Chapter 123. The cabbage that was arched by Ye Jiuliang (Nine more updates)

"You, stop talking nonsense." Ye Jiuliang evaded his gaze in a fluster, finally regaining her own voice.

"Li Mochan, even self-love should have its limits."

"If you didn’t like me, why would you let me kiss you and hold you?" Li Mochan leaned in close to her ear, his cool magnetic voice rising slightly.

"Would you have agreed if it were someone else?"

Ye Jiuliang was at a loss for words, "I..."

"I won’t force you, and don’t be mad, okay?" He pinched her cheek gently, coaxing her in a soothing tone.

Ye Jiuliang gave him a sidelong glance, speechless, "..."

It seemed she was the one who ended up being confused for no reason.

This guy truly was her nemesis.

"So, are you going to kiss me back?" Saying this, he leaned in even closer.

Ye Jiuliang put out her hand to stop him, and said grudgingly, "Forget it, I won’t hold it against you."

"What do you want to eat? I’ll make it for you." Li Mochan’s thin lips curved into a slight smile as he reached over to fasten her seatbelt for her.

Ye Jiuliang glanced at him askance and asked petulantly, "Your stomach doesn’t hurt anymore?"

Hearing this, a smile nearly spilled from Li Mochan’s eyes.

He grabbed her hand, his thin lips curving upwards, "If you warm it for me, it won’t hurt anymore."

"Who spoils you." Ye Jiuliang huffed and withdrew her hand.

"You deserve the pain."

Li Mochan started the car, and the cool sports car zoomed off into the night.

In the end, they didn’t return to Mo Garden. The car stopped in the garage of Jinxiu Linting.

As soon as Ye Jiuliang entered the house, she kicked off her shoes and wandered around barefoot.

When she came downstairs with the medicine, the person sitting on the sofa had his eyes closed, and she didn’t know if he was asleep.

Sensing someone standing behind him, Li Mochan opened his eyes, and the depths of his pitch-black pupils were inscrutable.

He turned his head, and the girl’s delicate face came into view, his icy gaze instantly softening.

"Here, take the pill." Ye Jiuliang poured a glass of water and held it out with the pill to him.

Li Mochan took it, his gaze still fixed on her.

Feeling the unmistakeable intensity of his stare, Ye Jiuliang fidgeted, "After you take the pill, hurry up and leave, and remember to lock the door tight behind you."

After speaking, she turned and headed upstairs.

Suddenly, he was the only one left in the living room.

Li Mochan set down the glass and looked around the living room’s décor.

Everything seemed brand new, and not a single photo was visible in any corner—there was no trace of Ji Mingqian having lived there.

"Buzz buzz—"

The phone that had been left on the table suddenly started to ring, pulling Li Mochan’s thoughts back.

He looked down and frowned at the caller ID.

Anuo?

He picked up the phone and answered without speaking, but the person on the other end spoke first, "Little Liangliang, I just got back and saw all those scandals about you and Li Mochan. What’s going on, did you really give away his cabbage?"

Hearing a woman’s voice, Li Mochan’s cold brows relaxed.

"Little Liangliang, why aren’t you saying anything? You’re killing me here." Gu Xinuo urged from the phone, receiving no immediate response.

"I’m not Ye Jiuliang."

The icy voice suddenly cut in, startling Gu Xinuo and giving her an ominous feeling.

"Who are you?" Why was Ajiu’s phone in someone else’s hands?

Especially a man’s.

Li Mochan’s deep eyes narrowed slightly, speaking unhurriedly, "The cabbage that Ye Jiuliang supposedly stole, in your words."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xinuo’s heart clenched.

Cabbage?

Li Mochan?

Damn, what the heck.

She instinctively hung up the phone and went to cool off by herself.

Watching the silent phone, Li Mochan’s lips revealed a faint smile.

Upstairs, unaware of Gu Xinuo’s call, Ye Jiuliang took a shower and came out, realized her phone was missing, and got up to go downstairs to look for it.
