My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband-Chapter 728: Yangyang Takes Charge in a Crisis 1

Chapter 728: Chapter 728: Yangyang Takes Charge in a Crisis 1

Hearing even Si Lisao say this, Si Mingjing’s heart settled. "Good, I understand. Please look after the other children for me, brothers."

"Don’t worry, I’m not leaving just yet." Si Lisao, having heard that it was difficult to win over the people of Baitown City, decided to stay and deal with the matter.

Si Mingjing didn’t know that the citizens of Baitown City had organized a large-scale protest march demanding the release of Old Mu from the Mystery Sect. Now, the crowd had surrounded the city hall, chanting that they wouldn’t be slaves of a conquered nation.

Si Lisao stood before the floor-to-ceiling windows of the city government building. He looked out at the deep sea, shimmering with ripples, where countless people had gathered. He frowned deeply, his expression exceptionally grim.

He said, "I’ll stay and handle matters in Baitown City before I leave. Where is The Third Eye?"

"The Third Eye? It should still be in Baitown City. I left in a hurry and didn’t take The Third Eye with me. It might be in the bedroom where I stayed," Si Mingjing said, then added, "That was a gift I gave to Chaoyang."

「At that moment」

Xi Jinrong was staring at the delicate and pretty Su Chaoyang before him. He turned to Su Zhi, who sat despondently on the sofa, covering his face with his hand. Xi Jinrong asked incredulously, "Chaoyang is a girl? Didn’t you say you were raising a little boy?"

For five years, none of their brothers had known that the Little Dragon Su Zhi was raising was a girl!

Gu Changbin also chimed in, "Su Zhi, you’re really sly, raising such a cute girl into a tomboy!"

Su Chaoyang, Xi Lei, Gu Shurong, and Ye Jingzhe were playing together. Su Chaoyang behaved carelessly, lacking a girl’s typically reserved manners. She even slung an arm over Xi Lei’s shoulder, a sight Gu Changbin could barely stand to watch.

After Si Lisao hung up the phone, he looked at Su Zhi, his expression seeming to demand, "You’d better give me an explanation!"

"Explain what?" Su Zhi, appearing resigned, snorted. "What’s wrong with a girl? Isn’t our Mu Continent a matriarchal society? Aren’t women the ones who inherit the family estate? How come when it’s our Dragon Clan, girls have no inheritance rights and can’t participate in the contest for the heir? The competition itself is unfair, so don’t blame me for bending the rules! My Yangyang is every bit as good as the other children!"

Su Zhi, looking frustrated yet adamant, continued, "I don’t care. Even if my Yangyang is a girl, she’s still eligible to participate in the contest for the heir! The ruler of our Mu Continent is a woman, isn’t she? Why deprive Yangyang of her legitimate rights?"

"It’s not that girls are unqualified!" Si Lisao said gravely.

"Then why can’t Yangyang, Liangliang, and Xiaosu participate?"

Si Lisao’s gaze, as cold as a blade, swept towards Su Zhi. "There is only one Queen, and that is my younger sister—always and only her!"

Su Zhi: "..."

Si Lisao sat down on the sofa, his aura turning frosty and imposing. "The heir must be subservient to the Queen, serving as the Crown Prince to aid the ruler in managing state affairs. Do you really want the girls to bear such a heavy burden?"

Si Lisao’s original intention in decreeing that only boys could be heirs was rooted in his affection for girls. He wished to see them cherished like princesses, not to deprive them of their inheritance rights.

Su Zhi was taken aback. Unable to withstand Si Lisao’s pressing authority, he turned to Xi Jinrong and Gu Changbin. "Do you two think so as well?"

Xi Jinrong nodded. "I see nothing wrong with it. The selection was always for a Little Crown Prince to assist my younger sister in handling national affairs."

Gu Changbin said, "Shurong wasn’t in good health previously, and I couldn’t bear to see him exhausted. I thought it would be nice for him to be a carefree young master, so I flatly refused his participation in the contest for the heir. Even now, Shurong isn’t interested in it. He loves the aerospace industry. So, my Shurong still won’t participate. I don’t care what any of you think."

Gu Changbin believed that it was a joyful and fortunate thing if a child could spend their life engaged in something that interested them. Most people, after all, ended up choosing professions unrelated to their hobbies, concerning themselves only with survival.

That’s merely existing, not truly living.

Xi Jinrong said, "My Leilei will definitely compete for it. He has a chivalrous heart and is both brave and clever!"

Watching Su Chaoyang with her arm slung over Xi Lei’s shoulder, Su Zhi said grudgingly, "Anyway, no matter what, since my Yangyang has already participated, she can’t give up halfway. My Yangyang is determined to compete. Some girls might be content to be sheltered princesses, but others aspire to embrace the world. Who are you to dictate that girls can only be pampered?"

Girls don’t necessarily need to be pampered. Especially on the Mu Continent, it’s perfectly fine for girls to be ambitious about their careers!

His Yangyang can definitely do it!

Su Zhi was resolute in fighting for Yangyang’s chance.

"Are you sure?" Si Lisao narrowed his dark eyes.

Su Zhi said firmly, "Of course!"

"Very well then," Si Lisao agreed readily.

Si Lisao’s swift agreement caught Su Zhi off guard. "Huh? You... you agree?"

"As long as she can resolve the current crisis in Baitown City, I have no objections."

Si Lisao had heard from Si Yuan that little Yangyang was versed in the arts of the Mystery Sect, so he was willing to give her a chance to prove herself.

Su Zhi hesitated a moment, then called Su Chaoyang over. "Yangyang, come here."

"Why are you calling Baby? Do you miss Baby?"

Su Chaoyang scrambled up from the carpet and trotted over to Su Zhi. She climbed onto his lap with a boss-like posture, using his long legs as her personal human cushion, and looked curiously at her other uncles.

Su Zhi looked down and said, "Yangyang, your Ninth Uncle said that if you solve the crisis in Baitown City, he’ll let you participate in the heir competition as a girl. Your uncle is asking you, do you dare to accept this challenge?" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Su Chaoyang pursed her tender pink lips and patted her small chest arrogantly. "Uncle, leave it to me! You can count on me; I won’t let you down!"

I came this time to help Mommy solve her problems, you know!

What’s so scary about accepting a challenge?

Confidence and swagger radiated from her fair face, making her quite eye-catching. Si Lisao couldn’t suppress a slight smile.

"Alright. Your uncle will give you three days," Si Lisao said, deliberately testing the child to gauge her abilities.

Su Chaoyang nodded, her voice still babyish. "Uncle, I don’t need three days."

"That confident?"

"Of course! Who am I? I’m Uncle’s pride and joy! I never let Uncle down!"

Hearing his darling’s boastful words, Su Zhi leaned down and kissed her small forehead firmly. "Tone it down a bit. Arrogance leads to failure. Don’t make grand claims before you’ve succeeded. Has your uncle doted on you for nothing?"

Su Chaoyang retorted, "But Uncle, you also said that in the face of absolute strength, everything else is a paper tiger! I have total confidence in myself, so just relax."

Si Lisao went to the bedroom where Si Mingjing had stayed and found The Third Eye. He returned and handed the large, plush-lined box containing it to Su Chaoyang. "Take this and study it carefully. Once you understand it, the crisis in Baitown City will be resolved!"
