The man’s long legs stretched awkwardly, half-dangling onto the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Closing the door behind her, she tossed her backpack carelessly and walked over to gently kick his leg with her foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wake up, stop sleeping.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man frowned slightly, squinting at the person disturbing his peaceful sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ye Jiuliang, can’t you be a bit nicer? I only got here at three in the morning, and I haven’t rested these past few days. You woke me up just when I was getting some sleep,\" the man said, his deep voice a bit hoarse from just waking up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t you have to return to the set?\" Ye Jiuliang sat down opposite him, \"Hurry up, I bought breakfast, are you eating or not?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Mingqian slowly sat up, his head feeling somewhat groggy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll go back later, the plane’s at 9:30\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When do you wrap up shooting?\" Ye Jiuliang, having a rare moment of conscience, poured a cup of warm water and handed it to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next month, I guess.\" He took the cup, paused, and then spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No clues about those men in black have been found yet; you need to be more careful. Those guys must have quite the background, they’re well hidden. Even the K organization and Dark Hall combined couldn’t catch a trace of them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang hummed in acknowledgment, \"Has Achen gone back to headquarters?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He took a midnight flight back last night, to coax someone. I guess it won’t be easy this time,\" Ji Mingqian said with a gloating smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang shot him a glance, \"I really should capture that expression of yours and show it to Achen, let him haul you back to headquarters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It takes one to know one,\" Ji Mingqian snorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why didn’t you go find your Li Mochan? What are you doing here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang rolled her eyes, \"Eat your breakfast, it’s almost nine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>**\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Disguised, Ji Mingqian arrived at the airport by himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd surged around him as he found a corner to sit and browse his phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a pair of white casual shoes came into his view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up, a flicker of surprise crossing the depths of his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person before him was dressed in plain casual wear, a face so ordinary that it would drown in a crowd, but those glassy, green eyes were bewitchingly clear, unforgettable at a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jiang Yisheng?\" he asked in a low voice, testing the waters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was that a human skin mask he was wearing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he finished speaking, the person across from him cracked a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s rare that you recognize me,\" the familiar, gentle voice responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you here?\" Ji Mingqian put away his phone and asked casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just got off the plane; work in S city is finished. Are you heading back to the crew?\" Jiang Yisheng replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Mingqian nodded, glancing at his wristwatch. It was about time to board the plane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rose to his feet, \"Time’s up, I have to go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yisheng waved him off, \"See you later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Garden\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t want to play anymore, I always lose,\" Ye Jiuliang complained as she threw down the game controller and flopped onto the carpet, wearing a sulky face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was maddening; she was actually a King player pretending to be Bronze, it was totally unfair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mochan let out a hoarse chuckle, reached out to pull the person beside him into his embrace, and poked her rosy cheeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Trying to act sore because you lost?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who’s acting sore? This game isn’t fun at all. I’d rather play Fight the Landlord,\" Ye Jiuliang leaned against him, playing with his collar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The neat shirt, under her torment, started to crease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about you accompany me for a motorcycle ride?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Planning on getting grounded by the Ye family, hm?\" Li Mochan looked down, his fingertips lightly pinching her chin, \"Want to see a surprise?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it?\" her curiosity piqued, she asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s upstairs, let’s go.\" Li Mochan scooped her up around the waist, and Ye Jiuliang leaned comfortably against him, swinging her bare feet in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon reaching the first room after turning the corner on the second floor, Ye Jiuliang was stunned as soon as he entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spacious room was well-lit, with rows of glass cabinets neatly arranged, displaying various limited edition motorcycle models.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With just one glance, Ye Jiuliang was captivated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Like it?\" A deep, mellow voice, accompanied by a lazy tone, sounded in his ears, pulling back Ye Jiuliang’s thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked up at him, her lips blossoming into a bright smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When did you prepare all of these?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I bought them in A City, do you like them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li Mochan, why are you so nice.\" Ye Jiuliang wrapped her arms around his neck, shaking him, her smile as beautiful as flowers, mesmerizing his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why do I feel that you’re happier to see motorcycles than when you see me?\" Li Mochan curved his lips, teasingly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s definitely an illusion.\" When Master Jiu got sweet-talking, he was definitely sweeter than honey by quite a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m happiest to see you, don’t you feel that, hm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mochan arched an eyebrow, \"Really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang chuckled softly, leaning up to kiss his crimson lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just once, but several times in a row.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now can you believe what I’m saying is true?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sternness in his eyes was soaked with mirth, and he returned her kiss in kind, \"Barely passable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Downstairs, Jiang Yisheng looked at the snacks on the table and the paused game on the TV screen, was momentarily stunned, then revealed a thoughtful smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed his timing in coming back was quite perfect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not in a hurry to go upstairs, he settled himself on the sofa and began nibbling on some snacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time quietly slipped by, and suddenly there was a commotion coming from upstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li Mochan, that’s not fair, I won’t.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about I let you win once in the game later?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, stop trying to trick me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yisheng turned his head towards the noise as he saw the two of them running down the stairs, one after the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His lips twitched slightly, since when had his cousin become so childish?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang noticed someone in the living room and immediately stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jiuliang,\" Jiang Yisheng said with a gentle smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was very calm about Ye Jiuliang’s presence in Mo Garden, because the appearance of snacks and game discs could only be attributed to one exception: Ye Jiuliang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Call her sister-in-law.\" Li Mochan took Ye Jiuliang’s hand, his dark eyes sweeping towards Jiang Yisheng, the smile on his face completely vanishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yisheng, \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of him, was such double-standard really okay?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t listen to him, he’s still half asleep.\" Ye Jiuliang glanced sideways at Li Mochan, then turned to Jiang Yisheng, offering a faint smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No schedules lately?\" Li Mochan, pulling Ye Jiuliang to sit down, inquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yisheng peculiarly sensed that he was being urged to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it his imagination?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I’m resting recently.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is there something uncomfortable with your body?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that, Jiang Yisheng was slightly touched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed his cousin still had some human warmth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mochan pursed his lips, \"Then why suddenly take a rest?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yisheng’s tears almost burst inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t it just because he was afraid of being a third wheel?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Life was too hard for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grandma, my cousin is too bullying.\u003C\u002Fp>",1313,"2026-05-30T05:18:55.761Z","2026-06-01T04:30:24.264Z",1,"novelbin.me","75fe9a1ced1cc7b24a5b6625e44164423ca864966a019f8ae3e2479df2df68a6","the-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-chapter-165","the-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-chapter-163",877,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-cover.jpg"]
