at her from the corner of his eye, a dark sparkle of laughter flickering in his inky eyes amidst the dim light. \"Because proximity to red makes you red and proximity to ink makes you black.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Ye Jiuliang’s gaze swept coolly towards him. \"Are you praising me or belittling me with that remark?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Praising you,\" Li Mochan lied shamelessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like she would believe his nonsense, Ye Jiuliang slapped his arm irritably. \"Keep joking around, Li Mochan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gentle force was like a tickling sensation for Li Mochan, who took the opportunity to grab her slightly cool hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang glanced at him indifferently but let him hold on to her hand, pretending it was like holding a warm stove for comfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night air was cool as water, leaves on the ground rustling with the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The streetlights cast an orange glow as the roar of the sports car cut through the night, adding to the noise of the evening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The car window was half open, the scenery outside swiftly retreating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Ye Jiuliang’s gaze was drawn to a figure not far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opposite the entrance to Mo Garden, a young man was huddled under a tree, his deer-like eyes staring intently at Mo Garden, flickering occasionally with hopeful light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did this guy find his way here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang raised an eyebrow, \"Mohan, stop the car.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mochan had also noticed the figure under the tree, recognized the baby-faced look, and a hint of displeasure crossed his brow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned off the ignition and parked the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figure crouching under the tree suddenly charged over like a wild horse freed from its reins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang opened the door and got out of the car, the young man standing motionless in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister,\" Mo Chen’s voice was warm and slightly raised, as if coaxing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meeting his bright eyes, Ye Jiuliang’s lips twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you doing here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He answered swiftly, \"Looking for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is for you.\" Holding up a large bag in front of him, Mo Chen smiled brightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A door slamming interrupted them, and when Mo Chen glimpsed the person getting out from the other side of the car, his smile froze for a few seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mochan walked around the car to Ye Jiuliang’s side and extended his hand to embrace her into his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His cold, deep gaze swept over Mo Chen, and finally, the familiar three words hit Mo Chen like a bucket of cold water, \"Stand further back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m already more than a meter away.\" Intimidated by Li Mochan deep down, Mo Chen protested quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, his stomach inappropriately rumbled with a strange noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gurgle...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Chen held the bag in one hand and his stomach with the other, the burning heat spreading to his cheeks and earlobes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his reddened ears, Ye Jiuliang nearly burst out laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haven’t you had dinner?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Chen hung his head low, murmuring a faint assent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had gone back to get the present for her after leaving Beisen and then had been waiting here ever since.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gift, here.\" He lifted the bag up to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang didn’t reach out to take it, just glanced at the bag and said, \"We’re not close, why are you giving me a gift?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the words \"not close,\" Mo Chen finally looked up, his gaze defiantly meeting hers as he emphasized, \"You are my sister.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his serious expression, Ye Jiuliang couldn’t help but find it amusing. \"My mom only gave birth to me. Where did a little brother come from, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Chen was at a loss for words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, he sheepishly looked away and mumbled, \"Anyway, you are my sister.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough, go home and dream on. I won’t accept the gift, just go back,\" Ye Jiuliang said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And don’t loiter around me in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After she had finished speaking, she turned around and sat in the car. Li Mochan closed the car door and walked around to the other side to get in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of the car engine started up again, and Mo Chen, with his brows lowered, clenched the bag in his hand tighter and tighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The car drove into Mo Garden, and the gate closed behind them once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once winter arrived, the weather in the capital changed faster than a person could change their face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Ye Jiuliang had taken a shower, she came out and saw that light rain had started to fall outside the window, to her surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mochan followed her out and noticed she was standing still, so he reached out and tousled her wet, uncombed hair, making it even messier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you spacing out for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang, in her slippers, walked over to the French windows. \"It’s started to rain outside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mochan followed behind her. What he was really hoping for was an eager snowfall; as for the rain, it had nothing to do with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The French windows weren’t closed. Ye Jiuliang walked straight out into the hazy curtain of rain. The warm light from the street lamps barely illuminated the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come back inside quickly. The wind is strong. Be careful not to catch a cold,\" Li Mochan urged her with a gentle voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang withdrew her gaze. In the dim light, the figure standing in the rainy night appeared frail and forlorn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still hasn’t left?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is that guy really missing a screw?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang frowned and turned back into the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She closed the French windows, and the warm air of the bedroom enveloped her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mo, he hasn’t left yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mochan’s large hand, which was shaking out the blankets, paused. He set down the blanket and looked back at her. His voice was cold and deep, \"The guy at the door?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang nodded helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Want to go down and have a look?\" Li Mochan walked over and took her into his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang hesitated, burying herself in his chest without speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while, she lifted her head to look into the man’s eyes, deep as a cold pool, \"Is there any instant noodles left in the kitchen?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mochan curved his lips and gently rubbed her nose with his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rain was getting heavier, with no sign of stopping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Chen hugged the bag tightly, his whole body drenched, and he gazed at the sealed gate with a dim look in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the heavy gates rolled open automatically with a creaking sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Chen’s eyes brightened for a moment, but in the next second, when he saw the person walking through the curtain of rain, the hope that had been ignited in his eyes dimmed once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t his sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard handed him an umbrella. \"The lady has asked you to come in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Chen was stunned. The surprise came so quickly he could hardly believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The lady you’re talking about is Ye Jiuliang?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard nodded. Mo Chen ran in excitedly, not even keeping hold of the umbrella.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the intensity of the light, Mo Chen dashed through the rain and finally managed to find the location of the living room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He burst into the living room, unexpectedly meeting two lines of sight. Mo Chen stopped in his tracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding the bag, he felt somewhat uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a clean towel was draped over his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Chen reached up to tug at the towel and blinked, his lips, having lost their color from the cold, parted into a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Jiuliang found the foolish smile on his face to be a bit too much to handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She kept a straight face, expressionless, \"What are you laughing at? Don’t you know to go home when it rains? Standing outside getting drenched, are you seeking misery?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shivering intensely, Mo Chen’s lips quivered, and his voice trembled slightly at the end, \"Gift.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the bag he handed over, Ye Jiuliang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. What on earth made him so stubborn?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What gift?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignorant to his still-drenched condition, Mo Chen crouched down and pulled a large box out of the bag. Placing it on the table as if it were a treasure, he said, \"Lego bricks, it’s a motorcycle. I’ve already assembled it for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he carefully took the assembled motorcycle out of the box and placed it in front of Ye Jiuliang.\u003C\u002Fp>",1421,"2026-05-30T05:18:55.761Z","2026-06-01T04:30:24.264Z",1,"novelbin.me","87466449886582d91224696b84f5e6c2bd58637b3147629b0fb8446209129145","the-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-chapter-432","the-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-chapter-430",877,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-cover.jpg"]
