The Lady of the Prestigious Family is a Big Boss-Chapter 44 - 0, one really dares to speak, and the other really dares to respond.
At this moment, Xiao Mengxue came over to find someone. "Lingchen, Grandfather is calling for you."
Seeing Li Mochan and Ye Jiuliang were also there, she paused for a moment, then promptly revealed a polite smile.
"Mr. Chu."
"Miss Ye, let’s talk some other day," Xiao Lingchen said, his gaze fixed on Li Mochan while he spoke, with emotions hidden deep in his eyes that were obscure and indiscernible.
Ye Jiuliang scoffed lightly.
She didn’t even know him, so what was there to talk about?
Was there something wrong with this guy’s brain?
Not bothering with him, she sipped her juice.
Li Mochan scrutinized Xiao Lingchen with a glance, his thin lips curved in a cold, hard arc.
"Lingchen, we better hurry over, or Grandfather will get anxious," Xiao Mengxue said, sensing the situation was not good, and urged while reaching out to pull Xiao Lingchen away.
Xiao Lingchen withdrew his gaze, placed his wine glass on the table, turned around, and went back to the banquet hall with Xiao Mengxue.
Once he was far away, Li Mochan shifted his stance and looked towards the girl who was drinking juice, the chill in his eyes gradually disappearing.
Sipping on the juice, Ye Jiuliang couldn’t sit still either. Meeting Li Mochan’s gaze, she smirked slyly, "Mr. Li, that guy kept staring at you while he talked. Do you think he likes you, hmm?"
Li Mochan, "..."
"If you don’t speak, does that mean I guessed right?"
Li Mochan’s eyes softened, "In the future, if you see him, just ignore him."
She asked deliberately, "Why?"
With a mischievous smile, she continued, "That Mr. Xiao does have a good look, and he’s quite interesting when he talks."
Before her voice faded, a dark light flickered in the depths of Li Mochan’s eyes, and the air around him turned suddenly cold, "You think he’s good-looking?"
"He’s quite handsome, don’t you think?" Ye Jiuliang was oblivious, not noticing that someone was very displeased at this particular moment.
Li Mochan sneered coldly, "Crooked melon, split dates."
"??"
Realizing that these words described Xiao Lingchen, Ye Jiuliang burst out laughing, "It seems that Mr. Xiao and you have quite a deep grudge."
Look at how many ladies in the banquet hall were eyeing Xiao Lingchen, and yet in his mouth, a high-value face turned into crooked melon, split dates.
If Xiao Lingchen heard this, they might just end up fighting each other.
The girl couldn’t go three sentences without mentioning Xiao Lingchen; Li Mochan felt slightly displeased and jealously said, "Don’t bring him up again."
"If we don’t talk about him, then what shall we discuss?" Ye Jiuliang’s eyes gleamed with a hint of slyness as if she had thought of something.
"How about this? In light of today’s great occasion, let’s add each other on WeChat."
Li Mochan, "That’s fine."
She thought he would find some excuse to fool her, but he agreed so readily that Ye Jiuliang was momentarily taken aback.
"What did you say?"
"Didn’t you want to add WeChat?" he asked.
Ye Jiuliang was half-doubtful, "You have WeChat?"
Could it be that Feng Yi lied to her?
Li Mochan raised an eyebrow, "I have WeChat, is that so strange?"
Seeing her disbelief, he took out his phone, opened the WeChat app, "There, do you believe me now?"
The name on his WeChat account was indeed very straightforward.
Simply the three characters "Li Mochan."
When her gaze landed on his profile picture, Ye Jiuliang couldn’t help but want to laugh.
A fierce yet adorable little wolf cub, which somehow seemed a bit silly and cute after looking at it longer.
It didn’t resemble Li Mochan at all.
Seeing her continually laugh without a word, Li Mochan asked, "What are you laughing at?"
"Your WeChat profile picture."
Li Mochan looked down at his carefully chosen profile picture, his thin lips slightly pursed, "It’s not good-looking?"
"It’s good-looking, very good-looking."
