The Lady of the Prestigious Family is a Big Boss-Chapter 46 - 0, Master Jiu: How about I offer myself in return? (Add more)
"You didn’t call." he said calmly.
Ye Jiuliang was taken aback, then remembered the promise she had made, and couldn’t help but smile helplessly, "Sorry, I forgot."
Listening to the eerie screams coming from the other end of the phone, Li Mochan frowned, "What are you doing?"
"Watching a horror movie." she said.
"..."
Watching a horror movie late at night, she must be out of her mind.
Ye Jiuliang, "Is there something you need? If not, I’m hanging up."
"Get some rest early." His cold voice softened a bit.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Jiuliang put down her mobile phone and felt drowsy once again.
...
For several days in a row, Ye Jiuliang was confined to the house.
Upon learning the reason, knowing she had been punished to copy the family rules again, Li Mochan couldn’t help but laugh on the other end of the phone.
This time the punishment was harsher, a full fifty times she had to copy them.
Without the need to go to Beisen every day, Ye Jiuliang just agreed to it conveniently, thinking that staying in the Jing Pavilion and sleeping in was not a bad idea after all.
Little did she know, a certain Master Jiu who couldn’t see his little wolf cub was getting antsy.
"Li Lao, what brings you to my place today?" Elder Ye asked while setting up a chess board.
Old Master Li, dressed in a green Tang suit looking energetic, replied, "The engagement date for the two children isn’t set yet, I came to discuss it with you, and also to have a game of chess and tea with you."
"It seems like the first time Mohan has come to our home, a rare guest indeed." Elder Ye looked up and shifted his gaze toward the person beside Elder Li, his voice ringing with jovial banter.
Elder Li said, "Since Shaohui is still abroad and hasn’t returned, Mohan was free at home today, so I had him accompany me here. Our families are about to become relatives, we should visit each other more."
Li Mochan had no interest in listening to their chat and found an excuse, "You keep chatting, I’m going to make a call outside."
"This kid." Old Master Li muttered under his breath, then turned his head and started playing chess with Elder Ye.
Leaving the living room, Li Mochan glanced around and saw a gardener not far away tending to the yard; he stepped over there.
Jing Pavilion
"Checking in for what? Boss man’s currently grounded." Ye Jiuliang lay on the soft couch, the light from her Bluetooth headset flickering.
"Wow, someone can actually ground Master Jiu?" On the other end of the phone, Ji Mingqian had just finished removing makeup, and nearly spewed out his iced coffee from laughing.
"Sounds like a pretty bleak daily life."
Ye Jiuliang snorted, "Are you done filming?"
"Yeah, filmed an entire night scene, I’m going to catch up on some sleep later."
"Go get your sleep."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Jiuliang glanced at the door where delicate footsteps were drawing nearer.
She lifted her hand to take off the Bluetooth headset and walked back to her desk.
Just as she sat down, she heard the voice of the guard at the door.
"Master Five."
His tone was cautious and respectful.
Master Five?
Ye Jiuliang’s hand holding the pen paused.
Her first reaction was that Li Mochan had come.
Clear eyes inadvertently curved into a smile that she hadn’t even noticed herself, and she threw the pen on the table, then, thinking of something, picked it up again.
The door opened, and the man, with his commanding presence, walked in against the light, wrapping the air with an invisible layer of oppression.
His deep black eyes scanned the girl sitting at the front of the desk, the corners of his thin lips quietly curving into a faint smile.
Just then, the girl met his gaze with a mischievous smile in her eyes, "Master Li of the Fifth, your visit graces us, a pity for the lack of a grand welcome."
With the little wolf cub smiling, Li Mochan’s heart turned into a complete mush.
The corners of her bright red lips suppressed a smile, "Haven’t finished copying the family rules yet?"
Mentioning the family rules, Ye Jiuliang curled her lips.
After closing the door, Li Mochan walked over to her side, pulled up a chair, and sat down opposite her.
"Master Li, you’re not here to bring me the test paper, are you?" Ye Jiuliang supported her chin, tilted her head slightly, and teased.
Li Mochan raised an eyebrow, skipped over her question, and asked in a faint voice, "When are you going back to Beisen?"
"Fifty times, still half to go," Ye Jiuliang said, sprawled languidly over the desk. Suddenly remembering something, her eyes lit up as she looked at Li Mochan with a smile that carried a hint of flattery.
"How about you help me copy?"
Having Master Li copy the family rules for her, that little wolf cub must be dreaming of reaching the heavens.
Li Mochan stared at her for a few seconds and let out a chuckle, "If I help you with the punishment copying, what’s in it for me, hm?"
"As for the benefits..." Ye Jiuliang dragged out the ending tone of her words.
She crossed her arms and placed them on the desk, leaning forward to close the distance between them instantly.
With a lifted smile, she said, "How about I give myself to you?"
Her warm breath sprayed on his face, the girl’s clear eyes gazing straight at him, Li Mochan’s eyes darkened slightly, his breath almost unsteady.
"Ye Jiuliang," he said in an extremely light voice.
"Hmm?"
"Sit properly."
Ye Jiuliang pretended not to understand, her face shamelessly beaming with a smile, "Aren’t I sitting properly right now?"
"Are you doing this on purpose?"
"What..." Her gaze unintentionally drifted past his earlobe, noticing the long-missed hint of faint red as if discovering a new world. She laughed so hard she leaned back.
"Hahaha."
Not understanding the situation, Li Mochan’s thin lips tightened into a straight line.
The next second, upon hearing her words, his excessively handsome face instantly darkened, "Li Mochan, are you blushing?"
It was a question, yet it was full of affirmation.
So it turns out, when he gets shy, his ears turn red, which is really...
Such an interesting reaction.
Ye Jiuliang nearly cried with laughter.
The heat from his earlobes, as if validating the girl’s words, made Li Mochan slightly annoyed as he got up to leave.
Is he angry?
Seeing him about to leave, Ye Jiuliang forced back her laughter and quickly followed after him.
"You aren’t really that petty, are you? I was just joking; don’t take it seriously."
Suddenly, his arm was grabbed, and looking down, Li Mochan saw a fair little hand in his gaze, its light pink fingernails even carrying a hint of cuteness.
However, Master Li was still in a huff, his face cold and silent.
Seeing his tense jawline, Ye Jiuliang suddenly thought of an adjective, tsundere, and she felt a sudden urge to laugh.
But she couldn’t really make him angry.
Suppressing the laughter, she tugged at his sleeve, "Master Li, getting angry makes one age faster. Don’t be mad, I was just joking with you."
"Are you saying I’m old?" he asked darkly.
The point of his focus seemed a bit odd.
No matter how odd it was, the task at hand was to butter him up first. Ye Jiuliang blurted out, "Who said that? In the whole capital, Master Li is the most handsome, no one can match your looks."
Whoosh, a torrent of rainbow farts came rushing in.
Boom. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Weirdly enough, a certain Master found it very pleasing to the ear.
