The Lady of the Prestigious Family is a Big Boss-Chapter 154, What did you just call me? (first update)
Ji Mingqian was puzzled, "Then who do you think it might be?"
"Do you remember the man in black who used a poison dart that I asked you to investigate before?" Ye Jiuliang’s eyes flashed coldly, speaking thoughtfully.
Ji Mingqian realized, "You think it’s the same group of people?"
Ye Jiuliang nodded, then continued, "At the warehouse, the man in black also used a poison dart to buy me out, it’s the same kind, right, those men in black you first let Achen hold onto, I’ll interrogate them when I get back."
Upon hearing this, Ji Mingqian snorted with laughter, "It’s too late, those men in black were taken away by Li Mochan’s men."
Ye Jiuliang furrowed her brows, which complicated matters.
"I’ll talk to Achen about this, and you focus on healing these next few days." Ji Mingqian glanced at her, "Look at the state of you, so downtrodden."
Ye Jiuliang, "You think I can’t beat you up in my current state?"
Ji Mingqian pursed his lips, asking persistently, "Seriously, have you fallen for Li Mochan?"
"Is there a problem?"
"Nonsense, have you considered that he might be suspicious when he finds out about your identity?" Ji Mingqian almost rolled his eyes to the sky, "Aren’t you afraid that he’ll suspect you approached him with an ulterior motive after learning your identity?"
Ye Jiuliang curved her lips up, her eyes brimming with confident light, "As long as he is Li Mochan, he will definitely trust me."
Her certain words inadvertently made Ji Mingqian feel bitter again.
"Ye Jiuliang, are you out of your mind?" he said irritably.
Thinking back, he remembered how long it took them to win her closeness and trust, and now, it was merely a matter of a few months for Li Mochan to achieve this; just the thought brought tears of sorrow.
Ye Jiuliang chuckled lightly, raising an eyebrow, "Isn’t it good for the Dark Hall to be this close with the organization?"
Ji Mingqian haha’d, "Good my ass."
He stood up, and Ye Jiuliang asked, "You’re leaving so soon?"
"Am I supposed to stay here and be annoyed by you?" Ji Mingqian put on his sunglasses, his thin lips curving into a teasing smile, "Now, just seeing Li Mochan makes me frustrated."
Ye Jiuliang burst into laughter.
After taking a few steps, he turned back around.
"If I get into a fight with Li Mochan, whose side will you take?" he pushed his sunglasses down and his attractive peach blossom eyes shone with anticipation.
Ye Jiuliang, "...I’ll help you."
"And you even hesitated," Ji Mingqian complained.
"Hesitated for just a few seconds, big deal, so stingy," she retorted.
His overall answer was quite satisfying, Ji Mingqian held his head high, quite proudly, "I knew that Li Mochan guy couldn’t compare to me, at least you have a bit of conscience."
Ye Jiuliang teased with a mischievous smile, "Cough cough, maybe you misunderstood something."
Ji Mingqian looked at her with puzzled eyes, sensing that her next words would be anything but pleasant.
As expected, her next words hit him like a critical strike.
"If the two of you were to fight, you definitely wouldn’t be able to beat Li Mochan, and if I didn’t help you, I would have to treat your injuries, which would be too much of a hassle."
Ji Mingqian, "..."
Damn it.
"Ye Jiuliang, you’ve gone too far, we’re through," He grabbed a pillow from the bed and threw it at Ye Jiuliang, then stormed out.
"Don’t go, Aqian, let’s chat more," Ye Jiuliang dodged the pillow, laughing as she leaned back.
After leaving the ward, Ji Mingqian ran into Li Mochan returning with breakfast in the corridor, striding heavily and wearing a cold expression.
"Hmph," he scoffed and passed by him into the elevator.
Li Mochan’s deep eyes darkened slightly, carrying the breakfast back to the ward.
After placing the breakfast on the table, he walked into the inner room, saw no one on the bed, and his handsome face suddenly darkened.
Could it be that those men in black took advantage of his absence to come again?
"Ye Jiuliang."
His low voice suddenly changed tone.
He turned to leave when the door to the nearby restroom suddenly opened.
"Here."
Leaning against the doorframe, Ye Jiuliang’s lips curved in a teasing smile, "I just went to the restroom; what’s the rush?"
Relief washed over Li Mochan’s face as he strode over with his long legs.
"You..."
Suddenly, the world dimmed, and she fell into the man’s warm embrace, her slender waist gripped by his iron arms.
Immediately after, his magnetic voice let out two words, "It’s fine."
Pressed against his chest, Ye Jiuliang couldn’t see his expression but could hear the concern in his voice.
She smiled, "It’s fine what?"
Li Mochan remained silent, just burying his head in her neck.
Around them, you could hear a pin drop.
Just when Ye Jiuliang thought he wouldn’t answer, his voice came entangled with emotion, "It’s fine that you’re here."
Her lips curled into a bright smile, "Don’t worry, I’ve said I would monopolize you; wherever I go, I’ll bring you with me."
With that, the iron arm around her waist tightened a few more degrees.
"Hey hey, I’m going to be out of breath here," Ye Jiuliang said with a resigned smile.
Li Mochan let her go and lifted her by the waist, "Your wound hasn’t healed yet; how can you just walk around?"
Having a human-shaped sofa that moved, Ye Jiuliang didn’t bother to exert herself.
She leaned comfortably on his shoulder, "When nature calls, you understand?"
Carefully placing her on the sofa, Li Mochan picked up a bag and started taking out the breakfast he had bought.
"Have some porridge first." He sat next to her and spooned a mouthful of porridge.
Seeing that he was about to feed her, Ye Jiuliang said, "I can do it myself." It was just a small cut on the arm, nothing serious.
Li Mochan dodged her hand and brought the spoon to her lips, "Just sit still."
Suddenly feeling like she was being treated like a three-year-old, Ye Jiuliang shook her head with a gentle laugh and opened her mouth to accept the porridge he offered.
She licked the corner of her lips; it still wasn’t as delicious as when he made it.
"I want to be discharged."
She knew her own body well; there was no need to stay here.
Li Mochan frowned, disapproving, "Your wounds haven’t healed."
Taking another mouthful, Ye Jiuliang slanted her body toward him, softening her voice, "Mohan, I don’t want to stay here, can we please go back?"
Li Mochan’s fingers grasping the spoon paused as he looked down at her, his eyes filled with astonishment, "What did you just call me?"
"Mohan." Her voice was soft and playful with laughter.
The image of the girl’s delightful, coy smile caught his eye, and a deep light flickered in Li Mochan’s eyes as his sexy Adam’s apple bobbed.
"Say it again," he coaxed.
Ye Jiuliang took the spoon and bowl from his hands, deliberately teasing him, "Say what?"
Li Mochan let out a husky laugh and pulled her close; Ye Jiuliang exclaimed, "Stop it, the porridge is going to spill."
He took the bowl away and placed it on the table, his lips nearing her ear, "Say it one more time, and we can go back right after."
Ye Jiuliang lifted her head from his embrace, her clear, mischievous eyes shining as she smiled, "Then you have to promise me one thing first."
"Hmm?"
"You’re not allowed to call me ’wolf pup’ in front of others again," she demanded.
If Anuo and the others heard that, she’d have no face left.
Li Mochan raised an eyebrow, "Then what should I call you?"
Ye Jiuliang, "You could do it like Ji Mingqian."
"No," he refused without a second thought.
