The Lady of the Prestigious Family is a Big Boss-Chapter 152. Master Jiu: I want to keep teasing you like this (late at night)
"Wolf cub."
The deep, mellow voice contained a surprise that pulled Ye Jiuliang back from her confusion.
She turned her face, crashing into the man’s cold and charming dark eyes, where the profound tenderness was like stars scattered across the vast milky way, dazzling and entrancing.
Ye Jiuliang’s heart involuntarily skipped a beat.
She looked down and saw the thumb she was tightly clutching; her pale little face slowly bloomed into a moving smile.
So it wasn’t a dream after all!
Since she remained silent, Li Mochan thought she was feeling unwell and asked anxiously, "Are you uncomfortable anywhere, hmm?"
Ye Jiuliang raised her head, saw him about to press the call button, and shook the hand that was holding his thumb, "Li Mochan, I’m fine."
Her voice was a bit hoarse from the smoke inhalation and just having woken up.
Despite that Li Mochan was still a bit worried, "Are you really okay?"
Ye Jiuliang tugged at her lips and smiled at him, "I’m fine."
As she spoke, she tried to get up.
"Don’t move." She still had injuries on her arm, so Li Mochan got up and pressed down on her, "Don’t move around just after waking up."
"Help me sit up a bit." Having understood her own feelings for him, she took great comfort in his concern.
Unable to resist her, Li Mochan carefully helped her sit up and placed a pillow behind her back.
"Take it slow."
He sat by the bed, his palm continuing to envelop her small hand.
"Do you want some water?" he asked softly.
Ye Jiuliang nodded, and he released her hand to go get her some water.
"Cough cough."
Her dry throat felt a bit itchy, and Ye Jiuliang couldn’t help coughing.
She lifted her gaze to the bustling figure not far away, her eyes revealing a faint smile.
Soon, Li Mochan came back with a cup of water.
In the cup, he had thoughtfully placed a straw.
"Your hand is bandaged, don’t move carelessly." Li Mochan cautioned, bringing the cup closer to her, "I’ll hold it."
Ye Jiuliang bit the straw, her clear eyes staring straight at him and twinkling with a mischievous light.
Li Mochan’s gaze flickered, "Why are you staring at me?"
After drinking the water, Ye Jiuliang leaned back comfortably and her delicate face resumed that unconcerned smile.
"I suddenly find Master Li even more handsome and wanted to take a few more looks, is that not allowed?"
Putting down the cup and hearing the girl’s flirtatious words, Li Mochan’s calm eyes tightened and suddenly he leaned close.
He raised his hand to cradle her face, pressing his forehead against hers, his husky voice carrying a trace of fear, "If I’m so handsome, then keep looking at me and don’t scare me again."
Ye Jiuliang held back a laugh, drawing out her words, "So, Master Li can’t take a scare, eh?"
Contrary to her teasing, he took her seriously, "Yes, I can’t handle scares, so don’t do that again."
He could lose anything but her.
Ye Jiuliang curved her lips, her casual tone carrying an undetectable seriousness.
"Then, what if I really died?"
He nuzzled her forehead, "I’d accompany you."
Call him infatuated or possessed, all he sought was her alone.
Meeting the stubbornness in his eyes, Ye Jiuliang tugged up the corners of her mouth, her crisp laughter floating from her lips.
"Hehe."
"What are you laughing at?" he asked.
"Um, laughing at how silly you are."
With that, she raised her uninjured hand, wrapped it around his neck, and her mouth held an arrogant smile.
"Li Mochan, how about I steal you away to be my boyfriend?"
That instant, it was as if countless fireworks exploded beside his ears. Li Mochan looked at her dumbfounded, his fingers trembling slightly as they rested on her face.
"What did you say?" he asked with a hoarse voice.
"I said, Li Mochan, I’ve taken a fancy to you and want to monopolize you."
Mid-sentence, she leaned forward and kissed the corner of his lips, her smile wicked, "And to tease you like this forever."
Li Mochan snapped back to reality, the corners of his thin lips curling up as a deep chuckle filled his chest.
"Hahaha."
In the end, his laughter filled the entire hospital ward.
Infectious as his laughter was, Ye Jiuliang couldn’t help but laugh as well.
Suddenly, the laughter came to an abrupt halt.
Li Mochan’s long arms swept around, pulling the person tightly against his chest.
"So happy?" Ye Jiuliang let him hold her and asked, amused.
Li Mochan hummed a response, moving close to her ear, incredulously confirming, "This isn’t a dream, is it?"
If it were a dream, he hoped to never wake up.
Ye Jiuliang chuckled lightly, planting a kiss on his sharply defined jaw, "Now, do you still think it’s a dream?"
Li Mochan closed his eyes and then reopened them, his gaze twinkling with a brilliant smile, "Seems a bit more real now, how about you give me two more kisses?"
Ye Jiuliang lowered her head and bumped his chest, "You wish."
"Knock, knock, knock—"
The knocking sound suddenly interrupted, quite spoiling the mood.
Li Mochan, holding the person in his arms, stubbornly stayed put.
"Go open the door," Ye Jiuliang pushed him.
"Don’t care."
"Ajiu, it’s me."
The magnetic voice came through the closed door.
Upon hearing Ji Mingqian’s voice, Li Mochan’s face darkened instantly.
It was that guy again.
With no one opening the door for a long while, Ji Mingqian lifted his hand, ready to knock again, when the prohibited door suddenly opened.
Unsurprisingly, it was Li Mochan.
"Long time no see, Master Li," Ji Mingqian removed his sunglasses, greeting him casually.
Li Mochan cast a disdainful glance at him.
"..."
Hey, that’s contempt, right?
Outrageous.
He, Li Mochan, wanted to poach his cabbage, yet he dared to show disdain.
Ji Mingqian was amused, ignoring him and walking straight in.
Seeing the person sitting on the hospital bed, Ji Mingqian examined her carefully to ensure she was alright before he truly relaxed.
The person was fine, and now he felt like joking, "Tsk tsk, haven’t seen you for a while and you’ve ended up looking like this; seems you’re safer by my side, right, Ajiu?"
As he said this, he raised his voice, purposely so a certain someone could hear.
To show disdain for him, psh, he would infuriate him to death.
Li Mochan returned to sit by the bed, wrapping an arm around Ye Jiuliang’s waist, publicly declaring his claim.
He looked up at Ji Mingqian with an indifferent expression, "My person, I will take care of."
Ji Mingqian’s smile gradually faded, and his gaze darkened as he swept over the hand resting on Ye Jiuliang’s waist.
After a pause, he scoffed ironically, "Your person?"
How come his cabbage had suddenly become Li Mochan’s person?
All thanks to Chu Chen, this had happened now; his cabbage had been led astray by someone else.
"Joking’s not done that way, when did Ajiu become your person, Master Li?"
Li Mochan’s gaze weighed heavily on Ye Jiuliang, waiting for her to define their status.
"Ajiu, what do you say?" Ji Mingqian asked, his voice carrying a menacing undertone.
Ye Jiuliang was caught between laughter and tears, "Have you both eaten gunpowder or what?"
"Ye Jiuliang, don’t change the subject," Ji Mingqian looked down at her from his high position, narrowing his eyes dangerously.
Li Mochan had taken advantage of them in K organization in last night’s business deal, so why should it be so easy for him to walk away with their cabbage.
Li Mochan shot him a cold look, "Who allowed you to yell at her?"
