We need to find a relatively safe place to stop for now. We can’t set sail for the return journey tonight,\" the crew member said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following these words, a sudden change came over the faces of everyone present. All of them were of considerable worth, and nobody wanted to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially now, out at sea—if they really encountered a typhoon, it wouldn’t be a joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Give the order that safety comes first; there is no need to rush back and risk danger,\" Old Master Cui said, \"Make sure safety is the top priority.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crew member dashed out again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, there’s no need to panic. The workers on the cruise are experts in navigation. It will just be a delayed return; there won’t be any major issues,\" Old Master Cui reassured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, everyone knew that panicking was useless. Even if they were nervous, they could only suppress it to avoid becoming a laughingstock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The private whispers weren’t quiet, and Ye Jiuliang was woken up by them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you cold?\" On the sofa, Li Mochan looked down at the person who had just woken up in his arms, and his eyes and brows were tinged with tenderness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang squinted, the air conditioning inside was a bit cold, and she subconsciously snuggled into his embrace for warmth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mochan picked up his jacket from beside him and leisurely put it on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You give me your jacket; aren’t you cold?\" Ye Jiuliang looked up at him with sleepy eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mochan adjusted her jacket for her, \"Not cold.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without avoiding the presence of others nearby, the two of them openly displayed their affection, eliciting different reactions from the onlookers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far away, the faces of the Ye and Li families were not looking good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Xin stood behind Xiang Zhen, grumbling discontentedly, \"In front of so many people, still so lovey-dovey, it’s truly shameless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ye Xin,\" Xiang Zhen heard her daughter’s uncontainable complaint and quickly scolded her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Ye Jiuliang had the backing of Li Mochan, even the Old Master couldn’t do anything to her, let alone them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Xin sulked and turned to seek comfort from Li Jingjie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister.\" The voice of a young child came, and Li Mochan immediately wanted to throw that clingy creature out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After waking up, Little Tuanzi excitedly wanted to find Ye Jiuliang. Old Master Charles and Bentley, having no choice, had to bring him over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister, hug.\" Bentley staggered to a halt, reaching out his little arms toward Ye Jiuliang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Ye Jiuliang was about to reach out, someone was one step ahead of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An iron arm stretched out, and with one hand, he hoisted Little Tuanzi onto the sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Fatty, sit nicely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t call me Little Fatty, I am a handsome baby,\" Little Tuanzi puffed up angrily, reverting to his mother tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang laughed and collapsed into Li Mochan’s arms; this Little Tuanzi was too funny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look at that belly, you’ve turned into a ball,\" Li Mochan said mercilessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Tuanzi covered his belly, his face turning red, \"You... you... bad brother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Little Tuanzi’s aggrieved little eyes, Ye Jiuliang barely managed to stop laughing and reached out to touch his little face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Be good, don’t mind the bad brother. Sister will give you a lollipop.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took out a lollipop from her pocket and handed it to him, \"Here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister is the best.\" Little Tuanzi took the lollipop and puckered his lips, wanting to kiss Ye Jiuliang on the face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mochan’s eyes darkened, and he reached out to grab Little Tuanzi’s collar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Fatty, no random kissing,\" Li Mochan said. Daring to kiss his little wolf cub, that’s not happening.\u003C\u002Fp>",1315,"2026-05-30T05:18:55.761Z","2026-06-01T04:30:24.264Z",1,"novelbin.me","f983b11742ff0be9e62f763977703e845b59684d615de4a5405ce8ee6b17f351","the-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-chapter-210","the-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-chapter-208",877,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-cover.jpg"]
