My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband-Chapter 699 Si Mingjing: Who’s Doing Good Deeds Behind the Scenes? 2

Out of curiosity, Ye Xinguang asked, "Since you harbored ill intentions, why are you sincerely repentant now?"

"I... I suddenly came to a realization."

It was clear to everyone that Mrs. Quan was struggling to speak.

Everyone was thoroughly disappointed with her, silently cursing her for being such a liability. Only Ye Xinguang smiled and said, "It’s not too late for you to awaken to your mistakes. I hope that your repentance is genuine and that you will amend your ways. Regarding the matter of Si Yuan marrying Si Lisao, I see nothing amiss. If the Queen of Mu Continent can become my daughter-in-law, then my own daughter can naturally marry the Prince Regent of Mu Continent. My mind is made up on this matter, and nothing will change it!"

Ye Xinguang’s voice was neither loud nor soft, filled with the majesty of a queen. She knew that many people wished to marry her daughter, but so what? If you have the ability, win Si Yuan’s heart fair and square. If not, don’t entertain any foolish ideas!

Mrs. Quan said, "Yes!"

Meanwhile, Si Mingjing and Mo Yinhe had arrived at Baitown City. Together with Bo Leng’s main force, they boarded a submarine and majestically entered the city to take control.

The Undersea World’s Baitown City was eerily silent. All residents were staying indoors, the streets empty, like a ghost town.

Sitting in the submarine, Si Mingjing furrowed her brow slightly. "Not a soul in sight," she mused. "It seems the people’s hearts here will be difficult to win over."

For the people of Baitown City, this was a great humiliation. No one would be lining the streets to welcome them!

They were all citizens of Gendaya Country. Now, their nation had signed a disgraceful treaty handing over Baitown City to Si Mingjing, and as a result, they all considered themselves prisoners.

Who could willingly accept being a prisoner?

Bo Leng and Mo Yinhe had long understood the populace’s sentiments. They were indifferent to the deserted streets, unconcerned.

At that moment, Mo Yinhe received a phone call from his mother, who informed him that Mrs. Quan had turned herself in, and that the palace strife had ended before it had even begun.

After hanging up the phone, Si Mingjing, who was sitting beside him, asked, "Was that Mom? What happened? Did things not go well at the auction today? We should have stayed in Yecheng. Leaving at this time was indeed improper. It’s all because you were too confident."

"No, it went very smoothly," Mo Yinhe said. "So smoothly it was somewhat eerie. The palace strife hadn’t even started when Mrs. Quan publicly admitted her guilt. It’s quite uninteresting."

Si Mingjing’s phoenix eyes narrowed with intense curiosity. "What happened? Why would Mrs. Quan confess?"

"My mother isn’t sure either. It seems someone else took the initiative and resolved the problem for me."

Who would be doing such a good deed behind the scenes?

Si Mingjing and Mo Yinhe both fell into deep thought.

At this time, the main force stopped at the front entrance of Baitown City Hall. On the steps of the entrance, Qu Liushang, along with all the administrative officials of Baitown City, stood quietly. They stood silently in the water, the calm sea brushing their cheeks. Its slight coolness was refreshing, clearing their minds.

Qu Liushang stood in the water, holding a box in his hands that contained the national treasure of Mu Continent—The Third Eye.

Many journalists were outside the security line, holding various recording devices, capturing this historic moment.

Si Mingjing, sitting in the submarine, noticed that everyone was standing in the water without activating any waterproof barriers and frowned, asking, "What is he doing?"

"Ignore him; we have our protective shields!"

The submarine carrying Si Mingjing came to a halt, and the hatch opened. A group of people emerged. Mo Yinhe immediately activated his protective shield, preventing the surrounding seawater from soaking their lavish clothes. Si Mingjing also activated her protective shield, and when their shields intersected, they automatically merged into one—a sight that was truly enviable! 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

It was a public display of affection as Mo Yinhe looped his arm around her waist, ascending the stairs as the center of attention.
