Chapter 163: Chapter 163: Did My Sister-in-Law Originally Carry Twins of Dragon and Phoenix? 2
Si Mingjing took a trip to the bathroom—the big one.
About a dozen minutes later, she emerged from the room.
Strange, where did Little Liangliang go? she wondered. Where could this child have wandered off to play?
Little Liangliang had been scooped up by the tearfully excited Madam Ye, who had taken her to the villa next door where Mo Yinhe lived.
At that moment, Little Liangliang was holding a small fry, munching away. SMACK, SMACK.
"NOM NOM NOM~~ So delicious!"
Little Liangliang had never eaten this before!
The dietary habits of the Undersea World and the Terrestrial World are completely different. Because they didn’t overlap, there were no fries for sale on the Mu Continent, and Little Liangliang had never eaten them!
On the table were also gummy candies, lollipops, mini baked cakes, yogurt puddings, and all sorts of other delicious things.
Little Liangliang’s new world had instantly opened up!
Hearing a noise, Ye Shen came down from upstairs, intending to ask what had happened.
His gaze casually swept over the downstairs area. It passed by Liangliang, who was sitting on the couch eating like a little hamster. Finally, his eyes landed on the shiny Dragon Horns atop Little Liangliang’s head, causing him to stumble.
He nearly tumbled down the stairs!
Ye Shen practically flew down the stairs, taking two at a time, his eyes shining as he exclaimed, "What is this? What the heck is this?"
Old Master Ye glared at his grandson. "Watch your language! This is your little niece!"
Ye Shen grabbed his own hair, turning it into a bird’s nest, his expression thunderstruck. "Little niece? Where did she come from! Grandpa, don’t trick me, I have a weak heart! This, this, this... Emma, my mind is scrambled!"
Ye Shen rushed to the sofa, excitedly pinching Little Liangliang’s chubby cheeks.
Heavens, she feels so good, so real, he thought. When Little Cutie breathes, there’s even a milky scent. It’s heart-melting. I really want to hold her!
"Grandma, is this really my little niece?"
Madam Ye hummed. "Could it be a fake? One look at this child and you can tell she’s your brother’s offspring. Look at those eyes, that nose, those lips..."
Ye Shen’s head spun. But I don’t see the resemblance, he thought. Her golden-yellow pupils look like dazzling jewels—nothing like my brother’s at all! But the contour of her little nose does look a bit like Second Sister’s, and these little Dragon Horns are exactly like Xiaobai’s. OMG! Could it be that Sister-in-law laid two eggs back then? So it was a pair of dragon-phoenix eggs!
Ye Shen excitedly scooped Little Liangliang into his arms. Liangliang wriggled, struggling to get out of Ye Shen’s embrace, but Ye Shen held her tight.
Then, holding her, he rushed upstairs.
Madam Ye protested, "Come back here, you child! Where are you taking my little darling? I haven’t had my fill of looking at her yet."
"I’m going to have Second Sister confirm whether she’s really my brother’s!"
On this matter, Ye Shen felt that his second sister’s judgment was a hundred times more accurate than his own.
Ye Siyuan was organizing clothes in her dressing room.
Her dressing room was simply too large, and there were far too many clothes. Ye Siyuan had been sorting things out all day and still hadn’t finished. She was busily engrossed in her task when she suddenly heard Ye Shen’s voice:
"Second Sister, Second Sister, where are you? Something big has happened! Something big has happened..."
"I’m in the dressing room. What big thing could happen, is it the end of the world?"
"My sister-in-law had twins for my brother, a boy and a girl!"
Ye Shen ran in, holding Little Liangliang.
"What kind of nonsense is that?"
Several large boxes of clothes were laid out in front of Ye Siyuan, all items she no longer wanted and planned to donate after organizing. Hearing the commotion, she looked towards the dressing room door and unexpectedly saw Ye Shen holding a little bundle in his arms.
That was all fine, Ye Siyuan thought, but the crucial part was, why did the little bundle have Dragon Horns on her head?
"AAAAHHHH..."
Ye Siyuan’s reaction was even more exaggerated than Ye Shen’s. She got so excited that she jumped up, threw the clothes she was holding away, and rushed over to snatch the little bundle from Ye Shen’s hands.
"She was really born to my sister-in-law? You’re not joking with me, right? It’s true, look, her eyes are the spitting image of my sister-in-law’s."
Ye Shen said, "Second Sister, look at her nose. Doesn’t it look like yours? They say nephews resemble their uncles, and nieces their aunts."
Ye Siyuan looked. That makes a lot of sense, she thought.
"Exactly, exactly! We all have the family trait of a cute upturned nose—delicate and elegant. She must be my little niece."
There was once a netizen poll that said her and her mother’s upturned noses were the type most favored by plastic surgeons. The tip of the nose is slightly upturned compared to the bridge, which can make the face appear lively and adorable. Many people who go to plastic surgery clinics will say to the surgeon, "Give me a nose like Ye Siyuan!"
"Asheng, where did this child come from?"
How would Ye Shen know?
"I just saw her when I came downstairs. Grandma said she’s Big Brother’s! Second Sister, do you think so too?"
"Isn’t that obvious? This darling girl obviously belongs to my brother and sister-in-law. Sister-in-law is amazing!"
"Liangliang has no mom and dad, oh! Liangliang is wild! You all shouldn’t talk nonsense," Little Liangliang chirped, tilting her head. This family is so strange.
But Little Liangliang fell in love with Ye Siyuan’s dressing room; her beautiful big eyes couldn’t take it all in.
Wow, so many beautiful clothes! she thought. I want a beautiful dressing room like this too. I’ll remember everything, all of it, and later ask Uncle to get one for me too.
"I don’t believe this! I’m going to call my brother!" Ye Siyuan declared.
She put Liangliang down on the ground and decisively dialed Mo Yinhe’s number.
Little Liangliang took the opportunity and, PATTER, PATTER, PATTER, ran off.
I need to find Sister!
"Liangliang? Liangliang? Where are you?" Si Mingjing was searching all around.
"Sister, Liangliang is here!"
Little Liangliang ran out from the villa, scampering over to Si Mingjing. She wrapped her little arms around Si Mingjing’s leg in a tight hug. "Sister, so scary! So many wolf grandmas want to trick Liangliang! It’s all because Liangliang is too, too, too cute!"
I’m just that confident! she thought. Everyone likes Liangliang!
"Don’t be scared, Sister is here," Si Mingjing soothed.
Ye Shen came running out of the villa. Seeing Si Mingjing pick Liangliang up, he said to Liangliang, "Your uncle is here. He called me and said his car has already arrived at the manor gate. Sister Mingjing will take you to find your uncle now."
"Mm-hmm! Liangliang really misses Uncle."
Ye Shen walked quickly over, blocking Si Mingjing’s way.
"Mingjing, where are you taking my precious niece?"
"Niece?" Si Mingjing looked baffled.
Ye Shen pointed at Liangliang, his voice trembling with excitement, "Mingjing, is this child really my brother’s?"
"Ah? Ye Shen, you’re mistaken. This is someone else’s child, not your brother’s."
"How is that possible?" Ye Shen couldn’t believe it.
"You’ve really got it wrong. Her uncle has come to pick her up. I need to take the child to him."
Si Mingjing finished speaking and carried Liangliang toward the exit of the manor.
「Upstairs, Ye Siyuan had already connected the call.」
Before Ye Siyuan could speak, she heard Mo Yinhe urgently say on the phone, "...Quick, the child Mingjing brought home—keep her with you! Don’t let anyone take her away!"
