Ji Mingqian pursed his lips, suppressing the corners that threatened to rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jiang Yisheng, do you really want to sleep here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person on the sofa, with his back to him, prolonged the silent atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Mingqian touched his nose and his gaze fell upon the chestnut-colored hair. He reached out and pinched a tuft of hair, \"Hey, I was just kidding, don’t be so petty. I put on the shirt, see for yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An unusual sensation came from his head, and Jiang Yisheng pulled the blanket off his face, his fierce gaze lacking any lethality, \"Ji Mingqian, who told you to pull my hair? Can’t you let people sleep peacefully at night?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already tried to treat him as a friend and sealed away all other thoughts. Why did he insist on trampling over the boundaries he had struggled to draw?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Mingqian sheepishly let go of the hair, looking at the mess he made, barely containing the laughter that threatened to spill out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, alright, I’ll stop playing. Go back inside and sleep.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given his terrible sleeping posture, he’s likely to roll off the sofa. If he gets hurt, I’ll have to take responsibility and take him to the doctor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yisheng gave him a cold glance, \"I’m not going.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t be so stubborn, how can you get used to such a small sofa?\" Ji Mingqian sat on the armrest of the sofa, his tone light as he tried to persuade him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words were stuck in his throat, and Jiang Yisheng felt extremely irritated, \"What’s it to you? I like it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Mingqian was provoked into laughter, \"Jiang Yisheng, don’t be ungrateful. If you fall and get hurt or catch a cold here tomorrow, I won’t care about you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All he got in response was silence. Jiang Yisheng pulled the blanket over his head, blocking his view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Mingqian’s eyes darkened slightly as he walked back to the inner room, turning off all the lights in the living room along the way, as if in exasperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of footsteps gradually disappeared behind the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the darkness, the person on the sofa pulled the blanket down, his eyes as clear as crystal, shimmering with an elusive glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yisheng raised his hand to his forehead, and a barely audible sigh dissipated into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind had stopped, the leaves were still, and the bright moon was hidden behind the clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person in bed tossed and turned, unable to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Mingqian sat up abruptly, his deep gaze trying to penetrate the screen to see the living room outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He really was determined to sleep on the sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when he used to play such jokes, Achen, with his explosive temper, would just punch him, never getting as angry as he was now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why was Jiang Yisheng so damn stubborn?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Mingqian ran his fingers through his hair, walking barefoot back outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in the dark, it didn’t affect his ability to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held his breath and walked over, his footsteps absorbed by the carpet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person on the sofa had curled up and fallen asleep, with the blanket that should have covered him lying lonely on the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Mingqian’s lips curled up slightly, the heaviness in his heart dissipating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached out to pick up the blanket, but his elbow accidentally hit a cup on the table. The crisp sound startled the sleeping person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yisheng looked over with sleepy eyes, and upon seeing the person standing next to the sofa, he suddenly became alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze lingered on the blanket in his hand, \"What are you doing with my blanket?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder he was getting colder, his blanket had been taken by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing his suspicious gaze, Ji Mingqian’s handsome face darkened. He threw the blanket back on him, \"What’s that look for? Your blanket fell on the ground, I was picking it up for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just a tattered blanket, and he made me out to be a thief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yisheng caught the blanket and gave him a cool glance, \"What are you doing up in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Mingqian stubbornly said, \"Can’t I get a drink of water?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he picked up the cup on the table and drank a glass of water right in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After downing the glass, Ji Mingqian put the cup down with a thud and turned to go back to the inner room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took two steps forward, then hesitated, his downcast eyes betraying a trace of helplessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine,\" he finally conceded, the first to break the silence, admitting defeat without really losing face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned around to look at the person sitting dumbfounded on the sofa, his lowered voice slightly awkward, \"Do you really plan on spending the night on the couch?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yisheng remained silent, head down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, he owed him that much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to tolerate his own indifferent nature, Ji Mingqian scratched his head in irritation and strode over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up his pillow and blanket, \"Hurry up, I’m not going to pick up your blanket a second time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that said, Ji Mingqian turned and walked ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yisheng watched his retreating figure, emotions flickering obscurely in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Letting out a sigh, he got up and followed at a leisurely pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spacious bed felt somewhat cramped with the addition of another person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Mingqian lay with his hands behind his head, still without the slightest trace of sleepiness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly remembering something, he glanced at the person beside him with the corner of his eye, \"Jiang Yisheng, I want to ask you something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of silence, Jiang Yisheng answered in a muffled voice, \"Hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Mingqian, ever curious, asked, \"Last time, when we played with the lie detector in City C, who was the person you liked?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yisheng had never expected Ji Mingqian to bring this topic up again, and for a moment he was stiff and momentarily stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He deflected superficially, \"That lie detector wasn’t accurate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Mingqian had his own suspicions about the accuracy of the lie detector.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking that Jiang Yisheng was just shy, Ji Mingqian elbowed him jokingly, \"It’s just the two of us here, you can tell the truth, I’ll keep it a secret.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you actually have someone you like?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yisheng blinked, a momentary daze in his eyes, and his voice came out somewhat hoarse, \"...Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief moment of astonishment, Ji Mingqian’s interest was piqued and he pressed on, \"Who is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the words were spoken, the person beside him fell silent once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when Ji Mingqian thought he wouldn’t reply, a hoarse voice spoke again, \"They’re gone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those three light words weighed heavily on Ji Mingqian’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surprise flickered in his shiny black eyes as he pondered what \"they’re gone\" meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had they broken up, or had they passed away?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some thought, he still wasn’t quite sure what Jiang Yisheng meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hesitating, he probed, \"Did you break up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No,\" this time, Jiang Yisheng didn’t hesitate much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, it wasn’t a breakup, which meant passing away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a fate for a beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Mingqian sighed, a twinge of guilt welling up inside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn, he had hit a sore spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After racking his brains for a while, Ji Mingqian patted his shoulder and offered consolation, \"Well, don’t be too sad, you’re still young, you’ll definitely find someone better in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yisheng closed his eyes, responding non-committally with a grunt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m sleepy, don’t bother me anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking he had touched on Jiang Yisheng’s sorrow, Ji Mingqian didn’t dare to speak carelessly anymore, he simply acknowledged with an \"Oh,\" and kept silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>**\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that day reporting to Beisen, Ye Jiuliang continued his usual routine: fishing for three days and drying the nets for two, going to classes as his mood fancied, except on exam days.\u003C\u002Fp>",1351,"2026-05-30T05:18:55.761Z","2026-06-01T04:30:24.264Z",1,"novelbin.me","11bdd1b41ba98e879c632b2b4d2cdbf368b3b6031f162a06767ade7d43ba4ff5","the-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-chapter-436","the-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-chapter-434",877,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-cover.jpg"]
