The Lady of the Prestigious Family is a Big Boss-Chapter 804: I’ll Wait for You to Go Back Together (Part 1)
"Cough, cough."
Ji Mingqian was drinking water and was so startled by her words that he choked.
Adopt him as a godson, what kind of joke is that?
He was shocked, and Jiang Yisheng didn’t fare much better, his face turning a mix of pale and blue.
He found his voice, and even his smile looked unnatural, "Mom, stop joking." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
"I’m serious, why are you two reacting so much?" Veya looked between the two of them, confused.
Ji Mingqian took a tissue to wipe his mouth and said with an awkward smile, "Auntie, I appreciate your kindness, but my master is like a godfather to me. I promised to only recognize him as my godfather in this life."
Veya looked disappointed, but only for a moment. She said, "I see, then forget it. You should come over often in the future, and when you visit M Country, no need to stay in a hotel, just stay at our place."
"Xiaojiu said you’ve saved Asheng several times, I haven’t even thanked you properly. Next time you come over, I’ll cook something delicious for you," she said warmly.
With the future mother-in-law having such a good impression of him, Ji Mingqian was almost grinning from ear to ear.
That Ajiu sure is loyal, helping him speak well of him.
Seeing the two chatting so happily, Jiang Yisheng’s lips twitched slightly. Just who is really her son here?
"Mom, did you come here alone?"
"Your dad went mountain climbing and fishing with some friends, so I was just idle at home and came to find you," Veya glanced at him, speaking casually.
"Mom, are you going to stay here tonight?" Jiang Yisheng asked.
"Are you in a hurry to kick me out?"
Jiang Yisheng replied with a helpless laugh, "No, I didn’t mean that. I just meant if you’re staying, I’ll help you check in."
Veya snorted lightly, figuring he still had some conscience.
"No need, I’ve already checked in, and it’s not far from your room."
Jiang Yisheng inwardly thought, ’Oh no,’ and cautiously asked, "Mom, how many days are you planning to stay here?"
"Didn’t you say you were going back after this endorsement shoot? I’ll wait for you to go back together," Veya said.
Jiang Yisheng was petrified, "..."
How’s he supposed to leave with Ji Mingqian now?
Ji Mingqian glanced at Jiang Yisheng with great frustration.
At this time, he could only rely on Jiang Yisheng himself.
The two exchanged a look, and Jiang Yisheng mustered up his courage and said, "Mom, the shoot might drag on for several more days, maybe over a week. Dad would be worried if he noticed you weren’t home, how about you stay for two days and then head back so Dad won’t make a special trip to find you."
"Why do I feel like you’re hiding something in your words?" Veya furrowed her brows slightly, looking at him suspiciously, "You seem eager for me to leave?"
"No, no," Jiang Yisheng quickly waved his hand.
"No, there must be something."
"Really not," Jiang Yisheng said weakly.
Veya stared at him, making Jiang Yisheng feel goosebumps all over.
She suddenly raised her voice, "I know!"
Jiang Yisheng’s heart raced, looking at her with hidden nervousness in his gaze.
He swallowed and steadied his tone, "Mom, what did you find out?"
"I know, you’re afraid of seeing your dad, afraid he’ll scold you, right?" Veya looked at him with a knowing expression.
Jiang Yisheng wiped the imaginary sweat off his forehead, chuckled dryly, and went along, "A little."
Meanwhile, Ji Mingqian secretly let out a sigh of relief.
He changed the topic, "Auntie, J City has many fun places, how about we accompany you to explore around tomorrow?"
Hearing this, Veya’s eyes lit up, "But doesn’t Asheng have a schedule?"
"He’s shooting in the morning, free in the afternoon," Ji Mingqian said.
"Really?" Veya looked at Jiang Yisheng to confirm.
Jiang Yisheng nodded.
Veya smiled, "It’s settled then. You two better not sneak away after a short while."
Ji Mingqian grinned, "We won’t."
After a long flight, Veya was tired and soon returned to her room to rest.
Seeing her off, Ji Mingqian and Jiang Yisheng slumped onto the sofa, both relieved.
The silence stretched out, a soft sigh breaking it.
Jiang Yisheng stared at the ceiling, his voice slightly hoarse, "Ji Mingqian, what to do?"
He had just lied; the shooting progress was going smoothly, likely wrapping up in about three days.
His mother’s sudden visit disrupted all plans. If he said he wouldn’t go home yet, she’d probably drag him back.
Ji Mingqian’s lips curled slightly, turning his head, his eyes reflecting Jiang Yisheng’s delicate profile.
"Do you want to leave with me?"
Jiang Yisheng was momentarily confused, "What?"
"Aren’t you worried that you’ll have to go back with your mom and can’t leave with me?" Ji Mingqian said with a playful smirk.
Jiang Yisheng turned his head away, "Narcissistic, who wants to go with you."
"Knock, knock—"
A sudden knock on the door.
"Asheng."
Veya’s voice came again.
Jiang Yisheng hurriedly pushed Ji Mingqian away, got up, and went to open the door.
Ji Mingqian followed helplessly.
Opening the door, seeing Veya’s pale face, Jiang Yisheng’s heart clenched.
He stepped forward, reached out to support her, "Mom, what’s wrong?"
