Chapter 54 - 054, Feeling Sorry for Li Mochan (Third More)

He immediately thought of what Ji Mingqian said that day, and his voice deepened a few degrees, "Ji Mingqian?"

"Ji Mingqian?" Ye Jiuliang looked puzzled, "Who told you he is my boyfriend?"

"Jiangyue Restaurant," he reminded her.

Ye Jiuliang thought hard for a moment, then suddenly realized, and laughed out loud, "He was just talking nonsense, and you believed him."

"Then who is your boyfriend?" he pressed, seizing the opportunity to ask.

She grinned, "A motorcycle."

At her words, Li Mochan’s face instantly brightened.

"Li Mochan, why are you so curious?" Ye Jiuliang eyed him with a strange look, given his icy nature, he didn’t seem like someone who would gossip.

Li Mochan kept a composed expression and, answering a question with another question, said, "You’re young, focus on your studies, there’s no rush for things like falling in love."

Listening to his serious preaching, the corners of Ye Jiuliang’s lips quivered slightly, his tone sounding much like how the old man usually nagged her.

"Stop, I’m hanging up the video call."

"Wait a second." His deep voice, tinged with barely noticeable warmth, reached her ear, somewhat burning, "How about visiting City A for a couple of days?" It was probably better to keep the little wolf cub close.

Ye Jiuliang paused as she stood up, her moist eyes blinking, she teased, "Are you offering to be my tour guide?"

She seemed never to have been to City A before, wondering whether there was anything tasty to eat.

He whispered enticingly, "Will you come?"

"Aren’t you busy with your business trip?" Ye Jiuliang asked, amused.

The one who was supposed to be on a business trip was now inviting her to have fun.

"Not busy," he insisted, asking again, "So, are you coming?"

"Nope, what if I fail an exam in a few days, will you take responsibility?" Ye Jiuliang said cheerfully, "How about you bring me some special snacks from City A instead?"

He had little expectation that she would agree to come to City A, so Li Mochan wasn’t too disappointed and he agreed to all her requests.

"Hmm."

After hanging up the video call, Li Mochan caressed his phone, his lips curling into a perfect arc.

Outside the window, the wind and rain were intermingling, but Master Jiu’s mood was as radiant as the sunshine.

After lunch, Ye Jiuliang went straight to the rooftop.

She hadn’t gone to Li Mohan’s office for several days, but she’d found a good place to rest.

The rooftop had a small greenhouse, which contained a hanging chair; curling up there for a rest was quite comfortable.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, Chu Chen called.

"Ajiu, are you free these days?"

"Your laborer here has an exam in a few days, busy reviewing," said the person who claimed to be studying, currently chilling and enjoying an ice cream.

"Heh heh."

Chu Chen couldn’t help but laugh, "Since when does Master Jiu need to take exams?"

"Bullshit," she retorted, the cold ice cream turning her lips red, "Spit it out quick, don’t disturb my nap."

Chu Chen said, "Old Buller is dead, and the Mei Organization’s internal struggle is in its final stage, with many people eyeing that piece of fat meat."

"They fight their own fights, what’s that got to do with us?" Ye Jiuliang said casually.

"Ajiu, have you forgotten about the goods you snatched from Li Mochan?" On the other end, Chu Chen was handling paperwork and reminded her.

Mentioning Li Mochan, Ye Jiuliang’s gaze narrowed slightly, "Hmm?"

"Such a large batch of goods, do you really think Li Mochan would just let it go?" emphasized Chu Chen, "That’s the master of Dark Hall, and only you dare to steal from him."

"..."

Suddenly, the handsome face came to mind, and Ye Jiuliang touched her nose, feeling somewhat guilty.

He had always been quite generous to her, if he knew that she was the one who stole his goods, then...

Ye Jiuliang had a headache.

Had she known, she would have returned those goods earlier, instead of feeling like she owed him now.
