The Lady of the Prestigious Family is a Big Boss-Chapter 824: You’re Not Allowed to Talk to Her (3)
Li Mochan reached for the phone and said coldly and ruthlessly, "Figure it out yourself."
With that, he decisively hung up the phone.
"Hey, Li Mochan, you..." Ji Mingqian was just about to shout back when the "beep beep" sound suddenly came from the phone.
That damn Li Mochan.
He glanced at the time; it was still early.
At this hour, he wasn’t sure what Asheng was doing.
Taking the room card, he stepped out in his slippers.
Walking to Jiang Yisheng’s room, he reached out and knocked on the door.
"Asheng."
Soon after he spoke, someone inside quickly came to open the door.
"You..."
He was about to speak when Jiang Yisheng frowned and winked at him, "Shh."
Feeling puzzled, Ji Mingqian’s gaze swept the room and his smile froze.
It’s already ten o’clock, why is his dad still here?
"Come in first," Jiang Yisheng invited.
Ji Mingqian entered the room, closing the door behind him.
Facing Jiang Hai, he put away his casual demeanor and politely said, "Uncle."
"Mingqian, still not resting this late?" Jiang Hai looked at Jiang Yisheng and said gently.
Ji Mingqian feigned, "I suddenly remembered something work-related that I need to discuss with Asheng."
"Okay, you two chat. I’ll head back to my room to rest," Jiang Hai stood up and said blandly.
"Asheng, don’t sleep in tomorrow. Remember the nine o’clock flight."
Jiang Yisheng nodded, seeing Jiang Hai out of the room.
Once the door was closed, Ji Mingqian immediately asked, "Why is your dad here so late?"
Jiang Yisheng’s eyes flickered evasively, and he said nonchalantly, "It’s nothing, just came to chat with me."
"Really?" Ji Mingqian grabbed his arm, not letting him go, "Just chatting?"
Facing his penetrating gaze, Jiang Yisheng was at a loss for words, "I..."
The more evasive he was, the more Ji Mingqian was convinced something was up.
"Spit it out," he urged.
Unable to lie, Jiang Yisheng bit his lip and confessed, "My dad’s friend’s daughter is coming to M Country to travel, and wants me to help entertain her for two days."
"Friend’s daughter?" Ji Mingqian immediately seized on the crucial point, his tone suddenly turning dangerous.
"Do you also know her?"
Asking him to help entertain for two days, this clearly had ulterior motives.
In plain terms, it was a disguised blind date.
"Just met once," Jiang Yisheng said, feeling inexplicably guilty.
Having actually met her, Ji Mingqian felt uneasy.
"How did you meet?"
"Are you close?"
"Is she interested in you?" 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
Enraged, he fired off three questions in a row.
Jiang Yisheng’s lips twitched, unsure which question to answer first.
"Ji Mingqian, are you overthinking this?"
"Don’t change the subject, just answer," Ji Mingqian demanded.
His grip on Jiang Yisheng’s arm tightened, leaving him speechless.
"We met at my dad’s birthday party, but we barely spoke, just a few words. Whether she’s interested in me, I don’t know. How about this? When I see her, I can ask her for you."
Ji Mingqian’s gaze darkened, and he said domineeringly, "No, when you see her, you’re not allowed to speak to her."
"Not allowed to speak, then I’ll have to ignore her. How will I explain this to my dad?" Jiang Yisheng said with amusement.
Ji Mingqian said, "Absolutely not, otherwise, just tell your dad after you finish the ancestral rites for your grandma that you have a new schedule, some endorsement, and need to leave for a few days."
"I just finished filming an endorsement, where’s the new one coming from?"
"Just your name, Jiang Yisheng, will have endorsements lining up for you," Ji Mingqian planned out clearly for him.
"If not, I can arrange endorsements for you. Companies under the K organization can provide endless endorsements for you to choose from."
Listening to his straightforward words, Jiang Yisheng couldn’t help but laugh.
He raised a hand to pat his shoulder, "Alright, enough, I’m not interested in her, why are you so anxious."
"That’s still not okay, don’t tell me you don’t understand your dad’s intentions by giving you this ’task’?" Ji Mingqian grabbed his hand, spun around, and trapped him in front of him.
Jiang Yisheng laughed lightly, "I’ll just act as if I don’t know, my dad won’t force me, he won’t push me to go on a blind date, you can rest assured."
"If I could feel assured, I’d be damned," Ji Mingqian scoffed, jealously saying, "Your dad clearly set you up on a blind date."
Damn Ajiu for not being dependable, he’s flying over to find them tomorrow, what vacation, he’s burning up here.
"I’m just responsible for entertaining her a bit, then find a guide for her later, are you worried I’ll hit it off with her?" Jiang Yisheng gave him a sidelong glance, teasing.
"I already agreed with my dad, if I back out now, he’ll beat me," he said.
Ji Mingqian pursed his lips, and after a long while, he sullenly asked, "When is that woman arriving?"
"The day after tomorrow," Jiang Yisheng replied.
Ji Mingqian’s eyes flickered slightly, the day after tomorrow?
Then he could visit Ajiu and the others and still make it in time.
"Today’s shoot was exhausting, I’m sleepy, you should head back to your room. If my dad comes over, it’ll be hard to explain," Jiang Yisheng pried his hand away, weariness in his eyes.
Ji Mingqian stubbornly refused to let go, his magnetic voice coming from his throat, "Together."
"Together my ass, just go back already..."

Returning to his room, Jiang Hai still looked troubled.
Noticing his off mood, Veya put down the comb and walked to his side, "Ahai, you’ve been preoccupied all day, is something bothering you?"
"No, just some issues with a friend, but it’s been resolved, nothing major," not wanting her to worry, Jiang Hai made an excuse.
