My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband-Chapter 758: Skiing on a Rainbow 1
Mo Yinhe and Si Mingjing returned from skiing to find Ye Siyuan sitting leisurely in the villa’s panoramic-view living room with floor-to-ceiling windows, sipping a cup of coffee. Through the windows, she watched Si Lisao building a snowman outside, a sweet curve on her lips, though it was unclear what she was smiling about.
"Brother!" Ye Siyuan, seeing her brother and sister-in-law return, immediately got up from the beanbag chair, scampered over in the slippers provided by the villa, and triumphantly raised her hand as if offering treasure, "Look at my hand, isn’t it pretty?"
Mo Yinhe, upon seeing the dazzling diamond ring on her ring finger, instantly narrowed his eyes and turned to look at Si Mingjing.
Si Mingjing raised an eyebrow, "Don’t look at me, I didn’t snitch."
Ye Shen followed behind with a few children and entered the room. Catching sight of the beautiful diamond ring on Ye Siyuan’s finger—a pear-shaped, pinkish-purple stone that any woman would fall for at first glance—he exclaimed, "Isn’t that the Cherry Blossom that fetched a sky-high price at an auction four months ago?"
"What Cherry Blossom?"
"Sis, don’t you know? Four months ago, at an auction in Lemuria, a natural diamond rough stone was sold for an astronomical price. Many people wanted to snatch it up, but in the end, a mysterious buyer got it. The reason everyone valued this rough stone was because of its color. The pink diamond with a hint of purple was more attractive than those pure pinks, and it belonged to the rare Vivid Color Level. Such diamonds make up less than 4% of all natural pink diamonds. The color is purple-tinged, which makes it look even sweeter and more enchanting. Experts dub it as one of nature’s miracles. The rough stone was quite large, a hefty thirty-plus carats, enough to be cut into an entire jewelry set. The diamond in your ring must have been cut from that rough stone. Judging by its size, is it about ten carats?"
Ye Siyuan gleefully showed off her diamond ring, saying, "I don’t know, I didn’t ask how many carats it is, but does it look good?"
Ye Shen said, "It’s beautiful. Did brother-in-law propose to you? How did he propose, and when? While we were out skiing? Didn’t he set up some romantic scene?"
"Nope, I’m not keen on romance."
Ye Siyuan said, "We just watched a movie. He proposed to me when the movie was about to end. I think it was quite nice—unforgettable, at least."
Ye Shen rolled his eyes, "Typical unromantic. When I proposed to Tangtang, I threw a party and invited a piano master to play. I even hired a wedding planning company to help set up the proposal scene. Plus, many friends were cheering on the side, and I moved my Tangtang to tears."
Ye Siyuan, not caring at all, stuck her tongue out, "I’m happy with it, and I’m not your Tangtang."
"Heh, but you’re more into romance than my Tangtang, sis. Don’t I know your nature? What movie did you watch? A romance?"
Ye Siyuan replied, "A horror movie, Zombie Battle."
"AH, PFFT..." Ye Shen burst out laughing.
Incredulous, he said, "He watched a horror movie with you, Zombie Battle, and you’re still marrying him? Sis, you must really see him through rose-colored glasses. Are you that desperate to get married?"
Ye Siyuan was in a good mood, but Ye Shen kept raining on her parade, which really annoyed her. She walked over and gave him a kick, "Shut up, will you? I like it, what’s it to you? Say one more word, and I’ll kick you down the mountain!"
Ye Shen wisely kept silent, still feeling that Si Lisao’s proposal to his sister was too perfunctory, lacking any real sincerity. He looked outside to see Si Lisao building a snowman, with Ye Jingzhe helping out.
Ye Shen then said, "Just watching a horror movie and building two snowmen, and he thinks he can marry my sister? I’m furious! Big brother, can you stand this? I can’t stand it!"
Angrily, Ye Shen stormed outside.
Ye Siyuan, worried that Ye Shen might do something rash, chased after him, "Asheng, you stop right there!"
Mo Yinhe saw his younger brother fly into a rage, so he decided not to interfere and took Si Mingjing back to the house to change clothes.
Ye Shen stormed out, seething with rage, and Ye Siyuan couldn’t hold him back even if she tried.
By that time, the two snowmen were ready, a half-hour masterpiece by Si Lisao and the smaller Ye Jingzhe.
The snowmen’s facial contours were carved exquisitely, one resembling Si Lisao, the other Ye Siyuan, strikingly similar to their actual appearances.
Overwhelmed with excitement, Ye Siyuan let out a "wow" and trotted over, saying, "This is so lifelike! Have you ever learned to carve?"
Si Lisao stood with his hands behind his back before the snowmen, poised and dignified, smiling without a word.
Just as Ye Shen was about to explode, he saw the two snowmen and paused. The words about to burst forth died on his lips, but then, feeling discontent, he said, "Si Lisao, your proposal to my sister was too perfunctory, don’t you think? Just watching a horror movie and that’s it? My sister might agree, but I don’t! Do you know how many people want to marry her? Even my sister-in-law was kidnapped by Qu Gaoyang not long ago, all because many people in our country are dissatisfied with your marriage to my sister. Are you aware that many influential families here want to marry my sister?"
My sister is in high demand! If he doesn’t put in some serious effort, this marriage could be called off at any moment! Ye Shen thought.
Afraid that Si Lisao might get angry, Ye Siyuan gave Ye Shen a real kick and said, "Just shut up, alright? I really like it."
Si Lisao adopted a sincere listening posture, nodded, and humbly asked for advice, "My younger brother-in-law is right. I wonder if you have any good suggestions for me to consider?"
"For example..."
Ye Shen paused for a moment and, deliberately making things difficult, said, "Like creating a rainbow on this snowy mountain, making it like the Cowherd meeting the Weaver Girl at the Magpie Bridge, then proposing on the Rainbow Bridge..."
Ye Siyuan squatted down, made a big snowball, and threw it at Ye Shen. "What kind of Mary Sue plot is that? How could there be a rainbow on a snowy mountain? Haven’t you studied physics? Atmospheric optical phenomena formed by ice crystals aren’t the same as those formed by water droplets. Water droplets refract rainbows; snow can’t."
Ye Shen said, "I’m just making a comparison. It has to be romantic, right?"
Little Bingshan, Ye Jingzhe, stood aside, watching the drama unfold, and couldn’t help but blink when he heard his uncle’s words.
A pair of icy eyes from Little Bingshan focused on Ye Shen, seemingly offering silent condolences.
Noticing his nephew’s apparently mournful gaze, Ye Shen asked, baffled, "Little Jingzhe, why are you looking at your uncle like that? I’m just making a comparison."
Little Bingshan, Ye Jingzhe, turned his face away, no longer looking at Ye Shen.
At that moment, Si Lisao snapped his fingers, asking, "Is this what you’re talking about?"
"What?" Ye Shen asked.
Si Lisao pointed ahead.
Following the direction Si Lisao indicated, Ye Shen saw a rainbow appear right before their eyes.
Ye Shen rubbed his eyes vigorously. The rainbow wasn’t hanging mid-air; its starting point was right at their feet, in front of the two snowmen standing side-by-side. Confused, he asked, "What’s this? Didn’t you say snow can’t refract rainbows, Second Sister? Si Lisao is proving you wrong!"
