the old man might end up eating humble pie here all day today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Tie Shan left, the elder Mr. Li hurried to catch up with Ye Jiuliang’s pace, walking ahead of her to enter the dining room first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang shook her head helplessly, childish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dining table was set with four dishes and a soup, complete with colors, fragrances, and flavors, including Ye Jiuliang’s favorite fried chicken drumsticks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder Mr. Li was not shy either, he directly pulled out a chair and sat down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the steaming dishes on the table, his face, usually stern, revealed a hint of a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This darn kid’s cooking skills are indeed not bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, his stomach inappropriately growled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang turned her eyes to the elder Mr. Li, meeting the teasing smile in his gaze, which annoyed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it wrong for an old man to get hungry?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang nodded, \"I haven’t said anything, what are you rushing for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder Mr. Li, \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mochan pulled out a chair, sitting next to Ye Jiuliang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up the chopsticks to snag a chicken drumstick for Ye Jiuliang and placed it in her bowl, \"It’s a bit hot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang’s eyes curved as she nodded, the chicken drumstick too large to eat conveniently with chopsticks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She simply put down the chopsticks and picked up the drumstick with her hand, nibbling on it daintily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was crispy and juicy, making her unable to stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder Mr. Li watched her eating the drumstick, his eyes barely hiding his disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such unladylike eating, so embarrassing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing that the elder Mr. Li was watching her continuously, Ye Jiuliang turned her head, swallowed the meat in her mouth, and then spoke, \"If you want to eat a drumstick, there are still some on the plate.\" So he should stop staring at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t want to eat it,\" the elder Mr. Li snorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s so good about chicken drumsticks?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang didn’t argue with him, as long as she found it delicious that was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing one large drumstick, Ye Jiuliang proceeded to attack the second one, her enjoyable eating prompting the elder Mr. Li to look over repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is a fried chicken drumstick worth eating like it’s a delicacy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Ye Jiuliang finished the second drumstick, the elder Mr. Li’s chopsticks finally reached towards that plate of fried chicken drumsticks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words he had just mocked instantly smacked him in the face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang’s lips curved slightly, watching him with interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the drumstick in his bowl, the elder Mr. Li felt a bit lost on how to begin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had just picked it up when the drumstick dropped back into the bowl with a \"plop,\" completely uncooperative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Ye Jiuliang had already taken the third drumstick, passing it to Li Mochan’s lips, teasing him with a wink, \"Want to have a bite?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mochan smiled knowingly and took a bite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang hooked her lips, glancing from the corner of her eye at the elder Mr. Li’s hesitantly moving hand, his conflicted expression somewhat amusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fried chicken drumsticks are indeed best eaten hot,\" Ye Jiuliang murmured to herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder Mr. Li gave her a covert glance, a flicker of indecision in the depths of his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, he put down his chopsticks and couldn’t resist picking up a drumstick with his hand, taking a bite right then and there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang thought the old man might be too proud to lower his face, but it turned out he couldn’t resist the temptation of the drumstick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tilted her head slightly, a grin forming at the angle hidden from the old man’s view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder Mr. Li might be old, but he had a good set of teeth; he gnawed at the drumstick as ferociously as Ye Jiuliang without losing pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He finished a drumstick in one go, without even pausing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing one, he reached for a second drumstick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could grab it, Li Mochan took away the plate with the drumsticks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You scoundrel, what are you doing?\" the elder Mr. Li immediately got angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mochan spoke indifferently, \"The elderly shouldn’t eat too much fried food.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the old Mr. Li opened his mouth but couldn’t find a reason to refute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked longingly at the last fried chicken leg on the plate, wishing he could just snatch it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After washing her hands, Ye Jiuliang came back and saw Old Mr. Li absent-mindedly eating, with his gaze fixed on the chicken leg. She pursed her lips and chuckled, saying softly, \"Actually, eating a little more occasionally doesn’t do any harm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly.\" With someone backing him up, Old Mr. Li instantly perked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing it was Ye Jiuliang who had spoken for him, he awkwardly turned his head away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, Li Mochan placed the plate with the chicken leg in front of him and withdrew his hand at a leisurely pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Mr. Li looked down at the golden fried chicken leg on the plate and became even more demanding, \"It would be even better with a glass of wine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No,\" Li Mochan said, \"cruelly\" crushing his wish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Mr. Li humphed in dissatisfaction, but didn’t forget to pick up the chicken leg and gnaw on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A filial son he is not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now he had clearly seen plenty of wine in the cabinet outside, and yet he denied having any—the stinginess of it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was rare for him to eat so much in one meal; following Ye Jiuliang, Old Mr. Li was the second to overeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accustomed to a nap after lunch, Old Mr. Li sat on the sofa and soon began to feel drowsy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mochan escorted him to the guest room to rest, then went upstairs to find his little wolf cub.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the bedroom, Ye Jiuliang was feeling stuffed from the chicken leg. Even after taking some digestives, her stomach still hurt, and she whined as she leaned on the soft couch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door wasn’t closed when Li Mochan strode in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang instinctively made room for him, and Li Mochan sat down beside her, drawing her into his arms and massaging her overstuffed belly with his large hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s see if you’ll still dare to overindulge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang burrowed into his embrace, her voice muffled, \"It hurts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mochan chuckled, \"How about a walk outside?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you free today?\" Ye Jiuliang lifted her head from his embrace, \"Does the old man know about your acquisition of Li Group?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mochan brushed aside the hair by her ear, casually saying, \"He should find out very soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang couldn’t help but grin, \"Will the old man skin you alive when he finds out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Group was one of Old Mr. Li’s life’s work, and he would probably be furious to learn it had been acquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gently pinching her cheek with his fingertips, he said, \"Quite possible, which is why the esteemed wife will have to protect me well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who’s your wife, don’t call me that so randomly,\" Ye Jiuliang grimaced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the least, one should call their husband.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mochan suddenly remembered something when the conversation turned to this subject, lowering his head to nuzzle her nose, \"Where’s your household registration book?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His husky voice set her ears tingling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang smiled provocatively, feigning ignorance, \"What do you need my household registration book for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her household registration book was with Old Mr. Ye, and it would be somewhat difficult to sneak it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s going to snow in the capital soon. How about we get our marriage certificate on the first snow?\" Li Mochan said with a heavy gaze, gently coaxing her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amused, Ye Jiuliang asked, \"Why do you like that piece of paper so much? Don’t many people say that marriage is the graveyard of love?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just like lying in the graveyard with you,\" Li Mochan replied without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang, \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did that statement sound so ambiguous to her? It was so awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What does it mean to like lying in a graveyard, especially with her included?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was an absurdly heavy taste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you agree?\" Li Mochan pressed on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking into his deep, dark eyes, where radiant brilliance was encapsulated, more splendid than a vast expanse of milky way, Ye Jiuliang curled her lips and said, \"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he was so eager to get the certificate, there was nothing for her to hesitate about; getting married was a matter of sooner or later for them.\u003C\u002Fp>",1442,"2026-05-30T05:18:55.761Z","2026-06-01T04:30:24.264Z",1,"novelbin.me","05938964ba8b04ac262103c0e02b590877beb8450fb55aa3c2308277cda8dbcb","the-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-chapter-359","the-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-chapter-357",877,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-cover.jpg"]
