trying that indirect approach! I’m not listening. Anyway, I will absolutely not marry any man who isn’t the Crown Prince of Atlantis. If you’re no longer the Crown Prince, then forget about winning over!"
Mo Yinhe hadn’t expected her to be this angry. Don’t most won wish for n to choose love over power? His Mingjing is such an oddity!
Mo Yinhe deliberately provoked her, "So, you’re interested in the Crown Prince of Atlantis, and not ?"
"So what if I am?"
Si Mingjing wasn’t fazed by his tactic and openly admitted it, leaving Mo Yinhe speechless.
Mo Yinhe: "..."
He laughed in frustration. "You heartbreaker!"
Si Mingjing kept a straight face for a mont, but couldn’t hold it and eventually laughed too.
Mo Yinhe feigned a wounded heart. He lowered his head to kiss her, seeking compensation through her lips.
Si Mingjing did not resist. The two beca deeply entangled in the bedroom, until Xiaobai, with a display of his domineering presence, kicked the door open with a THWACK.
