The Lady of the Prestigious Family is a Big Boss-Chapter 826: I Already Have Someone I Like (2)
Seeing that the two of them were about to start bickering again, Ye Jiuliang said, "Let’s go inside and talk."
Ji Mingqian snorted lightly and swaggered inside.
Ye Jiuliang shook her head with a smile and pulled Li Mochan along as they followed inside.
With the air conditioning on inside, Ji Mingqian grabbed a bottle of chilled beer and sat comfortably on the sofa, drinking.
"Not going to find Asheng, so what are you looking for us for?" Ye Jiuliang looked at him, pretending to ask knowingly.
After downing a whole can of beer, Ji Mingqian crushed the can and rolled his eyes at her, "Don’t play dumb with me here. Don’t you know why I’m here?"
Ye Jiuliang shrugged, "I really don’t."
Thinking of someone far away in M Country, Ji Mingqian got frustrated, pouting and saying, "Can’t you two take a helping hand? Hurry back to M Country."
"If you want to go back, go back yourself." Li Mochan glanced at him, instantly seeing through his mind.
Another blow.
Ji Mingqian was full of frustration.
Unable to bear it, he turned to Ye Jiuliang to complain, "Ajiu, look at him."
If it weren’t for Asheng, he would have stopped wasting words and just fought him.
"You two bicker, don’t drag me into it." Ye Jiuliang spread her hands, smiling serenely.
Ji Mingqian, "..."
The fish in the kitchen wasn’t ready yet. Li Mochan was too lazy to argue with him and got up to head to the kitchen.
Ji Mingqian looked upset, reached for another can of beer, and yanked open the ring pull, "Ajiu, are you going to help or not?"
"If you want to find Asheng, just go openly, you two should be careful, no one will think much about it." Ye Jiuliang didn’t understand why he was so entangled and gave him a suggestion, "Otherwise, plan the same itinerary for both, and you go guest star at Asheng’s concert. You two can spend more time together then too."
Ji Mingqian sighed, "You think I haven’t thought of that? The key is Asheng’s concert isn’t starting that soon, what can I do there now."
"Then why ask us to go back?"
"It’s not like that. If you and Li Mochan go back, I have an excuse to visit often, and you two can cover for me."
Ye Jiuliang was filled with black lines, his calculation was pretty loud.
"The signal here is so bad, why don’t you two just not stay here and go back quickly?" Ji Mingqian continued.
Ye Jiuliang glanced at him, "I just like staying here."
She had only been here two days and hadn’t played enough. Moreover, in two months, when her belly got bigger, she couldn’t move around as she could now, so she needed to enjoy it while she could.
Ji Mingqian leaned back, collapsing on the sofa.
Seeing his miserable look, Ye Jiuliang picked up a bag of chips and threw it at him, "Alright, stop acting lifeless. Stay put for two days, and we’ll go back together then."
They had only been apart for two days; going back too soon would definitely arouse suspicion. Her uncle wasn’t so easily fooled either.
Hearing this, Ji Mingqian’s eyes lit up, and he immediately sat up straight, "How many days?"
Ye Jiuliang rolled her eyes, "Two days, okay?"
Ji Mingqian curved his lips, looking finally satisfied.
...
M Country.
In the afternoon, the study door and windows were open, a faint tea fragrance wafting in the air.
"Knock, knock, knock."
Jiang Yisheng knocked on the door, looking up at the man brewing tea, "Dad."
"Come in." Jiang Hai put down the teacup, looked at Jiang Yisheng, and said calmly.
Jiang Yisheng walked slowly into the study and sat across from Jiang Hai.
"Dad, what do you want to see me about?"
"Asheng, why don’t you take Uncle Yake’s daughter out to play?" Jiang Hai asked nonchalantly.
"It’s rare for her to come around; we should show some hospitality."
"She’s getting along well with a few of my friends, and I’ve been busy discussing concert plans with Wen Rang these days, so I haven’t had much time." Jiang Yisheng masked with an indifferent expression.
"Is it really just because you’re busy with the concert?" Jiang Hai’s gaze locked on him, his voice slightly deepened.
Jiang Yisheng’s heart skipped a beat, his face still remaining calm, "Yeah, busy with the concert, Dad, why are you suddenly asking this?"
"Asheng, what do you think of Uncle Yake’s daughter?" Jiang Hai changed his tone, his line of questioning softening somewhat.
"She’s nice." He replied without much thought.
This time, Jiang Hai asked more directly, "How do you feel about her?"
"Dad, you’re not trying to set me up on a blind date, are you?" Jiang Yisheng humorously deflected, trying to pass it off as a joke.
"You’re both young, and Uncle Yake’s daughter has a gentle temperament, she’s a nice girl, perhaps you should consider it?" Jiang Yisheng replied.
Though he had some idea about his father’s intentions, he hadn’t expected his father to discuss it with such seriousness.
Jiang Yisheng was momentarily stunned, unable to wrap his head around it.
"Dad, you..."
"Asheng, I’m not trying to pressure you. I genuinely think Uncle Yake’s daughter is quite a good match for you." Jiang Hai continued.
There was a flicker of discomfort in Jiang Yisheng’s eyes, forcing a bitter smile, "Dad, I’m really in no rush. Can’t we put off the blind dating for now?"
Ji Mingqian had hit the nail on the head; his father was serious this time, actually setting up a blind date. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
Jiang Hai shot him a sharp look and asked gravely, "Asheng, you don’t already have a girlfriend, do you?"
"No." Jiang Yisheng’s eyes darted as he denied without hesitation.
"Asheng, you’ve rarely lied since childhood, and when you lie, you can’t look me in the eye." Jiang Hai pierced through his lie, his face slightly darkening.
Jiang Yisheng’s face turned pale, panic swirling within him, "Dad, I..."
"Asheng, have you been getting closer to Mingqian lately?" Not waiting for an excuse, Jiang Hai continued.
Jiang Yisheng seemed struck by lightning, what little color remained drained from his face.
Could it really have been noticed?
Jiang Hai had been observing his expression, and seeing the change, his suspicion grew stronger.
His expression turned cold, "Asheng, are you going to say it yourself, or should I ask?"
"Dad, I..." Jiang Yisheng lowered his head, not daring to meet his gaze.
Waiting for a long time without hearing a word from him, Jiang Hai pressed on, "If you don’t say, I’ll discuss your engagement with Uncle Yake’s daughter with him tomorrow."
Jiang Yisheng’s face turned stark white, his hands clenching involuntarily.
After hesitating for a while, he stood up, met Jiang Hai’s angry gaze, and hoarsely said, "Dad, I already have someone I like."
This couldn’t be hidden for much longer, especially since his father had already noticed, continuing to hide it was pointless.
