My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband-Chapter 788: Your Hugging Pillow Can Only Be Me! 1
Ye Siyuan was in a drowsy sleep when she felt a gaze upon her.
She stretched languidly with her eyes closed, reluctant to open them. She only pried open a sliver, as if opening them any wider would be disrespectful to her beloved lie-in.
Through that narrow opening, Ye Siyuan glimpsed a face she had longed for—steady and stunningly handsome.
The next second, she blinked, and then her eyes flew wide open as if she had seen the most beautiful sight in the world.
Her reaction was adorable.
Si Lisao, sitting at the head of the bed, smiled faintly.
Ye Siyuan rubbed her eyes, then rubbed them again. Overcome with emotion, she tried to sit up, but Si Lisao gently pressed her down by the shoulders.
Si Lisao didn’t let her sit up. His hands, carrying the chill from outdoors, tidied her messy bird’s-nest hair. He then playfully tapped the tip of her nose, saying, "Not bad. It looks like you slept soundly. You’re stronger than I imagined."
Si Lisao had thought he would find a girl with eyes swollen red from crying. He had strode into her bedroom, mentally prepared to comfort her. He hadn’t expected to find her snuggling a boyfriend pillow, her head buried in it, sleeping more soundly than he could have imagined.
Si Lisao’s gaze fell on the boyfriend pillow still in her arms, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"What’s this?" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
The pillow was shaped just like him; even the facial features were a perfect one-to-one replica.
Ye Siyuan gasped, trying to stuff the boyfriend pillow under the covers. But Si Lisao had already seen it; her attempt to hide it was futile, like plugging one’s ears while stealing a bell.
Ye Siyuan’s cheeks turned pink. She admitted with some embarrassment, "I had someone customize it for me. Doesn’t it look like you? It’s super comfortable to hold, and I sleep well every night with it."
"Is it as comfortable as holding the real me?"
Si Lisao pulled the pillow from her arms. He held it up; it was even the same height as him.
It truly was custom-made; you couldn’t buy something like this on the market!
And no one would dare make a one-to-one copy of him to sell as merchandise unless their entire clan was tired of living!
Ye Siyuan covered her face with her hands, giggling softly. Her pink lips moved as she murmured, "Well, since I couldn’t hold you, I had to find a substitute. Don’t be angry. I had one custom-made for you too. It’s a one-to-one replica of me. You can take it back with you."
Si Lisao was uninterested. He only wanted to hold the real her.
His tone was earnest and utterly captivating. "After the New Year, how about coming to live with me on the Mu Continent?"
They were already engaged, so cohabiting before marriage wasn’t a big issue.
Ye Siyuan’s little heart pounded with excitement, her big eyes blinking rapidly. "Can I?"
"As long as you’re willing."
Fearing she might hesitate, Si Lisao added, "After the New Year, your sister-in-law will also be going to live on the Mu Continent. She’ll be there for most of the first half of next year, so you won’t have to worry about being in an unfamiliar place on the Mu Continent."
Ye Siyuan was even more tempted. "Really? Sister-in-law too? I didn’t hear her say anything!"
"She can’t stay in Yecheng forever. It’s confirmed she’ll return to the Mu Continent after the New Year. Are you willing to go?"
Ye Siyuan understood. It wasn’t that her sister-in-law wanted to go, but that Si Lisao wanted her sister-in-law to return!
Her sister-in-law was the Queen of the Mu Continent; she couldn’t stay in Yecheng indefinitely. It seemed like it had been mentioned around the time of the wedding that she would only spend two or three months a year in Yecheng. So, after the New Year, her sister-in-law had to return to the Mu Continent.
Ye Siyuan nodded, anticipation written all over her face. She decisively snatched the boyfriend pillow from Si Lisao, tossed it aside disdainfully, then got up to hug his arm excitedly. "I’ll go, I’ll go! Mmm, but..."
Ye Siyuan feared her parents wouldn’t agree.
Si Lisao assumed she was worried about the current rumors.
Si Lisao wrapped his arms around her, pulling her into his embrace. "As long as you want to go, leave everything else to me," he said.
Is Si Lisao going to persuade Mom and Dad?
"Alright, I’ll leave the rest to you."
"Have you slept enough?" Si Lisao asked. "If not, I can sleep with you a while longer."
As he spoke, Si Lisao took off his outer coat.
Ye Siyuan immediately lay back down, patting the space beside her. "Is it still snowing outside? Snowy days are perfect for staying in bed and sleeping."
Ye Siyuan pressed the electric switch by the bed, and the curtains slowly opened, revealing the snowy world outside the window.
Ye Siyuan lay on her side, snuggled tightly in her quilt, admiring the snowy scene outside.
A wave of romantic feeling washed over her.
Si Lisao took off his outer coat and trousers, kicked off his shoes, and lay down on her right, careful not to block her view of the snow.
After watching the snow for a while, Ye Siyuan turned over, burrowed into Si Lisao’s embrace, and drifted back into a wonderfully satisfying sleep.
Two hours later, Ye Siyuan woke up. She found herself holding not the boyfriend pillow, but her real, flesh-and-blood boyfriend. She was overjoyed. Seeing Si Lisao’s eyes still closed, she seized the chance while he seemed to be asleep and stole a kiss. Unexpectedly, just as she finished, she saw the corners of Si Lisao’s mouth curve upwards slightly.
Ye Siyuan’s ears turned red. She buried her head under the covers and asked, "You were awake?"
Si Lisao hadn’t been asleep; he was thinking about her taking diet pills.
Just an hour ago, Si Lisao had posted on Weibo with two photos.
One was an adorable photo of her sleeping soundly in his arms; the other showed the boyfriend pillow discarded at the foot of the bed.
He captioned it: "You won’t need this anymore! From now on, I’m the only pillow you’ll ever need!"
This Weibo post had already shot to the top of the trending list.
The comments were in the tens of thousands, the reposts hundreds of thousands, and the likes several million!
Netizen A: "AAAHHH! This is the first time I’ve seen the Prince Regent being so lovey-dovey on Weibo! Such a public display of affection so early in the morning is too much! I’m begging for a link to the Prince Regent-style pillow! Seriously begging! Sisters, let’s start a group buy!!!"
Netizen B: "OMG, what a cool pillow! I’m totally sold on it! Since the Second Princess won’t need it anymore, could you give it to me as a fan giveaway? Pretty please with a cherry on top~~ I’m rolling on the floor begging~~"
Netizen C: "What’s going on? I heard the Second Princess became infertile from taking diet pills. Is the Prince Regent making this public display of affection right now to hint at something?"
Netizen D: "Is it true that the Second Princess became infertile because of diet pills?"
Netizen E: "That’s terrible! Isn’t Her Majesty the Queen a Divine Doctor? There must be a solution, so what’s the rush? Our Prince Regent isn’t even panicking. Don’t you understand the meaning behind his words? It’s those four famous words: ’Never abandon, never forsake!’"
Netizen F: "It seems even Her Majesty the Queen can’t do anything. The news from Yecheng has blown up; it’s definitely confirmed. Many girls who took the same diet pills are getting bad results from their hospital check-ups. Apparently, there’s a side effect that destroys eggs. The Second Princess isn’t even overweight. I don’t know why she was trying to lose weight. She really brought this on herself, huh?"
Netizen G: "Is he really not going to call off the engagement? What’s the point of marrying such a woman?"
