My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband-Chapter 700 Mo Yinhe Discovers Su Chaoyang 1

Crown Prince Liushang stood atop the stairs. He watched Si Mingjing and Mo Yinhe ascend side by side, a protective barrier shielding them from the surrounding water. This created an enviable contrast with others who were in direct contact with the sea.

Although they were all ocean-dwellers and did not fear seawater, the protective barrier made them appear distinguished and elegant to onlookers.

The reporters, blocked outside the cordon, captured this public display of affection.

Bo Leng trailed behind Si Mingjing and Mo Yinhe. His cold gaze fixed on their backs, he felt as if he’d been force-fed their PDA.

Si Mingjing ascended slowly with Mo Yinhe, approaching Crown Prince Liushang. Her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly. "Long time no see, Crown Prince Liushang."

"Not that long," he replied.

Crown Prince Liushang held out the national treasure gift box with both hands, offering it to her.

"This is The Third Eye you wanted. It should have been given to you over a decade ago. If, at that time..."

If at that time he hadn’t messed up, if he had shown up on time at the engagement party, he would be the one standing shoulder to shoulder with Ajiu now.

Mo Yinhe wasn’t the only one who could have been a celestial couple with Ajiu; he could have been too.

But alas... there are no ’ifs’ in this world.

Mo Yinhe, seeing the regret and the pain of unrequited love on Qu Liushang’s face, deliberately stepped in front of Si Mingjing. He warned, "Even if you hadn’t abandoned her at the party, leaving her to be ridiculed by everyone, you two still wouldn’t have ended up together. So, Crown Prince Liushang, don’t torment yourself over what cannot be changed!"

Mo Yinhe took the national treasure gift box from Qu Liushang’s hands and sneered, "The bond between Mingjing and me began long before the great flood of the Mu Continent. Since then, she resolved to marry no one but me. Understand?"

Crown Prince Liushang paid him no heed, treating Mo Yinhe as if he were mere air.

Si Mingjing affirmed, her arm linked with Mo Jingyan’s, projecting an image of marital bliss. "I understand."

She looked up, and Mo Jingyan looked down. Their eyes met, a silent, ambiguous affection passing between them that made onlookers envious.

Bo Leng, tall and imposing, stood behind them and cleared his throat. "Let’s focus on the task at hand!"

Isn’t quashing the lingering hope in a rival’s heart also part of the main business?

A slight smile touched Mo Yinhe’s thin lips. He was merely here to accompany Mingjing to retrieve The Third Eye. As for taking over Baitown City, Mo Yinhe had no intention of interfering. He had no interest in such tiresome affairs and would leave them to his brother-in-law.

Mo Yinhe and Si Mingjing stepped aside, ceding the stage to Bo Leng.

The next part of the process was Bo Leng taking over Baitown City.

The transition went smoothly.

After all procedures were completed, Crown Prince Liushang, along with the original officials of Baitown City, boarded a submarine and departed.

Before leaving, Crown Prince Liushang asked Si Mingjing, "Would you like to have a meal together?"

Mo Yinhe declined on her behalf, scoffing, "We’re in the mood for a meal, but are you? An upset stomach leads to indigestion. You should leave quickly. If you’re not embarrassed, I’m embarrassed for you."

Still thinking about food at a time of such humiliating loss? What’s he thinking? That a few more glances at my wife will somehow make up for it?

"A mere Baitown City isn’t enough to sour my mood," Qu Liushang stated. "If Ajiu wants something, is there anything I wouldn’t give her? Never mind Baitown City; even if I had to offer the entirety of Gendaya with both hands, I wouldn’t blink an eye. The only one I feel sorry for is my Royal Father!"

A faint, scholarly, and refined smile touched Qu Liushang’s lips.

He considered himself deeply devoted, but Si Mingjing remained unmoved.

The corner of Si Mingjing’s mouth lifted slightly. "This Baitown City wasn’t a gift from you, Crown Prince Liushang. It’s the price your country pays for daring to move against me. You’d do well to understand that!"
