The Lady of the Prestigious Family is a Big Boss-Chapter 740: Master Jiu, who challenged the authority, was actually very timid (1)

Chapter 740: Master Jiu, who challenged the authority, was actually very timid (1)

After thinking about it, she still couldn’t figure out any reason worth fighting over between the two of them.

Could it be like a plot in a TV drama, a problem with a woman?

"They fell in love with the same girl?" she ventured to ask.

Li Mochan, "..."

Why did his wolf cub seem not so smart when it came to emotional intelligence?

Seeing his expression turn weird, Ye Jiuliang immediately dismissed the idea.

Unable to figure it out, she couldn’t be bothered to think any longer, as she wrapped her arms around Li Mochan’s neck and started to shake him.

"Stop keeping me in suspense, just tell me already."

His head felt a bit dizzy from her shaking, and Li Mochan reached out to lightly scrape her nose tip, "People in your K organization don’t admit to having low EQ, and still can’t figure it out, hmm?"

Confusion sprinkled like stardust across Ye Jiuliang’s delicate brows and eyes as she met his meaningful gaze, momentarily stupefied.

Aqian gave Asheng a necklace, one ran into the rain to drink, the other vanished without a trace.

Could it be...

Her eyes, half-closed, suddenly opened wide, unable to conceal her astonishment.

"Are you saying Asheng and Aqian, the two of them..."

Her little brain finally got around the bend, not easy at all.

Li Mochan let out a laugh and lightly nodded his head, "Exactly what you’re thinking."

"No way?" she said in surprise, her rosy lips unable to close.

She clutched at Li Mochan’s clothes lapel, "For real or not?"

Li Mochan shrugged with a casual look, "Have you ever seen Ji Mingqian acting out of character like he has recently?"

Ye Jiuliang shook her head truthfully.

"Then, has Ji Mingqian ever insisted that Chu Chen wear something he gave him?" Li Mochan asked again, swinging the necklace with his fingertip.

Ye Jiuliang still shook her head, "...No."

She had never seen Aqian give Chu Chen something like a necklace; the gifts they usually exchanged among the four of them were mostly cars and watches.

"Wait, let me sort this out." She raised her hand to her forehead, the shock was too much, she needed time to digest.

Li Mochan smiled faintly, his fingertips twirling her hair, looping it round and round.

The gentle sunlight filtered through the window, casting a mottled halo around them.

The quiet atmosphere was warm, as if time had stopped moving.

After a while, Ye Jiuliang finally regained her composure.

Raising her head to meet the man’s deep and cold eyes, she asked, "So, did Asheng and Aqian open their hearts last night?"

Li Mochan’s lips curved, "To be precise, Ji Mingqian suddenly got wise, and then he ran off."

Ye Jiuliang secretly cringed.

Coming from him, why did it feel like Aqian was so timid?

He just ran off like that, no wonder Asheng misunderstood.

"It seems the leaders of K organization have something in common, they like to flee when it comes to matters of the heart, right, little rascal?" Li Mochan said darkly.

Old grievances resurfaced, still tinged with jealousy.

It’s sour enough to set your teeth on edge.

Ye Jiuliang raised her hand to touch her nose, giving a dry laugh and feigning ignorance, "Really? I wasn’t aware."

She had her reasons for running away at the time, and she had explained it to him later; did he really need to keep a grudge in his little book?

Li Mochan narrowed his eyes, looking at her with a half-smile, "Or should I help you jog your memory?"

"Cough cough, we were talking about Aqian and the others, why bring me into it?" Ye Jiuliang twisted his arm, saying displeased.

Li Mochan’s lips curved slightly, enjoying the sight of her getting riled up.

"When did you find out about this?" Ye Jiuliang brought the conversation back to the main topic.

He said, "A bit earlier than you guys."

Ye Jiuliang, "..."

Was he bragging to her?

"What about Asheng, what was he thinking? He left without saying a word, does that mean he’s given up?"

"Maybe."

"What do you mean ’maybe’? Did Asheng not say anything to you before he left?" Ye Jiuliang pressed.

Li Mochan replied indifferently, "He said he might let go of it all once he returns."

He knew that what he said was just a self-deception.

If one can let go, they wouldn’t leave without a word.

Hearing this, Ye Jiuliang showed a look of surprise. If Asheng had said this, was there still any room for maneuver?

If only Aqian hadn’t run away yesterday, would things have been different?

"Why the long face? Let them sort out their issues," Li Mochan said as he lightly tapped her nose with a finger, amused.

Too much interference in this matter ultimately wouldn’t be good. If they want this relationship, it had to be up to them, especially with the family’s disapproval.

Ye Jiuliang understood his point, but with the situation being such a mess, reconciling might not be so easy.

"Aren’t you going to say something to your uncles?"

Asheng just took off like that, leaving the uncles worried about him, which wasn’t right.

"Asheng will send postcards back regularly. I will give a heads up to the uncles, don’t worry, it’s not a big deal," Li Mochan said.

Ye Jiuliang sighed helplessly and leaned on his shoulder, "Mochan, do you think if the uncles knew, would they agree to them being together?"

After pondering for a moment, he replied, "It’s difficult."

From his understanding of the uncles, if they found out about the situation, they would definitely not permit it, and might even prevent Asheng from meeting Ji Mingqian.

Hearing that, Ye Jiuliang frowned and buried her face into the crook of his neck.

"Keep Asheng’s whereabouts a secret for now. Don’t tell anyone, especially Ji Mingqian," Li Mochan instructed.

Ye Jiuliang hummed in a muffled voice, feeling sorry for Aqian.

Li Mochan raised his hand and ruffled her hair, speaking in a deep voice, "Don’t be troubled. I’ll take a shower, and then take you out for something tasty, alright?"

She had barely touched breakfast and now, knowing Jiang Yisheng’s whereabouts, the heavy burden on her mind was finally lifted. Ye Jiuliang looked at him with bright eyes, "What tasty thing?"

Seeing her spirits lifted, Li Mochan smiled mysteriously, "You guess."

"Say it or don’t. I’ll wait for you downstairs. Be quick," Ye Jiuliang jumped out of his embrace, urging him on.

She was suddenly pulled back by the wrist. As Ye Jiuliang looked back at him, Li Mochan teased, "Don’t you want to join me?"

Ye Jiuliang bared her teeth, breaking free from his grasp, "I think you should take a cold shower. It might cool you down since you’re always so improper."

After a few more retorts, she hastened her pace towards the door, fearing he might catch her.

Li Mochan folded his arms and watched her disappear, smiling at the corner of his mouth.

She acts tough but she’s actually timid.

...

Bedroom, dim lights.

The sound of things being thrown around, crashing loudly.

After a while, the hoarse voice of an old man rose up.

"You’re saying Mo Yu is dead?"

The Mo family butler looked at the mess on the floor, head lowered, and replied respectfully, "According to the information, it is indeed so. Not only that, Aqiao is also dead. They were both buried by the young master himself."

Old Master Mo’s face darkened, "Where is Mo Chen now?"

"The young master and Ye Yuan have moved to Ye Jiuliang’s place and are living with her now."
