My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband-Chapter 42 Si Mingjing: Mating Season Has Arrived!

Elsewhere, the Ye Family estate also quieted down.

But Old Madam Ye tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Her mind was preoccupied with worries, and she sighed heavily several times deep into the night.

"What’s wrong?" Old Master Ye asked, yawning as he tucked the blanket around his wife.

Old Madam Ye, shrewd as a fox, said with conviction and frustration, "Old man, the more I think about it, the more I feel something is off. I suspect the Song Family intended to harm Mingjing tonight!"

How could Old Master Ye not see that?

Old Madam Ye was indignant. "They don’t trust Mingjing’s medical skills, convinced she’s a quack who’ll ruin our grandson. That’s why they dared to come over in such a force.

"I’ve investigated thoroughly. Mingjing is Song Tengfei’s daughter, a girl who just returned to Earth. Her biological mother is gone, and her father has remarried, leaving only a stepmother at home.

"Now that Mingjing has cured Xiaobai, Song Pianlan must hold a grudge against her. She’s looking for any opportunity to harm Mingjing. Life will surely be difficult for her when she returns to the Song Family."

The more Old Madam Ye thought about it, the more her heart ached for the girl.

Old Master Ye soothed her, "Then you should take good care of her in the future. With our Ye Family’s protection, who would dare to bully her?"

Only then did Old Madam Ye feel a bit better. "That’s a must! She saved Xiaobai, and now she can treat Yinhe. She has done our family a great service. I must protect her and not let anyone bully her!"

「...」

Si Mingjing was unaware that in Old Madam Ye’s heart, she had already become a little white rabbit in need of protection.

After leaving the Force Field Protective Shield, she remembered the surveillance cameras all around the estate. So, instead of returning to the small building, she left the Ye Family estate directly.

An hour later, strolling under a sky full of falling snow, she leisurely returned to the Ye Family estate, holding three blooming wintersweets in her hand that she had picked along the way.

"In the corner of the wall, a few sprigs of plum blossoms bloom, braving the cold alone," she mused, recalling the verse. She admired the temperament of plum blossoms: unafraid of the harsh cold, blooming proudly in solitude.

After returning to the small building, Si Mingjing found a vase, arranged the red plum blossoms in it, and then blissfully soaked in a hot bath.

Lying in the bathtub with her eyes closed, she could still vividly picture Song Pianlan’s utter defeat.

I never expected Song Pianlan to fall into every trap I set, she thought.

Normally, that prescription should absolutely not have been used. I only dared to use it because I could transmit heat to Mo Yinhe at critical moments. Otherwise, just as Song Pianlan had said, three doses of the medicine would indeed have left his life hanging by a thread.

I initially thought Song Pianlan would come to the Ye Family to confront me as soon as she got the prescription. I didn’t expect her to be so ruthless, even to her beloved, refusing to show up until the very last moment.

Such love... truly skin-deep!

A faint, sarcastic smile touched Si Mingjing’s lips.

That night, she slept exceptionally well.

「The next morning」

Song Tengfei called, saying he wanted to host a recognition banquet for her. free𝑤ebnovel.com

Si Mingjing hadn’t gotten out of bed yet. Lying lazily under the covers, she patiently took the call, though she was inwardly amused.

After the debacle last night, where they’d suffered such a significant, covert blow, the Song Family is still in the mood to host a recognition banquet for me?

It’s probably a setup, isn’t it?

Si Mingjing speculated on what move the Song Family would make next. She wasn’t afraid; she’d deal with whatever they threw at her.

The only one I fear now is Mo Yinhe!

I’ve already been outmaneuvered by this man twice!

This definitely isn’t just bad luck. This man... yes, he’s my nemesis!

And to top it all off, my mating season has arrived!

A dragon’s mating season doesn’t necessarily mean I absolutely have to find someone for... certain activities. But my body will uncontrollably continue emitting dragon hormones. Ordinarily, this wouldn’t be an issue. But now, I’m worried Mo Yinhe’s keen, dog-like nose is sharper than anything else!