The perfunctory tone was all too obvious.
Li Mochan didn’t mind; he thought it was fine, and besides, that little wolf cub...
His deep gaze swept over the girl’s face, blooming with satisfied laughter, a subtle smile flashing deep within.
It’s quite similar, isn’t it?
"Your phone," he urged.
"Didn’t you want to see how I’d perform?" Ye Jiuliang blocked him with his own words, smiling playfully, "Could it be that my performance tonight was so good, you’ve changed your mind, Mr. Li?"
One dared to say it, and the other dared to respond.
Li Mochan pursed his lips and hummed an acknowledgment.
Ye Jiuliang smiled even more cheerfully, took out his phone, and scanned his QR code, "There we go."
The WeChat notification sounded, Li Mochan’s fingertip glided across the screen, and after a swift verification, he’d finally added the little wolf cub on WeChat.
Her profile picture wasn’t anything special, seeming like a sunset shot against the sky on impulse at dusk.
"Mr. Li, a crowd in the banquet hall is waiting for you, aren’t you planning to go in for a bit?" Ye Jiuliang put away his phone and teased him.
He frowned, "Noisy."
"If you find them noisy, why throw a birthday banquet?" Ye Jiuliang chuckled lightly.
Wasn’t this just asking for trouble?
Li Mochan was silent.
Xiao Lingchen hadn’t been gone long when Feng Yi and Jiang Yisheng arrived.
Two light bulbs, and of the extra high wattage variety.
"You two are clever, hiding away here in peace."
The playful remark, of course, came from Feng Yi.
Leaning back against the dark iron railing, Ye Jiuliang was the epitome of nonchalance.
She joked back lightly, "I can’t compare to President Feng’s charm, attracting the silent admiration of numerous elite ladies, always circling around you."
Feng Yi smiled and pulled Li Mochan into it, "I can’t compare to Ahan; his admirers could circle the capital and still overspill."
"Really?" The mention piqued Ye Jiuliang’s interest, and she looked at Li Mochan with sparkling eyes, "Which family’s young lady has caught Mr. Li’s eye?"
At that, Jiang Yisheng almost laughed out loud.
Asking which family.
It’s none other than the Ye Family’s Ye Jiuliang.
Intelligent in some areas, had her emotional IQ been eaten by a dog?
Li Mochan glanced at Feng Yi, a warning hidden in his gaze.
"Is there one?" Ye Jiuliang asked with a playful smile.
He looked down, "No."
"Then..."
Just as she was about to speak, her phone in her pocket suddenly rang.
She took out her phone and glanced at it, confusion surfacing in her eyes.
Why was Achen calling her at this hour? Had something happened?
At the thought, Ye Jiuliang’s expression became concerned, "You guys talk; I need to take this call."
With that, she hurried off.
Watching her leave, Li Mochan’s gaze swiftly deepened.
Walking to a secluded corner, Ye Jiuliang answered the call, and the man’s deep voice came through, "Ajiu, where did you put the burn ointment?"
Ye Jiuliang asked in surprise, "You got burned?"
"Not me, it’s Anuo. He accidentally hurt himself at the base this afternoon," Chu Chen explained.
Ye Jiuliang frowned, "Is it serious?"
"Just a minor burn, applying ointment will do."
Relieved, Ye Jiuliang responded, "There’s White Jade Ointment in the bottom drawer of the third row in my medicine cabinet, use that."
Chu Chen acknowledged, "Got it." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
"But wait, how come you’re back at headquarters? Weren’t you in country F?" Ye Jiuliang asked belatedly.
Chu Chen coughed to sidestep the question, "Came back for a bit due to some urgent business, and to check out the latest batch of weapons at the base."
Without much thought, Ye Jiuliang believed him.
After hanging up, she checked the time; it was almost time for her to slip away before she bumped into the Ye Family members later.
"Miss Ye is back," Jiang Yisheng, near the window with sharp eyes, spotted Ye Jiuliang approaching from a distance.
Hearing this, Su Yishan’s smile on her face momentarily froze.
