"Oh my god."

A sharp scream, filled with horror.

"Ye Jiuliang, you’ve gotten bold, you actually with Li Mochan..." Gu Xinuo clapped her hands together with a smack.

She asked rather subtly, "Like that?"

Ye Jiuliang silently blushed.

"Gu Xinuo, did you drink too much last night?"

Always thinking about such nonsense.

"If it’s like that, it’s like that, don’t be shy." Gu Xinuo teased, winking and making faces.

Ye Jiuliang held her forehead, torn between laughter and tears, "What exactly am I like?"

"There’s evidence." Saying so, Gu Xinuo pounced over and tugged at her collar, pulling it down a bit.

"Don’t tell me these are mosquito bites, because I would feel you’re trampling on my IQ."

Ye Jiuliang looked down and saw, at the clavicle, a constellation of red marks, evidence of someone’s mischief.

Had she not reminded her, she might have almost forgotten about it.

Ye Jiuliang adjusted her collar and cleared her throat lightly, "He was just playing around."

"Playing around?" Gu Xinuo said with a playful laugh, "Don’t tell me the next time we meet, I could be called a godmother?"

Ye Jiuliang, "You’re overthinking it."

"No worries, after all, the one at a disadvantage isn’t you, it’s Li Mochan." Gu Xinuo continued jokingly.

Ye Jiuliang laughed with exasperation, "Go away, what do you mean he’s at a disadvantage, whose side are you on?"

"Isn’t it true?" Gu Xinuo said, "You’re the one who charmed him, isn’t he the one at a loss?"

"Gu Xinuo, you can go back to your room now." Your friend is offline and has blocked you.

"Wait, wait, let’s talk business. When do you plan to reveal your identity to Li Mochan?"

If someone with ulterior motives takes advantage of this, it wouldn’t be good. After all, Organization K and the Dark Hall are on equal footing, and the last incident at the bar nearly exploited a loophole to stir up conflict between the two parties. It’s inevitable that such events could recur.

Ye Jiuliang spoke languidly, "I won’t reveal it, I’ll wait for him to find out himself."

Gu Xinuo asked, "Are you sure? What if he misunderstands that you approached him deliberately? You don’t want to end up fighting over this, do you?"

"It won’t happen." Ye Jiuliang revealed a confident expression, "If he could doubt me, I wouldn’t have agreed to be with him from the start."

Having known her for so long, this was the first time Gu Xinuo saw such a smile on Ye Jiuliang’s face.

It was warm, as if steeped in honey, sweet through and through.

"Ajiu, do you really like Li Mochan?"

"I do." Ye Jiuliang candidly admitted, "Otherwise, why would I fight to get him back?"

"What’s good about him that makes you like him so much?" Gu Xinuo was slightly curious.

Others might not understand Jiuliang, but the three of them did. She really thought Li Mochan was amazing to have captured Ajiu’s heart in such a short time.

"He’s childish, and quite bad." Ye Jiuliang said with a smile playing on her lips.

Gu Xinuo, "..."

Are those supposed to be compliments?

Is she sure she’s not dissing Li Mochan?

"Are you any worse?" she teased.

Ye Jiuliang gave her a glare, "Tell me, did Li Mochan give you a red envelope in advance?"

Speaking so favorably of him.

"I wish he did. By the way, when are you going to give me a red envelope?" Gu Xinuo reached out her hand asking for a red envelope.

Ye Jiuliang slapped her palm lightly, "I’m broke."

"You’re broke, but your Li Mochan is rich." Gu Xinuo huffed, "Don’t tell me you’ve started to save money for your man so soon?"

Ye Jiuliang couldn’t help but chuckle, "You’ll get yours, money-grubber."

As they spoke, the mobile phone on the bedside table suddenly rang.

It was the notification sound from WeChat.

Gu Xinuo was closer, so she reached out and grabbed it for her.

Seeing the WeChat note, they burst into laughter like the honk of a goose.

"Ajiu, do you guys have to be so cheesy? When did you get a marriage certificate with Li Mohan behind my back?"

Kiss kiss, hubby?

Ye Jiuliang’s lips twitched slightly. Damn, she forgot to change the WeChat note.

That bastard Li Mohan.

She reached out to take back her phone, but Gu Xinuo had already pressed accept to the video call.

In the next moment, the man’s overly refined face invaded the video.

"Hey, Anuo, don’t talk nonsense, give me back my phone now," Ye Jiuliang hurriedly tried to snatch back her phone.

"Hey, Ajiu’s man, Ajiu just said you’re childish and nasty."

I...

Ye Jiuliang’s eye muscles twitched.

This guy must be here to set her up, right?

On the video end, Li Mohan only heard the voice, not seeing anyone, with his thin lips pressed tightly.

"What else did she say about me?"

Not expecting Li Mohan to play along, Gu Xinuo suddenly perked up, "She said she likes you, likes you super duper much, and that she’ll have your monkeys when she gets back."

"Gu Xinuo, you’re dead meat," Ye Jiuliang lunged over, and Gu Xinuo hastily threw the phone back to her, dashing out the door as if running for his life.

Oh my god, Ajiu is going to eat someone alive.

"Bang—"

The sound of the door slamming reverberated through the hallway.

Ye Jiuliang picked up the phone, and the man’s low, deep laughter came from the phone.

"Wolfie, turns out you can’t wait to marry me, huh?"

"She had too much to drink tonight and was talking nonsense," Ye Jiuliang secured her phone, noticing the background behind him; he was in a car.

"Are you going to Beisen?"

Li Mohan said, "On a business trip."

"Abroad?" she asked.

Li Mohan hummed in affirmation, "Did you drink tonight?"

"Just a little bit," Ye Jiuliang said with a smile.

Li Mohan couldn’t help but caution her again, "Don’t drink too much."

"Got it, got it," Ye Jiuliang grinned, looking at the vast bed, suddenly missing the person in the video.

Habit really is a scary thing.

"Li Mohan, I miss you," the smile at her lips slowly faded, her voice muffled.

Video calling late at night is practically seduction.

Li Mohan’s thin lips curved slightly, his gaze soft as he looked at the stunning little face of the woman in the video, "How much do you miss me?"

Not easy, Wolfie is finally tamed.

"I want you to come and warm my bed," she said bluntly, not without a teasing tone.

The partition in the middle of the car hadn’t been raised, and Wei Bei, who was driving in front, heard Ye Jiuliang’s words; he jerked his hand and nearly collided with the guardrail next to him.

He’s still a baby, can’t they stop torturing single people?

It’s too provocative.

Wei Bei lifted his head, and just met Li Mohan’s deadly stare from the back seat, hastily raising the partition with proper understanding.

Li Mohan withdrew his gaze, looked down at the video, and noticed her half-dried hair, frowning slightly, "Why didn’t you dry your hair?"

"I’ll do it later, I can’t sleep now anyway." Ye Jiuliang rolled around, her voice inadvertently softening, "Li Mohan, could you read me a story?" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Her sticky voice struck right at Li Mohan’s heart, the smile in his eyes growing more intoxicating, "I don’t have a storybook with me."

"Then can you sing me a lullaby?" Ye Jiuliang said, elongating her words.

A lullaby?

Li Mohan’s eyes showed confusion, what was the song again?
