Ye Jiuliang tilted her head to meet the man’s eyes, which held an imperceptible concern, and her lips curved slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, I got scared. Why don’t you comfort me with a few words?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her ability to joke indicated she was fine.

I have a friend overseas who studies medicine; I occasionally join them for gathering herbs. I know a little.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mohan cast his gaze downward but didn’t press her for more details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the driver’s seat, Wei Bei sent a message to Wei Nan, then hurriedly drove off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poisoning was not something that could wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you feel unwell anywhere?\" Ye Jiuliang asked, her warm voice inquiring as she glanced at his cut finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are we heading back to Beisen?\" He responded with a seemingly unrelated question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang, \"???\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy has got to be kidding, missing the point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poisoned and he’s still mulling over that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He must be the one who’s toxic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lifted her head to meet his deep, dark eyes, and the words on her lips suddenly changed, \"Let’s go back, happy now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, she added, \"Thank you for today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though she wouldn’t have been in danger without him, after all, he was poisoned while saving her; it seemed she owed him a favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mohan’s expression relaxed slightly, his lips curving into a small smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang examined the dart closely; it was silver and ordinary, with no symbols or patterns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trying to find any clues from this dart seemed like a long shot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a large hand took the dart from her, and a magnetic voice flowed out, \"It’s dangerous. Don’t touch it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His serious tone made her laugh. Leaning against the car window, Ye Jiuliang looked at him, her smile radiant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Somehow, she found Li Mohan quite charming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before they knew it, the car entered Beisen Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Nan was already waiting at the office door and hurriedly approached as the elevator doors opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mohan grunted in acknowledgment; Wei Nan glanced at the girl following Li Mohan with a flicker of surprise in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could this be Ye Jiuliang, the one Wei Bei mentioned?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group entered the office; Ye Jiuliang made herself comfortable, pulled up a chair, and watched as Wei Nan administered the antidote and applied medicine to Li Mohan’s wound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp dagger emitted a cold gleam as it sliced through Li Mohan’s darkened finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Droplets of dark blood fell onto the immaculate floor, and a barely perceptible strange scent reached Ye Jiuliang, darkening her gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scent of the Poisonous Python Grass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heh, how interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Nan took out a small porcelain bottle and tilted it over Li Mohan’s wound; white powder touched the cut and was instantly absorbed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This hemostatic medicine is quite good,\" Ye Jiuliang commented with a tap of her foot, smilingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Offhandedly, Li Mohan glanced her way, \"You like it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang laughed lightly, \"What, are you offering it to me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To you,\" he said, taking the porcelain bottle from Wei Nan and handing it to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A twitch ran across Wei Nan’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the shadow on his psyche right there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to look at Wei Bei, who shrugged; after what he had seen in the car just now, such behavior from Li Mohan didn’t surprise him anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang, too, was surprised at first, but then she laughed, \"No thanks, I can’t accept Master Li’s possessions. I hate being in someone’s debt more than anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At her words, Li Mohan’s brows furrowed slightly, gripping the porcelain bottle a bit tighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t want it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang chuckled and stood up, pushing up her sleeves, \"I’m not injured. Why would I need it? You should worry about your own wound. I’m leaving now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she was about to leave, Li Mohan almost subconsciously asked, \"Where to now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heading home. My grandfather must be on the verge of a heart attack after hearing that I skipped class. If I don’t get back soon, I’ll probably face family discipline,\" Ye Jiuliang said with an air of nonchalance and a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Bei couldn’t help wanting to laugh, noting that she had some self-awareness.\u003C\u002Fp>",1339,"2026-05-30T05:18:55.480Z","2026-06-01T04:30:24.264Z",1,"novelbin.me","9fd38fe2bbecc22ab51a900caa2a32980827129ff8ec4923a10780a3f9841003","the-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-chapter-21","the-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-chapter-19",877,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-cover.jpg"]
