Chapter 12 - Chapter 12 Little Dragon Whelp: Touching Little Dragon Horns

Ye Nianbai stretched out his plump little hand and fiddled with his two sparkling little Coral Horns, which felt super bouncy to the touch.

"Baby, Little Master is giving you one last chance, you know?"

Si Mingjing lowered her eyes, staring at the familiar little Dragon Horns with a slight frown.

This little guy really had no guard against her, so recklessly revealing his little Dragon Horns to her as a treasure offering. What if she were a bad person? Moreover, were Dragon Horns something that could be touched casually? What if… Oh, I forgot. He hasn't gone through his second development yet, so it was alright for people to touch them recklessly for now. Ignorance truly is bliss!

Ye Nianbai tiptoed, still offering his treasure. "Baby, hurry up and touch!" It was as if by touching them, one couldn't escape the palm of his hand.

Si Mingjing didn't touch them; instead, she spoke seriously to lecture him, "In the future, don't just show them to others, got it? Be careful, or you might really be kidnapped."

Ye Nianbai snorted haughtily. "Little Master is not stupid. If you weren't Little Master's woman, I wouldn't have shown them to you! Hmph! Hmph! Baby, you're blessed and don't even realize it!" He was very angry and needed a woman to coax him.

Unfortunately, Si Mingjing pretended not to see him, leaving him aside as she began to tidy up the room.

Ye Nianbai was about to explode with anger. He crossed his little chubby arms over his chest; he'd been ignored for a long while and was still feeling disgruntled. But how could Little Master be angry with his own woman? Is that what a little man should do?

Ye Nianbai suppressed the anger in his belly, huffing and puffing as he went to find a little broom. Swinging it around, he followed Si Mingjing, earnestly cleaning to assert his presence.

Si Mingjing couldn't keep up her cold facade.

She turned around and picked up the little dragon cub who was trying his best to curry favor. Affectionately, she touched his bouncy little Dragon Horns a couple of times, her voice softening considerably. "Promise me, from now on, don't just reveal them as a treasure offering, even to people you think you can trust. Otherwise, I'll ignore you forever."

Ye Nianbai huffed aggrievedly. "I know, you're so annoying. This is the first time Little Master has been so compliant with a woman, and you still ignore me. My dad was right; all women are vexing little demons!"

Si Mingjing was speechless. His dad sure seemed experienced, didn't he?

Si Mingjing laughed and fiddled with his sparkling little Coral Horns. "I know. How did you get these little horns? Does your dad have them too?"

"It's my mom, Baby. Why aren't you surprised at all? Don't you realize you've found a treasure?"

Si Mingjing deliberately said, "I found out at the hospital. Otherwise, why would I have saved you? Wasn't it because you're a treasure?"

These words finally stroked Ye Nianbai's fur the right way.

Si Mingjing then asked, "Where is your mom?"

Ye Nianbai's eyes visibly dimmed. "Third Uncle said my mom has already died, but my dad says she just went on a long trip. Hmph, I don't miss her at all. My mom is definitely a scumbag; she doesn't care about Little Master at all!"

The haughty voice hid a trace of sadness.

It seemed his mother had already passed away? This little guy was like her; they had both lost their mothers. Si Mingjing rubbed his little head. "There's no mother in the world who doesn't love her child. Your mom must miss you. Maybe she has her own difficulties."

Si Mingjing set him down and continued cleaning the room.

In the evening, the elderly lady sent someone to invite her to dinner.

The villa where the elderly lady resided was not in the same building as the one where Mo Yinhe lived, but both were within the Ye Family estate, not far apart.

To thank Si Mingjing, the elderly lady personally cooked a table full of delicacies: a splendid array of seafood dishes such as sweet and sour tilefish, crispy fried crab claws, oyster tofu pot, and braised shark fins...
