All four gazes turned towards him, and Ji Mingqian felt the pressure mounting.

Especially Chu Chen’s fierce gaze seemed about to split him in two.

Ji Mingqian swallowed, smiling obsequiously, "I was just trying to ease the atmosphere, so you guys wouldn’t be so serious."

Chu Chen snorted coldly, "I’ll settle the score with you later."

Ji Mingqian grimaced, looking even more bitter than a bitter melon.

That damn Ajiu had set him up again.

"Ajiu, what do you think about the Mo Family?" Gu Xinuo brought up another matter, "Is Mo Chen still staying at Mo Garden?"

Ye Jiuliang ate the fish Li Mochan had served her, "He went back to Country F today."

"Why did he suddenly go back?"

"The big exam at Beisen ended, and they have a week off."

"I see."

"Mo Su went back with him as well, it seems there is something going on with the Mo Family, which is why the two of them went back together." Ji Mingqian straightened his face, with the frivolous smile receding slightly.

Ye Jiuliang frowned, contemplating something thoughtfully.

After dinner, Gu Xinuo dragged Ye Jiuliang away.

Opening the window for ventilation, Ye Jiuliang tapped on the tabletop.

"Wow, look at all the dust in this room. How do you feel about moving to a different room?"

Hearing the teasing in her words, Gu Xinuo glanced at her, "Six of one, half a dozen of the other, let’s not laugh at each other, okay?"

"Hahaha." Ye Jiuliang burst into laughter.

"Speaking of which, the other night I sent you a video call, why did you always hang up in such a hurry?" Gu Xinuo almost forgot about this incident, her smile conveying a deeper meaning.

Ye Jiuliang, sitting with legs crossed, replied nonchalantly, "Busy making babies."

"Pff..."

Gu Xinuo spat out the water she had just drunk, a bizarre expression crossing her face.

Making babies?

"Ye Jiuliang, can you be a little more subtle in your speech?"

Seeing her unsteady demeanor, Ye Jiuliang curved her lips, "We’re married, making babies is perfectly legal."

Gu Xinuo was torn between laughter and tears, but did it really need to be said so bluntly?

"Weren’t you always fond of freedom? Aren’t you afraid of being tied down so quickly by having a baby?"

She remembered Ye Jiuliang’s previously sworn bold declarations about not wanting a man or a baby.

"What’s the big deal about having a baby? Worst comes to worst, I’ll just travel the world with the baby," Ye Jiuliang said with a beaming smile, "Li Mochan and I will ride a big motorcycle, and let the kid follow us on a little one."

"..."

What a badass idea.

"Stop talking about me, what about you? Why haven’t you and Achen gotten your marriage certificate?" Ye Jiuliang changed the subject.

"I heard from Aqian that Achen has been talking about it a lot."

Gu Xinuo smiled lightly, "Let’s wait until this matter is over."

Understanding her intentions, Ye Jiuliang smiled understandingly.

She glanced up at the wall clock, her eyes shifting, "It’s still early, are you interested in going out for a ride?"

The two exchanged a look, and Gu Xinuo instantly understood, "Are we going for a ride or to see what’s happening?"

Ye Jiuliang tugged at her lip, "What do you think?"

Gu Xinuo lifted her head with a smile, "What are we waiting for, then?"

"I left my things in the pharmacy, hurry up." Ye Jiuliang stood up, pulling her out of the room.

Downstairs, oblivious to the fact that his wife was about to run off, in the dining room, the three men were still drinking.

"Li Mochan, I have a question for you," Ji Mingqian set down his wine glass, suddenly speaking out.

His abrupt initiation of conversation left Li Mochan slightly puzzled, his dark eyes quietly turning towards him, "Hmm?"

"Did Jiang Yisheng used to have a girlfriend who is no longer in this world?"

Hearing this, Li Mochan put his wine glass down again, his gaze turning dark as he looked at Ji Mingqian, with a hint of eeriness.
