The Lady of the Prestigious Family is a Big Boss-Chapter 92 - 0, just indulge her then (in the middle of the night)
The next day, early in the morning.
The sky showed the faint light of dawn after the rain had finally stopped following a whole night.
The air was filled with the scent of fresh grass.
Jiang Yisheng, who had curled up in a chair to sleep, woke up feeling as though his whole body was about to fall apart.
He turned his sore neck, and the movement was too big, causing the coat draped over him to slip off.
He quickly caught the coat and found it somewhat familiar.
Instinctively, he turned to the side, but the chair beside him was empty, with no sign of Ji Mingqian.
He shook the coat, took a closer look, and confirmed it was indeed the one that Ji Mingqian had been wearing the night before.
No wonder he suddenly felt less cold in the middle of the night; it turned out Ji Mingqian had given him his coat.
He got up with the coat in hand to look for someone, and after circling the set, he couldn’t find him.
At last, he saw Chen Xin talking with Director Xu and quickly approached.
"Chen Xin, do you know where Ji Mingqian is?"
It was rare for Jiang the male god to initiate conversation, and Chen Xin became overjoyed, "Our big BOSS has been out for a couple of days on business. Is there something you need him for, Jiang the male god? Should I give him a call for you?"
"No need, it’s nothing important," Jiang Yisheng said, clutching the coat in his hand, his voice gentle.
"Uncle Xu, I won’t disturb you any longer. I’ll be going now, and we can catch up for a meal another day."
Director Xu replied, "Drive carefully on the road, the mountain paths can be tough, stay safe."
Jiang Yisheng nodded, the coat folded over his arm, and uncharacteristically decided not to leave it with Chen Xin to return.
...
When the plane arrived in S city, it was still dimly lit by the early light.
Most of the other passengers had left, and Chu Chen turned to look at the woman sleeping beside him, his thin lips curling into an indulgent smile.
"Anuo, wake up," he said in a low and exceptionally tender voice.
After calling her a few times, Gu Xinuo sleepily looked at him. Just woken, her voice was a bit hoarse, "Are we there yet?"
Chu Chen hummed in acknowledgment, "Put on your coat, it’s chilly this morning."
Gu Xinuo picked up the coat that had slipped onto her lap. Its oversized fit and the design revealed that it was clearly a man’s.
"I’m not cold, my coat is in my luggage, I’ll get it when we go out. You wear it," she said.
Chu Chen frowned slightly and ruffled her hair.
"Just put it on quickly."
Gu Xinuo rolled her eyes at him, "You’ve nearly made a bird’s nest out of my hair."
Chu Chen laughed softly and packed her tablet along with his stuff in his bag.
Eventually, unable to resist Chu Chen, she came out of the airport wearing a loose black coat over her.
"I wonder if Ajiu has arrived yet," Gu Xinuo said, taking out her phone and tapping at it, only to find it was still a black screen.
The battery was dead.
"Achen, lend me your phone," she requested.
Chu Chen said, "It’s in the bag, take it yourself."
Gu Xinuo turned around, reached back to grab the backpack thrown on the rear seat, dug out the phone, and dialed Ye Jiuliang’s number directly.
The phone on the other end rang for a long time without anyone picking up.
Chu Chen gave her a sidelong glance, "He’s probably still on the plane."
Gu Xinuo hummed in response and stuffed the phone back into the bag.
"At this hour, Aqian that guy is probably still asleep." She showed a mischievous grin, "Achen, let’s play a prank on him."
"Aren’t you afraid he’ll blow a fuse?" Chu Chen smiled with a lifted corner in his mouth.
Gu Xinuo twirled her wine-red curls with her fingertips, fearless, "Afraid of what? With Little Liangliang around, she’s got my back."
Chu Chen’s handsome face turned dark; his blood pressure was about to spike because of her this early in the morning.
Still in his dreams, Ji Mingqian felt a chill crawl up his spine and he pulled the blanket tighter around himself.
The car drove into the hotel’s underground parking lot, Chu Chen carrying the luggage, while Gu Xinuo ran ahead to check in.
"Thump, thump, thump."
Knocking sounds arose, yet the person sleeping on the bed showed no signs of waking up.
"Thump, thump, thump thump thump..."
The person outside kept knocking persistently, as if they would knock forever if Ji Mingqian didn’t open the door.
"Damn."
Ji Mingqian sat up, the blanket sliding to his waist, revealing his toned chest.
He ruffled his hair and walked to the door with a sullen expression.
"Which idiot doesn’t know..."
The words "whether to live or die" got stuck in his throat as Ji Mingqian froze in shock.
Chu Chen stood with his arms crossed, a mischievous smile lurking in his eyes.
"What, I traveled all this way to celebrate your birthday and you still want to cuss someone out?"
A bucket of cold water seemed to pour down from head to toe, instantly dispelling his grogginess; Ji Mingqian scratched his head, "Didn’t you say you couldn’t arrive until tonight?"
"There was nothing much at the headquarters, so I came over earlier," said Chu Chen, casting a quick glance behind him.
"Aqian, good morning," a crisp laugh approached from behind.
Ji Mingqian felt a shiver down his spine and cursed inwardly.
He turned around and a balloon came hurtling towards his face, "Pop!" it burst.
Flour exploded in the air, turning his dark, short hair instantly silver.
Ji Mingqian stood still, his expression changing from one to another, settling finally on resignation.
Snorting flour up his nose, he sneezed continuously and said irritatedly, "Gu Xinuo, are you poisonous or something? Trying to pick a fight first thing in the morning?"
He knew these guys coming over early couldn’t be up to any good.
Gu Xinuo giggled, made a face at him, then hid behind Chu Chen.
"Chu Chen, so you spoil her," said Ji Mingqian turning to see Chu Chen’s tender expression, huffing angrily.
Chu Chen smirked, "Hurry up and change; let’s take a trip to the sports venue."
Ji Mingqian glared at him, thinking how heartless he was when a pretty girl was involved.
...
Beisen Academy
"Wei Bei, what are you doing standing here?" Wei Nan asked, coming out of the office with documents in hand and spotting Wei Bei standing in the corner, confused.
Wei Bei dragged him over and asked in a low voice, "How is the master’s mood right now?"
Wei Nan was bewildered by his tense appearance, "What’s wrong?"
"Ye Jiuliang hasn’t come to Beisen today; he asked for leave," Wei Bei said with a miserable expression.
Wei Nan, "So what?"
Wei Bei slapped him on the head, "I’ve checked; Ye Jiuliang went to the airport early this morning and flew to S city."
"What’s he doing in S city?"
"How would I know?" Wei Bei gripped his sleeve tighter, "How about this, you come inside with me."
Wei Nan gave him a ’are you out of your mind’ look and yanked back his sleeve, "I’m not going, you go by yourself,"
Before Wei Bei could respond, he had run off at top speed.
"Hey, Wei Nan, you ungrateful jerk..." Wei Bei jumped up and down in frustration.
