Chapter 153. Master Jiu: My one and only (Part 4)

His cub, no one has the right to growl at him.

Ji Mingqian’s mouth twitched slightly, "..."

Was that him growling just now?

Could Li Mochan please understand that this is his cabbage?

He made him feel like an outsider.

Ye Jiuliang couldn’t help but chuckle, immediately drawing Ji Mingqian’s angry glare.

"Ye Jiuliang, whose side are you on?"

"Can you be nicer to the patient?" Ye Jiuliang stopped laughing, "Let’s sit down and talk things out properly."

Ji Mingqian pulled over a chair to sit down, his sharp eyes occasionally drifting to the hand that was resting on Ye Jiuliang’s waist, "Ajiu, aren’t you going to explain?"

Knowing what he meant, Ye Jiuliang curved her lips, "It’s exactly what you saw."

"What do you mean ’it’s what I saw’." Ji Mingqian said in exasperation, feeling like he could faint from anger at any moment.

"What is Li Mochan to you?" he asked bluntly.

Sensing the gaze from above her head, Ye Jiuliang held Li Mochan’s hand and straightened her face.

"My one and only."

Upon these words, some were delighted, others were gloomy.

Li Mochan’s gaze softened as he looked at the person in his arms, his lips curved into an indulgent smile.

These few words were the most beautiful he had ever heard.

Ji Mingqian’s teeth ached.

Was this the Ye Jiuliang he knew?

Or could it be a fake?

"I’m hungry," Ye Jiuliang tugged on Li Mochan’s sleeve, her eyes smiling as she spoke.

Knowing she had something to talk about with Ji Mingqian, Li Mochan rubbed her head and said gently, "I’ll go buy you something. Don’t move around; you still have a wound on your arm."

Ye Jiuliang nodded, watching him leave.

"Stop looking, he’s gone." As soon as the door closed, Ji Mingqian complained sourly.

Ye Jiuliang drew her gaze back, turning to look at him, "Do you have to be like this?"

"Of course, I have to. Someone’s plucking our family’s cabbage, and I should fire off fireworks to celebrate while you favor outsiders?" Ji Mingqian huffed, his voice rising.

"Tell me, what’s so good about Li Mochan that he bought you over so quickly? Are you missing a screw or what?"

Ye Jiuliang listened quietly to his rant before she spoke, "He is quite good in all aspects."

Ji Mingqian clenched his teeth, "You..."

"Look, I’ll snatch Li Mochan back, and that way we’ll be one family with the Dark Hall. Isn’t that a good deal?" Seeing his frustration, Ye Jiuliang said, holding back her laughter.

Ji Mingqian glared at her, "I don’t believe you at all."

"Let’s talk about that later. First, let’s discuss what happened last night." Ye Jiuliang brought the conversation back to the main topic, her expression growing serious.

Ji Mingqian briefly described what happened at the bar, frowning, "What do you make of it?"

"When I received the note and rushed to the bar, I discovered snipers ambushing from the building across the street. All those in black were mute, making it clear that the person behind them is very cautious and careful," Ye Jiuliang said.

"Later, when I got a call that Baona was captured, I rushed back to the resort. From the words of those in black, I could feel their ultimate goal was directed at me."

"Have you offended anyone in the capital recently?" Ji Mingqian asked.

Ye Jiuliang shook her head, then continued to analyze, "Those I offended in the capital wouldn’t pull such a big stunt, and they even chose the time when Achen and Li Mochan met to make their move. Nobody knew about my trip to City A; those people in black had such a detailed plan, clearly, they knew in advance I would be here."
