The Lady of the Prestigious Family is a Big Boss-Chapter 144. Can I snatch Li Mochan back to organization k (Third shift)
"Ajiu, it took me and Achen years to let you let down your guard around us, yet you’ve completely opened up to Li Mochan after just over two months of knowing him. With that, can you still deny that you like him?"
Ye Jiuliang clenched her phone tightly, complex emotions tugging at her underneath her eyes, as the scene she woke up to that morning once again surfaced in her mind.
She had spent the night sleeping on the couch and woke up to find Li Mochan asleep at the edge of the couch.
Proud as he was, superior as he was, he had actually stayed by her side for the whole night.
She remained silent, and Gu Xinuo, knowing she was pondering, did not interrupt her with any noise, waiting quietly for her to figure things out.
After a long while, a cold voice rang out, very slow and deliberate, "Anuo, how about I snatch Li Mochan back to K organization, okay?"
Gu Xinuo was taken aback, then laughed and collapsed onto the couch, "Done, snatch him back for our Ajiu to be the chief’s wife."
This was the Ye Jiuliang she knew.
Upon hearing this, an attractive smile filled Ye Jiuliang’s eyes and brows.
Li Mochan, you just wait for me.
"By the way, are you still going out tonight?" asked Gu Xinuo.
"No, let them fuss about it on their own." Having resolved the heavy stone at the bottom of her heart, Ye Jiuliang spoke in a light-hearted tone.
Gu Xinuo snickered, "Master Jiu, just out of curiosity, if Li Mochan and Achen ever got into a fight, whose side would you take?"
After a pause, Ye Jiuliang’s voice carried a hint of amusement, "I’d protect what’s mine."
"..."
A twitch formed at the corner of Gu Xinuo’s mouth.
She felt she had made a mistake; she had personally delivered her homegrown cabbage to someone else.
"Achen would probably cry if he heard what you just said."
Ye Jiuliang chuckled, silently adding in her heart, wouldn’t you be there to comfort him if he cried?
"Alright, I won’t keep you, I’ve got things to do over here. If you two make it, next time I see you, you’ll have to get Li Mochan to give me a big red envelope." Gu Xinuo said, considering herself at least half the matchmaker.
Ye Jiuliang laughed, "Money-grubber."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Jiuliang walked back into her room.
Before she could sit down, someone knocked on the door.
As the door opened, the scent of food came rushing in.
"You must have the wrong room, I didn’t order food." Ye Jiuliang, looking down at the meal trolley laden with food, asked in confusion.
"This was ordered by Mr. Li." The waiter said with a smile.
Ye Jiuliang tugged at her lip, stepping aside to open the door wider and let the waiter bring the things in.
"Enjoy your meal."
After saying this, the waiter left with the small meal cart.
Ye Jiuliang closed the door and came back to gaze at the table full of food, a radiant smile growing on her lips.
...
"Master, everything is ready on our end. We’ve received news that K organization’s people have arrived in City A at dawn." Wei Nan, sitting in the front passenger seat, lifted his eyes through the rearview mirror looking at the man sitting in the back.
In the dim line of sight, the man’s half-face was hidden in the dark shadows of his hair, his cold brows furrowed, as if deep in thought.
He turned his head towards the window, the bustling streets echoing the unique solitude of the night.
Suddenly, he said, "Stop the car."
Wei Bei was startled, quickly steering to park the car at the curb ahead.
"Master, what are you going to buy?" Wei Nan turned to look at Li Mochan, who was opening the car door to get out, and quickly followed suit.
"Shall I go buy it for you?"
"No need."
Li Mochan stepped out of the car, his leather shoes hitting the ground as he closed the door and strode towards a nearby shop.
Following behind him, Wei Nan wore a strange expression upon seeing the items on display in the store.
His master wants to buy toys?
Li Mochan bypassed row after row of shelves, finally stopping at the very last one.
Under the bright lights, an assortment of miniature motorcycle models caught his eye.
These, his little wolf pup would probably like them, right?
"Sir, all these are limited edition motorcycle models, which one do you like? Should I take one down for you to have a look?" The person speaking was the owner of the model shop, sporting a scholarly smile on his face.
"Wrap all of these up for me." Li Mochan’s thin lips curved slightly.
"What, what?" The owner was startled, thinking he had misheard, and asked again with suppressed excitement in his voice.
"All of them?"
"All."
The chilly voice sounded more melodious than any music to the owner’s ears.
The chubby face broke into a multitude of wrinkles as he smiled, "Alright, I’ll wrap them up for you right away."
I’ve struck it rich.
It was hard to sell even a few sets of these limited edition models in a month, and now someone bought them all at once. It looked like he was going to be counting money until his hands cramped tonight.
Off to the side, Wei Nan was dumbfounded.
His master really spoiled people with no end.
Wherever he went, he remembered Ye Jiuliang. It seemed like he’d really have to learn from Wei Bei and start clinging to his future wife’s coattails in advance.
"Wei Nan, pay the bill." The icy voice jolted him back to reality, and Wei Nan hurriedly followed the owner to settle the account.
...
That night, the wind stirred the clouds.
In the biggest bar in City A, it was unusually quiet.
One could hear a pin drop within a ten-mile radius.
A sign hung outside the door, saying the business was temporarily closed, with the doors and windows firmly shut.
In the private room, the dazzling light shone down, casting a glow on the handsome features of the man.
Chu Chen stubbed out his cigarette, his cold voice echoing through the private room.
"Hasn’t the person arrived yet?"
"Boss, not yet, there are still ten minutes left until the agreed time," Yu Wei said.
Chu Chen glanced at his watch, thought of Gu Xinuo back at headquarters, and his thin lips lifted slightly.
Wondering if she ate on time.
Just as he took out his phone, Gu Xinuo happened to call.
It could very well be said to be a telepathic moment.
"Have you eaten yet?" As soon as the call connected, he was the first to speak.
"I have." Gu Xinuo said, "Have you met with Li Mochan yet?"
Hearing her mention Li Mochan, his brows knitted slightly, "Why bring him up?"
Why wouldn’t she ask if he had eaten yet?
Gu Xinuo said, "I’m just worried that if you guys don’t see eye to eye, you might start fighting, putting Ajiu in a tough spot."
"Li Mochan and Ajiu don’t have anything going on; what’s there for her to be troubled about?" Chu Chen scoffed coldly, "Besides, if Li Mochan really dares to covet our cabbage, then we can’t let him off so easily."
Raising a cabbage these days isn’t easy.
Gu Xinuo stifled a laugh; she actually wanted to tell him that the cabbage had already been coveted, and moreover, the cabbage seemed to have the inclination to elbow outward.
"Anyway, if we can avoid fighting, let’s avoid it, bye." Having said that, Gu Xinuo hung up the phone in a rush.
The matter of the cabbage being coveted could wait to be discussed after some time.
