Chapter 374. As an Apology with Bitter Melon (Second Update)

Jiang Yisheng was startled into confusion and blocked his hand, "What are you doing?"

"Checking if your shoulder is injured down to the bone," Ji Mingqian said indifferently, not understanding his huge reaction.

Realizing he had overreacted, Jiang Yisheng cleared his throat lightly, "No, it didn’t hit the bone."

"Good to hear," Ji Mingqian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mingqian, Asheng, let’s go, we’re off to soak in the hot springs," Feng Yi called out while changing his shoes.

"Let’s go."

Before Jiang Yisheng could react, a large hand suddenly covered his wrist.

Allowing Ji Mingqian to pull him away, Jiang Yisheng lowered his head, the large hand gripping his wrist reflecting in his eyes. His thin lips were tightly pursed.

...

After staying in City C for two or three days, Feng Yi had another business collaboration to discuss there, so he didn’t return with them.

Ji Mingqian didn’t leave with the others either, planning to return to Country Y alone.

All four of them waited together in the departure lounge. Ye Jiuliang wanted a drink, and Li Mochan went to buy it for her.

"The Mo Chen you mentioned, I’ve looked into him. The public records are perfect, but besides some basic personal information, I couldn’t find anything else, including his family’s information," Ji Mingqian said.

The cleaner the record, the more suspicious the person.

Hearing this, Ye Jiuliang frowned. He was a tough nut to crack.

"I spoke with Achen on the phone last night. Things have been a bit unstable in Continent M lately, and it looks like Dark Hall will be facing quite a bit of chaos," Ji Mingqian whispered.

Ye Jiuliang asked, "What’s the situation?"

"Not too clear for now. Achen didn’t go into detail on the phone," Ji Mingqian shook his head.

Continent M. Ye Jiuliang’s gaze sharpened slightly.

"Your man has returned," Ji Mingqian reminded her.

Bypassing her, Ji Mingqian made his way toward Jiang Yisheng.

The black sneakers entered his field of vision, and Jiang Yisheng looked up to meet Ji Mingqian’s smiling eyes.

"Bringing a violin on a trip? Isn’t it heavy?"

Jiang Yisheng smiled wryly, "It’s manageable."

"When you have time, you can come to Country Y. I can be your tour guide." Suddenly recalling something, Ji Mingqian grinned mischievously, "I can teach you how to ride a motorcycle, so you won’t end up hurt again next time."

Jiang Yisheng’s ears turned faintly red. "Last time was just an accident."

"If your skills are poor, just say so. I won’t laugh at you," Ji Mingqian insisted.

"Asheng, it’s time to go," Ye Jiuliang reminded, as it was time to board the plane.

Holding his violin, Jiang Yisheng stood up, "I’ll be going first. See you next time."

Ji Mingqian raised an eyebrow and patted his shoulder.

Taking a few steps away, Jiang Yisheng turned back and tossed something he had been clutching in his palm towards Ji Mingqian.

"Ji Mingqian, this is for you."

Ji Mingqian caught it easily and looked at it. It was a little lion keychain.

Before he could question it, Jiang Yisheng’s voice came from across the way.

"Consider it compensation for the bitter gourd."

Ji Mingqian curved his lips into a smile, his eyes following Jiang Yisheng’s retreating figure, the amusement in his gaze deepening.

At least he had some conscience.

...

By the time they arrived in the capital city, it was already dark.

After exiting the airport, the three of them dined at Jiangyue Restaurant, then returned to Mo Garden.

The wind grew chillier at night.

The whirring sound of the hairdryer abruptly stopped.

Li Mochan put away the hairdryer and turned to see the little wolf cub rolling back and forth on the bed, eliciting a chuckle from him.

"Itching for a scratch?" he teased.

The rolling figure paused, and Ye Jiuliang looked back at him, patting the spot beside her, "Beauty, come and warm the bed for your lord."

Beauty?

The unfathomably deep black eyes narrowed slightly, emitting a dangerous signal.
